I know to some degree that most forums do not recieve much replies on any given day and it is even less for people posting in the introductions threads, however I thought I would introduce myself anyway by saying that I am a freelance journalist from Sydney Australia and my pen-name is Quas Farroway.

To short my introduction, I like a fair amount of anime (such as Card Captors) but the main shows I like in the genre are those that make you think, to reflect, like 'Voices of a Distant Star', 'Patlabor' and the less well-known 'Haibane-Renmei'

I would say that of Makoto's works, 'She and Her Cat' is my favourite. My introcuction is long enough as it is to go into detail as to why - sorry about that!

Welcome! And don't worry about making a post that's "too long", many posters around here make some thesis-length writings... Wink

Thank you, Zitch and Laz. Sometimes I also tend to get long winded on topics about nothing!

Thank you, Ikaruga. I was somewhat thinking when I joined that these forums were almost abandoned, given some of the posts still read from as much as two and three years ago.

Hey Quas,

We're still here. The forum participation rises and falls a bit. We had a big spike with the Global Shinkai Day earlier this year. Seems we've fallen into a bit of a lull. We're starting planning for next years GSD so hopefully we'll get things ramped up again.

Aye, I noticed that a bit when I ws browsing the other forums last night and think it's only a matter of picking the right time to sign online. Still, since I missed the others, here is hoping I will be around long enough to see the next GSD!

Thank you, Junpei. Aye, but only for a few more weeks before I start my walk across the country Smile
