Random Curiosity

Mou daijoubu, nazete? Watashi ga kita! For those of you who don't know me yet, you can call me Stars. After following RandomC's posts for years and years, I'm joining the RC crew as a shiny new writer. Since I'm going to be taking my position here very seriously, it's important to know that I am fluent in Vine, anime, and movie references. Please feel free to converse with me in my native language at any time. It's an honor to be here among such a talented group of people and I'm absolutely thrilled to be a part of what makes RandomC so amazing.My exposure to anime started in the 90's with Sailor Moon, but really hit its stride with Inuyasha, Dragonball Z, and Naruto in middle school. At first I was pretty adverse to watching them, but a friend of mine had a Sesshomaru plushie in her room that stole my heart, as well as copies of Inuyasha: Affections Touching Across Time and Inuyasha: Swords of an Honorable Ruler, which combined were more than enough to set me on my current path. Later on, thanks in no small part to RC's recommendations, I expanded from the shonen genre and magical girls to include science fiction and mysteries like Steins;Gate, or the works of Gen Urobuchi, namely Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica and Psycho-Pass.

MissSimplice here, and as of this season, I'll be joining the team of writers at RandomC. In fact, I was just telling the other writers how I have to pinch myself once in a while to remind myself that yes, this is reality. I'm going to go ahead and be clich: words cannot describe how happy this makes me. But as the proper millennial I am, here's a gif describing how I've felt since the day Stilts asked me to join the roster. I've watched a horrendous amount of anime and to this day, I haven't been able to keep track. My first memory is of sitting in my aunt's 80's-looking basement with my older cousins watching Sailor Moon's colours pop and flash across the screen, which then evolved to late night Inuyasha and Dragon Ball episodes. I never knew what was going on but I loved it all the same. I specifically remember a moment when I blinked and my eyes teared bloody murder because I hadn't blinked for some time. Keep in mind I was like...four or five.
