I love anime manga and games, my name is an awkward Soul Eater/B-Ichi reference, and I'm concerned about the state of the manga industry!

It's not obligatory to introduce yourself, you didn't violate some rule. There are some people here who're in their forties (or older). You're not alone Smile. Welcome to you, CharismaJustice and also to BloomingWallflower. What do you study, if I may ask (you don't have to share it if you don't want to)?

Joined earlier this year, but never saw this section until now. I'm from Seattle, like quite a few series. I'm a cosplayer, and handle comes from that as Kenshin was my first cosplay. And this is the anime I own, minus Transformers Cybertron and all of Voltron:

While it may not be obligatory those who do not introduce themselves here do not get cupcakes or cookies. So there are advantages. Wink

Marlene--
  1. In case no one has yet done so, I welcome you to the fora!
  2. I cannot help but notice that there are a number of mainstream hollywood shows that you like. How are they shown in the Netherlands? (e.g., Subs? Dutch Dubs? English audio?) How popular -- in general -- are U.S. shows in the Netherlands?
  3. Are you aware that there are other Dutch users here?

Thanks!

Pretty much everything is subbed round here, except for kids cartoons which are usually dubbed (though Cartoon Network has the option to watch it in the original language thank god, because Regular Show and Chowder sound awful in Dutch).
As for the popularity of certain shows, I don't really know a lot about that since I tend to download most shows that I like or buy it on dvd whenever it's available in the UK or US. Suits, Justified and Once Upon A Time aren't even on here.

I did notice one other Dutch user a while back, but that's about it! Have we invaded ANN? Wink

Where? I have seen Ortensia1980 before (was it in the retail forum?)... Guess I'll have to do my homework and read all the introductions *stalker mode*

As for invading ANN, I tried to look scary with my username and all, but I don't think it worked.

As for US shows: the few I know something about are the Big Bang Theory, Grey's Anatomy, New Girl, Private Practice, Two and a Half Men and lots of MTV shows. Yes, also Jersey Shore. I think I forgot a lot of them, since I'm not that interested (I do like the Big Bang Theory though). But some of them are quite popular.

Must try harder!

Oh, and I'm usually in the Retail section so that's probably right.

While I enjoy Rose of Versailles, I wouldn't rank is as a favourite, even if I was listing more than my top five. The username was actually inspired from the real Marie Antoinette.
