Hello everyone!

Nice to meet you all. I'm a 28 year old guy, married, and have a lovely baby girl. I came across CAA while looking through anime threads over at the Catholic Answers Forum (I'm a Catholic), and thought I'd join up. I lurk and post a little bit on the Anime News Network, but the crowd there isn't really my type.

I've been a fairly steady anime fan for about 11 years, starting in high school and continuing through on to college, where I was involved in an anime club for two years. Speaking of college, I have a bachelor's degree in the Comparative Study of Religion (i.e. Religious History), with minors in History, Jewish Cultural Studies, and Computer Science (I changed majors a few times :hits_self ). I put all of that good, solid education to work as a stay-at-home dad.

Some of my favorite shows include:
Kimagure Orange Road
Mobile Suit Gundam (the original)
Dragon Ball (and Z and GT!)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (though I guess that's a no-no to discuss here :o )
Hunter x Hunter
Vision of Escaflowne

I have an ever burgeoning collection of anime media (DVD, VHS, LD, BD), and I've also recently picked up my where my college studies of the Japanese language left off. Boy am I rusty!!

I look forward to getting to know the members here and sharing with our joint passions of anime together :).

Cheers!
Jonathan

Hey, nice to meet you!

If you have any questions, feel free to bite, we don't bite... for the most part :)
And this I pray, that your love would abound still, more and more with real knowledge and all discernment. Be prepared to preach the gospel at a moment's notice. Do you know the gospel well enough to do so yourself? Be ready.

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside quiet waters. He restores my soul; He guides me in paths of righteousness For His name's sake. Even though I walk though the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Thou dost prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; Thou hast anointed my head with oil; My cup overflows. Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Psalm 23

You've seen Mobile Suit Gundam? How is it? It's on my (extremely long) list of shows to watch.

Welcome to CAA, EpicLotus! This is a nice place to hang out.

For some reason, I'm kind of surprised that Catholic Answers HAS anime threads. I guess the only time I've browsed there is when I was looking at their moral theology discussions.

Thanks everyone!

Otaku Jordan: Mobile Suit Gundam is a very interesting show. The pacing can be a bit slow at times, and you have to be okay with the limits of 70's animation techniques, but the story is very good. There are a lot of interweaving sub-plots, and it builds to a rather satisfying conclusion. Also, this show has some of the best character development I've seen in an anime, especially if you can keep in mind that most of the main characters are between ages 15-19. The show is a classic for very good reason :).

rockbaby: Jelly babies? That sounds like a reference to Doctor Who... Either way, I'd love one!

Neane: I hope you enjoy Orange Road! My wife and I both loved the series, and it's probably in my top 5 anime of all time. Wonderful story.

Hurro! Wercome EpicRotus!
"And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, among whom also we all once conducted ourselves in the lusts of our flesh, fulfilling the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, just as the others.
But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:1-7
