baccano.jpgMy “real” name is Paul Bates. I’m a 24 year-old anime fan based in Cambridge, United Kingdom. Ostensibly a professional website developer for a local technology company, I probably spend more time reading, writing and thinking about anime; I’ve been cursed with this attraction since late-2003, when upon discovering fansubs of Naruto everything quickly escalated to the point at which you find me now. Alongside this blog, I’m also putting my fandom to good/harmful use by running the ever-lasting Anime UK News. If you’re interested in learning more about this humble blogger, there’s a good interview with me over at Sea Slugs! Anime Blog just waiting to be devoured by hungry eyes.

As for my all-time favourite anime, I can’t simply name one, but I absolutely adore the following: Berserk, Fruits Basket, Gungrave, Honey and Clover, Monster, One Piece, Planetes and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

Please feel free to e-mail me some recommendations (new or old anime, anythings good), feedback or… whatever. Similarly, I’m always interested in contributing to other projects, including reviews and/or articles for magazines, so please do get in touch. My address is bateszii@googlemail.com. I’ll look forward to hearing from you, then.
