      Haha, I wish. It depends where you live.
      For example, I'm literally in your stereotypical suburbia. 90% of the freaking houses here look the same, every lawn is perfectly green, each family has 2.3 kids, etc. But you also can't get much here like that without traveling at LEAST an hour.
      Then again, I could always just drive for 4 hours and go to New York, where you literally can find anything and everything.

        Hehe, yeah I live in a town that was once voted the most boring place in Brtain. I'm not kidding. Someone send me to America. But, that has nothing to do with anime. We got one decent shop in town, but it only sells like anime figures and stuff...uh, yeah, smart idea since I can't even see most of the shows the merchandise is from... Hehe, well they got Gundams and Final Fantasy so I'm relatively happy, just wish there was a bit more variety over here. Unfortunately I don't think most of the people I know have ever seen any anime in their lives because it's still not really mainstream here.katyjag, a young revolutionary...

          Haha, the most boring place in all of England? Wow...that must be bad.
          Yeah, and as much as anime is BECOMING more mainstream over here, its still "just cartoons" to most people (or as one friend puts it, "seizure-inducing cartoons").
          I'm still a newbie though (unless you count watching Voltron and Transformers when I was a kid), and it is a bit hard to get into though (at least for me).

            It's bad, Jim, it's very bad. I can't wait to move! But hey, I'm better off than a lot of people on the planet, so I can't complain really. I am relatively new to anime too. Hehe...Transformers... *integral part of katyjag's childhood* Does that count as anime then? katyjag, a young revolutionary...

                Okay, I got through the first 8 episodes, and honestly, the first six kinda sucked.
                Synopsis:
                Oh look! An angel!
                FIGHT!
                Oh look! An angel!
                FIGHT!
                Oh look! An angel!
                FIGHT!

                BUT, it seems to be getting a bit better with the last one or two, so who knows, this might actually live up to its reputation.
