About Me

I’m an 18 year old guy and I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada and I moved here from Taiwan when I was 3 years old. I like anime because it’s something that’s always been around my life. The culture in Taiwan, especially the cartoons and a little bit of our culture is influenced by Japan, like many other Asian countries, so it became easy to blend into the anime environment. As to why I’m here at AnimePaper and as to why I’m writing this profile, first, because I like the scans here and wallpapers. Second, I have something to do on my free time (checking new forum topics, new scans etc.). Third to start building my own wallpapers in the future and maybe learn a few things here. My name on AnimePaper is the name I use for many of my accounts on my Internet and I first used it as a name for my first person shooter, as a metaphor for a sniper. So that’s all there is to my name and I’m just lazy to create a new name for all my accounts out there. I’m mostly really quiet and calm, that’s my personality. I like computers, pretty much everything about them except for networking (and I blame my high school IT teacher for that hate). Right now, I’m mostly doing animation, movies, a bit of audio mixing here and there, and always love messing around with games. I don’t just play the games but I try to get something out of them. For my first person shooter games I build maps for single player and multiplayer. I have a Logitech G25 which I love player racing games, particularly PC racing simulators. I used to like arcade racing games like the Need for Speed series but once I got into more serious and realistic racing those games seemed so immature to me. In short, if there’s anything useful to learn, I try to absorb it. I’m currently attending university and learning interactive arts and technology. The animes I watch are usually those talked about on anime blogs. If you ask me which my favorite anime is, Initial D is my first thought. I love dramatic animes like Air and Kanon, also humorous, easy-going animes like Lucky Star and Azumanga Daioh without any dense, confusing plots. I prefer to watch realistic action animes as opposed to extreme sci-fi stuff. Some unrealism is welcome, but if it gets extremely unrealistic then I tend to start to hate it like I did with Neon Genesis Evangelion (sorry for the fans of NGE). I mostly watch fansubbed animes and detest dubbed animes for various, sometimes personal reasons.
