Greetings horde... all 5 of you.

For the 5 of you who've stumbled upon this blog who don't know what it is already and aren't here to spam... a belated introduction of the three of us that run this nuthouse:

*Minigendo:
  • name: David
  • aliases: Dave, Kratzenmeyer, Game & Watch, Soul Doctor, Pimpmaster Supreme, Owner of the Invincible Cone of Solitude (hereafter known as ICoS)
  • base of operations: Cary, NC, USA
  • favorite anime: El Hazard
  • favorite character: Ikari Gendou. Period.
  • favorite manga: Berserk
  • goals in life: to dominate the world and be able to take naps while doing it, I think.

*Kamatari:

  • name: Wei
  • aliases: Kamatari, Kamatari47 (because people register my normal nick without ever intending to use it), Ur-Wei, Evil Mastermind, Instrument of Whupass, Vampire Among Us.
  • base of operations: Winterville, NC, USA.
  • favorite anime: Serial Experiments Lain. And anything else that rapes the mind half as well.
  • favorite character: Ayukawa Madoka (from Kimagure Orange Road).
  • favorite manga: GTO. Although I do read a lot of stuff that are similarly promising.
  • goals in life: to bring down the nameless cabal of demons in human skinsuits plotting to brainwash us all into slaving, paying automata devoid of any artistic taste or sense of linguistic veracity. Hereafter we shall refer to this nameless cabal under the pseudoacronym "ADV."

*Yerameyahu:

  • name: Jeremy
  • aliases: Dread Lord, Dr. Slackopolis, Mister T-Shirt, Rhaphis, Mr. Square Smiley, Grim Cyning
  • base of operations: Durham, NC, USA
  • favorite anime: Eva, Bebop, Champloo
  • favorite character: the interrobang
  • favorite manga: That's like a comic book, yeah?
  • goals in life: Sandwiches, video games, and movies, whilst seated on an aged, riveted-leather wing chair in a large, hardwood-panelled library with a ceiling of at least 14'... and the formation of a benevolent world despotism.

We're big fans of Japanese animation and manga, and we've started up this blog to broadcast our biased opinions on such to the world. Updates may not be frequent, but I hereby promise that when I (Kamatari) write a review for anything, it will be quite detailed and worth your while to read (as long as you don't mind me spoiling all the salient aspects of the plot, if one happened to be present -- no sure thing, y'know). This is also our forum for sharing our views on what's going on in the protoculture, and it is our place to whine and moan when something we don't like is happening (and there are a great deal of such somethings goin' down at any given time, trust me). We'd certainly appreciate it if any fans show up to converse with us, be it to praise or criticize, since we're all for the sharing of opinions in the first place. So don't hesitate to comment on anything you read here... the Masters encourage it!
