Hi, I'm Arda4888!
I'm Arda, and I'm a Turkish guy who loves Visual Novels, Progressive Rock, Video Games and Music. I also like Manga and Anime too but I don't read/watch that much. Oh, and I also love everything about electronics and computers. They're my biggest enjoyment since the age of 4 (at least my mom says so).
I'm 17 years old and currently studying Japanese since I plan to live and go to University in Japan. I'm also studying game development and programming. I also plan to study Music Theory but we'll see how that will turn out.
--Japanese Progress--
I know Hiragana and Katakana pretty well. I also know a few Kanji but the thing I'm focused on right now is basic grammar.
Top 5 Greatest Bands/Singers of All Time:
1. Yes - They're a really, really good progressive rock band with some of the greatest songs ever recorded in a studio. (Their live shows are awesome too)
2. Erkin Koray - A Turkish Singer with some of the weirdest songs ever made in Turkish Music.
3. Barış Manço - One of the three people who made Turkish Rock actually listenable.
4. Jun Senoue - I love his guitar playing. But the reason I love him so much is well... Sonic the Hedgehog, of course! But I think that will be kind of an understatement. It's best to say that I love Sonic because of Jun Senoue and Sonic Adventure games' OST.
5. Crush 40 - It's just surreal to think that they made a band just for some blue hedgehog's music and it worked.
Top 3 Greatest Manga/Anime of All Time
1. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 8: JoJolion - It's certainly the series peak. It nails everything; the story, the fights, the characters. I just fail to see why someone would consider this part to be "bad".
2. One Piece - The Greatest story ever told. The story, the chracters and almost everthing about it is perfect. But I don't enjoy it as much as JoJo (though I still enjoy it to a great degree). So I have put it in the second place.
3. JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 4: Diamond is Unbreakable - Who would have guessed it? The guy who loves Part 8 also loves Part 4. The reasons why I love it are as the same as Part 8... Plus Yoshikage Kira, the greatest villian in JoJo.
Top 5 Greatest Games of All Time
1. Castlevania: Symphony of the Night (Genre: Metroidvania) - It's rare to see a genre defining game to be its best. But SOTN is the proof it can be done.
2. Dragon Quest 11 S: (Genre: J-RPG): Dragon Quest is a weird series. It defined a genre but then evolved minimally so most people said it was generic as hell. But now, because every J-RPG is so different than each other, DQ feels like a breath of fresh air. In short, play it.
3. Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (Genre: Visual Novel): One of the greatest pieces of fiction, ever. I really thank Shu Takumi from the bottom of my heart.
4. Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (Genre: 3D Platformer) - Best Sonic game ever. It'd be super cool to see a SA3 but it's best to enjoy what we already have.
5. Age of Empires 2 (Genre: Real Time Strategy) - Peak RTS game but one thing that really made me fall in love with this game at the time was Turkish voice acting. It was a first to me and would remain so until I played Uncharted 4 years later.

There's something that I don't like about car racing, but if the story is more than that I guess I'll try it in the future but in the meantime I'll try to finish these seasonal animes before I bite the dust, you know? Lmao.
