Tropers / Eamil

Tired of seeing my name redtexted but haven't been sure what to put here. This page is probably either under construction or horribly outdated, depending on whether I've recently remembered it exists.

About Me

• Name: Alex. No, that's not my real name, but it's one I frequently go by on the interwebs, so feel free to use it if you don't like calling me Eamil.
• Location: USA
• Age: 25
• Preferred media: Books, anime, and video games. And webcomics.
• "Subs or dubs?": Dubs, with some exceptions.^note If I think a dub is truly awful (Angel Beats) or relies heavily on references to Japanese culture (Lucky Star) I go for subs in those cases. Azumanga Daioh falls under both categories for me.

Current Obsessions

• Haruhi Suzumiya: This quickly became one of my all-time favorite anime (despite Endless Eight nonsense), at least partly due to so much Rewatch Bonus it's not even funny.
  • Kyon Big Damn Hero: Durandall writes excellent fanfiction in general, and BDH is the single best fanfic I've ever read.^note Not that I've read much to begin with. Fair warning: This fanfic crosses over with Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni. While the crossover is not the premise of the story, references to events from Higurashi can be found throughout, and chapter 16 specifically contains massive spoilers.
    • My Kindle version of this fanfic can be found here, up-to-date as of January 2014 (chapter 63).
• Gurren Lagann
• Durarara
• All Blizzard Entertainment franchises.
• Toonami: The revolution will be televised.
