Guests' Web Picks
Well, where to begin....
I guess I can start with how I got into anime. A long, long time
ago in a college far, far away (namely ) I was going about my life getting my degree
in Accounting and dating a guy who happened to be into
anime. Through him I learned to love anime as well, starting
with Starblazers and Macross. Then a wondrous thing
happened, some students decided to get together and form the . I
happened to be at the very first meeting with my then boyfriend and
volunteered to be the treasurer and stayed treasurer for three
years. Through the club, my love for anime grew, and my love for
anime has long outlived my love for the boyfriend that got me into
anime. Right now I am located right outside of Boston and my
love for anime continues to grow!!
My favorite anime is Sailor Moon and I have taken my fandom to
extremes. My apartment is covered in Sailor Moon
posters, toys, anime cels, and even a life-sized Sailor Moon
mannequin from Germany. You can see what my tastes are from
checking out my web page (shameless plug!!) . (My page
is named after Miki from Marmalade Boy and Junkjungle which is where
You worked (who me? HEE HEE). Marmalade Boy also
happens to be another favorite of mine. Right now my main hobby
involving anime is collecting animation cels (mainly from Sailor
Moon). I also sell anime cels on my site (another really
good reason to visit my site!!). I think anyone that wasn't into
anime would think I was insane if they knew how much money I spent on
anime-related stuff (which included a trip to Japan just to visit the holy
land of anime!). But enough of this, now time for my
picks!!!
-
This is the best place to check up on what anime cel sites have updated
(mine is on the More American sites page). It also has a bulletin board,
which can get a bit catty at times, but is a good source for
information.
- There are plenty of sites here that are not on Cels.org's
update page but are really neat to look at!! This page is also updated
frequently.
- Although most people on this site won't sell overseas it is always neat
to check out all the cool stuff that is listed here!
- This site is great
to check up on the anime convention scene!! I want to cry when I see all
the great costumes that I don't have!!! I want to be able to make great
costumes!! (Actually right now I should probably be working on my costume
for Otakon!!)
- Otakon is such
a great convention!!! I was Jigglypuff and Queen Beryl last year (you can
see pictures on my website!)
Well I guess this ends my guest picks!! Now you know where I spend my time
surfing!!!
Anipike not being responsible for Acts of God or the vaguaries of
humans ;) this column will appear 'as and when' articles come
