Hello from new slightly frightened member.

Hi!
I've been watching this site for a couple months now and finally decided to join for several reasons. *Deep breath* Here goes...
1. I am a Christian, a sinner saved by God's grace and my life's purpose is to serve and obey Him. I want the anime I watch to not distract me from that and I'm hoping this website will help with that via reviews, advice, etc.
2. I REALLY like anime! The first anime I ever saw was the movie Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind (on the TV channel TCM of all places!) and I LOVED it and it remains one of my favorites. A few series's that I've seen (although I haven't finished a few of them) and liked are:
Buso Renkin
Figure 17
Inuyasha (Sorta, I liked all the "SIT!" parts.)
Get Backers
The Twelve Kingdoms
And the movies:
Nausicaa Of The Valley Of The Wind
The Place Promised In Our Early Days
Castle In The Sky
Also I'm about to get the first part of Last Exile from the library.
3.I am very grateful for the reviews posted. I have found some of them lacking details that I would have really liked to know before I watched a series. I wanted to be able to use the forum search for more in depth info on a series or movie before I watch it. Also to ask people what they personally thought was objectionable material which brings me to the question, if I have a question about anime content where do I put it or who do I ask? I don't want to start off by making people mad.
4. I want to surround myself with people that love Jesus and to encourage and be encouraged in His name (If that makes any sense) and I am hoping to make some friends here. I'm not very good at making friends in face to face situations so this may be better.
So, that's a great deal of the reasons I joined this site. I am very glad to be here and am looking forward to interacting with all of you!

P.S. I really like the aviaters (spelling?) and I was hoping to find one but I'm not sure exactly how to do it. Is there a gallery you can just go pick one from? Please forgive my internet un-savvy.....
