Gateway Drugs. Or How I Got To Know Anime.

If I were to track my interest in anime far enough back, I would end up blaming my much-older brother whom I looked up to a lot, and tried to emulate in many ways, particularly in making myself interested in the things he was interested in. One of these interests of course was in Japanese culture.

From there(many years later), I just took my own liberties in interests, and before I knew it, I was hooked on Dragonball Z. I think one of the things that drew me to that show over other shows playing at that time was the fact that the shows were serial, rather than episodal. I had never before encountered shows which followed such a format, and I really liked it(even though the pace was gruelling), and thus I bit the hook.

Then, not too long afterwards, I went to an anime club meeting at my high school (wow, I'm dorktastic), and saw the original Ghost in the Shell, with the (at that time) complex and challenging plot, and I liked that even more; the hook was set, and the rest is history.

Why am I up so late?:-(

Jam it back in, in the dark.
