Hello all!
I'm Jake, and I just recently joined this community - though I've been lurking on it for some time. Of course, I am a Kino fan, and have been for some time already... three, maybe four years? I stumbled upon the anime coincidentally and decided to check it out, and I was immersed by the time the first episode was finished. I really adore the series' atmosphere, style, and philosophical undertones. My love for Kino has also intrigued me to explore similarly deep series, such as
Mushi-Shi, which I find to be an equally wonderful anime. And of course, due to my status as a fan, I find myself obsessed with collecting whatever scare material I can find in nearby stores:
( Some photos of my Kino stuff behind the cut. Though it's not much and the images are pretty small, but I don't want to be stretching anybody's tables. )Anyway, that's my loot; I know it's not terribly interesting compared some of the other collections here (I seriously envy you guys who get to have those Kino figurines! I'm not much of a merchandise collector, but I'd love to get my hands on a few of those), but I felt like showing it off anyway now that I'm here. Hope to get along with you all!
