WELCOME TO MY ANIME WORLD

My other true passion -besides writing- is Japanese Animation ('Anime' for short), I've always enjoyed it ever since I was little, back in Mexico. I started off watching it in the early 70's and haven't stopped ever since.

I currently belong to an Anime group in my hometown and we have tons of fun at the meetings where we chat, exchange movies, series, and even J-pop (music).

We also get together twice a month to watch anime somewhere and go out to dinner afterwards.

THE BEGINING:
It all started back in 1971 when I was 4 years old and loved watching Adventure Boy Shadar, Choppy & The Princess (top left pic) in spanish, of course, and another one of my favorites was Kimba. After those three, many, many (and I mean many!) more followed. Of course I also watched other stuff from Hannah-Barbera, Walt Disney, etc. But nothing will ever compare to original Japanese Animation. Ever.
