ETA: August 2014. LOL. This time I really took a long break. But I'm watching stuff now. There is so much stuff to see!
ETA: January 2012. I'm back after 8 months of no anime or manga, and all I'm really interested in is rewatching new shows. I think that, after 18 years, I'm simply done being an anime fan.
Old profile info:
Since my favorite anime speaks to me on a personal level most of the "about me" stuff can be guessed from my list. Kudos to whoever can guess what I like aside from anime. (No, people that already know that need not apply. :P )
I dislike people who dislike the anime I like and/or like the anime I loathe. I very rarely make compromises when it comes to anime so if you see my list and disagree with most of it, you can be incredibly funny, witty, whatever, chances are I will not like you. It's not that I'm 100% intolerant. Usually I'm not. (Well, except with people who are fanatical about their religion/morality and try to impose it on others. I'm pretty sure I do not want your religion or your rules as I have mine.)
Morinaga Milk is one of my favorite mangaka. I'm also interested in Kotegawa Yua (scanlate moar! everything, everything!), Inoue Takehiko (for REAL mostly), and Kamio Yoko (I like both Cat Street and Matsuri Special, dropped Hana Yori Dango a long time ago, but I'll give it a try again at some point).
My favorite composer is Yuki Kajiura. I also like Yoko Kanno and Shoji Meguro (too bad he didn't do the OST for the Persona anime).
Sidenote: My name does NOT come from Bleach or Death Note. I've been using it for a long time and I only watched Bleach recently, caving in to people's insistence >.>
Feeling like you wanna press some button?
If no, good for us both.
If yes...

so, are you in ?
Still feel very protective of her, since she's the only sibling-in-law I have now, and I have very quickly grown to care about my wife's family as if they were my own.
I've met several women I'd hook her up with but the several thousand mile distance precludes setting her up on blind dates. (Plus the fact that I'm philosophically opposed to the idea of setting anyone up on blind dates in the first place, especially not right now while she's on the rebound.) There are certainly women smart enough and mature enough for her, she just hasn't dated any of them >.<
I've actually been a pretty good matchmaker through the years (three marriages, several other long term relationships from folks I've introduced to each other). All of those have been "traditional" pairings though ...
I did like Kuchibiru, though. I think the only reason I enjoyed Girl Friends more is because it is one big story, rather than different stories like Kuchibiru is.
The club is really dead now. I haven't been watching anything with anyone. I've kind of gone back to whatever. I pop into WATCH a bit now and then, but others like blue, bmfreak, and trube really have taken over that club.
As you know, I definitely don't read Okane ga Nai (for example) for the plot. ^_^;
I'm only watching Natsume Yuujinchou and Another. I might even drop the latter.
That's the reason I decided to watch Ranma, and so far I'm enjoying it a whole lot more than most of what I've watched in the last few years.
I loved Penguindrum a lot. It has a lot of methaphors trying to illustrate various concepts, so it's possible you'll like it. Not saying for sure, as I was convinced you'd have liked Shiki for all the psychological stuff... but you only lasted an episode. :)
In all seriousness though she herself is actually pretty classy, wish I could say the same for the last girl she dated. (I mean, I liked the girl, but she was nowhere near smart enough or mature enough for imouto-chan. OMG, I have an imouto-chan now.) Honestly I just want her to be happy like Mrs. Miwa and I are.
Problem I had with Strawberry Panic is that the characters almost seemed to have little to no context outside all that drama, but meh, it wasn't *terrible* just not my thing (at least not compared to Aoi Hana).
Also, I'm super picky. I <3 stuff like MariMite and Aoi Hana but was irritated by Strawberry Panic! because it just felt trashy to me.
(Maybe it's because my sis-in-law is this way IRL so I feel the need to sort of defend her and her way of life from being misrepresented? Agh, who knows? WOW late night tangent.)
