Hi, I'm Liz
General nerd and fairly odd person
Have been fascinated with anime since "Thunderbirds 2086" and "Akira" - I still ardently watch Cartoon Network. I love all genres; dark, intellectual stuff, science-fiction and fantasy. Stylistically original works also appeal to my animation nerd. ^_^
Am also partial to mecha, and would one day like to pilot my own Patlabor or Gundam or maybe an actual Macross; though that would require a crew. Insane comedies make my day.
I try to avoid harem shows, or shows that take the 'moe' and 'tsundere' stuff too far. But am recently trying to get over my stupidity regarding shoujo romcom as a shallow genre - yay broadened horizons!
I read a lot of manga. My favourite genre is the 'yaoi/ Boy's Love'. Favourite mangaka are Fuwa Shinri, Takanaga Hinako, Yamane Ayano and Fujiyama Hyouta XD I'm currently trying to update my manga list, but that's somewhat like cataloguing my library - completely impossible.
For shounen my fav mangaka is Kubo Tite (Bleach) - who I love and hate and generally worship. Sorachi Hideaki (GinTama) has also become a recent fav.
On the western shores, my fav animators are Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack, Dexter's Lab, Star Wars: Clone Wars) and Matt Stone & Trey Parker (South Park)
I'm addicted to Adult Swim and love "Metalocalypse", "Robot Chicken", "Boondocks" and "Aqua Teens Hunger Force". And OMG! "Gravity Falls" is hilarious.
Love comics as well and am a fan of "The Walking Dead", "Sandman" (anything Neil Gaiman), "Lucifer" and "Deadpool"
TV wise I really love "Supernatural", "Lost Girl", "Sherlock", "The Following" - <3 (a lot of BBC supernatural shows and comedies)
When my brain isn't fried from all of that, I enjoy reading and music ( am slightly addicted to last.fm).

Hey thanks for the comment! I'm glad you like them. I also have some good news for you. Right now I am just finishing up re-watching KKM (I'm on episode 91) and I'm going to be re-releasing my story Why Ninjas and Sexy Women Got Me Hitched, with (hopefully) improved grammar and sentence structure and whole new content in each chapter! Since you are not a member of FFN I will comment here again when they have been posted.

Yep we have similar tastes, i had a hunch in anime discussions, but when you liked hatarki man i knew it :' D
Seriously i dont understand why people liked trinity blood :/
You have 12 kingdoms as your favorite n.n I really love that anime so unique and the music was too beautiful <3 Too bad they didnt complete it :(
You also have Yoko kanno as your fav yayy n.n i love her and her classy sense of music! I presume we both love classy elegant stuff ~
Ummm, kenshin i dont know seemed like it would never progress from saving people and showing kenshin's true story, i dont know if i will pick it : O
And I checked your list and i saw that you dropped Kingdom *shock*, kingdom is amazing leaving out the animation! You want something similar to 12 kingdoms this is def it! Very recommended *burn*
And once again im glad we share more things ^^ I loved chrono cross and yes that is kid : D im trying to get my hands on the version for PS3 but is only available for japan and US stores >.>

Ahahaha. Yeah, Mei was awful and vapid, but I actually think she got a lot better after being completely pathetic in episode 8. I loved the sensitivity of this series, even though I didn't always love the lead pairing. It felt as though the author were writing from experience and it was beautifully crafted in certain areas. I did often wish Mei would man the fuck up, though. ahahaha. Maybe near the end they got it right.
GTO worries me because I'm a teacher. I sort of scared to try it.
I think Kamisama is complete fluff. like cotton candy. No substance, but yummy for a moment. I am always entertained if sometimes annoyed with it.
It's a shame to hear Getbackers isn't good. I know a friend who loves it, for some reason.
Beelzebub is funny, but damn, I wish that kid would put on a diaper. ahahah.
You know what? I want some weird recs. Tell me five shows I should watch ASAP, oh wise one. I need to feel things and I'm also TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT. XD The files in my computer all seem unappealing at the moment. I am enjoying Saiunkoku monogatari, however. It's smarter than you'd think and I love the female lead. She's great.
Happy Holidays, Liz!

