At one point in my life, I thought anime would not interest me at all but all of that changed for me a few months back. It all started in december when I got a myspace friend request by a woman who calls herself Sir Integra Masterson. I checked out her page and accepted her friend request. We became good friend pretty quickly. In one myspace blog,I wrote that I enjoyed the movie Van Helsing. Integra send a comment to me saying that I should watch a anime called Hellsing. I enventually watched that show and I really liked it. I bought all 13 episodes of that anime. She also told me about Hellsing Ultimate, which is based more on the original manga than the anime was. I bought and watched the 1st volumes of it. It rocked.

Volume 3 of Hellsing Ultimate is not out yet but I was starting to get hooked on anime. I post a message at another forum asking for suggestions. I got a few good suggestions. I also read about a anime show called Ergo Proxy. The plot sounded interesting. It is set in a future where humans and androids ( in the show, they are called autoreivs) living in a dome city called Romdo. The world outside Romdo is a desolate wasteland. The show centers around two main characters, Vincent Law ( a immigrant trying to be a fellow citzen in Romdo) and Re-l Mayer( a female dectective of Romdo's Intelligence Bureau). Re-l starts to investigate a case involving a mysterious creatureknown as a Proxy. Vincent is somehow connected to the case. I bought the 1st 8 episodes of this show and It is wicked cool. I am now a fan of Ergo Proxy.

I still have to check out the other anime that was suggested to me by Integra and the forum I asked for suggestions from. The interesting thing is that Integra hasn't heard of Ergo Proxy. I sent her a email giving her the info on it. If anyone here has any anime suggestions for me, PM them to me and I might check them out also. I am definitely going to write reviews about Hellsing and Ergo Proxy here. I have also posted in the animation board here. That's my story on how I became a fan of anime.
