Hey, I'm Hanin, a fellow anime fan c:
Anime had quite the remarkable presence in my childhood thanks to a certain popular kids' channel that focused on dubbing a great number of animes delivering a 'good' message to the youngsters...
Openings/soundtracks in my native language (arabic) were created for each series (staying loyal to the concept, while playing on other factors), and they had incredibly meaningful lyrics, that I didn't fully realize back then...Now, if there was a place for my generation to gather, it would be in the comment section of one of these songs, all stormed by nostalgia, we'd agree on missing the old days ~
An example (Digimon's ost) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vi14L5luwuU
I also used to watch a French channel called 'Manga' but never paid attention to the nature or the origin of these shows (didn't even know what 'anime' or 'manga' meant then), till one day ( Summer 2013, yeah Ik I am pretty late to the party c:), I misclicked a video on Youtube that happened to be the first episode of an anime. I looked into it then made my first "conscious" steps into this field.
Other than the japanese culture, I am interested in Music (various genres), History, languages and sports.
I tend to drop animes/mangas quite a lot : the reason is mostly boredom or negative feelings towards the characters, doesn't mean I am impatient tho. When I feel that I was unfair dropping a series early on, I might give it another chance. However, I cannot watch/read what I can't enjoy or consider a waste of time for long.
Favorite genres/themes are : Thriller / Detective / Psychological / Drama (the serious kind of drama, not the angst over trivial matters) / Philosophical / Comedy /Romance (well it depends on a lot of other factors, to sum it up I dislike what they call instalove. I am genuinely interested in human relationships on a deeper level ) / Historical ...
To put it clearly, what makes me think, informative and has an impact on me personally , anything that reaches some kind of depth regarding the human nature, relationships or at least that portrays an aspect of reality and at the same time entertaining... I don't want this hobby to be a waste of time... But not all the shows I watch or enjoy fall into that category ^^'
Which I am not very proud of (the fact of being a fallen victim to some brainless shows ). However, to explain what seems like a contradiction between the taste and the consumption, I'd say that most of the time I'd resort to anime for entertainment being rather exhausted so I end up watching what might be delightful yet kind of superficial and silly.
I like to enjoy my favorite kind of shows while seriously thinking about the content, which unfortunately comes at rare occasions due to lack of time, motivation and laziness.
( oh look what a nice set of excuses, I am embarrassed lol)
I also can be fond of an anime out of my favorite categories... You never know what kind of taste some mixtures would give so the presence of the listed genres isn't necessary... For example Sci-fic and Fantasy aren't really my cup of tea, but some of my favourite shows include these genres... It's a matter of the manners of exhibition...
Any form of pornographic content, obviously without any further meaning or that is just clinging to an excuse of a plot, isn't what I'd waste my time seeing.
* I am more of a manga reader than an anime watcher.
*What I enjoy at times isn't what I'd call or rate as good (The endless typical conflict between reason and desire) also, I can be strongly subjective and at the same time I try to view things from different perspectives when rating/reviewing.
Disliking the characters affects my rating greatly and I generally follow MAL rating standards.
Feel free to send a friend request although I might not seem that friendly. I at times, may have a hard time conversing; I realised that it might seem rude to be somewhat withdrawn even though I can be truly interested in having a discussion thus I'll try to open up more.
- Thank you for visiting my profile and reading what's above-
Morbito is in line to be watched like the 377 other titles in my ptw list lol In all seriousness though, I've heard good things about it, with some referring to the main female MC as the medieval Major from GITS, which is a good thing in my book. I'll get to it eventually.
The trolls bring joy to my decrepit little heart and 91 Days opening is awesometacular. And like you said, TK has delivered time and time again. All of his anime openings become favorites to me.
Ahh, no problem. I just dislike having a list of people I don't even interact with. I figured the best way to avoid that would be to try to engage each other, heh.
Oh you're learning German, that's nice.
I like how you thought about looking up the German word for sword (or whatever it means in your original language if it's not English).
Japan seems kind of obsessed with German as well if you noticed that.
Yeah, no one has, it's one of the most obscure titles I've come across recently. I'd say it's more of a personal favorite for me than anything. I admire what it did.

I'm not French, no. Are you?

I guess you're not German then, or how did you get the username anyways?
It kinda looks like manhwa (korean) style but the artist is Japanese it seems.
She looks like she could be a fighter girl in http://myanimelist.net/manga/45275/Girls_of_the_Wilds
Somehow, coupled with your profile picture, it really sends shivers down my spine (although that might not've been intended).
Thank you for accepting!
What's up?
so I have a bunch of psychological anime series that I really enjoyed, but the three I'll recommend for now are
mawaru penguindrum
http://myanimelist.net/anime/10721/Mawaru_Penguindrum
the tatami galaxy
http://myanimelist.net/anime/7785/Yojouhan_Shinwa_Taikei?q=the%20tatami
serial experiments lain
http://myanimelist.net/anime/339/Serial_Experiments_Lain?q=serial
There are a bunch of others out there, but these tend to be 3 that the majority end up really liking a lot.
I would also suggest neon genesis evangelion, but opinions can be pretty split when it comes to it. I still recommend though :)
