I’m a person who is in a constant state of discovering and redefining myself. No, really. Look, I went to a specialized high school with a concentration in pre-medicine. However, my undergraduate study was in electrical engineering, at which time I also held a part-time job doing C++ programming. Then I went on to graduate study in mathematics, and now I’m working toward an MFA in creating writing. In a couple of years, maybe I’ll try pulling off an Ocean’s Eleven—I’m already planning to practice it to perfection in Grand Theft Auto. 
Anime has always been my prime entertainment source. My first anime was the awesome NGE, but I didn’t really get into it until Rurouni Kenshin and Vision of Escaflowne. After that, some of my all-time favorites have been Hunter X Hunter, Hikaru no Go, Fullmetal Alchemist, and Mai Hime (except the ending).
Live-action series—mostly Japanese and occasionally Korean—offer me more emotional impact than anime. My first dorama was Yamato Nadeshiko starring the enchanting Nanako Matsushima. Since then, some of my favorites have been 1 Litre of Tears (more tissues please *sob*), Jyoou no Kyoushitsu, Full House, and Proposal Daisakusen.
Manga, on the other hand, has never offered me the same level of excitement as anime. When I do turn to manga, it is because either the corresponding anime has stopped—as in the case of Hikaru no Go—or because I couldn’t wait for the anime to catch up to the manga—as in the case of Bleach. Otherwise, I would just rather wait for the anime adaptation instead.
J-Pop music, however, I pounce on as soon as they’re released. At first, it was just the OP and ED songs from the anime I was watching. Soon I started downloading listening to their other non-anime-related songs also. Eventually, I got to know other J-Pop artists and started listening to anything I can get my hands on. Some of my favorite artists are Ayumi Hamasaki, Ayaka Hirahara, FictionJunction YUUKA, Maaya Sakamoto, and Suara.
