I've been watching anime and reading manga since I was a kid, starting with Akira and Grey in 1989 (making me a wizened mummy by MAL standards). Neither were widely available in the US back then, so my watching and reading were pretty sporadic. For example, my only option for Nausicaä was an Nth-generation VHS bootleg of the hellish US dubbed version, Warriors of the Wind. (#+_+)
It wasn't until around 2013 that I got into anime and manga as hobbies in their own right. I started tracking down manga I'd enjoyed as a kid, and then got hooked on Death Note. When I joined MAL in 2016 that expanded my horizons, deepened my interest in anime, and got me into all sorts of stuff I wouldn't have considered on my own. I enjoy exploring new stuff, old stuff, popular stuff, and whatever sounds like fun.
