My Background

• I first became interested in Anime when I saw
  Digimon Digital Monsters in the fall of '99. It
  had a great plot, even though it was considered
  to be a show for children. My passion did not
  take flight until I saw a series called
  Escaflowne. Although it was canceled after airing
  only 9 episodes on Fox Kids, I was hooked. It
  took almost a year, but I finally was able to
  acquire the DVD boxed version, uncut and
  unedited. That is when I found out what I had
  been missing.
