 Re: What if anything at all makes you a little or a lot nerdy!
I used to be kinda into anime, thanks to my dorky boyfriend. I was hooked on Bleach for the longest time and he used to drag my ass to Anime Club back in high school. Too many squealing, giggly fangirls drooling over the Naruto/Sasuke kiss.

 Re: What if anything at all makes you a little or a lot nerdy!
The only anime I ever really watched was Inuyasha cuz a friend told me I would like it, but I kept missing episodes since it was on so late. I'll have to look into watching it again from the beginning cuz I really liked it.

You guys really need to watch some of the countless great and less generic anime.

Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal 4. FLCL 5. Samurai Champloo 6. Gurren Lagann 7. Fullmetal Alchemist / Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood 8. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 9. Death Note 10. Beck Samurai X: Trust & Betrayal might get moved down soon. I've heard great things about Clannad After Story, so I'll have to check that out. Although my suggestion is usually to watch the anime on my list starting with #1 and going down, my suggestion on this forum will be to start with Beck, since I know you all love good music, and that's exactly what Beck is about.

FLCL was so weird! I watched a few episodes and it had my "wtf?" meter off the charts.

Great, I'm glad I could help!
Yeah, FLCL is extremely weird, which makes it awesome. It's completely hilarious and tons of fun!

It's embarrassing to admit, but I like infomercials. I always want to buy whatever they are trying to sell

 Re: What if anything at all makes you a little or a lot nerdy!
Kestrel, and anyone, look up "When They Cry" to be greatly confused. Warning: Gory. But good IMO.
Yay DeathNote!!! I cosplayed as L once, and won!

 Re: What if anything at all makes you a little or a lot nerdy!
I had some really nerdy friends who were into LARPing. They tried to get me in on it but I had to draw a line somewhere, and that was it.

 Re: What if anything at all makes you a little or a lot nerdy!
Oh dear  I'd be too tempted to be like "You didn't hurt me with that magic fireball, I have the ring of constant hydration that I won from the Aqua-Warlord's coliseum!"  I'd cheat.

These are the same friends who tried to drag me to MetroCon dressed up as Yuna from FFX. Uhh, yeah no.

 Re: What if anything at all makes you a little or a lot nerdy!
Yeah, the story seems like it would be good, if it were possible to understand. No spoilers, but be warned: First episode: Uhhh... okay... kinda slow... oh crap, creepy... Next few: Still slow, wait, what the crap? Fifth or sixth (I think): Oh CRAP!!! WTF MAN!?!?!? But... is this the last episode? Next episode: Wait, wtf just happened? HUH? (Repeat process multiple times for the entire first season)
Trust me, you WON'T understand it. Period.
But I definitely recommend it!
