I only really (re)discovered anime with the 1st lockdow in Belgium.
Although i've seen anime from 1997 on , but only like by renting them from VideoStar. I can still remember my very 1st one - no title though , so bad w/ names - EDO period samurai , cutting heads left & right.
It got my fascinated but in those days i worked 6 out of 7 days at a rate of 14 hrs a day , so only time for eating & sleeping.
The pandemic really put things in overdrive for me as i got severe double brain surgery in OCT. 2019 and i was put on medical leave for a year (revalidation). I started watching non-stop , season after season , Title after title ... I became an addict!
Through my revalidation more medical issues came to light , like tremors in hands , legs & neck which made me unhireable for most jobs. And so i was permanently made redundant.
Luckely i live in a socialist country with much help for people like me. Now 5 years at home ( do volunteer work at a social bureau) i still watch anime on a daily basis.
In 2023 a friend told me about MAL , he recollected that i had a list of all anime i watched since 2015 with dates & my own rating system , so he mentioned that i could put it on MAL.
The problem was the tremors were so intense typing was out , but since a month i got really good meds for it so i started putting in the titles bit by bit ...
Only at F now so i believe it will take me another 2 months to put my "watched" list in completely ! I also started a "must watch" list , thanks to MAL !
Happy to have been introduced to this wonderfull platform.
Thank you all for having me !
