Introduction

Hi there, I'm Chris. I'm a longtime anime and manga fan and have been coming to meetups for this group for over a year now. I teach elementary school music by trade and am a huge music and movie geek as well.

What is your favorite Anime?

R.O.D. TV, Paranoia Agent, Nadesico, Kino's Journey, Dragon Half, and Full Metal Alchemist, to name a few.

Have you been to any Cons or other Anime meetings/clubs?

I go to the San Diego Comic Con every summer, which is awesome. I've also been to numerous smaller anime conventions.

How did you find out about us?

I was searching for anime in Houston and this group came up thanks to Google.

How do you get your anime: download, buy, rent, borrow, or some other way?

I'm a renter. I've always been a renter, but Netflix has eliminated the difficulty of finding a cool store that rents anime. I do buy some stuff, but I have to be really into it.

    Neon Genesis Evangelion Movie out Yesterday...

    "The Evangelion manga was an adaptation of the original anime (instead of the other way around, how it usually happens). So no, it's not closer to the manga."

    Paranormal Activity

    "The Fourth Kind is much worse than Paranormal Activity in terms, because it's not true, either. PA made it seem like it was actual footage, but none of the marketing actually claimed that it was...."

    "I always enjoyed Akira from a visual and action standpoint, but thought the storytelling was a muddled mess. Then a few years ago I checked out the manga from my library and suddenly it all made sense...."

    Oni-Con! Who, What, When?

    "Yes, that's a good point. When I went in 2006 it only took 2.5 hours to get in and then in 2007 it was a brief 90 minutes! Oni-Con has always been a paragon of good organization and line management...."
