Well, I've already made a few posts, but I might as well be official and make up an introduction post. I'm Kelly, known in most places as either Lunarkitten or Sailor Cybertron. I'm a huge Sailor Moon fan and I joined because I love seeing active SM communities! I've recently begun building up my Sailor Moon collection because I rarely have disposable income, but I've started collecting the R2 DVDs and LOVE them! My next thing is probably going to be getting the renewal manga. I used to be a big Sailor Moon RPer on AOL in its heyday (and I miss that), but now I just do a lot of videos, make AMVs, and help produce fandubs and stuff like that. Umm... outside of Sailor Moon, I'm a big Simpsons, Futurama, and Transformers fan. I hoard collect DVDs and toys, and right now I'm addicted to Pokemon Diamond. In a nutshell, I'm a pretty big geek and I love it.

Sailor Moon XXXHOLiC Fullmetal Alchemist Chobits Eerie Queerie Return to Labyrinth
I used to have a lot more, like Fruits Basket, Tokyo Mew Mew, Gravitation, Death Note, and Amazing Agent Luna, but since I didn't like them anymore I sold them in an attempt to thin out my collection. I probably have some others floating around that I forgot to mention. My books are all packed up and I don't know what I have anymore.

Fandubs

You can try the Voice Acting Alliance. They have a ton of fandubs going on all the time and they have some talented directors and actors looking for auditions. I've got a Sailor Moon fan series in the works, but everyone's been casted except for Luna and Darien (the director wanted it to be based on the dub version, sigh).

I love PPGZ! I haven't seen the whole series yet -- I left off around episode 30-something because I couldn't keep downloading them, but now that I have an external hard drive, I'll try to finish it. I was and still am a big fan of the original Powerpuff Girls, so seeing it with a Sailor Moon-y twist was like a fangirl's dream come true for me. The Ocean Group is supposed to be dubbing it so I'm kind of worried about how the dub will turn out, but I'll watch it nonetheless.
However, the original Mojo Jojo > anime!Mojo.

I can give you a good list of anime, but girlish anime isn't my forte. For things similar to Sailor Moon, I also recommend:
Cutey Honey Revolutionary Girl Utena (from the same director as Sailor Moon, by the way) Excel Saga Pretty Cure / Yes! PreCure 5 / the new PreCure series I forgot the name of! Chobits Tokyo Mew Mew

Tsubasa

I haven't gotten around to reading Tsubasa, but I've been addicted to the series it crosses with, XXXHOLiC. I'm kind of sad because CLAMP has been churning out Tsubasa like license plates in a prison while poor little HOLiC gets one volume every three months or so. I did see the Tsubasa movie packaged with the HOLiC movie at Best Buy tonight, so I'll give it a try when I end up getting the movie. It looks like an interesting series, but I'm just so used to the Cardcaptor Sakura universe that it might be hard for me to get into.

I nth anything by CLAMP -- my favorites by them are Rayearth, XXXHOLiC, Chobits, and Cardcaptor Sakura. Fullmetal Alchemist is also very good and drastically differs from the anime past the first few volumes. Outside of HOLiC and FMA I haven't kept up with any manga series, so that's the best I can give you.

I tried watching this because I'm a bit of a sucker for magical girl anime, but the whole singing-as-an-attack turned me off entirely. Attacks should not be over fifteen seconds at the most in my book. Plus, I'm really not that fond of the style it's drawn in. It just turned out to be far too cutesy sparklypoo for my taste. :\

I used to keep up with the manga, up until volume 12... then I got bored with it. I'm not really one for mushy romance manga to begin with. I liked it at first, but for some reason I just don't like Tohru very much. She's a good character, but she annoys me. It's weird because Usagi is my favorite Sailor Moon character and she and Tohru are almost identical. Who knows. I also couldn't stand Rin. Haru and Kyo were the ones I liked best.
To be honest, I only kept up with it that long because of Momiji. I think he's absolutely adorable, and I'm half-German as well. :3 I love how he wears the girl's school uniform -- he actually looks good in it! I even have a Momiji rabbit hat. In my opinion, his story was the saddest. I drew a picture of him and Usagi together because rabbits just have to stick together.

I tried watching Death Note, but Light aggravated me so much that I just couldn't stand it. I just want to punch him in the face and tell him to shut up. I've been watching the dub on Adult Swim whenever I catch it, and I've managed to grow fond of L even though I know what happens to him. (Death Note spoilers? On MY internet?) But Light... ugh.
I just can't really get into an anime if I can't even remotely like the main character. Heh.

I'm reading Return to Labyrinth, the sequel manga to Labyrinth. The art style sucks hardcore, but the story's pretty good.

XXXHOLiC. I'm on pins and needles waiting for volume 11 to come out. HOLiC > Tsubasa anyday.
I'm also reading Sgt. Frog at work since we just got the volume 1-3 omnibus in not long ago.

I LOVE Chobits! It was one of the first non-Sailor Moon mangas I got into, and I let my friend borrow it and she became obsessed with it as well. I have the entire manga collection and have only seen two or three episodes of the anime. My friend has the bootleg DVD set and I'd borrow it from her if the subtitles actually made sense. The boxset is on sale at the mall and if I had $70 to spare, I'd so get it.
The "Your Eyes Only" artbook just came out in English and I've been looking through it during downtime at work. The art is absoloutely gorgeous and it features some of Chii's best outfits. I highly recommend looking for it!

I'm rewatching Gurren Lagann because my friend wanted to watch it, so I introduced him to the greatness that is Kamina.
Ohhh, when are the DVDs finally coming out? ;_;

I'm watching Lucky Star (I just got another friend addicted to it) and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. Mmm, mechs!
I recently got Excel Saga and The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but I haven't had time to watch them yet.
