Report Bucknerd's Profile

My name is Chelsea.

I'm 29 years old in Tennessee. By day I work for the US Department of Energy, by night I'm a gamer. I am an INFP. I love history and politics, I enjoy reading and video games, and I have a Siamese cat named Bulma and a grey kitty named Yennefer (Yen) of Vengerberg.

When I was 13 my parents banned anime (because Jesus) so as an adult I'm trying to play catch-up from my lost teenage and early adult years. It has been fun rediscovering my love for both anime and the convention circuit. I've also enjoyed sharing my hobby with my best friend/boyfriend. It's been a huge change having someone as deeply entrenched in weeb culture as me and I'm super grateful. The same appreciation is applied to the niche that is of the web that is AniTwitter. Ya'll are stars.

I enjoy Slice of Life, Fantasy, Psychological, Comedy, Drama, Thriller, and Sci-Fi anime. I have no qualms jumping from something as fluffy as Lucky Star or Silver Spoon to something as substantial as Neon Genesis Evangelion or Akira. I also have a soft place in my heart for 90s anime. I tend to stray from the "big" Shounen series but I can enjoy them for what they are. My cat is named Bulma after all.

My favorite animation studios are Madhouse, Kyoto Animation, Shaft, P.A. Works, Trigger, and of course - Studio Ghibli. Gainax also has an important place in my heart due to the history of the studio.

I am also interested in how anime became popular in the West and listening to stories from 80s/90s era otaku. The passion of animation fans from that era is contagious and something that should not be left by the wayside.

My ratings are based off of my personal enjoyment and not the individual merit of the work itself. The same is true for my list of favorite anime.

My goal for 2018 is to watch 75 different anime. You can check on my status here:
