*grin*I'm not sure how to explain my love of anime. Maybe it's the outrageous hairstyles, or perhaps I've just always loved animated movies since my first Disney experience and never quite let go of that joy. All I know is I still get cravings all the time and have a burning desire to go see Japan.
It's a pity I don't have as much time as I used to, to get lost in episode after episode until late at night – it’s the sacrifices I grudgingly make to preserve Neil’s sanity. I think that it really has gotten a bit bad though, so will make more of an effort to educate myself a bit more. Look at all the things you can learn!*NOTE: This was just a fun e-mail, which landed in my box. I’ve edited the list slightly just to personalize it a little.
