One day I discovered a site filled with pictures of different anime characters and a few caught my eye. Although, I couldn't watch their shows in the United States, I soon learned that I could at least read the manga on which the anime was based.
With my Waldon's giftcard in hand I headed off to the bookstore and went directly to the "graphic novels" section. The first ones I bought were Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho. I also picked up Inuyasha. All of which I'd watched on television. Taking a risk, I then grabbed Gravitation and Clamp School Detectives. Much to my surprise - and pleasure - I loved them. I can hardly wait to get back there so I can get the next book in the series.
Out of my love for anime and manga, I wished to adopt a sprite of Kurama and one of Hiei. I found an adorable site filled with anime kitties and quickly learned that, like potato chips, you can never have just one! Now I have a whole page full.
Added to that, my love for creating alternate universes where characters from very different shows know each other lead to a school - like Hogwart's - filled with characters from a bunch of different animes. To my pleasent surprise, it was an endevour my sister joined me in and we soon had quite a few stories written.
I'm currently ironing out the details on an alternate universe of Rurouni Kenshin. Those stories will be up as soon as the timeline is worked out to my liking.
