A couple years ago I was crazy about anime but it has since died down and I barely watch it anymore, instead I prefer to read manga. It is better in quality, quantity and updates come out faster. These however are the animes/mangas that I personally LOVE. And would love to contribute to in the future

Favorite Anime/Manga:
-Bleach
-Naruto
-Full Metal Alchemist
-D. Gray Man
-Prince of Tennis
-Hitman Reborn
-Eyeshield 21
-Air Gear
-One Piece
-Tsubasa Chronicles
-Gundam Seed Destiny
-Loveless

(Not necessarily in that order. )

The opposite of love is not hate; it’s indifference."

"I'm not blessed, or merciful. I'm just me. I've got a job to do, and I do it. Listen: even as we're talking, I'm there for old and young, innocent and guilty, those who die together and those who die alone. I'm in cars and boats and planes; in hospitals and forests and abbatoirs. For some folks death is a release, and for others death is an abomination, a terrible thing. But in the end, I'm there for all of them." - said by 'Death' in Sandman; Dream Country

"- I am anti-life, the beast of judgement. I am the dark at the end of everything. The end of universes, gods, worlds... of everything.
And what will you be then, Dreamlord?
- I am hope." -Conversation between Lucifer and Dream from Sandman; Preludes & Nocturnes.

"-People think dreams aren't real just because they aren't made of matter, of particles. Dreams are real. But they are made of viewpoints, of images, of memories and puns and lost hopes."-Sandman; Preludes & Nocturnes.

Favourite Poems:

Two-part poem from "Sandman; The Kindly Ones"
All around me darkness gathers,
Fading is the sun that shone;
We must speak of other matters:
You can be me when I'm gone
Flowers gathered in the evening,
Afternoon they blossom on;
Still are withered by the evening:
You can be me when I'm gone

"Invictus" by William Earnest Henley
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of Circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of Chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find me, unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
