This is for posting your otaku milestones. You know, major events that have shaped your...otaku-ness. Here's a couple of mine.
I remember when I first picked up Trigun manga. I had read something in Anime Insider involving a joke on Vash's hair about two weeks previous, and remembered thinking it looked vaugely cool. It said 12 and up on the back. I told my brother he could not read it. ^^;;;
I remember recieving the first FLCL OST in the mail from CDJapan. We wasted ten minutes attempting to remember where the songs went in the series, failing misrablely. I wouldn't let anybody near it, because it was an import.
I remember...okay, I don't remember when I first saw Nicholas. So sue me.
