Hey there,

How's it going everyone?

Welllll. I'm Nathan, I'm 24 and from Chesterfield (that's near Sheffield *nods*) but I'm in Notts. a fair bit and used to live there. Wanting to get involved with anything and everything anime event related. Just be cool to meet people who also like anime rather than just trying to convert all of my friends, heh.

As for my anime tastes. Hm. Well. I go for lots and lots of different things. Enjoy some shounen but a bit more into seinen these days. Started on Akazukin Cha Cha and Mahoujin Guru Guru many years ago and carried on the addiction. Recent loves have been the obvious "usual suspects" Full Metal Alchemist, Naruto, Bleach, Death Note, Haruhi plus things like Lucky Star, Keroro Gunsou, Kore Wa Zombie Desu Ka?, Soul Eater and High School of the Dead.

Though obviously that's just a taster of what I've seen. Well versed in the classics also.

Welcome! If you wanna meet anime fans you have come to the right place!

With our combined knowledge of anime we all have a huge variety of tastes, mine being anything and almost everything.

Thanks thanks. Yup, I guessed that might be so, hehe.

I bet there is a massive range of anime fans here, hehe. Be fun to learn about stuff I never found myself.

There sure is!

They have shown a few things that I loved and if it weren't for them I probably would never have touched them Azumanga Daioh, Moyashimon and Last Exile for example ^_^

Hey Nathan and welcome. Wow Chesterfield, that's quite a trek! It's a relief to be able to talk to people that understand what you're talking about, which is part of the appeal of Namsoc.

I started off watching mainstream stuff when I was 13: Tenchi, Gundam Wing, Escaflowne, Tekkaman Blade and [cough] Dragonballz; but it didn't really rub off until I started watching anime again when I was 18 and a few years later here I am.

I got more than anime out of going to Namsoc, I've been to Anime cons and had a blast, discovered cosplay and the understanding of why it is cool to sing in a foreign language. I'm enjoying giving something back to the anime community as secretary for namsoc and by doing extra little bits such as making promo vids and maintaining social networking accounts on behalf of namsoc. We're on facebook, twitter (new) and youtube. I'm hoping to spend some time on youtube but could do with sorting out a better mic for the laptop first.
