Otaku Dan: The Life of an Anime Fan

Hello, I go by the nick of marmar04 and I guess I'll be making posts once in a blue moon. I'll be reviewing eroge and whatever else Dan throws my way. I'm also the owner of the official Otaku Dan IRC channel... Why isn't Dan the owner? Because he knows even less than I do about IRC.


About me?

I'm a 22 yr old lolicon that's been watching anime on and off since middle school. Started to really get back into it when I was 19 and haven't stopped since. Favorite artists are: Akira Kasukabe (love his shota stuff), Humikane Shimada, Na-Ga, and Konoe Ototsugu. My top anime are: Martian Successor Nadesico, Strike Witches, Full Metal Panic, Tsukiyomi Moon Phase, Gunbuster, and Neon Genesis Evangelion.

I also have a blog of my own, that I never seem to update anymore... And my anime-planet.com profile if you wanna look at the anime I've seen.

Back to the IRC thing. Many of you in the anime world already know of Internet Relay Chat. Whether it's to just chat or download all the latest anime from your favorite fansub group the IRC is a wonderful place. The honorable Otaku Dan has given his blessing for me to create an official IRC channel for his blog. Come idle and wait for random conversations to pop up here and there, or talk about what ever crap Otaku Dan is spewing on his blog. Who knows! Maybe the honorable Dan will grace us with his presence once in a while!

I have always like to cover my DS with skins. It's a great way to protect them and it looks good at the same time. For some time, I have been looking for anime themed skins for my DS but what I have found is limited to Naruto and Bleach skins. On my search, I stumbled upon a website that I can have custom made skins.

The website I found was GelaSkins. The quality is superb. It is not cheaply made and the material that it is made of will not create bubbles when applying. The only negative about the skin is if you have sweating hands, it will be slippery.



I am considering getting skins for my Wii and PlayStation 2. So, do you use skins as well?
