About
My name is Justin, I’m 18 years old and I live in Michigan.
- High school drop out.
- Huge Heavy Metal fan, but I also dig some other stuff.
- I’m very shy, even on the internet.
- I [ heart ] web design and graphic design, among many other things.
- I like the color pink.
My interests are pretty much all over the place. Photography, art, blogging, Japanese culture, graphic design, web design, electric guitar, bass, of course anime and manga, lots of live-action shows along with American cartoons, romance themed stuff (which you’ll find out more about that later I’m sure), brainstorming, being lazy, board games, card games, video games, and life.
Welcome to my anime blog! I will be posting anything to do with anime but mostly summaries of the latest aired episodes. I always wanted to have an anime blog. However, I’ve been afraid to do so. Mainly, because I might get scolded but I don’t care anymore. Its all opinion based, theres no right or wrong when it comes to such things.
Anime is a still pretty new to me, even though I had a “run in” with it a long time ago. I loved Digimon, Pokemon, and I remeber various other anime shows that were airing around that same time. Already being a fan of comics and American cartoons, I fell in love with Anime almost instantly.
However, I soon found myself “scared” to watch and or enjoy anime and the culture that came with it. Mainly because my brothers thought it was “stupid” or “gay”. They just thought it was lame. I was pretty young and wanted to be like my brothers, thus, wanted them to like me. A few years past by. Then, in about 2005 or so, I bought a Shounen Jump magazine strictly for the “Archfiend of Gilfer” Yu-Gi-Oh card (I played the game heavily). This particular issue had One Piece in it, a series that caught my eye right away. I went on to read the whole magazine, even though the stores were all very far in. Shortly after I decide to buy volume 1 of One Piece and Fullmetal Alchemist.
These days, I find myself watching subbed anime, studying the Japanese language and Japan’s culture. I do still have some “fear”. I tend to watch my anime alone mostly because I’m easily embarrassed by stuff. As much as I love anime I find a lot of the time the situations presented make me feel weird and uneasy. Its hard for me to explain…
