12 Moments in Anime: #1 Evolving and Stuff
I feel like I’ve grown up in a few different ways over the course of the year. I’m a senior in high school who will be attending college in less than a year. I’ve furthered my growth as a singer. I have a boyfriend. I sewed my own Halloween costume. And I devoured an obscene amount of anime.
I’ve watched approximately 210 titles this year. That’s more than the amount of anime I’ve watched in the past five years combined. Yes, I realize that’s a bit of an issue. But so much anime consumption really helped me mature as a fan.
I made my MAL account back in 2007, but only started using it this year. Up until now, I only followed two blogs. Now I’m stalking twelve. Hell, I started my own damn pathetic excuse for a blog. (Twice.) I now know my preferences when it comes to animation studios, and in a few cases, directors. I’ve matured as both a person and as an anime fan. (Although I still act like a five year old a lot.)
Moment #1: Hopping on the blog train.
I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas!
(I got the first season of Utena on DVD. Nothing else matters right now.)
agkagal MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Hey, you have a blog now! Awesome! I never wanted to comment before since you had to have a livejournal account *shuuder*. Merry Christmas!
Haha, understandable. LJ has been being such a dumbfuck lately.
And Merry Christmas to you as well! (When I get to it, I’ll be putting you on my blogroll.)
Nice to see you’ve accomplished so much this year ^_^ I hope you enjoy your college experience as much as I did (will you be moving away to college or going somewhere local?)
I’ve been really surprised at how much anime you’ve been watching lately. Even though I hit 300 completed titles before you, you overtook me in no time! You’ve almost completed fifty more titles than I have now. I wonder if college will slow you down XD
Merry Xmas to you, too, and enjoy your Utena set (I remember you saying you don’t have many anime DVDs. Would these be your first?)
I plan on staying on the north east, but I’ll be living on campus. And thank you
Haha, it most likely will. But I hope that I have time for at least two shows a season.
Nope. I already had: Baccano!, Cowboy Bebop, Evangelion 1.0, Yuyu Hakusho, and the Orange Islands DVDs. But as of now, I have more Yuyu Hakusho, Utena, and Gankutsuou. Only Baccano! and Cowboy Bebop are complete though.
And Merry Christmas!
