Well I see we have some new members here now. So welcome to ANN Shiraishi-san, Skye Valiquentarill, and Kuyukly. Think of this place as a sanitarium of sorts. Here you can talk to your imaginary anime friends like the rest of us and not be judged....or maybe that's just me. Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop As new members though you do get something to help make your stay more enjoyable. So here are your mystery welcome bags of goodies. ::hands them each a brown paper bag:: Inside you lucky guys will find some shells from various nuts, a handful of various tooth brushes (just the brush parts though, no handles), various size pieces of aluminum foil, and the cores from 3 types of apples (just the cores). Hopefully you'll have a fun time enjoying these wonderful gifts, and while you do don't forget these words of wisdom; Federal Government Moto:If you drive a car we'll tax the street, If you try to sit we'll tax your seat, If you get too cold we'll tax the heat, and If you take a walk we'll tax your feet

I watch people late at night and stalk them......I mean it was a lucky guess heh....yea..... Anime smallmouth + sweatdrop

As for dubs, there are indeed a fair share of dubs fans here. There are of course die hard sub fans but there's just as many of us dub enthusiasts as well. You might wanna check out this thread here for a brief look at what some posters think are good dubs. Might find something new to try out. Might wanna also check out some of the official recommendation threads (most are on page 2 of the anime section) for new titles as to try as well.

Seeing as how we have so more new members, huuzzaaahhhh, I wanna send a big welcome to Hydrith, LightsGirl138, and abominaSion. So welcome to ANN you guys. Think of us as your anime dealer giving you the anime news fix you so desperately crave hehe. As new members though you also get your very own mystery welcome bag of goodies. ::hands them a brown paper bag:: You 3 lucky souls are each the proud owners of a handful of twist ties from the supermarket, a simple square cardboard bar coaster I found laying around, some really old and brittle brown rice from the back of a friend's refrigerator, and some pieces of shredded snake skin i found. I hope you enjoy these fine treasures and don't forget; The gene pool could use a little chlorine.

Great. Can always use more twist ties. I've got enough cables spread around my room that these ties will go to good use Very Happy Plus the ones behind my computer are getting ugly again....god knows that it's only liable to get worse here soon Wink

Oh, I found some chlorine tablets, but be careful with them. Don't touch them directly with you fingers, since they can hurt your fingers if you aren't careful. Might make pressing the Skip Chapter button on your DVD remote a little difficult Very Happy

BTW: Thanks for the welcome. I've been using ANN for gathering intelligence on purchases I've been making for a couple of years now, but only recently found my way into the forums.
