Hey, I am Rai. I am a lesbian otaku who loves anime, manga, reading, writing, and Pokemon. I am particularly obsessed with yuri, magical girls, and idols (especially idols).
I have a degree in Writing and am working on my Master's in Education. I run my own anime blog and am currently a news intern for Anime News Network.
Feel free to message me if you want to talk about anime, but I am not always active on here. If you want a fast reply, the best place to reach me is my Twitter (@pinkraichu).

Wow, really? Cool! :D And what kind of dog is it?
Yeah, it's the same for me! I watched Scrubs in Italian the first time and now I can't watch it in original language anymore.
Well, good for you ^^ As far as I'm concerned I loved the Satyricon and the De Rerum Natura, but I really hated translating Seneca and Cicerone ^^" And yes, they have many differencies but they also have many similarities.. I've never studied Spanish so I can't understand it when people is speaking, but I can at lelast read Spanish newspapers and understand enough of it
It seems pretty interesting! :) Good luck with your research! ;)
Well, those who don't know Coraline are just peasants after all.. let's ignore them v.v XD
About Coraline I really liked the animation and the music! I even tried to look up for the lyrics but it seems it's just gibberish ^^" (very well executed though ^^)
Ahahah I'll remember not to make you angry otherwise I may rouse you dark personality XD
My favourite one is Edward Scissohands.. it's just wonderful ^^
Well, happy to hear that :) I'm sure you'll find some time to get a little bit of dancing
Ahah, I fear I'm not into romance in general ^^" I prefer drama (who doesn't need more drama in his life? XD)
Anju is from the anime Karin (also known as Chibi Vampire) and she's just an adorable vampire ^~^ The manga gets to show a different side of her, too. I appreciate that.
Niko is from the recent anime Kiznaiver. I really like her style and her bubbly personality. The way she talks to the group and her serious points were nice.
I'm sure you know who Rika and L are. Those two are tied for #1 spot.
I fell in love with Rika's VA, so much so that I'm doing the Voice Actor/Actress Challenge and watching more of the anime she's been in.
Oh that's nice :) I like English as well and I used to write a lot.
Your education major. I think it's wonderful when people are passionate about teaching others.
In Italian he says "No, I don't want to die! There are still so many things I'd like to do.. I want to stay a little bit with them! Why can't I? You think I don't deserve it, isn't it so, Lord? I am too impudent to ask you to forgive someone like me.. and you're not merciful enough!" .. and then he dies. In English he says pretty much the same but at last, from "Why can't I.." on, he says something like "was everything I did in my life a mistake? Would I be wrong now to ask for your forgiveness? I don't wanna die this way!"
I don't know, in Italian is seems far more treagic to me.. he not only shows regret, but also anger and disappointment and frustration towards God in some way.. but maybe I prefer the first version just 'cause I watched Trigun in Italian first ^^
You took Latin in college??? O_O I really feel for you! XD Well, at least you can now understand that opening! As Italian it always seems kinda odd to me that Latin sounds almost like gibberish to a lot of English-speaking people ^^
Oh well, that's good for you! Don't read The Cursed Child, you would regret it! ^^"
And what is your research about?
And OH. MY. GOD!! Coraline and Pan's Labyrinth are two of my favourite movies ever!! I watched them many times, specially the first one! I love its soundtrack too ^^ I really like movies that seem "childish" but are indeed rather dark (that Pale Man.. O_o).
I bet you like Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride too!
Ok then, we got a deal! You'll make a little discount for a fellow anime lover, don't you? :D
Oh, I'm sorry to hear that.. have you recovered now?
By the way.. no, yuri no! v.v Xp
And talking about cuteness.. I've bought a puppy!!! He's so lively! And those little bites..
Yep, Trigun was so good. And when Wolfwood died.. it was one of the most intense episode ever.. in my language they changed Wolfowwod's last words a little bit but, oddly, it kinda improved the mood for once!
Ah, Nyuu.. what a little adorable nymphomaniac.. and potential serial killer too! ^^ I watched Elfen Lied lonng time ago, bit I've never forgotten the opening! So beautiful! I knew that the Lati learned in highschool would have turned useful somaday!! XD
Ohohoh!! Have you read it now? What do you think about it?
Yeah.. I just hope the economy gets better soon, otherwise I'll take in consideration to go abroad to look for a job :\
So you're interested in cinema! ^^ Which are you're favourite directors/movies?
Nooo, how? Well, never mind, you can learn any time! ;)
Perfect! I like to draw but I hate coloring.. we can make a deal! I'll send you my drawings to color! XD
O.o what happend if I may ask?
