Well hey, nice to meet you. If you've come to this page, you already know my name — hopefully.

Background/Intro

It's been quite a while since I've been reading around here. I just happened to be introduced to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, by my friend who showed it to me as an manga. So, I became interested and found out it was a light novel adaptation, unlike the majority of anime. And so, it would be the first light novel that I would read. I used to think that anime adaptations were all from manga, but instead I found out that LNs were also pretty popular. That's how I ended up here.

Now, as for why I've decided to be an editor. The community here at BT has done quite a bit for readers. I didn't, and still don't, know Japanese to a native extent. I then thought about a way that I could give back to the community. I thought, "Since I've been in an English speaking country all of my life, why not be an editor?" That's how I came to be an editor here. There's a possibility of myself becoming a translator in the future.

I've been roaming around in LNs,VNs,manga, and anime for some time. I decided to take a break from anime since there wasn't really anything that interested me for a while (I was dealing with school and living life). It wasn't until this year around the end of my school year before the beginning of summer, that I came back. And man/woman, I'm really glad that I came back this year.

If I'm active, just post something on my talk page. If it's more convenient for you to PM me via the forum, then go ahead.

If for whatever reason you can't do the above, feel free to e-mail me at [email protected].

I'm sorry if I can't respond to your e-mails on time; I check this e-mail account ~5 times a week. Those times might not be spread throughout the week and might end up in a span of 1-3 days. Once again, I'm sorry if I can't respond to you right away. I'll do my best in the future.

Sometimes I'm on a vacation/a place without internet, so that'd be another reason why I wouldn't answer.

Myself in General

Life

Me Again

Study. Read Manga. Read LNs. Reading VNs. Watch Anime. Aikido (合気道). Piano. Guitar. Living life. That right there pretty much summarizes my life. Anyways, I've runs for 10-11 years and played the Guitar for 4 year. Running is one of those sports that everyone knows, does not require teamwork, won't break any bones and work up a good sweat. Good stuff. The Saxsophone, the Violin and the piano: 3 of the most versatile and beautiful instruments that come to mind. I guess the vocal cords also count. At first they sound horrible, but after years of refinement they are beautiful. I've just started aikido recently, and I find it pretty fun. Fight if you've got no option, but run whenever you can.

Words of Whatever You Want To Call Them

We live to serve each other, not to have others serve us. As JFK once said, "Ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country." Problems revolving around poor countries (corruption and no education), marriages (one expecting the other to serve his/herself), and whatever you can think of revolve around this.

Life has its ups and downs. Whenever you're depressed — always know this: things will get better, if you work towards it. I've been through quite a few periods of depression, and anger; I've learned that life has its ups and downs. Only you can really help yourself in these situations. Heaven or Hell is wherever you stand; the choice is yours. You don't have to wait for death to take you for you to be there.

Wealth comes in many different forms: kindness and compassion are 2. What is the point of having money if you can't spend it, just watch it, or don't have great health. Make do with what you've got and keep moving forward.

If the string is too loose, it won't make any noise. If the string is to tight, it will snap.

I know it's hard to control your rage, but think of the aftermath of your actions before acting.

Media

Manga/LNs/VNs/Anime/Games

Manga

Best current, action-oriented manga that I can think of right now is Akame ga Kiru!. It's similar to Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood, but it doesn't have the alchemy and has a harem.

Light Novel(s)

High School DxD. One of a kind.

Visual Novel(s)

Majikoi is one of the few that I've watched (it's both a VN and an anime). Ever 17: The Out of Infinity was pretty good. Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life was a tearjerker.

Anime

There are a lot out there, so I can't think of one instantly. I prefer romance, mech, and comedy. A good story would also be great.

Games

I stopped playing as of this year. I don't know if I'll ever go back. I used to play DotA. Life is great, I'm busy, and there are so many other things that I could be doing (such as editing here on BT). I also have to study and enjoy life and learn.

Music

I've liked jpop starting as of this year. I listen to a lot of VN OP's and anime OPs and EDs; I used to think that all the anime OPs and EDs were just junk. I'm a violinist, so I do like classical music in general.

Check out some headphone forums. I think the community there is pretty chill overall, but they're not as direct and might take a while to respond if you're asking question about new headphones/comparisons. I advise against shelling out $2-300 on a pair of cans if you haven't done research. A lot of the prices from all companies are bumped up because of a certain company (starts with a "b"), so you'll have to really research to find bang-for-buck models.
