Report Gooseflower's Profile

That's definitely the longest time I've had to wait for a response.

My name is pronounced as So-null. It's Sanskrit for Golden Girl hehe. My parents chose that name for me.

I'm guessing Gooseflower isn't your real name.

Good news! https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2024-12-19/kodansha-lists-skip-and-loafer-anime-with-2nd-season/.219251

Dear Autumn,

I meant to reply a lot sooner than this, but I kept saving the longer messages for later and later, and turns out this isn't even as long as I thought it'll be ^^; I'm really sorry it took me so long to get back to you! So here we are, 100 years later haha. Of course I'm still going to write this as a letter.
I'm also going to write my replies a bit shorter than before, so it's easier for both of us. Hope you got used to using Word by now, it's a lot easier that way! Though we'll still have to scroll back to other messages to understand context.

Haha, compared to Ghost Hound, Lain was a lot easier to understand imo. As for Utena, I liked the aesthetic of the show. And the music was really nice! But yeah, I wasn't a fan of the way the story was told.

I just found it amazing how one person could analyze so much stuff about one single anime! There's so much to discover if you only dig a little deeper. Tbh Evangelion is probably the most popular anime with such religious themes and I can't think of another one right now. But there are probably more. They are usually older anime too :o

Ah, I'm glad the poem was to your liking! But speaking of World Masterpiece Theater, have you seen that Anne of Green Gables anime is getting a remake next year? I'm so excited even though I know nothing about the story! :3

Oh my, what an iconic scene we have here xD Shinji was probably my favourite NGE character, now that I think about it.

Ohh so Egashira was your favourite Skip to Loafer character? Not a very popular opinion haha. But I like her too, she must be quite relatable for most people. Because at that age, almost everyone's trying to fit in and to accept themselves as they are. But being pretty or not doesn't matter xD Or well, I guess it does a bit. It's a nice bonus haha.

Oh, do you prefer to watch longer seasonals? I know that most of them are usually 12 or 13 eps long.
Also, which one did you like more in the end? Frieren or Apothecary Diaries? I'm team Frieren, though the Apothecary Diaries was really good as well! I even started reading the light novels for it haha.

It might be a little embarassing for some, but I think it's usually a sign the show you're watching is really good! Do you usually cry during emotional scenes in anime? :o
Speaking of Bocchi, the movie will be just a recap iirc. But there's got to be a sequel at some point, no? They have to make one! If not, I guess I'll try to read the manga lol.

This time, I'm thanking you for your patience. I hope life's been treating you well and that you got used to those changes! I think it's beautiful (and brave) to follow your dreams like that. I'm sure it's going to be quite the experience! I'll be cheering you on <3

Minimalist designs are very charming as well, especially if you're too lazy to make a fancy profile (like me xD). And while we're on the subject, I want to mention how nice your current profile is as well! So cozy <3 Fun fact, Bless the Child by Nightwish is one of my favourites from them, but I completely forgot about that song until now. So I'm grateful for the reminder ;D
Haha that's exactly why I said that! I didn't even see half of the popular movies yet. Aaand I don't think I plan to anyway ^^;

What have you been watching/reading lately? Any hidden gems? :D

Best wishes,
Shiro :)

Thank you so much for your sweet birthday wish and our conversations about everything and anything means a lot to me :D Reading this today really made my day even better! And don't worry about that I am just happy you took your time to wish me a happy birthday. Good luck with your exams and see you around my friend <3

Hey!! Thank you so very much!! xx

I have actually taken up a new hobby! I have been practicing slinky tricks :D I got juggling and the rubik's cube down currently xD
When I first read “deskjockey” I accidentally read it as “diskjockey” and was bewildered over why you suddenly decided to become a DJ xD It makes so much more sense now that I read it properly haha. But I am glad to hear you get along with them because otherwise that can ruin the group dynamic and work if everyone dislike each other.

Maybe he did a little detour then xD I actually don’t know :o I know Sweden was one of the first countries to adopt Lutheranism, but why the Pope visited Lund’s cathedral I can’t really say.