hope to send you a proper reply soon, dearie. I've been out with flu/food poisoning. In the meantime, Happy Holidays! May Santa provide you with better female protagonists in romantic comedies. XD

its always fun to discuses anime ^_^ .
my mistake you've dropped fate\stay night not fate\zero , they are really different .
fate\zero is 59999999999% better than fate\stay night , don't want to spoil anything , but really you should check fate\zero . fate\zero doesn't have harem , and no fanservice at all *just one naked muscle guy at the end lol * ,and the MC is the truly definition of anti hero type , dark and strong and do anything in order to win "even if meant to sacrifice his closest person " . fate\zero superior in term of story , action ,sound and the graphic . try to give it a try ,i guarantee first 2 episode you are going to get hooked " if you are into those type of anime, of course " .
i agree on your thought of fate\stay night , it was terribly animated . one of worst MC ,and they totally ruined sabre personality from fate\zero " which is a prequel" though in fate\stay night she is more feminine than in fate\zero .
i loved slam dunk ,if we are still in 90s~ i would have giving it 10\10 , reason i gave it 6\10 , because of terrible sound\VA\graphic compared to nowadays "but its made in 90s and was my favorite anime when i was younger " . if i had to gave it a score from my personal enjoyment i would give it 9\10 "because of the open ending which kinda ruined the mood for me " .
i wish they repick slam dunk and animate the new arcs "which was amazing in the manga"
so really i don't think our tastes really differ that much .the only way to differ from my taste is being a pro shounen watcher " my most hated genre " . i kinda look for reality\character in anime . psychological and romance comes as top of my favorite genre " but i really think the romance in anime really weak , i love reading romance books\light novel ,but when a romantic LN get translated into an anime , they focus on comedy side and ignore character development *looking at kokoro connect* " .

well yea sure ,
but just in case , i consider 510 is average , "it used to be 8/10 , but now i think 5 is better" .
so if you have an anime you rated 810 because its good , its going to have the rate of 5 in my list , that doesn't mean i think its bad , but i think there is better anime out there .
i took a quick look to your mal :
SAO 1010 , well honestly i think SAO is pretty mediocre, does have alot of hype , but it always fail to deliver what we want to watch , they started to focus on fanservice and harem , alot of plot holes , character feel so plain , and idiotic "talking anime version" . as long as the characters are good and interesting the anime gets at least 3 marks in my scores , but if they aren't i can't bring my self to like it , which brings me to :
Code breaker 910 , the main character sakura ,annoys the hell out of me , her self rightous self is so absurd , with idiotic way of thinking , she lives in her fairy world ,did i mention her voice? ah yea .i feel "naruto" character would fit her alot more . now that sakura , her parents are even more annoying&unrealistic , the story it self so cliche , and anime original filler just make it worst ,even the powers are cliche .
Kamisama Hajimemashita 710 . honestly at first i liked the anime , started to hate it around episode 8 , when that brat started to talk about love . i really felt like watching something made for pre-teens girls , they made high schooler personality just like elementary kids , both males and female .the main character really bad , not sure about japan culture , but well GIRLS DOES HAVE BRAINWILL POWER, she relays on her white knight way too much , and doesn't mind what it might cost her "be it 40 years of her life ,or even her life " . when she tried to suicide because he rejected her , i almost wanted to drop it . did i mention her "friends" without any backstory , they just showed up at episode 6~? without any warring and now they are best friends?
the anime it self a romantic comedy , which cut it few more complains , but it chose wrong time to air when tonari out there. so one can't help but dislike it a bit " tonari really that good"
other watching anime i quiet agree to your list " i was surprised you ranked Sukitte Ii na yo as i did , i thought you were fan of it , glad to see even a fan can see how the characters connections doesn't feel real at all "
as for completed series , you do over rate a bit ^_^ , even though i can't disagree on many anime , but i think you gave them more credit than they deserve " example baka to test"
maybe fatezero is something i would disccues for why you not liking it , sure its not a master piece but rating it 110 O,O . would love to hear your opinion of it"that being said , fatezero is more a boyish anime , especially for fans like me who like historical characters"
long message sorry ^_^.

