x Fanarts don't belong to me! x She/they x 29 years old (watching anime since ca. 23-24 years, reading manga since ca. 20 years.) x From Vienna / Austria x I'm a very queer weeb. x Queer characters and couples are also a huge plus, but not a must. x ABOUT MY LIST: Don't be surprised about the amount of stuff in my list. I add a lot of shorts, special, ovas etc... and a lot of anime got multiple entries for multiple seasons; it's not that much in reality. Also I'm watching anime and reading manga since two decades circa. I'm also reading a lot of manga one shots and other short(er) manga, especially shoujo, boys love and some girls love, since the 2000s ca. Manga scores under construction! x I also usually drop anime and donghua series, movies and reads that I would rate 6 or below (depends), because I don't like to waste my time on them. x My 9s and 10s are my Top Favorites. Simple as that. They are not perfect, but I love and / or appreciate them a lot. x 8s are other anime and donghua series, movies and reads I really liked and appreciate a lot as well. x Every genre gets its own scale. I compare urban fantasy with urban fantasy, sol romance with sol romance etc... x GENRES I LOVE (short summary): fantasy (especially high fantasy, dark fantasy), horror (supernatural, cosmic & gothic horror), steampunk, some (battle) shounen & seinen, shoujo & josei, dystopia & utopia, or sci-fi or fantasy with interesting settings, sometimes cyberpunk, psychological, thriller, historical, romance & some erotic fiction, slice of life, drama, music, fashion x GENRES I DON'T LIKE / FAVOR for most parts: most ecchi and (reverse) harem, shounen with icky fanservice, most sports (especially ball sports, boxing etc.), some edgy and gorey type of horror, a lot of "typical" battle shounen (never seen a lot of Naruto, Bleach, One Piece etc... also don't like Hero Academia too much for example) x 90s kid, who grew up with Inuyasha, Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh, Sailor Moon, Pretty Cure and other tv anime, but also Ghibli ofc. x Ghibli fangirl. x I adore beautiful art, visuals and aesthetics; official art and from fanart artists too. x About my manga / light novel list: I read tons of short stories, mainly shoujos, boys love and some girls love, in the 2000s & 2010s. I'm working on adding some, but I can't really remember most of them very well, to be honest. Favorite Fiction, Characters and Couples Top 25 Pieces Of Fiction Updated: 25.02.2022 My favorite pieces of fiction of all media, including books, live-action and games as well. Kinda ordered (more or less) Attack on Titan (anime and manga) - Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed (book and live-action, the donghua is good as well, but cut way too much of the source material) - The Witcher (all media, but especially the books) - Fullmetal Alchemist (manga and both anime, but from the anime: especially Brotherhood) - The Priory of the Orange Tree (book) Arcane (never played LoL, but loved the series) - Noragami (anime and manga) - 86 (light novels and anime) - Avatar (both series; The Last Airbender and Korra, plus the Kyoshi-books) - Princess Mononoke (anime movie) Harry Potter (books and movies; the first Fantastic Beasts movie was quite nice, but forget the rest) - D.Gray-man (anime and manga) - Jujutsu Kaisen (anime and manga) - The Twelve Kingdoms (light novels and anime) - Criminal Minds (series) Claymore (especially the manga, the anime is very incomplete) - His Dark Materials (movie was just okay, haven't seen series yet, so... especially the books) - Banana Fish (anime and manga, but especially the anime) - Inuyasha (anime and manga, but especially the anime) - Pokemon (especially the games) Skyrim (games) - Pan's Labyrinth (live action movie) - A Monster Calls (book and live action movie) - The Promised Neverland (manga and the first season of the anime) - The Hunger Games (books and movies, but especially the movies) - Made in Abyss (anime and manga) Top 15 Favorite Characters Updated: 09.03.2022 Kinda ordered (more or less) Wei Wuxian (Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed) - Hange (Attack on Titan) - Levi (Attack on Titan) - Ciri (The Witcher) - Ash (Banana Fish) Yato (Noragami) - Roy (Fullmetal Alchemist) - Youko (The Twelve Kingdoms) - Holo (Spice and Wolf) - Riza (Fullmetal Alchemist) Katniss (The Hunger Games / Die Tribute von Panem) - Wen Qing (Mo Dao Zu Shi / The Untamed) - Shin (86) - Armin (Attack on Titan) - Daenerys (Game of Thrones) 50 More Characters I Like A Lot Updated: 09.03.2022 They are not really ordered. Also I'm too lazy to write all their names down. Please ask, if you want to know