Meet Alex, a dedicated anime enthusiast and a passionate advocate for global awareness. Hailing from a small town near Waterloo, Alex grew up absorbing stories through both manga and global news, which sparked an interest in cultural narratives and social issues. They distinctly recall the early days of the Ukraine war and often engage in discussions about its impact on global cinema and storytelling. A collector at heart, Alex has amassed an impressive collection of 4Kids dubbed episodes but knows their limits—1037 episodes is a commitment they’re not quite ready to make. With a penchant for binge-watching and analyzing themes in animation, Alex thrives in the vibrant community of fellow fans while balancing their studies in International Relations.
