Because I can. . .

I was thinking it'd be funny to compile a list of things that a person new to anime, cel collecting, whatever should know, that they may not really hear right away.

I'm going for humor here.

Tip #1

Tip #5: Say your goodbyes to friends and family BEFORE you start watching anime. (You're never going to have time afterward).

To be fair, if you have to stand outside in the California sun on a humid day for 4 hours or so you WILL begin to be ... fragrant ....

Don't forget to tell the anime convention goers to brush their teeth too.