Nooo!! Yuri!! Ahahah I'll give it a look anyway ;)
Monogatari is a bit of a subversion of the harem genre (I'd never watch harem otherwise lol). The story is hard to describe though, it's rather all about the characters and the interactions between them. But if I had to put it into words, I'd say it's about "overcoming your inner monster (by accepting it?)" In any case, it's another great metaphorical series, but not as confusing as Mawaru and Yurikuma imo :'D
Really good and insightful, keep up the good work!
Also, Raichu best poké. Greetings
Ahahah just joking.. Don't worry, it happened to me too ^^ (MAL strikes again! XD)
No, I didn't know the existence of Fairy Type (please, don't hate me XD), but to me it makes perfectly sense that the big meany dragons have a weak spot for the cuteness XD I would have too!!
Ahahah Udine caput mundi! XD It isn't a crowded town tbh, it's quite wide so the biggest buildings around have just 4-5 floors at best.. it's quite liveable after all, just a bit boring sometimes ^^
Yeah, watch it, you won't regret it! Just stand firm for the first three episodes since it starts a bit slow.. but then it becomes wonderful!! ^^
You love Trigun!! O_O You must be a very good person then! And you cosplay too! ^^
Mmm.. I just know Nyuu and Usagi among those you mentioned! ^^" Nyuu despite her amnesia was the less crazy character of the bunch by far!! XD
Ah well, i believe that, NY is one of the biggest metropolis in the world after all!
Yes, and I liked it so much! ^^ And you? Have you watched it?
Well.. that's complicated to explain ^^" In short I'm studying to become an Health Inspector/Prevention Technician.. to be sure employees don't hurt themselves while working and empolyers respect safety regulations for their employee's safety sake ^^
About jobs.. well, it's a bit of a problem to get a proper job here in Italy now.. economic crisis hit quite hard here :( So I get by with anything I can find.. right now I'm also giving maths, phisics and chemistry reps to high school students.
Hobbies... I'm very keen on cinema (I love Kubrick most of all ^^.. bu also Eastwood, Tarantino, Leone, Burton, Fincher, Coen, Scorsese, Monicelli, Nolan.. and so forth..), tv series, anime (wow, unexpected! XD)
I also like to ride my bike form time to time when the weather lets me it (it's kinda rainy here -_-)
I try to draw (just trying, not very good at it at the moment XD but willing to improve! ^^), caribbean dance like salsa, bachata..
Ah, I was forgetting to mention I'M FOND of books!! So I'm looking forward to read your books when you'll be a worldwide famous novelist! ^^
Which are you favourite books/writers? :)
Wow, cool! I wish you the best with your job and your dream! ^^ And about your fanficitons I'm very curious.. can I read some of it? :)
Yeah, can you feel me, don't you? But I'll take my revenge on my brother sooner or later 3:)
Almost 100000 inhabitants.. sometimes I don't know if it's too much or too little XD Yeah, the festival is awesome! ^^ There are some eastern martial arts and dances exhibitions, ikebana shows and so forth.. and yes, I cosplay even though I've just made two super easy cosplays :)
The first one was kinda a flop tbh.. I made Rintaro Okabe from Steins;Gate.. all I needed were a lab coat and a banana.. but noone recognisez me XD Then I made a Wolfwood cosplay, from Trigun, with the cross and everything and it was so much fun! ^^
And what about you? Do you cosplay too?
Well, so it has its goods and its bads.. what about the anime events? And the stores? In my town there are just two anime shops, not a single one more!
Let's just pretend there is no 8th book at all v.v
At least he got his first kiss after thousands episodes XD
Yes, I've watched it but I think it lost some of its magic after the first season :/
Sharing my time beetwen part time jobs and grad school as you ^^ And some time for the hobbies too!
Omg, do you write?!? Brava! What are you writing right now? :)
And no, I really should have disowned him XD hundreds of hours of gaming puff! gone!
Yeah, it's a nice little town. Too little sometimes, we don't have many events or distractions.. it's also rather difficult to meet new people (we have a jone here, we say "it's always the same solitUdine" which in Italian stands for solitude XD
Anyway it has its goods.. we have, in May usually, a Far East Festival, with a Cosplay Contest too, which is a boon for Anime fan like us :)
Wooh! You live near Ney York!! I've always wanted to visit it!! And yeah, I heard about NJ, but since I've never been to the Usa I can't tell whether NJ is cool or not ^^ However in every country people like to mock their neighbours :)
Mmm. let's say the plot is not very original and some characters look out of character to me :\
Ahahah poor Ash, losing all the time! XD I even began to root for him later on in the series, but he's just helpless ^^
(It refused to follow Ash's orders and therefore he lost epically)
Ah ok, it's a pity when it happens (and it happens waay too much!) but often the writers run out of ideas (cough.. The walking Dead cough..) And about the ships.. I've even seen Harry-Malfoy ships!! O_O My eyes!! XD
What about you? What are you doing right now? :)
