Hi!
After spending some time lurking around the boards and the site, I've finally signed up.
I've enjoyed anime and manga for a long time, but only in the past year has it become my main passion. A year ago I could regularly be found reading novels, but now manga occupies most of my reading time (and anime likewise my viewing time). I'm particularly excited this year with all the high profile UK anime releases - especially Eva Platinum, Trigun and Full Metal Alchemist - and the new manga being Westernized.
I'm also very interested in our little island's lack of anime and manga, considering recent visits to the US and the European mainland have shown me that while the US is full of anime and Western Europe (France in particular) feature manga more prominantly in bookstores than many other genres, we are pretty much limited to the Internet, Borders for manga and a few small shops. And, of course, the current lack of anime on UK TV goes against its rise around the rest of the world.
So, in conclusion, Hi!
