MistressMorbid's Profile

Hey there, my name's Victoria (or Tori for short), but most of the time I go by the alias Mistress Morbid online.

My very first anime would have been My Neighbor Totoro which we found when I was just a kid. I fell in love with Miyazaki's style and continued to find other anime series to enjoy.

I can't really pinpoint my exact tastes now, it's quite varied. Things that normally wouldn't seem like something I'd enjoy turn out being some of my favourites, and vice versa. For instance, I used to hate Mecha shows but now I've become quite fond of a lot of them. And although I'm not really into gushy romance, I find myself loving many of those genre of shows. Let's see, in general I love any Samurai based shows, or those set in medieval Japan. I also really love gory, violent, bloody stuff. At the same time I'll admit to being a sucker for some of the sentimental ones like Fruits Basket and Kanon. Like I said...really varied. xD

For the most part I've come to prefer the original Japanese audio to dubbed. I'm not saying that to seem like an elitist or anything, I just find Japanese voice actors put so much more emotion and depth into their characters. I do like a few english dubs, the ones that are done well are really amazing, though they seem to be few and far between. It seems to me that more and more dubbing companies are putting money before passion, leading to mediocre dubs. I find that some of the older shows have amazing english dubs because back then it wasn't about the revenue (since anime wasn't so popular). They were doing it because they loved to, and that really shows in their voice acting. The more popular anime becomes, the more American companies rush through the job just to crank them out one after another. Well, that's my opinion anyways.

Basically the majority of the shows I watch are subbed. Usually the original is the best, but I've come across some spectacular English dubs, so I can go either way.

I don't have too many manga series right now, though I am working on my collection.

I suppose that's everything you need to know about me. Another point that's probably pretty obvious is I'm a Sesshoumaru devotee. ;D I guess you could call him my first anime love, haha. It's my goal to get as many claims as I can for him in various clubs. :)