who they are. Waifus <3 Updated: 09.03.2022 Or: Characters I have the biggest crushes on. ^^ Uhm... I know Hange is non-binary, but I don't know how you would call that other than waifu. More Little Crushes Levi from Attack on Titan It's not even that I'm that biased; he just has a resting bitch face (for most parts except extreme situations) and a crude way of talking and humor, but he's actually really... well, kind and caring with a great set of morals. I'd say one of the kindest and caring in a realistic way I have seen in anime in general, no joke. Not in the over the top and overly self-righteous way like some shounen heroes and people, who just want to be seen as good people by other very badly. I really like characters, where it shows in the smaller things. Levi breaks his leg because Mikasa didn't follow an order one time, but he never holds it against her. Same thing in the first season with the soldier, who puts others at risk for taking the corpse of their friend with them. He gives the soldier his friend's badge and never talks about it again. Or the time he thanks Armin for saving Jean, when that 15 yo old boy was traumatized for shooting a person, because you know, that kid / teen shouldn't have been put into a situation where he had to kill a person to begin with. He also has some personal problems and the death of his comrades taking a huge toll on him, basically everyone, who has been quite close to him, died, but he doesn't play "woe is me" like a lot of other anime characters do, and very rarely made it the problem of other people around him. Besides the one (and imo understandable) time Levi tried to save Erwin for rather personal reasons than "for the sake of humanity". I'd just love to see more mature and reliable characters in anime. And realistically caring characters with integrity. Also there is that fact that he gives his subordinates a choice for most parts. And seriously, just because people don't cry often or almost never, doesn't mean they are unfeeling. For me personally, it's also really nice to see that he has incredibly realistic written ptsd. I*m serious about that, for me it's great to see that. Not that overdone like you would see in a lot of other series, it's realistic. Ash Lynx from Banana Fish Ash is another character who just feels so real and went through a lot of real shit that shaped him, especially rape and childpornography from young age on, but he never became fully a victim to the circumstances and although he's known for being violent and a gang leader, he never uses violence just because, when he doesn't have to. The story synopsis that says Ash became a ruthless killer is very misleading lol. Also I love him together with Eiji. Eiji was the first, who wanted him for him and not only for his body like the others who used him. I also have to admit that I'm not an easily triggered person, but Banana Fish and Ash's character put me through hell and pushed a lot of triggers, but I don't dislike that either tbh. It feels somehow... heeling to be confronting in fiction with them and a relatable character, who isn't portrayed as a helpless victim. Wei Wuxian from Mo Dao Zu Shi A protagonist, who's really fun to follow and I love him, because he got various different, but believable, sides to him. He's also competent and smart, but character-wise has a lot of flaws and sometimes he's a cocky idiot, still he's a very good person. Also his development hurt me a lot. You can watch him how he becomes gradually more cynical and makes less jokes etc. I'm glad too that his love interest plays an important role, but so does his family and friends in his life too. I also liked the family drama around him with his siblings and all. Yato from Noragami I love him for very similar reasons as Wei Wuxian. Also I really like the theme of overcoming a toxic family and trying to start a new life without them but being hunted by them etc... that really hit close to home. I ship him a lot with Hiyori and it is beautiful to see him growing as a person and putting a lot of effort into becoming better and overcomimg his past and toxic family for her and also for Yukine. Shinei Nouzen from 86 His character hits differently. He acts a lot like a real person with ptsd from my point of view. Especially his self-destructive behavior etc, that's too real especially for kids and teenagers with a trauma, but also for some adults. I also was glad that he's not written as an edgelord, he's just a bit withdrawn, but he's not playing the edgy lonewolf or being an asshole. He cares about the others a lot and he's quite intelligent too. Again, I love his relationship with Lena here and how it