Hello everyone,
I have this conversation with members privately whenever I first meet them but it hit me that I would love to hear everyone's point of view of Why you fell in Love with this Minitokyo. What got you hooked? What makes it special to you?
With me I fell in love with this site in 2005, I grew up in a very small town in Kentucky USA. Besides my twin sister and I we had only one other friend of ours that openly liked Anime and Manga. We felt so alone in our passion and fandom. We're made to feel like freaks or weird in a small country town if you liked such a thing. So when I found this site and showed it to my sister we became addicted and so happy. The wallpapers, scans are beautiful but what got us hooked was the community. They LOVED anime just as much as us and wasn't afraid to have discussions with us about characters or a series. We found friends for life that I still talk to this day with. So it was the friends and the community that made me fall in love with Minitokyo. There's NO SITE LIKE IT. Sites like Tumblr yes has pretty images and can re blog easily BUT you wont get the type of friends or easy communication with like minded fandom like you will here. I'm so grateful to Minitokyo for helping this small town girl (me) to know my twin sister and I were not alone and to help us make wonderful friends who we had so much in common with from not just USA but ALL AROUND THE WORLD that I would not have meet other wise. So THANK YOU MINITOKYO from the bottom of my heart *huggles*
Sincerely, thingperson aka Elizabeth
