I’ve been watching anime since I was about 5 years old. Even as a child I already preferred it to cartoons because of its deep and compelling themes that the latter usually lacks. (Thankfully, there are more cartoons nowadays with depth compared to the ones that came out when I was young.)
I watch almost all kinds of anime, but I’m rather fond of shoujo series, although there has never been a shoujo anime that captivated me in the same way that other genres have.
My most loved series is Rurouni Kenshin. While some parts of the first season and all of the later episodes are uninteresting fillers with disappointingly mediocre villains, I can’t bring myself to give it a lower rating because of Kyoto arc. The brilliant story of Kyoto arc, its memorable and intriguing characters along with superb background music, make it a true masterpiece. I can watch that it again and again and still get chills down my spine.
My favourite characters
Sunako Nakahara and Kyon are two of my most favourite characters. I like Kyon’s perpetually exasperated look and his witty and amusing commentaries. His passiveness and detached disposition are also charming.
What I find appealing about Sunako is her mysterious ghostly beauty, kind-hearted nature, exceptional fighting and cooking skills, and incredible eccentricity. Her nosebleeds irritate me though. Nevertheless, to me, she is one of the most unique and unforgettable anime characters ever conceived.

I haven't really been watching many realllly good new series lately, it seems that most of the series this season are merely over average at best. Some are pretty cool, like Phantom and Higashi no Eden, but meh.
Talk to you later on, then. :>
Best regards. :)
Anyways, mmm, yeah Skip Beat was good. But no, I haven't read the manga. :o Should I? I do expect the 2nd season of anime eagerly though. :)
On another note, how've ya been?
My favorite Dumas books at this moment is Ascanio. It's not such a popular book so I was amazed how good it was. But Dumas has so many brilliant books, so I'm sure I'll have a new favorite soon.
Yeah, they're making a movie adaptation of The Hobbit. IMDB says it's airing in 2012. Can't wait!
I heard they're planning to make a prequel to LOTR. What do you think? When I think about it and I know all the characters that I love aren't going to show up I don't even want to see it, but I'm almost sure I'll become addicted to it anyway ahah
