AnimeSuki Forums

Hi and welcome to Anime Down Under!

Please do tell us where bouts in Australia you're from along with a few words about yourself too if you want

Make sure to keep this group in the back of your mind whilst running around the forums and try to spread the word as much as you can. Afterall the more Aussies we round up, the more merrier it gets!

To kick things off.

I'm from Sydney and I'm currently undergoing university studies in Mechatronics Engineering. Been exposed to anime since i was a little kid, but have only really started getting into it as a hobby since 2005/2006

Right then, I'm a Singaporean-Australian from Melbourne, currently studying Commerce at the University of Melbourne. As for anime, I don't really watch much, but I was really into the Dragonball franchise. As of now, though, the only anime I bother to watch are the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series and K-On!.

Hi! I'm from Melbourne, and I've just finished year 9 ^^
I'm a huge anime/manga fan, and have been for almost 3 years now, and I especially love comedy and psychological animes

G'day guys. I'm from sydney. I study occupcuptional therapy at uni, and don't stress, nobody knows what that is :-S
I'm your garden variety white girl, but I went to a high school where the majority of the students were asian...and thus started my love of everything Japanese. I've been into anime for about 5 or 6 years but predominantly watch the most commonly known ones.
I don't know how this group found me, but it sounds good. Any questions? Just ask, I'm pretty much an open book
Cara

Cara, i basically ran a search through the members list for whoever was located in Australia according to their profiles.
I then sent a mass invite to everyone who last logged in since November, that's about 70 invites all up.
There's around 60 pending invites left to be rsvp'd and mind you I've only covered 15% of the total members who have Australia on their profile as their location

Lotsa work to be done and plenty of opportunities for this group to expand

P.S: Thanks a lot for joining the group everyone! Feel free to start up any new discussions whenever you want, on whatever you want

I live in Sydney. Just finished my HSC and Year 12 this year. Well, I don't have much to say, but I've been interested in anime since 2001.

hey everyone. live in Perth WA love playing football (AFL) love surfing and Anime. always have watched anime a bit on and off but from the end of 08 i have started watching it alot more. go to Uni at Notre Dame in Fremantle and am studying Marketing and Management part time while working full time for a shipping company.

Huh. Well, what do you know. Hey Cara!

And hey everyone else from Oz that I don't know about!

I'm a French-Chinese guy living in Sydney. I've graduated from a design computing degree last year and have been freelancing ever since. I've only been in Australia for the past 5 years, I've otherwise lived in Europe and Africa mostly.

I live in South Gippsland right down the bottom of Victoria near the coast on a dairy farm. About a three and a half hour drive from Melbourne CBD.

I'm working for Murray Goulburn Co Op in a Trading Store as a "retail rural sales representative" according to my pay packet but it's really just an over glorified title for a check out chick. I tend to spend my days out the back warehouse driving the forklift and keeping things in order.

The job is only a temporary measure as I'm simply awaiting a two year hiatus from the Defence Force to expire and be on my way to RMC Duntroon. When I previously applied to join (May 2008) my father was terminally ill at the time and just wanted me to wait two years for things to settle down.

My father died in August that year and it was that loss that made me turn to anime to escape reality for a little while and has blossomed into an interest in character orientated works and fast paced action animes.

G'day all,

I first got introduced to anime while in Yr 12 (probably didn't do much for my VCE) by a mate, have been out of school for a year now heading back to complete a duel degree in Nursing and Paramedicine next year.

I live in Ballarat which is about an hour and a half out of Melbourne and my background is English/German so I'm not biased, I have been to Japan on a school trip and really enjoyed everything about it. Besides anime I enjoy gaming both on PC and Xbox Live (Gamertag Trilobiteer117) and I also play Warhammer 40K.

I am somewhat a bit of a car person and work at the local garage on weekends to earn a bit of extra cash, and am very proud of my first car (even if it is just a magna). My ultimate goal is to become a medivac in the RAAF or RAA flying around in the back of either a Herc or a Blackhawk (although probably MRH90's by the time I get in).

Nice to meet other Aussies round here, Trilo.

hi guys, i'm in melbourne. go to RMIT and do aerospace engineering. everywhere i've been there was some form of an anime club so i guess i grew up on anime. freaking sick this group got created. anyway nice to meet you all

Hey, I'm a year 9 student from NSW, and it is awesome to see that there's so many Australian anime fans here. :D

North West, up near Port Hedland. I don't watch much anime because it's mostly garbage, but I sub a lot I guess. No idea if anyone has heard of any of my groups though or if anyone cares \o/
I study aviomechatronics at multiple universities, and I work in systems infrastructure/video production.

E~

just starting year 11, and i have been studying japanese since year 8 and i am enjoying it.

I just got back from japan recently and somehow i love manga and anime more now

In year 8 my friend and i made a deal that i would read the first 2 books of fruits basket if she watched the show firefly that i wanted her to see.

Hey,

I am a University student from Melbourne studying Architecture. I have a general passion for the anime sub culture built up mainly from an overtly obsessed friend [$16.5k worth of Anime, Manga and Movies since he started collecting in 04] Anime is a good past time I try to restrict pending studies workload. But sometimes [around Supernova and Manifest] I get back into the Anime swing of things.

Currently watching To Aru Mojutsu no Railgun, FMA:Brotherhood and K-On S2.

ADD-ON:
Realizing you necro'd a thread without meaning too because you noticed you were invited to a group quite a bit later then you should have. Not so great.

Uber late welcome binjuice lol

And don't sweat the necro too much, the thread's made for welcomes and intro's after all no matter how late they may be
