Kabitzin: “You’re selected!” Me: “Noblesse oblige, please continue being a Sea Slug messiah”
August 13th, 2009
Allow me to introduce myself…
And so I bowed before the selection committee and lo and behold, after many grueling interviews, three aptitude tests and one extra private session, I was selected to be the new writer on Sea Slugs! (Well to be honest, I sent an e-mail, wrote a sample post and I was chosen, and apparently someone else was already chosen before this process even started).
Allow me to introduce myself. I’m Epi and I’ve been visiting this blog since 2005 back when Kabitzin and I were the only two people I knew of who were blogging Suzuka. Since then I’ve regularly added my random comment here and there. I still remember when I missed replying to pick up my ‘prize’ of having the 4000th comment. Man that sucked… I think I was on vacation at the time.
I’ve been watching anime since I was too young to understand TV, but only started watching subbed anime with the release of the digisubs of Love Hina back in 2000 (I saw quite a few dubbed shows though, but I guess those don’t count). A few years later, I discovered the goodness that was Jeff Lawson’s anime blog (back when it was a 4-koma episodic blog) in addition to good old Karmaburn. From there my interest in anime blogging increased exponentially. Eventually I started my own blog (some of you may have read my blog AnimeSlice) which I ran for a few years before the pressures of school/work caught up to me. In the meantime I visited Japan twice (with a wall full of Gatcha to prove it) and watched more anime than I care to recall.
Recently I’ve managed to get some more free time and as such am free to blog again. The Sea Slugs! opportunity was too good to pass up. Instead of trying to round up readers, wouldn’t it be much better to be a writer for my favorite blog instead? Well here I am and I hope that you’ll all enjoy my writings here! I’m going to start slow by only blogging Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but I imagine that will increase once I get going. I may still add a few random posts here and there on AnimeSlice if I think they don’t really fit here as well.
Current shows I’m following (in no particular order):
- Sora no Manimani
- Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
- Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu Season 2
- Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
- Bakemonogatari
- CANAAN
- Saki
- Phantom ~Requiem for the Phantom
- Spice and Wolf Season 2
- Shangri-La
- Tears to Tiara
(yes I watch too much anime)
P.S. Sorry Shin :p
