TOGETHER IN LOVE WITH ANIME AND MANGA SINCE THE '80s
Me and my darling began to watch anime and read manga long time ago during our childhood in the '80s, with our first series being various old classics like Maison Ikkoku, The Rose of Versailles (Lady Oscar), Mobile Suit Gundam, Hokuto no Ken, Doraemon, Dash Kappei (Gigi la Trottola), Time Bokan Yatterman, Saint Seiya, Haikara-san ga Tooru (Mademoiselle Anne),Kimagure Orange☆Road (È quasi magia Johnny), Dr. Slump: Arale-chan, Tokimeki Tonight (Ransie la Strega) and Ox Tales, to which we should add when the '90s arrived, other great titles like Ayashi no Ceres, Magic Knight Rayearth, Sailor Moon and Cardcaptor Sakura.
IN THE 2000s AND LATER
Finally in the 2000s and later, a special mention goes to Great Teacher Onizuka (GTO) for all the good time we had with Onizuka, Samurai Champloo for its amazing trip in the old Japan of EDO period and the great Lofi soundtrack by Nujabes, Death Note for its unforgettable protagonists, Clannad and its sequel Clannad:After Story for all the tears and the stunning visual art, as well as the deeply emotional Your Lie in April. But the list is still long and we should also add Ano Hana, Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, Attack on Titan, Violet Evergarden, Welcome to N.H.K., Arte, Tora Dora and Beastars.
NOT ONLY ANIME SERIES....ANIME MOVIES TOO!
In addition to series, we also never regret having a nice pizza for dinner while watching great anime movie classics like those by Studio Ghibli, Makoto Shinkai and various other studios. As our long time favourites, we must certainly mention Howl's Moving Castle, Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, My Neighbor Totoro and Kiki's Delivery Service by Hayao Miyazaki, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya by Isao Takahata and From Up to Poppy Hill by Gorō Miyazaki. We also wish to add some Makoto Shinkai works, in particular Kimi no Na wa (Your Name), 5 Centimeters per Second, Beyond the Clouds, Garden of Words, Suzume no Tojimari and Weathering with You, as well as various other titles like Wolf Children by Mamoru Hosoda, In this Corner of the World, A Letter for Momo, Penguin Highway, Hello World, A Silent Voice, Josee the Tiger and the Fish and Maquia.

Lastly, we are particularly in love with Slice of Life romantic comedies depicting the heart-warming atmosphere of Japanese suburbs, landscapes, schools, or popular cities like Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka and Kamakura, with those typical scenes like a sunset sky set on fire, the view of a distant Japanese train with the Fujiyama in the background and crows or black kites filling the air with their call. Among the best titles we love, we mention Maison Ikkoku, Clannad and its sequel Clannad:After Story, Your Lie in April, Rascal Does Not Dream of Bunny Girl Senpai, Ano Hana, while for anime movies A Silent Voice, Kimi no Na wa (Your Name), Weathering with You, 5 Centimeters per Second, Garden of Words, Liz and the Blue Bird and more!
OUR PASSION FOR ANIME AND MANGA GOES ON....
Whenever we can feel again that special atmosphere of our journey in Japan, that's the perfect anime and manga for me and my darling. We thus hope to leave a trace in this world of our passion and love for Japanese animation and manga! Thanks for reading us!
Cheers! ♥
