Well this is kinda a late intro, but Chatbot and Jonez insist, so it can't be helped :p
I'm not usually one to post threads anyways, I've always been a lurker. Also, I've only recently started getting into forums. Like as a kid, never seen the point in them.. but in my 20s, it seems like they are neat I guess. idk.. I mainly stuck with 4chan for about 8 years (from freshman year of highschool or so, till present). Anyways, I'm rambling now, so a little about myself aside from that, I like anime/manga/ other shit of that kind. Umm.. I'm an engineer (well done engineering for 4 years in highschool, and currently going to college for it), pretty good with computers, yada yada.. Idk, that's about it. My life is mundane and uninteresting, so ask questions if anything.
So yea, yoroshiku!
And just a side note, I've been teaching myself japanese on and off for about 4 years.. Still nowhere near fluent, but enough so that I can sometimes watch anime unsubbed and understand about 90% of it, and could probably pass the JLPT5 exam.. the thing that really kills me is kanji and sometimes lack of vocab.
