Heres one anime lover right here and the ripe old age of 18. Being a poor college student, I don't have the money to buy a lot of anime.

My favorite animes are Eva, Cowboy Bebop, G Gundam, and GTO.

I never really got into anime besides a few notable exceptions (princess mononoke, spirited away and neon genesis). Whats the big draw?

big draw = outstanding fantasy and science fiction stories, better writing than usual for either genre

Between consigning animation to children's stories and consigning sci-fi and fantasy to sub-par writers and cheesy effects, the US doesn't really have an equivalent of anime. The closest we can get is Star Wars, which was heavily influenced by Japan (ie Kurosawa).

Geez, what does age have to do with it.

Hi my name is John and I'm a...... oh never mind.


Seriously though, I like anime simply because it breaks free from the mold set by american cartoons. I also feel it can be more expressive than live-action at times.

I would say that I am a lover of Anime on DVD. I have roughly 580 DVDs, where only about 100 are regular movies. Everything else is either an Anime movie or series. It's amazing how much comes out and how much I still haven't seen. I also like to read Manga.

To answer your other question, I'm 23.

I'm 19 and a huge fan of anime,been watching it since 6th grade. Here are some of my favs:

Sword of the Berzerk
Fist of the North Star
Final Fantasy(I've seen it and it's really good)
Dragon Ball/Z(Japanese version)
Legend of Lenear(sp?)(Well worth watching)
Akira
Ninja Scoll
Trigun
Vampire Hunter D
Hellsing
Spriggan

Oh a side note, don't see the AOF anime it sucks. They start of looking for a $500 cat to make paments on the dojo. Robert is dressed in a disco suit for part of it. Robert's hair is brown and Ryo's is black for some reason. The weirdest part is thing in it is Todo being the police chief.

I'm yet another Anime fan.
I tend to buy 4-6 DVD's a month.
I'd watch more but getting the stuff imported from America takes ages and can be a bit pricey (horray for import tax <img src="graemlins/mad2.gif" border="0" alt="[Mad 2]" /> )
Currently watching:
Berserk
Excel Saga
Dai-Guard
Hyper Police
Ex-driver (even though it sucks)

Love it, age: 22

Loved it from the first series I ever saw (some kind of mecha series, never saw it again).

Favourites:

Berserk, El-Hazard, Giant Robo, Boogiepop phantom, Irresponsible Captain Tylor and more.

I tend to like older series better then the new ones. I get most of my stuff on svcd (yeah, I know) and buy R2 when decent series are released on it.
