*laughs* Kamiya can be VERY cute when he's trying to go for that look. Other times he's incredibly cool. Hard to believe he's 37, but as most fans will agree, he's like wine and gets better with age, LoL. And I can seriously continue talking about him forever so you better stop me while you can, haha. |

Hello, konnichiwa, bon día,
I'm new here so I will start with introducing myself. Name: Anne Sex: Female Location: Catalonia, Spain, originally from Germany Marital Status: married Age: early 30s, although one might have difficulties believing that considering my silliness Ethnicity: earthling Religion: agnostic, but not completely free of all spirituality, I would say Pets: 5 dogs, all adopted. They're not pets but family. Likes: Besides the obvious which made me register in this forum: hiking, camping, martial arts, learning more about and from different cultures, animal welfare, torturing my guitar Dislikes: ignorant, arrogant, and superficial people, abuse of the weak Favorite anime: Among them would be, in no particular order, Trigun, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Mononoke, Wolf's Rain, Fate/Zero (and almost everything written by Urobuchi), Princess Tutu Favorite manga: 20th Century Boys, Trigun Favorite seiyuu: Takahiro Sakurai. I also like Shō Hayami, Mamoru Miyano, Hikaru Midorikawa, Shinichiro Miki, Yoshimasa Hosoya, Tomokazu Seki, Satsuki Yukino ... Favorite Books: The Lord of the Rings, The Neverending Story, Nineteen Eighty-Four, Long Walk to Freedom, and I enjoy Michael Crichton and Philip K. Dick. Favorite game: I'm not really a gamer, although I can enjoy some GTA or Zelda from time to time. Favorite TV shows/Movies: Too many to name them all. Almost everything written or diredcted by Joss Whedon, James Cameron, Zhang Yimou, Jim Jarmusch, David Lynch; Babylon 5, Friday Night Lights, Breaking Bad, The Walking Dead, Six Feet Under, One flew over the Cuckoo's Nest, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Back to the Future, Crouching Tiger, hidden Dragon, Citizen Kane, Das Leben der Anderen, Children of Men ... Favorite Sites: wikitravel, TV tropes Favorite Sport (to play): Iaidō and Jōdō, Kyokushin Kaikan Favorite Music: some jazz, some classical music, Billy Joel, Burt Bacharach, Joni Mitchell, Queen, Leonard Bernstein, Yoko Kanno ... Job: translator, German teacher Hobbies: animal welfare, being outdoors, hiking, martial arts, playing music with friends (more for the fun than for the quality of it) Fun facts about Anne: - a vegetarian for 20 years now - volunteer in our local animal shelter - want to take the first JLPT next year, hopefully => done 
- my nick is German for "tiny button" which is the name of one of our dogs (the one in the picture with the catbus) Can't think of much more about myself at the moment. I am really looking forward to sharing my passion about anime with likeminded people from all over the world. Last edited by Knoepfchen on Thu Jan 02, 2014 11:34 am; edited 3 times in total |

Knoepfchen/Anne--
You do not have to answer the questions, of course; but one inquiring mind does want to know!

Hi nbahn,
thanks for welcoming me. We ended up in Spain because we wanted to experience something new after so many years in Germany. Since we knew Spain pretty well and have friends here in Catalunya, the choice was rather easy, as we were very much in love with the nature and landscape around here already. I found this website searching for anime forums, this one had the biggest appeal for me, it seemed rather mature compared to others, and since I am rather grown up myself, at least in years, it seemed to be the best fit for me. 
"Bon dia" is Catalan for "good day". Since I am living in Catalunya, I thought I should say hi in my country's language as well. |

Great, more multi language member to make me feel bad about not learning the other language I tried to learn at the beginning of the year.
Welcome to the forums Knoepfchen. |

Welcome! You're taking the JLPT? What level if you don't mind me asking? I took the N5 two weeks ago and it was fairly easy (well, it's the easiest one after all, I kind of regretted not taking the next level) but the rules and regulations are incredibly strict, to the point of hilarity.
They make such a huge emphasis on the prohibition towards cellphones, like, if it so much as vibrates during the test, you're disqualified. Even if your wristwatch emits an alarm beep is enough to get you disqualified. Looking back on it it's kind of funny, but at the moment I was sweating cold sweat praying that my phone wouldn't go off for some reason |

I mean, I did. I turned it off, turned off all the alarms, shut down the calendar, triple checked that I turned it off and I was STILL super nervous. That's how much they grind you on how you're gonna die if that shit starts ringing |

I do hope I do too. Though, looking at the forums there is nothing immediately apparent I would want to post in. :\ |
