About Anime and Myself
I discovered anime when I was 6, and it is my only interest that has lasted for such a long time. I am a curious person and I enjoy trying various things, but usually I don't stick with them longer than 3-4 years. Well, anime was an exception: as I grew up with it, my passion only became stronger. I currently see manga and anime as an integrant part of myself.
My Profile Image
The character is Kikuchi Yume from Mahoutsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto (Someday's Dreamer). I haven't watched/read the anime/manga yet, but I chose this picture because it is very representative of myself 😋.
My Profile Name
During 2001, I accidentally discovered an article in a PC games magazine about Oni video game. I instantly took a liking to the game's MC Konoko. Though "Konoko" was only the character's alias, I loved the name so much that I used it to create my own manga character: Konoko Asada. I picked "Asada" randomly from a borrowed manga's front cover. Because I was finishing high school and preparing for college, I've never managed to draw my manga, but I've made Konoko Asada my online alias as a reminder.
This Introduction's Top Image
That is an extract from a handmade picture book I drew for a very dear friend. For me, it represents a testimony that, no matter how intense our jobs can get, we can still make room for those things we love. At that time, dedicating all my spare time to this project boosted my energy and motivation instead of draining me out.

My Favorite Anime since Childhood to Present Days
I was a first-grader when Mom showed me and my brothers Osamu Tezuka's Hi no Tori 2772 Ai no CosmoZone, my first anime 😁. It was also the first anime aired in my country! What impressed me most at that moment was my mother exclaiming: "This is a Japanese cartoon! Do you see how beautiful it is?!" I'm not sure what she meant by "beautiful", since I know now it was not what I considered beautiful: those big bright shiny eyes that I've got so in love with 😍! You don't see such eyes in any other cartoon! I've always been interested in facial expressions with a particular preference for the eyes. So, anime touched a soft spot, and it got me for good, as I would have discovered over the years to come.
Please see below the anime that impressed me most across time, in chronological order:
Most Impactful Anime/Manga in the past 12 Months
Though I still haven't found that anime that would surpass Naruto, I was left in awe by some new amazing anime and manga too 😁.
The order is from the most to the least impactful, though there's a tie between the first two (Dororo is right up my alley, while Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica was an unexpected breakthrough).
