Greetings everyone! My name is Courtney (yamisgirl). Feel free to add me, leave a comment, and get to know me. I'm great if you need a suggestion for a good anime to watch for I have seen quite the number in my 17 years! Most of my anime titles come from my really close online friend of five years - Madison (Mew1Mokuba-Akari) - who is also my graphic designing buddy. She's REALLY into anime and manga and has read over 100 titles and has watched over 200 titles. She watches and recommends me anime. I also get recommendations from my school friends Amber and Catarina (Omigirl115). Then the rest I just find myself on adultswim or randomly on the internet ;)

How old are you?

When did you first start watching anime?
Technically at age 3 – with Pokemon as my first anime ever. Then it got serious in 5th grade when I got into Yu-Gi-Oh!

(1) InuYasha
(2) Reborn
(3) Fullmetal Alchemist
(4) Bleach
(5) Death Note
(6) Blood+
(7) Cowboy Bebop
(8) xxxHoLic
(9) Yu Yu Hakusho
(10) Neon Genesis Evangelion
Is there any anime that you particularly didn’t enjoy and why?
I LOVED Naruto for the longest time, but I was VERY disappointed in which direction it was heading with Shippuden. It is entirely pointless now. There is absolutely no more story line and everything that ever happened in the first series dies. Dropped it completely!
Would you prefer to watch dubbed anime or anime in its original language?
I am VERY picky. I am a STRONG English voice actor supporter (because I have met a few of my favorites), but there are also anime that I prefer Japanese + subs for ANY DAY! Example – Tsubasa in English makes my ears bleed...
What genre is your favorite type of anime such as comedy, action, romance, etc?
I am all around! I love anything with adventure, action, suspense, humor, and, of course, a cute anime couple here and there ;)
Do you think that anime has changed over the years?
Yes, and I personally think for the best. You can DEF tell the differences in art styles. Look/watch something like Cowboy Bebop or Yu Yu Hakusho, then watch something new like Reborn. AMAZING animation in its own unique ways. Of course, Cowboy Bebop and YYH are amazing too because back then it would be like how we view our anime today!
Would you find any influence in today cartoons or anime?
Yes, for example, there is a Romeo and Juliet anime – literature. Also another example is Hetalia Axis Powers – History on the wars. There is DEF some influence!
Would you prefer to read the manga version of the anime or rather just watch the anime cartoon series?
Honestly, I’ll watch an anime any day. You can recommend me anime any day and I’ll check it out. Manga – I HAVE TO WANT TO READ IT in order to get into it. Sure, recommend, but I’ll most likely not get to it. Personally, manga can sometimes be way too complex where the anime can be VERY simple!
