Age: twenty six years old History: I started watching anime while I was still a kid, in the late 80s, early 90s I think. 80s-90s were the golden years of kid TV in France, since a lot of Japanese animation was authorized on public TV channel. Dorothée was the most famous person of those years, because a lot of the Japanese animation was presented by her.
The most popular anime I have in mind are Dragon Ball, Nicky Larson, Olive et Tom, Ranma ½, Les chevaliers du Zodiaque, Nadia et le secret de l'eau bleue, etc... I used the French name that's why some may seem weird to you. For more reference (in French) click here.
Along with anime, I was also addicted by video games for a very long time. When I was around 18, I slowed down about everything and focused on study, and had some hard work. That's when I also started reading manga, because you can bring them everywhere. Now: I'm still hooked with anime, manga and video games, and I'm selling video games. I'm also a fan of US TV Show, and a fairly new fan of J-Drama. Unfortunately time goes too fast, so it's hard for me to keep up with everything.
I hope you got a nap after that not-sleeping :P I usually stay up really late, but that's because I'm not going to my 8 o'clock classes yet :3 Maybe in a few days I'll start to attend...
I'm just about to finish Phantom and since the Ein came back and/or Cal was introduced I lost hope for the anime so I know it's going to be a bad end :) Thanks for the warning though~ Let's bash it together ^_^
Yeah Gintama! Once I've seen a few more anime I might get back on track with it... and yeah some episodes are hilarious and you can talk about them for ages afterward and still laugh, and some are just so-so... ^^
Umineko? Pshh... it's getting on my nerves. Could definitely be a 13 episode thing, but noooo it has to be 26 ~_~
Uhm... I'm really not the one to make recommendations... I was hoping you could give me some! :P If I see or remember anything good I'll tell you ^_~
My Ramadan went really well! I think it went too fast :( But I had a great time and I'm not missing fasting because I'm doing some extra to get extra reward :) It's really easy!
How's your job? Glad to see you're still watching anime ^^ Gintama still good? I haven't reached episode 50 yet :)
My uni doesn't start till next week... and I'm moving house so I'm kinda busy :/ ... I hate moving. :P
yeah that time when MAL kinda shut down, I had 6000 friend requests. But you know, we were never friends :( But I'm glad we are now ^___^
Wow so you're having a great summer! That's cool you've got a break coming up. I'm surprised I didn't see any anime watching included in your Things To Do :P But you are going to watch some right? Have a great time~~~
lol, so many 'butt parts' in Gintama... I don't think it was really boring ever, but just like... so much shouting and stupid moments it comes to a point where you don't laugh. But I still think it's one of the funniest anime ever :P :D hahaha. You can tell who my favourite character is so far right ^____~
:o Yup! Ramadan is in maybe four days! I can't wait, I'm really excited and ready to do as many good deeds as I can ^___^ Fasting is really easy you know :P And there are plenty of health benefits as well :P I won't watch anime at all during this month because I want to focus on worshipping God and reading the Holy Quran :)
my summer was good. It went by REALLY fast because I was working, my first job. I taught English at a language centre to kids in the morning and adults in the evening. I just finished my adults course yesterday and I still have so much chocolate cake left over :P It was an okay summer :)
I agree about Tokyo Magnitude... I don't think I'll give it a 10, but I LOVE IT ^.^ Mirai is getting soooo annoying, but that's to be expected :P
Hahaha, yesterday I was trying to search for you, but I couldn't remember your username exactly. I kept searching, Gerof and stuff :P
Coincidence ^_ ~
Yeah! Gintama is pretty hilarious. The butt hole jokes are kinda getting annoying though >.> I mean every episode I've watched lately has had someone stabbed in their butt, or kicked or something... *sigh* I hate butt hole jokes , ew.
