Some sort of awkward introduction! - 91.8 The Fan

Tyto is entirely acceptable as a name for all practical purposes. The "Ty-" is pronounced Tue, like in Tuesday, the "-to" ought to be self-explanatory. That is all you're going to get for free, and besides, I rather like hiding behind various aliases: it has a certain air of mystery. (also a certain air of paranoid neurosis)

But enough about my name, I'm here for anime, as are the rest of you, I'd assume, so on to that subject! I'm mostly your typical anime/manga fan, so I suppose there's not actually too much to be said there. I'll read most anything for 3 to 5 chapters, and anything that doesn't outright annoy or bore me as far as 9 or 10 chapters. When I say most anything, I mean just about anything, regardless of art style, genre, design, etc... Although inevitably poor and/or inconsistent art design bothers me more than anything else. I can't even begin to list everything I've ever read, let alone be bothered to try and rank them by "favorites", so what I'll do is list what ongoing serializations I'm keeping up with:

Of course I keep up with the Big 3, whether it can be said I still "like" any of them at this point is debatable, but the Big 3 aside, the other titles I keep up with in the Weekly Shounen JUMP are Bakuman and Psyren. Keeping on the subject of JUMP I also read Bartender in Super JUMP; D.Gray-man, Embalming, ULTIMO, and Shiki in JUMP SQ; Liar Game, Zetman, and Gantz in Weekly Young JUMP. Business JUMP seriously needs a team of scanners and translators, because I refuse to believe that Battle Angel Alita and One Outs could have been the ONLY good titles they've ever had.

Next big title would probably be Fairy Tail in Kodansha's Weekly Shounen Magazine, which leads me to Monster Hunter Orage and Buster Keel in Kodansha's Monthly Rival; Billy Bat, Vagabond, and Hataraki Man in Weekly Morning. Vinland Saga and Mysterious Girlfriend X in Afternoon; and sadly I read nothing out of Kodansha's Evening

Soul Eater and Full Metal Alchemist in the Monthly Shounen Gangan; Jackals and Mangaka-san to Assistant-san to, in Young Gangan; Yandere Kanojo, Prunus Girl, and Seto no Hanayome in Gangan Joker.

Deadman Wonderland and Guyver, in Shounen Ace, and MPD Psycho which I believe is now running in Young Ace.

Franken Fran and Change 123 in Gahosha's Champion Red; No Bra and Gamble Fish in the Weekly Champion; Lucifer & Biscuit Hammer in Young King OURS; and AIKI in Gekkan Young King which seriously needs a scanner on because some of those untouched titles look like they'd be a good read.

I swear this list seemed smaller, not to mention much more organized, in my head...

Anyhow, anime and manga aside, I'm a little bit of a relapsing tokusatsu fan: I've been slowly revisiting all I've missed around the start of the Heisei era. W is proving interesting, although a bit wonky and inconsistent in its mood.

I suppose it's worth mentioning I like JRPGs, although I can't say I play as many or as often as I used to when I was younger. I suppose the last things I played were Nostalgia for the DS, Pokemon Heart Gold, Suikoden: Tier Kreis, and Shinmegami Tensei: Devil Summoner for the PS2. Looking forward to 3D Dot Game Heroes on the PS3 later this month and finally getting a hold of Monster Rancher DS after being denied Monster Farm DS and made to wait for MF2 for 2 years. I'm still incredibly miffed about there being absolutely no international release plans for Monster Farm Online.

I guess the only thing else I have left to say is that I'm sort of a Bleach conspiracy theorist... You can go ahead and interpret that however you like, because I won't explain it.

And so ends my needlessly cluttered looking introduction! Hooray! The awkward, public, digital, self-prostration ritual is compete!
