So I guess this will qualify as my #introduction
I'm 30(m) and I'm into just about everything you'd expect. (I'm here aren't I?) I like technology, anime, manga, video games and a good time. I like seeing things that I normally wouldn't be able to. I live in the Eastern US and wish to travel to Japan. I hope to learn more and more about the culture and I'm slowly learning Japanese. Please be patient as I learn the platform. I hope to gain tons of new friends and have lots of conversations.
My favorite series that I've discovered recently is 'Don't Toy With Me Miss Nagatoro' I don't know what it is about it, but it's great! I binged the manga in less than a week (which is blazing to me). And I'm almost through the first season dubbed and I'm going to go back and watch it subbed.
Happy Birthday to the Japanese voices of the characters of both Gabi Braun on Attack on Titan and Uraraka Ochaco on My Hero Academia, Voice Actress Ayane Sakura.

So, I haven't done this in a while, but here's a gym selfie.
Going to the gym early in the morning before the kids get up is annoying, but it's helpful. I am getting healthier.
This morning, I did the stairmill / stairstepper machine. I've been doing this a few times a week when we do cardio. When I first went to the gym I was so intimidated by this. Still am and still sweat like no one's business when I do it. However, I did 30 minutes on it and climbed the equivalent to 136 stories. That means I climbed more than the Empire State Building (103 stories) and the Willis/Sears Tower (108 stories).
I could not have done this when I started.
I want to get stronger to be around a long while for my kids...and I am.
...Related, but the shirt I am wearing is a crossover shirt with Sanrio characters dressed as My Hero Academia characters. It's cute!
If anyone on fedi reads #myheroacademia, is Season 7 of the anime the final season of the show? I know the manga is still running but I think it's winding down soon? And I think the anime is REAL close to where the manga is right now? I'm curious how much more HeroAca anime i can expect
