The Blogger

The Usual Basic Info
Pen/Internet Name: Keiri

Background
» Introduced to my first Anime, Astro Boy, when I was 5. I thank my Mom for this.
» Started to properly delve into Anime when I was 8. I often tagged along with a relative a good few years older than me who would always watch a chunk of them after he finished his homework. Of course that was distracting when I hadn’t finished mine. My brain was first contaminated around that time when he watched Ranma ½.
» Shortly after that, managed to peek at his secret stash of Manga when he’s not home, and what do you know… Most of them are healthy reading materials for a teenage boy…like…basketball.
» The rest is history.

Now
» I started developing an interest in seiyuu in late 1998 through Cardcaptor Sakura (Tange Sakura), Rurouni Kenshin (Ueda Yuuji), and the Sakura Taisen games series (Yokoyama Chisa). From then, I have since begun a habit of listening to seiyuu radio shows and viewing their TV programs, and I’m presently spending far more time on them than anything else be it watching Anime, reading Manga and light novels etc.
» With that said, I would probably consider myself a seiyuu fan but I’m by no means, a seiyuu otaku and I’m certainly not knowledgeable enough to be recognized as one. Sure, I spend a lot more time on their radio and TV programs, subscribe to magazines, stalk read their blogs, and lurk in their 2channel threads, but I generally don’t make the effort of finding out updates about them so any trivia I share now could very well be last year’s news. ^^;
» I still watch Anime and read Manga/light novels but not as often as I used to in the past decade. I’m quite picky with my selections.
» The kinds of genres I prefer are comedy, slice-of-life, action, mystery, and psychological.
» Five Manga artists I hold dear to my heart:

  • Hayashiya Shizuru (All of her self-written Manga and Doujinshi series are t3h WIN to me)
  • CLAMP (Devout follower since the middle of my elementary school days)
  • Fuyukawa Motoi (Anyone who is able to make me love a character I used to hate deserves a special mention. Oh and speaking of which, his character designs are so gawd damn lovable. :3)
  • Amano Kozue (Lovely characters and scenery p0rn, ’nuff said)
  • Fujieda Miyabi (His stories always give me that sweet, warm and fuzzy feeling)

» Type of fictional character I love most: cool, easy-going female characters. Bonus + if they have the older sister quality; Bonus ++ if they are perverts.

In short, I’m just an ordinary, boring blogger I guess… I enjoy posting about stuff which interests me. I used to own 2 Anime blogs but I’ve resigned from updating them because of my hectic schedule ever since joining the working society. Now I’m only sticking to this one which I don’t update as much but that’s okay. At least we’re having fun doing the things we enjoy, right? That’s all I have to say about myself really… ^^;;;
