bekjam Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Hi! I'm from The Netherlands and have been an anime addict waaaay back when Akira just came out. I grew up watching the old Dragonball cartoons, at that time these were only available here in Chinese(my friend got the old vhs tapes from Chinatown in Amsterdam) and I couldn't understand a thing at all, lol. I taught myself japanese when I bought a japanese 16bit nintendo game console and the games were all japanese(well duh). Started with the basics such as hiragana, katakana and later learning kanji and actual grammar. Now years later I still watch anime, my favorites being: Gintama, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Soul Land, Jujutsu Kaisen and I probably forgot some too. Nowadays I try to watch most japanese anime without subtitles. In daily life I design anime and 3d art and sell it on sites such as RedBubble. My main occupation is developing software though. Hope I'll enjoy this community! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animedragon Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Welcome aboard. Pull up a cushion or a chair if sitting on the floor isn't your thing, and make yourself at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efaardvark Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 (edited) Welcome! I also occasionally do softwareish stuff. Mostly maintaining some custom monitoring and control s/w that I wrote years ago for a NOC but occasionally something new. My current job is test & integration though so not so much new dev. Mostly gap-filling utilities/scripting and test automation these days. Edited November 25, 2022 by efaardvark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That took a lot of dedication. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
