Introductions / Meet ANN / Tell us about Yourself (w/ index).

Ah, uhm. Hi everyone I'm rather new here, as you can already tell my username is ColorfulDeath but people online often call me Color. I would fill out the entire form located on the front page but alas I don't quite have enough time at the moment. ^^"
I'm rather young compared to almost everyone here, definitely not 18+, but not worry because I am of a fair age. I found this website while trying to figure out when the next season of Ao No Exorcist was going to air. (Apparently they haven't planned on a second season yet though) I've been lurking around for a few months and finally decided to join and so, here I am! c:
Its very nice to meet fellow otaku's like myself and I hope to have a good time here with everyone.
(I suddenly feel very young and innocent after I looked at everyone's ages.... ;-; )

About Me:
I started watching anime way back in the day before I even knew what anime was, but the thing that truly hooked me was Toonami. Such an awesome setup that was. I've just started reading manga thanks to a friend's suggestion and am now hooked on that but it can be soooo costly lol. Aside from the anime and manga I tend to spend my time on my PS3, especially with Skyrim just releasing, or fooling around with my writing. Who knows one day I may actually have enough ideas to create a novel. I love to be outside and with people but with working in retail and all the random schedules it makes hanging out rather difficult.

I'm looking forward to being apart of your community. I already enjoy what I have seen and read from you all. Thanks for reading this.

My name is Akito Kinomoto. I've been around the Internet anime community almost as long as I've been watching the stuff, which is about six years now. I'd like to believe that between Time of Eve, Haibane Renmei, Clannad: After Story and Legend of the Galactic Heroes that I'm open to a lot of things, though I'm willing to admit my biases if left without an objective alternative.

Aside from anime, I also have an interest in writing, infrequently for a blog and occasionally for a review whether it be anime, movies or even TV shows.

As of now though, I'm just waiting to see where my life will take me next.

Yeah, you know my name at the left hand side but I actually want to register with my new created nicky: Echizen Ryomine. If you do not feel similar about this name then I think you neither like sports nor tennis.

Well, before I join this community, I am searching sites that provides anime information and discussion. Due to my laziness, I found this at the top results of the google search and here I am. I have been roaming around chinese sites but now I want to know if english sites has those kind of functions from those sites.

Anyway, here's the summary about myself.

About me:

I started to watch anime from February 2011 and officially started my story writing since June 2011 due to the inspiration from anime. Before I step out into the anime world, I like to write story but I am not mature enough to continue writing. (Well, not like I can keep writing since November? Like I say I started writing because of anime so writing is not my top priority although I like when I complete a chapter or even a story)

The first official anime I watch that brings me to the gate of anime world is Bleach. LOL, the no-return path of anime world. The following is the actual sequence of anime.

Bleach - Katekyo Hitman Reborn - Fairy Tail - Naruto/Naruto Shippuuden - Kuroshitsuji - Pandora Hearts - Saiyuki/Gunlock/Reload - (from this part onwards are romance/harem)Fruitbasket - Ouran High School Host Club - Special A - Kaichou wa Maid Sama - Sora no Otoshimono - Seikirei/Pure Engagement - (This part is BL) - Junjou Romantica - Sekiichi Hatsukoi - (Light Novels from here) Kyo kara Maou - something Index no Majutsu - Gintama - (trying new/ongoing anime) Beelzebub - Ao No Exorcist - Gosick - No.6 - (old anime from here again) Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion - Prince of Tennis - Slam Dunk - One Piece

until now, still trying to catch up all the popular anime include Clannad. The list above is not the full list, I am just trying the best of my memory to type out the sequence. Here's the genre.

Hotblooded - Dark/Depression - Romance/Harem/Reverse Harem - BL - Light Novels - Machinery - Sports - Hotblooded

My small little dream:
To complete my story series and if one day I learn how to draw manga, I will want to draw them. Of course, if there is a chance, hope to make them into animation.