Hmm. Well I wasn't overwhelmed or smitten by Fate/Zero, although it was beautiful to look at. My biggest problem was that the two female leads are actually hte most tedious characters, and the villains were way more interesting. That's never a good sign, considering whose most likely to survive in a series...ahaha.
Nana is serious but it's beautiful in its realness. I don't know what to say about it other than it cut me real deep. ahahaha. It felt so close to home and life. I was really taken in by it.
I agree that Kamisama Hajimashite is starting to succumb to Twilight syndrome. And how much god-work does the girl actualyl do? Like, none. I don't need flimsy female leads who seem to get all the love for no reason.
It is common in Asian melodrama. Has a lot to do with kawaii culture. It's huge in Taiwan, too, and it drives me crazy because I'm frankly a pretty independent woman. My boots were made for walkin', yo. XD
Glass..Mask? I am always amazed by your tendency to name shows I've never heard of. Right now I'm almost finished with Le Chevalier D'eon, which I think is really interesting and just a near-miss from being a masterpiece. It's a bit slow in parts, but fascinating and beautifully rendered. Production IG knows how to do it.
You know, I could do with some gentle-ness. Kimi to Boku moves up the list a few places. ahahaha. And you compared it to Natsume...sold.
How is your Kamisama rage now, two weeks later? :p

Gintama BL? Bless you, Liz. XD
Yeah, I really think American voice actors put their all into it now. And a lot of the current good ones have long been anime fans themselves - and this is their dream job, you know? I know Greg Ayres was the biggest otaku before he even considered being a voice actor. I love meeting these folks at conventions because most of them genuinely seem to love it all. They're as geeky as any of the audience, which means they don't half-ass it at all.
4Kids is like...stoned, or something. but they're such a delightful joke now!
Kimi ni Todoke is sooooo chill. I can see where you're coming from. I think an investment in the show depends on how infatuated you let yourself become with the damn couple shenanigans. I have been lonely lately...I was taken in! And there's not denying that the lead dude is a fox. An anime fox (not like kamisama hajimemashita, ahahaha, or Spice and Wolf, ahaha)
Paradise Kiss is by the same author as Nana, right? And Nana is genius and all too real. SO I'll move it up the list.
So do you recommend Kimi to Boku? All the girls here in Taipei crossplay it. And what about Skip Beat? Someone told me never to watch K-On!
Anyhow, back to Fate/Zero. Analyzing what the fuss is all about, ahaha.

What the heck is Kaleido Star? You always help me expand my anime horizons, Liz. XD
And you're right. Some American voice actors don't take anime seriously, or at least they didn't used to. I've noticed that a lot of older dubs sound almost lazy and cheesy - like the actors didn't actually care what they were saying because they figured no one important would ever watch anime. Since then anime has become pretty damn lucrative and the actors take it pretty damn seriously. Dubs on the whole have really improved in recent years, if you ask me.
K is so...hit and miss. Mostly miss. But I still ahven't droped it. Ixion DT is pretty funny. It's a great antidote to SAO, if you ask me. People take that show so seriously that I want to slap them silly. ahahahah
Kamichu? *googles* Well, anything with Ghibli-seasoning is worthwhile. I'll try to get into it.
Sometimes a good cry is all you need. That's why I love watching emotional shit on a regular basis. And why I watch romances, despite being a very unromantic loner irl. XD So I think I'll go marathon Kimi ne Todoke next, because it's so shoujo that it hurts. And also adorable.

Ah! Yeah, I can see how you'd think of "Equilibrium." But where is Christian Bale/Howl? IMAGINE THIS SERIES IF HOWL WAS IN IT. *fangirl squeal*
Yeah, still lovin' Magi. You know, when I saw the ads for it I felt rather "meh." But now it's the show I look forward to most. Might have to cheat and read the manga. :p It's almost impossibly endearing...I love the two leads equally, which is rare, too. And the girl has gusto.
Ahaha, I commiserate with you regarding Temest and From the New World. They both have great promise, and they might be made for marathoning. Some shows lose something if you watch them week by week...like, you hate to forget details.
Blech. SAO is as annoying as it is sometimes entertaining. It seems a bit chauvinistic to me, honestly, and people act like it's the second coming or something. It's like how Ao No Exorcist was...except I really liked Ao No and didn't care about the haters...and this time I'm a hater. ahahaha. Maybe if SAO had bromance, right?
K is...I don't know what the hell the writers are doing. That whole episode was people running around (sometimes naked) and shit. I'll give it another week or so, I guess. Cuteness can only take you so far!
Obviously we otaku girls are perfect! What are you implying?! XD
God, I fear the Moe apocalypse. But I fear that the armies will be led by annoying, pouting goth-lolis. SAVE US.

