Let the fannishness begin.
While I've been away, I've acquired several new fandoms.
1. Samurai Champloo - I got the DVD for Christmas, and even though I never thought I'd like the anachronistic anime which mixes ancient Japan and hip-hop (wtf?), I quite enjoyed this series. =) Squee-o-meter: Liked, but not involved in fandom.
2. Final Fantasy X - I honestly have no idea how I got into this one. I've never played any of the games. o_o A friend mentioned how much she liked it, I wiki'd it and liked the story (aww, Tidus/Yuna!), and I found AMVs and cutscenes and liked the graphics. Squee-o-meter: I watched the entire walkthrough of FFX on YouTube (okay, okay, and FFX2, I admit it, alright?!), discussed it with Alex and Nick and have promised to play it with them someday, and even read fanfiction. @_@ But the obsessive phase has passed. -_-;
3. Death Note - Canadian Cousin Greg, who likes to share manga/anime with me, burned the Deathnote movies for me, but knowing how different those adaptations could be, I decided to watch the anime first. It was very intelligent, intense, thought-provoking, and pretty much awesome. Squee-o-meter: I can see what all the fuss is about now, but more of a one-time experience for me. Not involved in fandom, but will watch the movies eventually.
4. Ouran High School Host Club - THE BIGGIE. Amanda recommended it to me once, and I finally gave it a try. LOVED since the first episode and continued to love until the very last! It is by far the funniest anime show I've ever watched! It is a brilliant parody of "girly" manga/anime while still being as cute and romantic as the stuff it makes fun of. I love every character and every story. <3 Squee-o-meter: Way into this fandom right now. Especially for Ootori "The Cool Type" Kyouya, whom I worship *points to icon*. He is the reason I finally sat down and wrote my first fanfiction. (No, you can't read it! ><) *sigh* Kyouya... He almost needs his own category. XD
