Animated. A friend of mine recently gave me a blinkie that proclaims my anime addiction. While I thought the gesture was very sweet, and I'm flattered that people think of me in their spare time, I don't think that I classify as a true anime addict. For one thing, I really only care about a few anime series: Naruto and Avatar come to mind as two I'll readily watch if I'm in the mood. As far as animation in general, my current favorite series is not even anime at all, it's The Boondocks, which I'd watch regularly if the Cartoon Network showed it on any consistent basis. Back in the day, I was watched Daria, The Maxx, Tick and Aeon Flux, and as a kid my favorite by far was Voltron. As far as full-length anime movies, my knowledge is limited to such pop favorites as Princess Mononoke. Hardly a connoisseur's top choice. When it comes to comics and graphic novels, I'm much more likely to get into Gloomcookie (see blogroll link) or The Sandman than anything remotely anime. Just thought I'd put that out there. :) posted by hilary at 1:43 PM |

Reason #562 that..nevermind.
Sorry :( I had just seen several of them either on your blog or avatar.
Perhaps in the future, it would best not to assume anyone as an "addict" of anything. Though blinkies are just something fun and when I saw it I thought of you.
oh mary, there's no reason to be sorry for anything. like i said, i was very flattered that you thought of me. the blinkie just prompted me to think about what animation i like, so i thought i'd post about it. :)
Okay, Glad we all know now! That's what life is all about right? Learning something new every day!
Oh you did NOT just say you liked the Sandman. I've read it (ie the entire series) problably 1000 times, finding something new each and every time. It's incredible.
And miyazaki may be mainstream but he's pretty much the cream of the crop hun.
