Anyway, I’m Gilder; rambly analyzer of video games (in particular JRPG battle mechanics), aspiring linguist, and sometimes zany eccentric. I’ve been a huge fan of Initial D ever since a close friend of mine (Who’s also a member on here as well. If you recall the “I think Shinji is Bunta” thread that turned into the “Kenji (and, later on, Kenji and Sayuki) is the Last Boss” thread, and the friend that Seri mentioned talking to in it; yeah, that would be me) introduced me to it a few months back (Which really does show just how great it is as far as I’m concerned, since I was never all that interested in racing, or even cars in general, prior to watching and reading Initial D), and really am glad to have the chance to talk with even more fans of it now as well. So, what else am I interested in Anime and Manga wise? Well, a lot of things these days, but I’ve been watching/reading Shounen Action/Adventure series by far the longest. I’m a huge fan of Dragon Ball (though not so much of Z), YuYuHakusho, and Toriko (which is now probably my second favorite series ever after having finally caught all the way up on it), as well as many other series in the genre, and I also follow Naruto and Bleach out of sheer morbid curiosity if for nothing else. As for what my favorite series ever is, I’ll leave that up to everyone to guess; though I did my best to make that as completely obvious as is possible. *laughs* Look forward to talking to everyone on the forums in general in the coming months; and very much Hope I’ll be able to help make this an even more fun place to be, no matter how small and insignificant of a difference that might be. See you guys around on the forums. |

So you say you are a aspiring linguist... what sort of languages may I ask? I had tried with learning a second language but all that I've learned back in high school has gone out of the window aside from one or two sentences. |

That you're putting effort into learning Chinese is praise-worthy as it is. Mandarin? Cantonese? Both? |

Woah! Don't tell me that you are also a fan of Skies of Arcadia!?! Dude that game is so awesome! We totally need to sit down one of these days to talk about how Sega has wronged us without a sequel to such an amazing game! I hope to see you around on the forums! [ Post made via Mobile Device ] |