Oh wow, it sounds a lot more dramatic in minor key, but cool nonetheless xD

I don’t think you have! But I appreciate it all the same :D

Very beautiful music you have shared there :D I listened to every single one of them and enjoyed them a lot! I got to say Os Justi is way prettier than the Elfen Lied opening and everyone should at least have heard about Ave Maria. Latin lyrics make for some very ethereal music imo. It truly left a legacy and mark on European culture in one way or another. The German hymns are all very pretty in their own right and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them too :D Some people may say German sounds harsh, but I don’t agree with that. Just show them this and they will hear how beautiful it sounds!
I guess your mothers hate for Rheinberger will continue to be a mystery then xD
The only thing I was familiar with by Carl Orff was O Fortuna which has a totally different vibe compared to those you showed me! I appreciate his range now and that playlist you showed me was very calm and idyllic :)
I do think the German classical composers are the best. Followed by Russia and Italy. Though Sibelius is still the best obviously >:D

Thank you so much! That is correct, it is about the Battle of Stamford Bridge and I really like it :D
Those are also classics, but I never knew until now that Forever Young is actually a German song!

Not yet! I started reading the gospels thoroughly and then it just made sense to continue on with the new testament and I am almost at the Book of Revelation. But my next “project” will be to listen to his Bible in a Year videos as I start from Genesis and finish the whole thing. Thanks for bringing my attention to the fact those videos exist!

Beautifully said and totally true. Jesus faced temptation in the desert and still prevailed so we should take his example.

Yeah, I see your scores and they tell me you enjoyed them a lot :D

I realized that one week became yet another and suddenly it had been like two months since your reply. Sorry about that! How have you been doing lately? :D

Cute name

Hi Autumn!
Danke dir für die Glückwünsche!! :D

Ich hatte einen sehr schönen Geburtstag. Guckst du noch in letzter Zeit anime? :D
Und wie gehts dir? hehe

Ohh Gooseflower, it somehow escaped me and I didnt notice but Im here to wish u a happy belated birthday!!
I hope it was a great one!

Edit: Not at me forgetting to congratulate you in my recent reply
Happy belated birthday, Autumn!! Hope you had a great time with loved ones <33

Ooh that sounds like a lot of work :o Good luck with your internship, and I hope you get to learn as much as possible during the process <3

I know, right?! The wait for the 2nd season has been killing me, haha.

To Freeze, To Think, To Be definitely are definitely some interest names xD

How dare you! And here I thought my motivational exercise speech made a difference :c But I'm happy you've had enough motivation to do 30 push-ups each morning. I can only imagine a buff Autumn now ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ

For some reason I ended up watching several shoujo anime these past few months :o Specifically newer ones (Kanojo ga Koushaku-tei ni Itta Riyuu, Loop-7, and Gekai Elise) They were quite decent, though! Not anything very original and they're similar to each other in many aspects, but I enjoyed watching them :D

Been doing pretty fine! Looking forward to your reply anytime :hugs:

That's great that you'll have access to more older shows! I didn't need to know that you'll be watching them in German, though. That's too much information. XD

Curious to see what you'll think of Bloom into You, and am looking forward to watching Katrielle's Mystery-Solving Files together!

I will try to finish it soon haha.

Oh, for some reason I thought your favorite anime composer was Yuki Kajiura. Interesting collection of anime Michiru Oshima composed music for. I'll have to pay attention to those and see if I like her a lot, too. :)

I actually think you saying Tamako Love Story is one of the best Kyoani works there is says very little about the studio lol, since to me, it truly was nothing special whatsoever. It was just a nice, cute story and nothing more, really. I liked it, though, but I don't see what's so wonderful about it.

Anyway, happy birthday, Autumn!! I hope you've had a great, memorable day and many more joyous birthdays are to come. 🥳

Also, um, what made you change your rating system? What is the new rating system? I saw that you only rate 1 part of each anime again, and Kaguya-sama Season 3 got lowered to an 8, which is sad lol.

Happy birthday Autumn!! 🎉🎉
I know it's been ages since we've last talked, but I'm planning to write a reply soon! Hope you've had an amazing day and lots of cake too :3

Take care <3

Happy birthday my friend! Have an amazing day and God bless you!

Hello Gooseflower!!
Thanks for the birthday wish!
It has indeed been very long but it has nothing to do with u ofc, Ive just kinda stopped talking to people here on MAL in general, although I still use the website quite often. As to what Ive been doing, a lot has changed, in fact everything has changed. Since December of 2023 ive been living in Germany! Moving to any country comes with its fair share of hurdles (and benefits ofc, otherwise why would u even move there lol) but I wont be getting into those right now. At the moment my primary focus is the language, and oh boy german is quite the hard language. I have my B1 exam later this month and its honestly getting a bit too much for me right now because Im also working :{
However overall Im managing myself! Pretty much the whole of last year I was in a pretty bad mental state and especially last summer, I would even say I reached rock bottom in terms of my mental health. Thats all in the past tho and I have started a new life here and so far while it hasnt been easy I can see a light shining at the end of the tunnel, which gives me the strength to keep going.
How have you been yourself?
