Moritheil まいり (Moritheil respectfully serves notice of arrival)

February 26, 2009 | by moritheil | 11 comments

Fellow otaku! I’m excited to be joining Anime Diet. So, how should I introduce myself? Blood type? Astrological signs? Measurements?

Well, to begin with, I’ve posted a list of the anime I’ve seen, and I’ll be updating it over the next few days. The inquiring mind will find all sorts of juicy and unfortunate statistics there. More importantly, I can tell you that I intend to review anime, manga, and games, as well as talk about cultural developments along the lines of Densha Otoko (Train Man) or the Lucky Star shrine invasion.

Look forward to it!

Mairi is what we say when arriving at a shrine. This is an anime shrine!

About the Author

One might be forgiven for thinking that Moritheil is a postmodern literary critic who started reviewing video games in 2001, and spent the early 2000s learning at the right hand of con staff and fansubbers. However, those rumors are spurious: Moritheil is actually a distant relative of Genghis Khan who stands poised to conquer the world via the Internet. Follow along at http://twitter.com/moritheil.

Nice list! It’s refreshing to have someone with tastes so entirely different from mine (38.3% compatibility is an all-new low, I think), since I haven’t met anyone like that in a while. Looking forward to your posts whenever you get around to them.

Arg, that picture. I remember Yumeria. One of the first shows I watched that wasn’t really brought over and highly publicized in North America. Yeck.
