New year, new instance, new #introduction post.
I'm Chris and I'm bad at social media, in that most of the talking to online people I do is in DMs--i.e. rarely ever public. So I guess my main New Year's resolution is to work on that.
I enjoy sci-fi like #StarTrek and #StarWars, as well as #anime, #MagicalGirls, and #GenshinImpact. I anticipate posting/boosting that sort of thing and/or whatever else catches my fancy here, while trying to keep the mood here generally positive.
@hexagonification Paging @pkemner. You've got another magical girls ally on the server 
@pikestaff@hexagonification magical girls huh! 
me too! I really love Star Trek as well.
@hexagonification
Welcome!
Have any favorite SF anime series? Planetes is one of mine- near-future combination of space and ensemble cast.
Which Magical Girl series do you like?
@pkemner Hi there! It's hard to pick just one...
For SF: Evangelion and Space Battleship Yamato (I've been putting off watching 2202, should get back on that). I guess Haruhi Suzumiya also counts--that was actually my very first anime.
And for magical girls: Sailor Moon, Precure (primarily Heartcatch and Hugtto, but there are several I haven't seen at all), Madoka, and Cardcaptor Sakura.
I generally consider Eva and Madoka my favorite anime of all time.
@hexagonification
Cool! I've seen Yamato 2022, but not the earlier version of it.
Haruhi as a first anime- interesting. Being non-linear, with the 8-episode time loop, and a lot that's unexplained, it sets a high bar.
Madoka is stunning. It's one of the few series I watched multiple times to see how Urobuchi put things together. Sakura was a great CLAMP series too.
@hexagonification
Oh, and Heartcatch is still my favorite. Hugtto is a solid series too. I've seen all the series, and most of the movies. Precure 5 GoGo is probably the low point, when Precure came close to cancellation (saved by Fresh).
Delicious Party is finally taking off, but it shouldn't have taken till episode 40 for that to happen.
