Oh hey

Welcome! And well, I dunno. To me, it's a lifestyle, and 80% of what I watch these days. Most of my friends are people I meet at anime cons, people I met at school or college who went to anime cons with me, or people from games like Humans vs Zombies... Who largely crossover into the american otaku scene. And of course I am surrounded by people at work in redneckville, Ohio who don't understand what a "japanese cartoon" is, but I know how to break down my hobbies interests to the uninitiated, so I come off as fairly normal. Whether are or aren't doesn't matter to me. I have never had much of a problem openly being me.

Don't have friends so I wouldn't know. Welcome.
