Report ProGoddess's Profile

I enjoy most genre of manga and anime, except for hentai - which isn't in my department. Occasionally I may skip horror story that is "too horror" like those that make my heart jumps continuously and I get nightmare reading or watching. I kinda like a scaredy cat huh (lol)! Hmm... though having said that, if I find a particular series or show that is good, I will pick up my courage to read and watch it.

I remember years ago when censorship wasn't that stringent and many uncensored shows were broadcasted on TV and also being sold in the form of VCDs, horror stories back then were "very" horrifying (haha). For instance, the piercing of a stick into the vampires' heart in a vampire show or dismembering of human body parts in a serial killer film can be very traumatising (:O)

I don't particularly like too much of fan service though a lot of series have them all the time. My favourite series, Fairy Tail, is one of them. I suppose it can't rule out that this kind of presentation is done deliberately for marketing purposes. Nevertheless, as long as the content and story line are acceptable, I don't pay much attention to such trivial matters. I just put on a smile and pass through it (hehe).

I have been reading manga and watching anime (and a little on light novels) for many years and it is still the most enjoyable hobby I have ever had since I was a kid. I'm sure many individuals in the manga-anime community will agree how fun it is and will spend hours - as much as their time permits - on reading manga or watching anime. We may have cultivated many hobbies through the years of our lives but not many of them are able to withstand the time. Somehow, I feel that manga and anime seem to be one of those interests that people pick up either at their early years like during childhood or even when they have grown up as a teenager or an adult, it appears that their enthusiasm did not diminish over time. Perhaps the taste relating to genre or demographic may change, but the love of them remain unchanged. At times we may take a break, but we still go back to it. Personally, I took a break some years ago and had no manga and anime at all for about a year. However, I started to pick up the hobby again. Hence I am back into the manga-anime world and it feels like there is a lot to catch up on (hahaha).

I used to moderate forum and write reviews previously, as well as some translation work, but decided to stop due to busy schedule in life. Work like these would require a lot of spare time and effort which can be hectic sometimes. However resuming to being a reader and viewer does bring back my interest in these areas. But I kinda staying in the shade to enjoy the coolness of the breeze. :)

I have a number of favourites which I always enjoy all the time. Long-live series like Doraemon is like everyone's love. I used to watch it on TV when I was a little kid. The series is still showing on TV (Haha) and I watch it whenever I can. I also buy the merchandised stuff toys that display the different emotions of Doraemon. Kinda bring joy and laughter whenever I look at them. I wonder if there are Doraemon fans out there...

The other series that I like are One Piece and Fairy Tail. Obviously - for Fairy Tail - not the fan service but the story line. I particularly like the music in the series. It is one of the best, if not the best music in the Japanese animation. Even listening to it can bring tears to my eyes. Needless to say, I can pour out my heart while watching the anime.

Here are some of the OST clips from Fairy Tail which I listen to very often.



One Piece, on the other hand, has a different style of fan service. When talking about fan service, it does not pertain to solely on sexuality content though this is the most successful marketing tool to please the audience or readers. One Piece picks up the approach in the form of humour and exaggeration such as idiotic gesture and behaviour. This subtle kind of fan service can captivate many people's interest and charms their hearts. The music of this anime, though different from Fairy Tail, also has its beauty. It is as fascinating as it befits the story and its characters which is very enjoyable to listen to.

Here are some of the clips that accompany me all the time.



There are also some other series that I like and enjoy all the time. Series like Detective Conan, Q.E.D., You're Under Arrest!, Assassination Classroom, Naruto, Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Fruits Basket, Death Note, Haikyuu, Prince of Tennis, Claymore, 1/2 Prince, Gintama, Chi's Sweet Home and so on, are some of my favourites. Well, I do have a variety of interest in various type of genre.

Here are some of the music from Detective Conan series.








I have always intrigued by little things in life. Even just a hug to show that you care means so much. Or a mere presence when someone is feeling down can bring much comfort to another. At times, we may also have to give some space to someone to take a breather. We need it ourselves too. Therefore, it is important to spend an "alone" time to enjoy the serenity and calmness, and to still our hearts - as the song says, "Be Still, My Soul."

Be Still, My Soul



I hope that I will be able to meet some light-minded people, with sincere and genuine interest in manga and anime. It is always fun to get together with people to talk and discuss what we like (and what we don't like).

Years gone by and we have gone through the Covid pandemic. Though it has gradually subsided, the virus still continues to inflict people. However with the vaccination, many who had gotten the virus were able to recover well and quicker, with lesser side effects on their physical health. I wonder how you guys are doing.

Besides having diseases surging around, we also have nations' conflict and war. As a result, every country is facing fear, and those who have lost their loved ones are feeling the sorrow and devastation. On top of these disasters, inflation is creeping in fast and cost of living is increasing. As much as the world is changing and fallen, I hope everyone will look after yourself and your family. Love is priceless. Appreciate the things we have and be thankful for them, regardless how small or insignificant it is. Have you expressed your love and gratitude to your loved ones lately?

I would like share this music with you. I hope it will help you lift up your spirit of joy and hope.

I pray for your wellness. God bless! :)
