I've been an anime fan for along time now,about when dbz first started airing in the states.My intreast in dbz made me look it up online and discover it was anime and thus I discoverd what anime was.My first anime purchases,besides various dbz vhs were a few random volumes of slayers next and cowboy bebop. I honestly didn't care at the time to get them in order I simply grabed a couple volumes of each judgeing based on the text description and pictures on the back. What can I say I was a anime noob at the time :P . As luck would have it cowboy bebop is mostly stand alone episodes anyway and the volumes of slayers I got were the fillerish episodes. So I enjoyed both and then went about collecting them in the correct order. Then from there I gradually started to buy more and more vhs of other shows and then eventualy dvds.
I am primary R1 dvd watcher and don't watch fansubs. I am not really againts fansubs or the people that watch them tho because at the end of the day there simply an anime fan just like me. I personaly take pride in building up my collection as a hobby as much as I enjoy watching the shows themselves,plus the money goes to support the anime industry so I feel as if I'm giving back to the product as well. That said I do ocasionaly watch fansubs,but not often as my r1 backlog is huge enough already.I mean really I would love to go watch a bunch of one piece fan subs or somthing atm,but I have to many other shows in my dvd collection I need to watch or rewatch so I don't mind waiting for the r1 release.In recent memory the only fansubs I watched were the last 13 episodes of law of ueki (becuase genon went under) and all of death note(because it was a series I was highly anticipating for the dvd release,yet one of my best friends wouldn't shut up about how great it was and I finally broke and went online and marathoned the first 18 episodes and then from there watched it week by week as the rest came out :P )Honestly besides those two tho I really haven't watched any other recent subs.Prior to that It was very very bad quality episodes of dbz/dbgt and such before certain parts got released here.Tho seeing how I own the entire dragon ball franchise on dvd now I say I paid my dues :P .
As far as what type of anime I like,I really like all kinds,genre doesn't matter.However shonen is probaly my favorite just because I love a good fight.I also enjoy comedy as I love to laugh.My two favorite franchises are probaly dragon ball and slayers, db for getting me into anime to start with and slayers for being another great gateway anime that got me really deeper into the hobby.So maybe its a bit of nostalga,but I also feel both stand the test of time and have a ton of replay value.I also prefer to watch anime dubbed,unless the dub is just horrible,however I enjoy watching subbed as well so either is fine.
Besides being an anime fan I am also a big video game player,suprise suprise! :P .
As far as my collection is organized:
Completed:About 99% of these I own the dvds of,the other 1% is what I've seen on tv.Like I said I buy alot of dvds :P
Watching:These are dvds I own as well that I am in the middle of watching.
On Hold:Dvds I own as well,but I have yet to even start aka Backlog.
Plan to Watch:I'll be putting shows I plan to buy on dvd.
Dropped:Shows I started to buy and stoped.
