Lately, I spend most of my free time watching anime. I started with Naruto at first & I am proud to say that I am a Naruto fan and collecting the DVDs. I am not so keen with manga (not that I don't like reading, I have read almost all the Harry Potter books, mind you ... err only the last 4 heheh and Patricia Cornwell's), but I am following the online Naruto manga and that is because the manga is very much updated that the anime version.
While waiting for new Naruto DVDs, I try to watch other anime I can find in my favourite store (some of them were recommended). I spend almost RM50 every week on the DVDs (I am not so proud at this however heheh). Later, I would spend my evenings watching them until late night. Hmm... if you call 3 to 4 am is late night, that is. My husband said that I am obsessed by animes. Hahahah I am not an otaku yet because I am not into video games and cosplay, I tell you.
Well, only after 2 years enjoying Naruto only I opened myself to other anime. I know it's a long time, I guess I am afraid that I might start other anime collection if I started to enjoy them. For example, I don't follow Bleach because like Naruto, the story still continues to date. I only bought animes that has ending episode.
After Naruto, I watched Shion No Oh. It's about a girl named Shion who enjoys playing shougi (I believe it's a Japanese chess) with a mystery surrounding her about her parents' death. I like mysteries. The reason I chose this particular anime is because she plays shougi (like Shikamaru in Naruto) and there is a mystery in it.
Didn't I tell you I started with Naruto? Hmm, yes if it's anime. But with manga, I started with Hajime Kindaichi when I am still a teenager. And then with Detective Conan. I am not so keen with Dragon Ball as my husband is (and he is still a Dragon Ball fan up until now). But we both like Naruto. Thanks to my brothers, Ikmal and Afif, and my youngest sister, Zatty. If it not for them, I won't be exposed to anime and manga. At that time, there were many comics coming from China. I remember posting them a comic called, "Harimau Laut" every month from Penang where I was studying.
Thank you Mal, Afif & Zatty for introducing me to this animanga world hehehe.
