I started watching DC when I was a kid. Then, I dropped it after a local TV station stopped airing it (dubbed version). Then, I recently started watching it again.
As for the manga,I only started reading it in 2009. Like the anime series, I also had dropped it for a couple of years before I decided to read it again.
I don't know why catching up on the anime and manga suddenly came up to me, but I'm glad of this forum cause I was able to understand major points through the theories here. I also got to somehow choose the most important arcs to read/watch. *has been a lurker for a couple of weeks now*

Oh, yeah. I'm also a big Shin+Ran fan!
