Things I enjoy:

Anime

Clarification: Not all anime.

I like modern anime. I like anime past about 2004, with very few exceptions, and even stuff that I like that was created before that comes with an asterisk. For example Lain is a show I am intrigued by. I won't go so far as to say I like it, but it's certainly interesting.

My favorite two are Shana and Nanoha (you can also find my MAL right here.)

Video Games

Not shooters. DEFINITELY NOT MILITARY SHOOTERS.

I actually like third person action games but not a whole lot of those are made. If more games were made like the recently released DmC I would love to play them, especially if they had a more eastern aesthetic since realistic western aesthetics are crap.

I actually don't like JRPG's or SRPG's but I do play the ones NISA and Aksys's release, mostly for the story the aesthetics and humor, with the gameplay being more of a means of delivery then a thing I actually enjoy.

My experience with Eroges:

I have so far enjoyed every eroge (or visual novel or what have you) that I have played, but they have not been many in number. I tend to get far to emotionally attached to the character who's route I wind up on for about a week after I finish the game and then I get over it.

The two classic style ones I played were:

Katawa Shoujo (this being my first). And I wound up (naturally, without any guides) on the Hanako route. I found it to be well written and it seemed pretty neat.

Little Busters: Again, no guide, I wound up with Kud. THAT. Was experience. A hard but rewarding one.

Non-Classic Style:

Kamidori Alchemy Meister: This is an SRPG, mixed with eroge, and it was really enjoyable actually. I even somewhat enjoyed the gameplay of it and I wound up with Emilita.

How I wound up here/Why I am here?

There is actually an eroge called Cage Sourire that caught my eye quite a while ago. I am currently considering trying to do something to get it translated. Though this is not an interest thread (if I get really serious about it I will create one). As far as I know it does not have any sort of translation project going on, or any buzz talking about it, and it seems to be quite an obscure game.

To be honest, I don't even know that much about it. I think the art is really adorable, I like the cafe setting, and I would like to see where that goes. It's largely curiosity pulling me toward it.

About the only skill I have that would be any sort of useful in translating novels is writing. I can't read Japanese and I wouldn't have any sort of idea where to even begin coding/encoding/ect.

So there you have it. A little about me, and a little about what sparked my interest in this place.

Welcome to the forums, so whats your favorite anime/VN genre???

I tend to look for different stuff depending on the type of media it is.

With anime I really like action with girl characters who are competent and badass (Shana and Nanoha both being good examples of this). I find it really hard to enjoy slice of life anime unless it's either done superbly well (like Gj-bu or Yuru Yuri) or has some sort of hook or fantastical element (Like Muromi).

With VN's it's much harder to say, since I've not played a whole lot of them. I think usually there will be at least one character I'm really into who I want to court.

Manga needs to have something unique or personally interesting to me like Ichinensei ni Nacchattara, Yotsuba and Watamote.

Hello and welcome! Do you like horror?

I don't actually. I hate horror because I find Hollywood and video game horror extremely cheesy.

There are a few exceptions though that I consider really well done, such as The Witch's House. Which doesn't scare me, but I can at least attest to it's quality.
