That really wouldn't take much, you know. To be honest, I didn't really become an anime fan until the late 1990s, when I was introduced to Miyazaki's work via Castle in the Sky and Kiki's Delivery Service; I was also shown clips of Gunsmith Cats and Dragon Half. The kids and I consumed anime voraciously from then until we got involved with Anime Detour in 2003, and after that there was just no damn time. I haven't really kept up with the medium since Haruhi-ism swept though fandom, although friends of mine have gone all gaga (or maybe even [Lady] Gaga) over Axis Powers: Hetalia. The girls do love them some yaoi, don't they? About the only anime I've watched in the last couple of years has been Trigun, Yawara! and, um...I think I rewatched some Azumanga Daioh and APCCG Nuku^2 last year. I can't think why else the cases would be on my nightstand.

This and my complete disinterest in cosplay made my involvement in launching, much less chairing, one of the larger fan-run anime conventions in the Upper Midwest pretty ironic by some folks' lights.
