Animania :D

So :-?... what would you call a 20+ guy sitting glued to his comp/TV set for hours long watching nothing but animated TV series..... Dude, Grow up!! Have some life !!!
Its fun to discuss those old days but come on who really would watch more than 100 episodes of a silly anime and wait desperately for the next week just to see another ... As if this was just not enough... those TV series are in JAPANESE!!! ...so all that takes in understanding the entire thing is a constant read through the subtitles crawling below. Also in a place like ours with robust LAN connections, Its never late for you to get the fever.... entire collection of the series is just a click away !!

This is what i always thought and declared people who watched animes as crazy and the ones with nothing better to do... Makes sense isnt it !! ...obviously i am expecting that u are not one of those freaks just described above. With all those preconceived ideas and prejudice I never touched any of those more than 200 GB collection (i may be grossly underestimating) until recently :D.

Ya, I mean breaks between exams are that extra cunning that force you to try every bit you would never have in your otherwise wise times. So, the inevitable happened with the curiosity once curbed deep inside and I managed to download a few episodes and give a try... for the more knowledgeable it was nothing but NARUTO vs GAARA episode !!
What else then .... there was no looking back... my instincts kicked so hard that I downloaded each and every episode from the start and finished the set of around 100 episodes in a weeks time.... it started with the anime serving as a break between the studying part and then it just got reversed now it was studies in breaks :D... and now its not just "Naruto" but even "Bleach" and "Avatar" that I long for :P

Now that I have accomplished a level in the circles.... I went a step ahead by browsing forums that discuss these animes and predict the future of its characters and the stories .... not to mention there exist manga comic pdfs that are released simultaneously and that the TV series lags behind ... so you can get hold on the future happenings in a more reading fashion :P ... well i am still to get hooked to this and I prefer to stick to the Idiot box and be faithful to is as it was the one that made the boring exam life a hell interesting :D.

A different perspective to the whole thing is that I really admire the way the authors have created so many distinct characters with each one having a unique personality and also the artwork that goes in making them come alive simply takes my breath away :D... no wonder i myself had some futile attempts at learning how to sketch manga... and now the best I ever made looks so bland in front of these master creations.
