Well hey, nice to meet you. If you've come to this page, you already know my name -- hopefully.
Now then, let's get started, shall we?
Background/Intro
It's been quite a while since I've been reading around here. I just happened to be introduced to Mahouka Koukou no Rettousei, by my friend who showed it to me as an manga. So, I became interested and found out it was a light novel adaptation, unlike the majority of anime. And so, it would be the first light novel that I would read. I used to think that anime adaptations were all from manga, but instead I found out that LNs were also pretty popular. That's how I ended up here.
Now, as for why I've decided to be an editor. The community here at BT has done quite a bit for readers. I didn't, and still don't, know Japanese to a native extent. I then thought about a way that I could give back to the community. I thought, "Since I've been in an English speaking country all of my life, why not be an editor?" That's how I came to be an editor here. There's a possibility of myself becoming a translator in the future.
I've been roaming around in LNs,VNs,manga, and anime for some time. I decided to take a break from anime since there wasn't really anything that interested me for a while (I was dealing with school and living life). It wasn't until this year around the end of my school year before the beginning of summer, that I came back. And man/woman, I'm really glad that I came back this year.

Myself in General
Life
Study. Read Manga. Read LNs. Reading VNs. Watch Anime. Aikido (合気道). Piano. Guitar. Living life. That right there pretty much summarizes my life. Anyways, I've runs for 10-11 years and played the Guitar for 4 year. Running is one of those sports that everyone knows, does not require teamwork, won't break any bones and work up a good sweat. Good stuff. The Saxsophone, the Violin and the piano: 3 of the most versatile and beautiful instruments that come to mind. I guess the vocal cords also count. At first they sound horrible, but after years of refinement they are beautiful. I've just started aikido recently, and I find it pretty fun. Fight if you've got no option, but run whenever you can.
Tips
Life has its ups and downs. Whenever you're depressed -- always know this: things will get better. I've been through quite a few periods of depression, and anger; through these periods of such, I've learned that life has its ups and downs. Only you can really help yourself in these situations.
If the string is too loose, it won't make any noise. If the string is to tight, it will snap.
Media Related
Manga
Best current, action-oriented anime that I can think of right now is Akame ga Kiru!. It's similar to Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.
Light Novel(s)
High School DxD. One of a kind.
Visual Novel(s)
Majikoi is one of the few that I've watched (it's both a VN and an anime). Ever 17: The Out of Infinity was pretty good. Tomoyo After: It's a Wonderful Life was a tearjerker.
Anime
There are a lot out there, so I can't think of one instantly. I prefer romance, mech, and comedy.
Games
I stopped playing as of this year. I don't know if I'll ever go back. I used to play DotA. Life is great, I'm busy, and there are so many other things that I could be doing (such as editing here on BT).
Music
I just noticed how good jpop is, starting as of this year. I listen to a lot of VN OP's and anime OPs and EDs; I used to think that all the anime OPs and EDs were just junk. I'm a violinist, so I do like classical music in general. Search up Carmen Fantasy and you'll finally know what that tune's name is! I also like soft rock. I'm somewhat of an audiophile.
