Aww man you're friend's brother don't soudn too nice. I'd be so angry if anyone ruined any of my Pokemon games to any extent. :( I really wish I could drop out of school and become a Pokemon trainer. I actually put that as my education on my Facebook for kicks and giggles ahaha.
Anyway, welcome to PC Rick! I hope you don't mind me calling you that haha. I personally have no idea what anime to recommend you but General Entertainment has a
anime recommendation thread and you can definitely ask people there. Just be specific about what kind of anime you're looking for. I am a fan of anime alot though and I really like Durarara!!, The Melanchoy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Lucky Star, Pokemon, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist, and a whole bunch of other that if I were to list them all , this post would be really long. XD
I have always found Writing very interesting too as well. I'm been trying to come up with several concepts for stories, but they have never really gotten of the ground much. D: Hopefully they can someday though, but I still really love writing. You can post your stories or other writings in
Fan Fictions And Writing if you want. There's always room for more stories there and people who frequent the section really helpful there. Alot of PC members are helpful in fact. Haha.
Good luck with whatever you do here and most importantly , have fun doing it! It's not to hard to meet and chat with people here so don't be shy to talk to other. That includes me of course! See around man!
