This is a work in progress! (Procrastination in progress)
A Short Bio of Shiruet
The first time I was ever introduced to Japanese anime was when I was around 5. That time, Doraemon and Gundam SEED was on T.V. I'll never forget how much I had loved seeing them both and I was totally plunged into the world of anime. From there on, I encountered manga and games as well, though I had consistently watched anime. I guess i should also give manga a try as well here. Not much into manga, but I'll try to get attuned to it and slowly immerse myself in the versatile world of manga. As for games, aside from JRPGS/music rhythms/dating sims, I have played a small amount of North American compared to Japanese.
All in all, I have come to appreciate the Japanese culture if not embrace my own Asian culture (Chinese here!) more in-depth. In the past 3 years, I have visited many places in Asia from China to Indonesia to Singapore to Japan and Philippines! Even though I treat this AMG (Anime/Manga/Game) thing of mine a hobby, it's still a a big part of me!!
Top 10 Favorite Anime Series(in no particular order)
Angel Beats - One of my first romantic/action series. The art and music were beautiful and the feels were definitely on point.
Fairy Tail - One of my first long-running anime series. The characters were pretty diverse and the magic was just too awesome to ignore. Also gave me the feels sometimes.
Gundam Build Fighters/GBF Try - One of the gundam series that made me enter the Gundam fandom aside from SEED. I was a kid, so seeing this just made hyper and fall in love with Gunpla. GBF Try just made me love gunpla even more.
Puella Magi Madoka Magica - One of all-time favourite series for the music (thank you Yuki Kajiura) and art. Not as much as the characters but I definitely loved the mysterious yet magical-girl aspects of it.
Psycho-Pass - The suspense of each episode along with the clash of intelligence and brawn appealed to me in such a manner that made me fall in love with this genre. Psycho Pass definitely was one of the top anime series for action and psychological thriller.
Mirai Nikki - Awesome concept, scary but kickass characters, and a plot that will always make me tense with their suspense. Mirai Nikki introduced me to the thrilling world of thrillers and horror.
Shugo Chara - My very first magical anime. I can never forget how my heart raced *doki* for the very first time when I saw Amu transform. This is something that I'll never quite forget.
Mekakucity Actors - Though somewhat confusing at first, this anime had the mysterious aspect to it that I find charming. Music by Miku and IA were awesome and so were the characters' stories. Medusa eye powers and time loops? Count me in!
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Aliens? ESPers? Time travelers? This anime was one of the series I love since I was a kid. The plot was amazing overall. The characters' personalities synergize well from Haruhi's spontaneousness to Yuki's silence.
Wagnaria - I got dragged here from Servant x Service and I began to take a liking to RomCom and SoL from this anime series alone. This anime has earned a lot of laughs from me and I loved the characters' bumbling personalities to the wacky days of work.
Honourable Mentions
Selector Infected/Spread WIXOSS, SKET Dance, Koufuku Graffiti, Baka no Test Shoukanjuu, Elfen Lied, Btoooom!, Gundam SEED, Strawberry Panic, Nanatsu no Taizai, Atelier Escha & Logy: Alchemists of the Dusk Sky, Another, Doraemon, Love Live! School Idol Project, The Idolm@ster, I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying!
Top 5 Favorite Mangas(in no particular order)
Corpse Party: Blood Covered - The game was cool and the manga adaptation was pretty gory yet astoundingly fun to read. The artwork was a bit toned down, but I still liked how the characters' flashbacks were incorporated.
Pokemon Diamond and Pearl Adventure - One of the mangas I read when I was a kid. Hareta, Jun, and Mitsumi captured my heart and made the game much more enjoyable to play! The battles were fun to read and the plot flowed well with a side of humour.
Tokyo Ghoul - One of the manga series that caught my eye when I glanced through it, and I immediately liked the concept. Art was drawn well and the story was definitely intriguing and suspenseful.
Hajime no Ippo - I can relate so much with Ippo as he picks himself up from being a bullying victim to an outstanding boxer! Seeing him struggle and break through made it feel like I'm growing with him too. With an awesome plot and a cool cast of characters, I definitely love seeing Ippo dominate!
Kagerou Days - Much like Mekakucity Actors, the manga was just as intriguing as the anime. Filled with a gang trying to stop a mysterious enemy with eye powers made it an adventure in an otherwise normal life. Cool? Definitely.
Honourable Mentions
Hatsune Mix, Pokémon Adventures Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds, Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL, Shugo Chara!
Top 10 Favorite Games(in no particular order)
Well, I play a variety of games from American FPS to Asian muisc-rhythm to simple boardgames like Monopoly! However, with respects to the theme here, I'll put down my top 10 favourite games that contain anime/asian backgrounds!
1) Cytus
2) Deemo
3) Devil Maker: Toyko
4) The Atelier Series: Mainly Atelier Meruru, Atelier Ayesha, and Atelier Escha & Logy
5) The Super Smash Bros. Series
6) The Tekken Series: Mainly the ones you play in arcades
7) The Blazblue Series: Mainly Continuum Shift and Chronophantasma
8) The Project Diva Series and its spin-off, Project Mirai: Mainly F and F2nd and DX
