Anime Diet

… of a very small company.

… that doesn’t exist anymore.

Hi! I’m one of the new writers here! You may already know me as Cirno is a Genius, but you can call me CIAG. If you’ve seen my videos or follow me on Twitter, you already know I’m a bit of an oddball. Hopefully you’ll soon discover that I’m the good kind. And hopefully the good kind is the kind that makes you think. And hopefully thinking makes you happy.

I have been a full on anime fan since the early 90′s, back in a day when you received an unmarked VHS tape and a typed out script that you read along while watching. I remember VCDs and the first fansubs on VHS with burned in subtitles. I drifted in and out of the fandom part of everything over the years but kept up with a lot of the shows. Lately I average 500-1000 episodes of anime a year, depending on what kind of shows are airing. About 4 years ago I started getting into and playing Touhou and eventually rolled into a massive fan with a dedicated fan site, parody videos, and music.

I currently live in Japan, but my Japanese is very poor. My jobs here keep me busy. I  live in northern Japan, just south of Hokkaido in the Tohoku region. I do a bit of part time teaching at a Japanese High School, but may go full time next year. All in all, being in Japan has been a great experience and I may stay for more than a few years.

I hope to do reviews, commentaries, and columns on many of the current happenings in the fandom, but I also plan to re-watch and re-review a lot of anime that we have long forgotten. Not just stuff from the 80′s and 90′s, but when going through and updating my MAL I found stuff that I watched just 2 years ago and had already forgotten about. Did I forget them because they weren’t good? Or because I watch too much anime? Well, I aim to find out.

My goal is to not only do your basic reviews, updates, and stuff-in-Japan posts, but bring up some interesting conversation. I’m not your average anime fan, but it’s so hard to say that and mean it when everybody else says it too.

Anyway, I’ll shut up now and let my future articles do the talking! I’m really excited to be part of this team and hope that my contibutions become a valuable part of Anime Diet!

Believe it!
