After finding out that the school's library was a welcome respite from the heat of the tropical island he inhabited, Paolo Jasa found out that books were a whole lot better than being a constant target during P.E. class; so much so that he developed a love for them that would last him a life time. His first forays in Science Fiction were in the novels of the esteemed I. Asimov, R. Bradbury, and D. Adams, while his adventures in Fantasy took him to the realms of Discworld, Hogwarts, and a Chicago that houses the only Wizard-For-Hire found in the local Yellow Pages, Harry Dresden.
Then he found out about Gaiman's Sandman comics, Miyazaki's animé, Pixar's movies, and (almost) every single web-comic on the Internet.
This changed things a little bit. A lot, in fact.
Regardless, Paolo's currently enrolled in the College of William and Mary to get a Bachelor's Degree in ... something. Hopefully in English or in Education in order to become a teacher, and to bend the minds of the next generation towards all things nerdy. While not studying or reading, he enjoys playing the alto saxophone and singing unabashedly around campus when no one’s looking.

When an anime is named after the lord of the flies and one of the seven Princes of Hell, I thought it would be one about demons, Hell (with a capital H) and the battle between good and evil. Oh, was I so glad that I was wrong.

The world of real laws, rules, and governments is making an unwanted appearance in this happy world of exaggeration, freedom, and creativity, due to the recent passage of a bill in Japan that will make a huge impact in the anime/manga industry, in terms of censorship and creative restrictions.
