MagicalEmi's Profile

I like anime (obviously). I have been watching anime for 17 years. Longer, if you count stuff I watched as a kid before I knew it was actually anime. I have been going to anime cons for 12 years (the cons I have been to include: Anime Expo, Project A-kon, Fanime, Yaoicon, Anime Central, Otakon, AnimeFEST, Ushicon, Comiket) I have been collecting manga (in Japanese) for 10 years. I love shoujo/romance anime, Ghibli films, and World Masterpiece Theater anime, but I also enjoy most shounen subgenres- mecha, sci-fi, tournament-fighting, adventure, slice-of-life, etc. I am not too keen on harem series based on ero video games, but I have even occasionally enjoyed a couple of those. I keep up with new series, but also love 90's series and I love old series from the 70's and 80's. Thanks to the wonderful, wonderful world of NicoVideo, I am finally able to watch a lot of the old obscure stuff. *_*



Most of my manga is legitimate purchases of the actual volumes instead of scanlations. I pretty much only buy import manga in Japanese from places like Kinokuniya, BK1 and Book-Off. I have been to Japan a few times, and bought some there too. (stupid airline luggage weight restrictions though...) So far, my collection is at 3200 volumes and counting, but my list for it always seems to be a few hundred out of date. I really want to add it all to the database here (most of it is not listed here...) and I am trying to do it, but I have, like, 1000 more titles to add that aren't in the database, so it is gonna take a while. Even it is still incomplete -_-; I was recently made a manga moderator, which has made my life easier when it comes to adding titles to the database :D Slowly I will get it all added!

A chunk of my collection can be seen HERE, and an old photo of it all is HERE and some more HERE. More has been added since these photos though @_@.

I have been trying to use other online list options, and have had reasonably good luck testing out GoodReads, and even better luck with aNobii. But I don't like the editing and display features there.

After much effort, I FINALLY got most of my list to import into LibraryThing. I think I like it the best, in terms of editing features. Now that I got my list in there, my only quibble about the site is that I hate the color scheme. The site is functional, but UGLY ^_^;; Now begins the task of slowly adding all the missing covers.



I love dramas! I have been watching Asian dramas for 10 years now. I wish MAL would start an Asian drama section ;_;

I also love Hong Kong movies (I have seen Andy Lau, Nicholas Tse, Sammi Cheng, etc. live in concert even, lol) and am just starting to get into other Asian cinema.

My Drama List can be found at https://drama.dabbledb.com/page/drama/rOvsrVqb

I like romantic happy dramas. Romantic comedies are great. Some favorites include It Started With a Kiss (Taiwan), Hana-Kimi (Taiwan), My Girl (Korea), My Lovely Sam-Soon (Korea), Long Vacation (Japan), Coffee Prince (Korea), Hello My Teacher (Korea), Hana Yori Dango (Japan), With Love (Japan)

I also love making anime or drama fan pages, such as the ones below. I enjoy making the pages from scratch. The only one that uses a blog format (wordpress) is the shoujo manga page. Whenever an anime, manga, or drama series really makes an impression on me, I feel inspired to spread the love, so I make a fan site for it. I prefer to make sites for series that don't already have a bunch of sites devoted to them. As you can see, some of the design styles of my sites are rather old =_= I really need to update the layouts. But still, considering I have kept these sites up and have managed to more or less maintain them for more than 10 years, I feel a tiny bit proud :) Some of these sites (in particular the magical girls page) are currently being revamped. I am almost done redesigning andupdating it. Do people not make anime fansites anymore? I remember everyone was making them like, 6 years ago. I think Wikipedia has killed off the anime fansite ;_;

Here they are:


I am an artist and also have a stupid webcomic or two.

I made one of those silly Caramelldansen videos featuring two of my webcomic characters. It can be seen HERE

I also made a Caramelldansen video featuring some characters from the Hana Yori Dango anime. ^_^;




Here are my favorite anime opening and closing songs. I am adding/changing this list all the time :)