So how are you! Enjoying the summer? Do you still have to work?
lol... Gintama made you forget about what you were doing~
I would love to suggest an idea for your sig but you're so creative and amazing I can't. If you finally decide on what kind of picture you'd like to pick, maybe I have a good one so ask me then ^o^~
Haha, that's cool that you knew coucoucircus from before. I don't know why but coucou reminds me of the food, couscous... have you eaten it before? It's Moroccan I think... ~
You know I just have to take your word for it. If you say Gintama is good then it's good. If you say it's funny then it must be funny!! =) I'll check it out before May, promise ~ =D
And I love it when I have an anime that will cheer me up ^_^
You play games as well??? =D Haha no wonder you have no time! I don't play games, I don't watch drama, I don't watch TV and I hardly get to watch anime and I have noooooo time. Maybe because I have a full university schedule and I got a tutoring job after uni aaaand I go to evening classes for Arabic =P
Supernatural! I liked it. Sometimes it wasn't that good... or like... you know, GOOD... but for me?? The guys are hott so I was like whooo~! I've only watched the first season and there was one episode that was soooooo scary; I was screaming the whole time. It was when they went to an abandoned mental institution!! So scarrrryyyy!! The ending was good though. The series ending was NOT good.
Okay thanks a lot... I'll send you a message about my list now ^_^
Aw man! I hate it when I lose messages/emails! Why did you press refresh :P!
Are you going to change your sig? Any ideas? I know... you're busy... but still! =) Tell me~
Yeaaah! When I found that site I was like Wowwww this is so cool! And it's not so entirely in French that I can't understand :P Did you know the site before??
=o So I guess you really love Gintama! 50+ episodes already! Wow! And everyone is great??? = / .... maybe I should start it.... but it's sooooo loooong! Uff! I have to finish a few anime first... then I'll start :D Ok? There you go... I said I'll start Gintama... =) Oh yeah I have to watch Clannad as well =n=... I don't want to...
Yeah Jdrama is nice... different from Western tv definitely but no I don't watch drama... I've watched like......... in total? 9 episodes of three different dramas. My best friends went drama crazy on me =( but I can't leave anime!
^_^ Yeah start One Outs whenever you can... it gets better after the 4th episode. ^^
Oh... I asked someone to help me with it, but I still hate the way it looks =( I can send you a message with my code ? Is that okay? Aiieee you're so kind =3
Whoa that's so long! Hahaha... your sig is SO OLD :D
*sigh*... really... why did the anime makers have to make Balsa and Tanda so... far apart? But the anime was still really great. I think I already told you but I just LOVED the setting...it made me want to watch more 'historical' anime... Here listen to this. My favourite!
Sorry to hear you're under some stress! Hopefully everything will sort it self out and you'll be really fine then ^__^ I hate boring problems :P
When I saw One Outs come out I thought noooo I can't start it because my Watching List is still so huge and I need to finish before I can start new anime. So I didn't watch it for ages, but then I finished a few anime and now I'm watching One Outs, yay!
You watch Jdrama as well as everything else?? Haha, no wonder you have no time :)
Wow I couldn't watch Gintama but lots of people have told me to give it another try... I don't know why I don't want to, but... maybe one day...
=( I was trying to fix my list to make it ... nice... but... I messed it up so it's private till I can get some help.
Oh... didn't know your sig was old already :P! How long have you had it up? I've had mine for maybe more than two weeks? I feel it's soooo old :P
But I thought you loved Balsa not saying things?? :P I thought she was really beautiful but she was just like... soooo stupid in the romance department. =.=.... well I know Seirei no Moribito isn't a romance anime but isn't it just human nature?????? T~T Poor Tanda.
:) Aw thanks it's okay... I think I'll have to beg someone with good internet to download 12 Kingdoms for me :)
You only 'guess' you're fine?
I'm fine... and I'm not guessing :D Nope, no exams. I just got a job! I tutor some kids... but I get money so I'm happy... haven't got any yet though >o>
Love your new sig ^o^ It's really nice. Love the font ^^
Sorry it took me a long time to reply T.T
I haven't watch Honey x Clover still. I'm going to try and get used to the whole Morita and Hagu thing before I start again.... >< But yeah sometimes it's so hilarious :D Good show I guess... I just wanted to like it more :P
Btw what was Balsa's weak point? Chagum? Chagum was adorable <3 like Tanda <3 ^o^ I really loved the sound track to Seirei no Moritbito. And some of the hunter dudes... you know, Mon, Jin... ? Anyway :D
I really want to watch Twelve Kingdoms! I just want to finish it! But I can't find a good place online to watch it =(
Lol
Hi
ok my real name is Fabian,one of my friends from school always called me Fabienne.
