Hello everyone! Ahhhh its nice to find a oldschool anime forum like this. I am from the UK! I have been a anime fan since the early 2000's and have been delighted to see anime getting more popular and accessible these days. I am in my late 20's, engaged and I am a cosplayer too! I love making my own costumes and attending conventions. Other than that I have been getting back into video games. I also love long walks, eating out, cats (well, animals in general), handicrafts, a bit of pro wrestling and I am also a little bit into fashion.

Hello, fellow Brit! I too am a fan of cats. We only have 3 now but at one point had 6 This is Guinness and Biscuit. Hope to see you around!

Hello there, welcome to AF! Have fun and enjoy your stay. ...oh and here's a cat gif... because... why not

I know a bit of the language, and I like a lot of the food (and the presentation). Anime wouldn't be enough for me either, but add in Akihabara where there's video games, manga, and all sorts of electronics (did I mention that I'm also an EE?) as well as anime and cosplay.... That's hard for me to say no to. I mean, we don't even have Radio Shack over here in the states anymore.

Welcome to the forums, hope you enjoy it here Since you like cats I would highly recommend My Roommate is a Cat https://myanimelist.net/anime/38145/Doukyonin_wa_Hiza_Tokidoki_Atama_no_Ue?q=My roomm

Nice a fellow cat lover and welcome to AF hope we can be friends and enjoy it here

Thanks guys ^^ Everyone is so nice! Heres Dexter!

Hi there! The more cat fans the better!

Isn't doing funny pranks funny , share some pranks you have played on others and maybe even some pranks other played on you? was it funny? For me i remember that i would prank my brother all the time

Recently I gave my hubby some payback pudding with whipped cream and sprinkles (only it wasn't pudding, it was actually mayonnaise and mustard) lol

I would love to visit there for a few weeks as a holiday but I dont see myself wanting to move there. I would love to learn the language, I really like the meals, but my love of anime really isn't enough for me to move simply because my family, friends and life in general is here where I am now. I love travel but I'm prone to homesickness.

I cosplay at conventions. I love having ongoing projects that I can work on on and off. I am happiest when I have things to look forward to and cosplay is perfect because there is a lot to learn and its part of the process of being excited for an upcoming event. It's really nice portraying my favourite characters and showing off what I love; anime/games, the characters and making things.

For the trivial pursuit fans out there... I just realized. That computer in the background behind Yukimura's head? The desktop looks a lot like Canonical's Unity desktop that came with Ubuntu's linux (among others) up until ca. 16.04. Ubuntu installs > 16 have switched to gnome by default, but Unity was my desktop for several years before they made the change so it was pretty obvious what the animators were basing their desktop on once I noticed. Compare... to.. (latter from wikipedia ) The background wallpaper is a different color, but if you look at the icons in the dock down the left side of the screen they bear a strong resemblance to your typical gnome user's dock. Especially the"swirly" (dash launcher) icon in the upper left corner of the screen is a giveaway. Even now Ubuntu is still using that 3-lobed circle thingy prominently in their logo. The other icons look very much like (now) LibreOffice's icons for their suite of spreadsheet, text editor, drawing, and presentation programs that also typically get installed by default on Ubuntu linux. Sorry, I just had to mention this once I noticed. Carry on...

what goes up, but never goes down?