Yeah, SPN was alllll over the place last season, wasn't it? I mean, they need to actually COMMIT when they kill folks, or the kill loses impact. By the time Bobby was triple-dead for realsies I could hardly feel a thing.
Ahahaha. Alexander Skarsgard is sort of shrine-worthy, so I understand that compulsion. But he'll always just be Eric to me.
See, the thing is - I love weird humor. But it's best accompanied by a bit more depth, I think. So though I appreciated Arakawa I couldn't really fall in love with it. It certainly made me laugh, though, and props for that.
Still enjoying Shensekai Yori and I think Tempest is hitting its stride (I smell an epic if they don't fuck it up, eh?). K is blowin' it hard, but I'm actually enjoying the overwhelming Shoujo-ness of Kamisama Hajimashita, ahahah. Otherwise the ones to watch this season (for my part) seem to be My Little Monster, Magi (how fun was that premiere?!), and Bakuman 3. Did you watch Sukitte Ii na yo? I think it looks better than it feels. And I think Psycho-Pass has promise...mostly because it feels like Blade Runner and I'm still and forever a sucker for dystopian futures. :D
What the hell is Noizaka Haruka no Himitsu and why are you using it to commit suicide? XD

Alright, alright. I'll agree with you - Nodame is like a lighthearted breath of air. I wasn't expecting it to be so fun and carefree. Very nice, often beautiful. Thanks for pushin' that one up my list. :p It's made me want to practice my flute again, because it's been a few years and it seems so silly to have studied an art for a decade or more..only to stop for no reason.
You know, it's nice to hear someone be honest about Tari Tari. I think people were just getting wrapped up in the drama of it, but the parts I saw seemed overdone.
Speaking of overdone - K. Oh, K. People are flippin' tumblr-shits over it, but man, does that show try too hard. Hopefully they remember to put some PLOT in the next new episode. But I would say that this doesn't seem like a bad fall season by any means!
I did quite like Tempest - I think it accomplished quite a lot in the first episode and somehow wasn't convoluted. And BONES never lets us down, animation-wise. My one complaint so far? The protags need to become a bit more lovable. It's a bit too aloof, but I'm looking forward to more!
Did you watch Shinsekai Yori? I think it has amazing potential...and it just feels different. Like Dennou Coil, or something. I'm quite happy about it.
I think the biggest surprise so far this season was how much I enjoyed the offbeat, weird pilot of My Little Monster. Imagine if the two leads in Tempest had that kind of personality - I think that would be amazing. I think this season is full of great elements, and we'll have to wait and see which shows can deliver on it all.
Yes, Chitanda was annoying to the extreme and Oreki was a studmuffin. Can't win them all, eh?
Wow. I didn't know about the Kokoro controversy, and that sucks. And honestly - Kokoro kinda lost its footing in the most recent arc, which is a shame. Just sorta feels like my interest is waning and they keep pulling all their potential plot-punches. A character should die, frankly. ahahah.
I wanted to love Arakaway Under the Bridge and it just didn't quite do it for me. I've realized that as much as Shinbou Akiyuki is an amazing director and people love him, I have a serious emotional disconnect with all his shows (excepting Madoka.) I just don't FEEL enough when I watch his series, and they come across as pretentious because I can't feel invested enough. I don't know why it is; it's like the opposite of how I feel a out Takahiro Omori and all his work (every show he puts out somehow becomes a favorite even before I know whether he has to do with it, ahahah).
What else are you into lately? FAll TV? Did you dislike the new SPN premiere as much as I did?

40 shows in July?!! Were you unemployed. I thought I was bad, watching at least 2 series a week since I've moved to Taipei. But damn, gurl.
I watched some Conan and liked it alright, but I have no idea how anyone can marathon anything so episodic...having said that, I guess I can understand that. I mean, Gintama is pretty episodic as well and it still gets me giggling all the time.
That's an awesome observation, regarding Bokurano and Madoka! I guess the director was paying tribute to Bokurano because the themes are similar...but also because the show is underrated. Fantastic!
I've been meaning to watch Nodame for a long time; it's here in my computer. But after watching Nana it feels like I need to delve into something a little less real for a while, you know? I was getting depressed, ahahaha.
Tsuritama was a breath of fresh air, wasn't it? And I've been really enjoying Kokoro Connect this season, while Hyouka is way over-hyped. Thoughts?
I haven't seen Akagi or Kaiba, so I'll dig into those..or investigate further.
I always get excited about Fall anime season most of all; dunno why. Maybe because that's when all the US series start up again too. It's a fun time for media fans!
I always love to see what Bones and Mad House put out.
