Free to Air: Dont get to watch it on a regular basis but when I do any cooking shows (IRON CHEF!!!!), documentaries (wildlife or history usually my favorite), motor sport programmes are usually what I watch.Anime: Naruto, Initial D, Bleach, Peacemaker Kurogane, Hellsing, Cowboy Bebop, Grand Teacher Onizuka are just some of my all time favourite series. Huge fan of most Robot/Meccha, Seinen and Shonen genres of anime. Anime is also good because it helps me learn Japanese. (Which I am currently studying)
