i love anime. i find myself drawing sometimes, but i'm never really happy when i finish it. i got a book guiding me as well, but it isn't really a good one. the writer is american and it misses that little bit that makes anime so special. especially the eyes are badly done in his book.
i try to collect everything that's got something to do with anime. but there aren't that much DVD's around here, so tough luck for me. i'm currently watching bleach, which i really love. my goodness, that show's great.
