Hi everyone, I am new to MangaUpdates Forums. My name is Ryan and I am 20 years old. By the way, I am (also) an unemployed male.

My hobbies and Interests include video gaming, reading novels and manga, surfing the web, watching cartoons, anime, TV, and movies.

I only watch Anime english dubbed and I only read manga in the form of (Officially) English Translated Tankōbon.

I get my manga by borrowing/checking it/them out from my public library, borrowing from friends, reading for free at bookstores, and getting other people to buy me manga with their own money. I rarely buy manga myself with my own money.

Oh, and I don't read manga scans at all.

I get my anime by downloading it, watching it on TV, as well as renting it from Netflix, borrowing from my public library & friends, getting other people to buy me anime with their own money. I rarely buy anime myself with my own money.

I only watch anime english dubbed and never watch anime fansubbed, officially subbed, or RAW for the following 5 reasons:

1.) I don't understand the Japanese language at all, nor will I ever try to attempt to learn it.

2.) I hate reading subtitles, they're annoying and are in the way. Plus they always distract me, causing me to have to rewind all of the time.

3.) I prefer to listen to shows in my language, which is English.

4.) I am very patient, therefore I can deal with waiting for anime to be slowly dubbed and released in the U.S.

5.) Anime is just a mere hobby to me, so if it were to stop being dubbed, I could easily move on with my life and replace it with a different hobby.

I only download full-length anime episodes/movies/OVAs/specials etc for free using MegaUpload, torrents, and IRC.

I hope to make some friends and have a great time here .

If you want to know more about me, feel free to leave me questions to answer here in this thread.

Welcome to MU. Hopefully I'll be friend #1 or something. This might be one of the longest intros I've read... which isn't many but still.

Seems everyone has their own way of doing things. Why don't you read manga scans though? You gave a reason for anime but not for manga.

Trip Fall Die

GAH! My plot doesn't bend that way!

Ô_Ö Well, you have your reasons, I have mine! (to read manga scans and watch only subbed anime) 🤣 Peace! 😀

Enjoy and see you around.

Sup, dude. No offense, but you seem to be trolling. Just stating my opinion. Anyway, if you're not trolling, welcome to MU! Hope you have a good time and whatnot. ^_^

No one answers my PM's...

Um...welcome. o.o
just wondering why did you come here if you don't read scanlations or watch fansubs...

Well, everyone has their own reasons, so welcome to the forums! 🙂

The lot of critics is to be remembered by what they failed to understand.

• Have fun.

I've known a lot of trollers in my life. I can usually spot 'em from a mile away. Shrugs I just call 'em like I see 'em.

Welcome...

Tips on how to use the site:

-Use the "Search Forums" button you see above to find any topics you might wanna talk about so as to avoid making repeat threads

-The List function is very useful in keeping track of manga you're reading, you wanna read or finished reading. You can see other people's lists as well in their profile if they made them public.

-On the User CP you can block out certain genres from the releases page if you don't wanna see stuff such as hentai, yaoi, yuri, etc.

-In addition to blocking out certain genres you can also search for manga with certain genres you want using the Genre Search function.

And English dubbing sucks most of the time.