As I registered at Mal,the Name came into my mind,so there's nothing special with that
It sounds a little bit french doesn't it XD
cu Fabienne
Aw I'm really not enjoying Honey x Clover =( oh it's your top fav anime : / I wanted to enjoy it but once I get an idea in my head it's hard to change. See, I thought: omg Morita and Yamada... = <3! ...And I hate the idea of Morita and Hagu, but... ah anyway I'll try not to think about that when I watch it =)
I finished Seirei no Moribito last week, loved it. I couldn't stand Balsa though. It seemed her favourite thing was to leave things unsaid T_T
Uwaaa, désolée de la réponse tardive ! Tain ça fait un mois que je me suis pas connectée D: Même maintenant que je suis en vacances, j'ai encore des choses à faire (bac blanc à la rentrée, concours à préparer, code de la route... j'en ai marre ._.)
Alors oui je joue à Eternal Sonata, enfin je l'ai fini depuis quelques semaines maintenant (une trentaine d'heures de jeu, mais si t'es plus doué que moi tu peux le finir en 20 heures). J'ai beaucoup aimé, le chara design est sympa je trouve, les décors sont splendides et l'histoire tient la route (quoique la fin est un peu bizarre mais à force de regarder des anime très wtf, je fais même plus attention à ce genre de détails xD); par contre les combats sont assez répétitifs. Après c'est juste mon avis et il vaut pas grand chose car c'est mon premier "vrai" RPG haha ~ Faut dire que je joue pas énormément aux jeux vidéo .. Blue Dragon ? C'est vrai que ça a l'air assez sympa !
Ah oui, Seirei no Moribito ! J'avais vu quelques screens et lu quelques avis et ça m'avait l'air bien sympa :D Bon si tu le dis, je vais le mettre en prioritaire ^^
Haha, t'as l'air d'avoir vachement accroché à Aria finalement ! Je vois ce que tu veux dire, j'ai aussi eu des anime que j'ai eu du mal à finir parce que je voulais pas ne plus avoir d'épisodes à regarder. Bon celui là aussi je le met sur ma watch list prioritaire :3
Sinon mon anime du moment c'est vraiment Gundam 00. Il y a quelques mois j'avais regardé les 2 premiers épisodes et .. bof quoi, je comprenais pas trop et j'accrochais pas. Puis j'ai recommencé ya pas longtemps et ... voilà que je me fait la première saison en quelques jours D: C'est bizarre, l'anime en lui même n'est pas extraordinaire mais voilà, j'adore. Ca m'a fait un peu le même effet que Code Geass (bon c'est le même studio aussi ..). Enfin Code Geass a un scénario beaucoup plus wtf ... il est pas sur ta liste, tu devrais essayer ! M'enfin Code Geass je pense qu'on aime ou on aime pas, donc je promet rien :p
Et oui, DMC était super, un peu lourd parfois mais vraiment sympa ! Faudrais que je lise le manga un de ces jours ~
Tu as commencé Kurenai ? T'as aimé ? Je me souviens avoir bien accroché ~ C'est une bonne série, même si elle est un peu précipitée sur la fin, imho.
Puis voilà .. ces derniers temps j'ai aussi regardé quelques séries US (Dr House et Dexter). Tu connais Dexter ? J'adore ~
Haha, j'espère que la reprise (ouais, y'a un moment déjà D:) n'a pas été trop dure ! Allez, a+!
I found your "review" very interesting, I must say. In fact, I love slice of life too, so I'm really interested. I'm still a (university) student, but I know when it's hard to find a job, because my boyfriend had been in the same situation too. If that feeling (nostalgia) is a key word in "Sing Yesterday", perhaps I'll try then. I love when I feel something like that when I read a manga (that happened when I read Honey and Clover too). And although I like some shoujo romances, I kinda appreciate when I'm faced with a complex love.
Thanks for your very good explanation, that really helped me :)
Oh, thankyou! I like English very much, though I have many mangas in French :P In Portugal there are many french mangas, much more than english, but unfortunatly I can't speak/write anything in french, because I learned English for 7 years and French for only 3 years.
I came to see your profile and I noticed your favourite anime and characters. Balsa is indeed a wonderful character, and Seirei no Moribito one of the best anime shows that I've ever seen. And Honey and Clover is just a masterpiece.
However, I saw "Yesterday wo Utatte" on your favourite manga. I wanted to read it a long time ago, but I've never had the chance to do it. Is it really good? Would you recommend it?
