Apparently, journals is where its at. So I've succumbed and I'm getting in on the action.

This is my first journal ever, on anything ever. So basic info first:

My name is Tom, I'm 28 and from Bristol in England. I co-run the website http://www.animetion.co.uk and have been an anime for about ten years now. Its amazing how much the anime scene has changed since then, something like AL would have been unimaginable back then. I love writing about anime and attending events meeting fellow fans (I've been to a number of event and cons, so I'm sure a few of you have met me) and I love writing about anime, manga, events, etc. I also write for the Sci-Fi UK website - http://www.scifi.co.uk/blog/author/tom_phillips_1/. I'm also into all types of music but mainly metal, Iron Maiden being one of my favourite bands.

I also love to travel, particularly the architecture of cities. I'll be travelling to Japan for a fifth time this year, as there are still places there I want to visit.

Not sure if all the above stuff is too serious for journals, I don't want my ALJ to be dull! Anyways, be cool to speak to other peoples here, please ask any questions

Yeah, Dan is my second character - after Ken.

Although in Third Strike it's Chun Li because Dan isn't in that. ;_;

Thank you for the welcome

I'm into every genre of anime, I'll watch anything from Hello Kitty to Akira. My favourites though include Kiki's Delivery Service, Ranma, DBZ, Ultimate Teacher, Golden Boy, Gungrave and many more. Because I receive review copies for my website though, I've not seen many of the newer animes as I've got so many DVDs to get through. I mainly know through the latest anime by reading the mangas of them.

For me its a close call between Dan & Ken, but I always choose Ken over Ryu. Ken is the man.

I've played 3rd Strike for aaages but it was pretty good. You got SF4 on the 360 or PS3? I've only got it on the PS3 my sign-in is Animetion_1 if you've got one and want to add.

I do indeed, but my copy is at my friend's in a temp exchange for Resident Evil 5.

Honestly though I'm near having withdrawal symptoms, I want it back. ;_;

Almost completed my custom arcade stick which I made half for SF4 and the rest of the great fighters coming out for 360 later this year.
