Details
Jeremy also lives in the Los Angeles area. He was first introduced to anime, along with a large majority of 80’s kids, with heavily edited versions of Mazinger Z (aka Tranzor Z in the US), GoLion (aka Voltron) and Macross (aka Robotech) while growing up in Flint, Michigan. He was reintroduced to anime in the early 90’s with shows like Project A-Ko, Ranma 1/2 and Tenchi Muyo by a high school friends in Tennessee. Since then his tastes have evolved into a fairly eclectic mix of anime with a soft-spot for underdog shonen stories, psychological/cyber-punk stories and select love comedies. Some of his favorite animes include (but are in no way are limited to): Urusei Yatsura, Serial Experiments Lain, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Kodomo no Omocha, Bleach and Karin. In the year 2000, Jeremy moved to Los Angeles partially hoping to find a mecca of anime fandom and anime communities with which to get involved. While he found more anime fans and anime shops he found that the communities were scarce and limited to college, high school and private clubs. Wanting to have a place to belong with others anime fans he ultimately found it necessary to start a community for local So-Cal Otakus. With the help of some friends from a non-traditional community of believers called Mosaic, Jeremy founded Anime Souffle: A Place for Tasty Anime Fun in May of 2005. It was at an Anime Souffle meeting where he met Michael Huang and eventually persuaded him to be a Co-Organizer. It was through this relationship that Jeremy was first invited to join as a guest co-host for Scattered Cells Podcast episode #6 in February of 2007 and since then has become a regular part of the Anime Diet crew. His love of anime is shared with with his lovely wife Heather (whom he introduced to anime). When he is not watching, talking about or organizing a club for fans of anime he helps corrupt …errr… mold young minds in the Los Angeles Unqualified …ahem…Unified School System. His future goal is to branch Anime Souffle (or a variant thereof) into Japan in order to provide a place for Otakus to have greater freedom of expression and personal growth both overseas and here in the United States.
