Expertise

I can answer many questions such as who voice acted for such and such, or when did blah blah air first in America, or perhaps, can I get a review on this anime, or when will this anime come out. I`m happy to answer any and all questions to the best of my knowledge and online research. I've watched and read series from the ever popular Sailor Moon and Naruto to practically unknown titles such as Detroit Metal City and Tokyo Marble Chocolate. If I haven't heard of the anime I'll still do what I can to help you in your search.

Experience in the area

I love anime, I've been a fan for practically all my life, and still going, I go to conventions, I'm on tons of forums and websites, I just love the world of anime and hope to gain more and more experience in it, and be helpful to others by answering quesitons.

Education/Credentials

Vice President of my High School Anime Club. Other than that, not really many classes on the subject. 5+ years of studying Japanese and 6+ years of going to Anime Conventions.

Awards and Honors

I've won a few awards for being top student in most if not all of my Japanese classes. Not really any awards in anime other than winning a few contests and giveaways.

What do you like about this subject?

I just love the storylines, the characters, the thrill and imagination put into all series and the breathtaking art and animation all put together with fantastic voice acting whether subs in original Japanese context or not, anime is truly amazing. I can also answer many questions on manga, but anime is truly my forte though I must give it to the o

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?

I hope to excel in this field as a life career, but for now this practice and help in getting others in touch of the world of anime is a joy in itself.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

Not many know about anime no matter how popular it may be right now. Though thousands of people, maybe millions, worldwide all share a passion for anime, it's still an untapped source of entertainment and enjoyment.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject

The whole subs vs. dubs will always be a touchy subject as in anime vs. manga, I prefer neutrality and there are certain cases where one is better than the other, but all in all I have to say everything about anime, manga, everything is wonderful and those who dub series are really just trying to make it easier for the listeners of the language they speak, and to help those who can't read or just

2009-11-20 Good Anime:

To be honest Erick, I haven't seen Last Exile so I couldn't really tell you how it is. Even if I looked up an episode guide, the best I can do is find summaries so if there are minor details of things

Unfortunately, anime series and movies based on sports are not my forte. The only series I can suggest to you that have a connection to wrestling that I know of are kinnikuman, and tiger mask. Both series

The thing is, there is no such thing as free and LEGAL for an entire series. I admit, for some promos of anime companies they will give free DVDs and download codes for maybe a few episodes usually the
