Faylicia's Profile

Greetings from Portugal!

Hello Felicia from Greece. I just clicked the helpful button in your Shinsekai yori review. I'm on episode 8 (I guess) and I also feel disappointed. Does it even get a little bit better?

Have a good day.
PS. Haibane Renmei for the win!

i am also greek
nice to see another greek member on here ^_^

Oh, I see! I have a lot of respect for people who pursue that. I personally studied graphic design and photography while doing fine art in between. I've seen the animators...A lot of dedication goes into that. Well, really all forms of art, but since animation is something I never really dedicated myself to, I admire it in others! haha. Now I miss college...o_o

I really need to watch Monster it seems. I also think the setting is highly interesting. I have never been to Europe, but it is always different to see a more western location as the focus. Weirdly enough, my second time attempting Monster was after watching Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. I don't know why I immediately connected those too. I really enjoyed the grisly yet human nature of the side character stories in SAC. I guess Monster kind of fulfills that too.

Well regardless, I want to make it a priority to watch! Though the amount of episodes is something that has daunted me. :P

I saw a few episodes of Gunslinger Girl about 6 years ago; never finished it. It definitely had that calm yet slightly unsettling feel. And you know what? That's yet another series I associate with a natural brown and tan color palette.....You are really good at connecting these abstract qualities!!

By the way, I saw Monster in your favorites. I tried watching that when I was like 15 or 16, and stopped. Then tried watching it a few years ago, and got distracted. I know a lot of people LOVE it, so I think it's well worth the watch, probably. Especially since I like the genre. Why do you like it?

Haibane Renmei was good, I never really connected that with Maria-sama either, but I can see it now! They do have that same sense of light, kind of non-threatening mystery. And you're right they actually have really similar color palettes. I never really noticed that til now. I think of a lot of browns and natural colors when those two series come to mind.

Honestly, I don't think I appreciate Haibane Renmei fully when I first watched it. I suppose I wasn't in the right mindset for that genre at the time. But that and Maria-sama do have quite a unique appeal. They make you question what will happen next, but it's hardly ever out of heavy conflict. Sure there's drama between characters at times, but I feel like the mystery aspect is mostly good-natured throughout.

Haibane Renmei does have those psychological aspects as you've said, though! And those parts with the wings....looked painful >___<

Maria-sama was another one I really appreciate for the atmosphere. Especially in the first one...it's filled with a kind of secrecy. I love all the nature too, and the general color palette. Now I want to watch it again >_<

Forgot how much I liked it til now! Did you have any other Maria-sama-esque recommendations? haha

I completely agree. Honestly, I really enjoyed them both. I never put that connection together, but it makes a lot of sense! Sometimes recommendations just strike me, haha

The first of Mouryou no Hako is totally a horror version of Maria-sama!

I just never saw the last season of Maria-sama now that I think about it. The first three were really great though. I'll probably re-watch them sometime.

Spot-on recommendation for connecting Mouryou no Hako and Maria-sama ga Miteru! It never occurred to me; they really do have an atmospheric similarity.

hmm... society, marketing, food maybe XP. Would it be a good place to go during a vacation?

What's it like over there?

hmm.. So then you moved to the UK?

It will get warm soon ._.

During the winter it is pretty cold, summers are hot.

California ~That's where I live

Maybe !
