But true friendship is forever, no matter what happens. -Kawaisou da yo ne... (pathetic).

Hi thar. Why do I like anime? I ponder this often and this is mayhaps one of the better answers I can come up with may read along the lines off:
Anime and manga are complete fantasies, specifically anime is completely divorced from the reality of motion pictures. This is of note as I am a science fiction fan and the realities of modern tv shows just can't do justice to the wacky messed up world we can think up for ourselves via the means of modern physics. Drawing/Animating a black hole quantum implosion wave (tm) is a bit easier than coming up with a live action effect slapped onto a green screen and having your actors react appropriately. It also helps that some anime shows aren't scared to provoke thought in the viewers by using science. For instance look at Noein or Bokurano. Both shows require the viewers to engage some brain matter in the interpretation of science and allow the viewer to come upon their own conclusion and thoughts in their own circles. What matters in these series are how the stories are told and their images are pushed upon the viewers for their own consumption. |

Oops. This is actually the first time I've looked at this thread. Another forum I hang out on has a rather low rate of retaining newbies past them signing up, so I usually skip welcome threads. Well, that and I like to jump into participating right away. Online that is of course. Offline I'm likely to be either unknown or known as the one who never speaks

After much adieu I have decided to make my official debut into the ANN forums. My actual identity is unimportant, it's really what I symbolize that has true significance.
So far several individuals have postulated that my forum handle is gibberish or random or otherwise unfit to reproduce in quotes.
As the person quoted I can verify the accuracy of this quotation. That pretty much sums it up. I'm just an ordinary man with an inclination for dual-wielding/dewl-wielding a pivotal MGS character. Don't make it into something more than it is. I'm also a shadow disciple of David Riley. I also may be Master Riley's only pupil, thus perhaps his greatest one. I'll update this when I think of pertenant personal information that may be desirable. Until then, hi. |

Okay, Doweldipperspiff, I've been looking at your posts so far... and here's the thing: If you're going to be a pretentious arrogant condescending narcissist around here, you're facing stiff competition -- we've pretty much got a glut of that type of poster in these fora.
Also, if you're going to throw around fancy-schmancy words, make sure you use them correctly, or you'll just make an even bigger fool of yourself. Spelling them correctly works, too. - abunai Cornering the market on pretentious arrogant condescending narcissism since 1965. |

I would like to take the opportunity to make the distinction between being pretentious, arrogant, and condescending and speaking in jest. I sometimes get wild ideas in my head about things I think are amusing, and sometimes I want to share that with people. I really seem to be rubbing some of you the wrong way...I thought it was pretty obvious I wasn't actually being serious. I'm interested in being around here because I think that you are interesting people, and I'd like to be a part of that. I don't want to prey on your sensitivities, even though some people have surmised otherwise. I also acknowledge that I am capable of mistakes, and I'm more than willing to take criticism even at the cost of precious internet street cred. That said if I misspell a word, or if you think I shouldn't be using a word in a certain way, I'd really appreciate it if you'd PM me and explain yourself instead of just complaining that my communication is lacking, because you cannot expect me to improve otherwise. |

Don't worry about abunai, he's actually pretty good-natured. If arrogance were a sense of humor, he'd be.. [fill in the blank with your favorite comedian]. Seriously, you get used to it after a while.

I've thought about writing a book, or w/e. but I either get discouraged or keep procrastinating.
