Stormy_77's Profile - MyAnimeList.net (original) (raw)

Record of the Lodoss Wars was what got me hooked on anime, thanks to my friends influence. We had an anime gang back in Singapore but I haven't been able to find a club in the States. Initially I thought anime must not be as popular but judging by MAL membership, there's a lot of fans here too, we must just be geographically spread out.

My old anime gang was a great cross section of people. There were the manga freaks, the serious otakus, the robot guys, the cutie pie clique, the fight club, the "pretty doll" lovers, the ecchi/hentai fans, the action figure painters (me) and the "must watch something to cry about" softies. Pity, they were great guys, we used to host anime viewing at different members' houses on a rotating basis, the only rules were (1) minimum disclosure of anime plotline - no spoilers, and prep in case some hentai is involved (2) pause VCR for food and bathroom breaks only during anime halftime. We would stay over and watch anime for like 12 hours straight, then go out and eat, then more anime! Sometimes I dozed off. Those were great anime weekends. I really miss my old anime gang but I think everyone's scattered to the 4 corners of the world now.

My dream is to re-start a new and social anime club/gang where I live. The house is big so there's room for people to crash over on weekends. Sadly, real life intervened and I took a super long break from anime (10 years). I am back now that I have time, but my dream of a social anime club/gang has turned into an online one instead where I now discuss anime with friends from across the world. It's not the same as RL watching in a room but it's pretty good because you meet folks from everywhere. Anime discord friends, I salute you! The owner has given us permission to link it below.

So, recently discovered Interest Stacks and am working on a few that I will update periodically (once every 3 to 6 months) as I watch more anime.

I love Gourmet Anime and am trying to watch them all but some are really hard (impossible) to find on streaming. In any case, here are the initial interest stacks for gourmet anime.
