Hey, I'm Swordsman of Fire, but you can call me Swordy

If you read my stories please criticize but don't flame just because you don't like it or as I like to say "Be critical, not cynical"

Gender: Male (In case the Pen name didn't make it totally obvious)

Age: 19

Fvorite Anime/manga: My top 5: Code Geass (Like Death Note and Gundam thrown in a blender with an extra helping of awesome!), Fullmetal Alchemist (Action, Philosophy, Fantasy, Drama, and Comedy; there's something for everyone), The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (Still need to see season 2), Clannad (Sidesplitting humor and heart-tugging drama), Eureka Seven (Story's a little confusing but it's a good one)

Least Favorite Anime/Manga: Kagihime (Banish it to the Ninth Circle of Hell!), Naruto (Not bad but very overrated), Bleach (see Naruto), Mysterious Girlfriend X (not bad, just weird... very weird), Buso Renkin (again not bad but for some reason I love to nitpick it), Pokemon (like the games with all the fun and entertainment surgically removed), Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (I love Miyazaki's other films but not this one)

Favorite Video Games: Blazblue: Calamity Trigger, Golden Sun, Golden Sun: The Lost Age, Portal, Tales of Symphonia

Favorite Genre of Music: Rock n' Roll (Mostly 70's and 80's with some modern)

Places I'd like to visit: Japan, Italy, and Germany (Oddly enough they're the three Axis powers)

"It would be very narrow minded of me to say all Japanese cartoons suck, that's like saying all glam rockers are pedophiles.
