Hi everyone! I've been lurking in the forums for a couple of weeks so I thought it was time i introduced myself . I was really glad to discover CAA; it's good to know that there are other christians who like anime. I hope to contribute to the community.
About a year ago I discovered anime via the wonders of youtube and amvs. Since then anime has displaced books, computer games, and tv to become my dominant form of entertainment. Ok i still read a bit and play some civ IV, but anime is definitely an addiction. I wrestled with being a christian and liking anime until I realized that it's about the content and not the medium. However, I find anime to be a very powerful medium.
It seems to be a common question so I'll list some of my favorite shows (in no particular order):
Last Exile
Voices of a Distant Star
Code Geass 1 & 2
Aria (the Animation and the Natural; all i've watched so far)
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Heroic Age
Spice and Wolf 1 & 2
I look forward to meeting everyone!
