you know, ive been here for almost a year and i dont think i ever introduced myself, and if i had, i dont remember it, so here goes:
username comes from watching old Force Five tapes from the 70's which included Grendizer, Starblazers, Getter Robo, and a couple others i cant remember, but yeah, the name of the pilot of Grendizer was Ares Astronopolis, and i though that that was just about the most outrageously greek name i have ever heard, and adopted it as my own for internet uses(i am greek BTW).
favorite food: Steak and Potatoes
Blood type: B+
Birthday: Feb 7th 1982
Chinese Zodiac: DOG Baby! this is my year!
uh...
what else...
oh yeah, anime preferences. Im a big fan of mecha, but not so much of gundam SEED unfortunately. even though wing gundam was my introduction into the gundam series, it was good for the place i was at at the time, meaning an immature kid being introduced to japanese mecha shows pretty much for the first time, since then ive gotten into the "roots" of the genre by watching super robot shows like Getter Robo and Mazinger, and pretty much moving along chronologically backwards, im into Gigantor (a.k.a. Tetsujin 28) right now, and you might ask why id be able to watch such a poorly animated show, i find it charming and interesting to see the beginning of the implementation of animation techniques currently used today, albeit tweaked a tad. but yeah, back on track, i really like to watch the "greats" of the 70s and 80s where i think anime truly hit its stride with great storytelling and intuitive mechanical design, some examples: MSG, Ideon, L-Gaim, uh, cant think right now
but yeah, im not against modern anime and im not an "elitist" by any means, i just find it interesting to look back and see where it all started and be able to look ahead and await what great things that are and will be done with anime *cough* Eureka seveN *cough*
oh yeah, im not an exclusively mecha anime fan, i like all types, but i find mecha anime to be most closely related to the hopes and aspirations of modern society throughout the years, on a purely cultural level
what the fuck that was really long winded, i sound like a professor or something, so here i will counter all the big words i wrote by saying this: GUNDUM SEED IS ARE TEH BEST ATHUNRUULZ ROXXOR L337 KEWL XDXDXDXD
Edit: and fried ice cream is pretty fucking good