develops and how they slowly getting to know each other on a very personal level. I never shipped two characters so much, who even haven't seen each other yet. Youko Nakajima from 12 Kingdoms She has such a great development. She started as a 17 yo girl, who has been uncomfortable being in her skin and wasn't able to speak up, and as soon as someone stood out, she tried to shut them down. But in the run of the series, she became a queen, who was worth the title, gained self-confidence and became more thoughtful and considerate of those around her. That sounds pretty "basic", because you have seen that a lot, but it's really not. It's wonderfully written imo and I loved her more and more over time. Also personally, I love her appearance too and I never knew, if I wanted to BE HER or be WITH her. Both lol Wen Qing from Mo Dao Zu Shi She appears a bit brash at the first impression, but she really just caring about her brother and her clan or later Wei Wuxian too, so she's mistrusting at first. It's so sad that the donghua cut almost all of her scenes out, she has so many more scenes in the books and live action drama, and I got so attached to her there. :/ Top 15 Favorite Couples! Updated: 09.03.2022 Genres & Demographics 1. Fantasy and Mythology: In general. Almost all kind of. I love various fantasy and mythology stuff so much! I always appreciate great settings and a creative use of magic etc as well. I will talk about it in the next section since I loved fantasy fiction since I can remember haha. 1. Steampunk: I just like the setting and aesthetics a lot, but I can't really tell why that's the case tbh. But I like the themes of industrialization, colonism, conflicts between the rich and the poor etc... 1. Dystopia / Utopia: Really depends on the execution, but in general it could be very interesting. 1. Crime / Noir / Spy: I don't know why, but I really love those sometimes too! 2. Drama: Give me my daily drama and something to cry about. That makes me happy lol Seriously, I love drama since I like to feel something through the fiction I consume and I like to explore human emotions etc. 2. Romance: Panromantic & homosexual woman here. Swimming way more to the female's shore, but still: Throw all the good romances & couples at me. I especially love romantic subplots, straight, homo ... maybe mix it with fantasy and great characters, then I will love the couple. If it's well-done, then poly relationships are welcomed as well. 2. Historical: I really like that setting and I don't know why, but these settings and premises interest me a lot. 2. Mecha & SciFi I don't like the mecha or a lot of scifi settings per se, but sometimes the stories and characters are really good. 3. Slice of Life: I like slice of life in general. It depends on the story of course, but I really learned to appreciate it. 3. Iyashikei: I love the mix with fantasy and the episodic episodes with the calming atmosphere and moving stories. But I also like iyashikei without a fantasy setting. They are very relaxing. 3. Kids: Yes. There are some / a lot of good stories to find in this demographic and they are surprisingly often more mature than anime or manga that try too hard to be mature (aka they become edgy then). 3. Coming of Age: There are beautiful and moving stories about this theme and it often appeals to me on a deeper level. Also I really love it, when there are friendship- and family-related themes in fiction that touch me and are well-executed. In addition, I like themes of self-discovery and similar stuff. 3. Cute Girls Doing ... ... everything lol Cute Girls Doing Slice of Life to Cute Girls Doing Apocalypse, there are a lot of good shows ... and cute girls in them. 3. Magical Girl: Back then I didn't really like them, but they grew on me so much. The classic ones and also the "darker" ones. 3. Comedy: It depends. A lot of anime comedy doesn't appeal to me, but I don't say no to good comedy. Fantasy I Love (Horror tho is often a huge hit or miss-genre for me. Rule of thumb: If it is appears to me like a fanfic that it has been written by a 15 yo edgy teenager, then it's a miss.) High Fantasy: Fantasy in medieval age, but not always in the European version. I prefer Asian medieval worlds, although I love all of the settings, if they are done right. I like classic fantasy stories, they are a lot of fun and give me a lot of enjoyment, although I don't like them, if the protagonist is a typical action hero and I also dislike these "generic school boy is transported into another world and gets undeserved powers and a harem"-isekais. Adventure Fantasy: Really like the adventurous feeling of them and since I like interestings settings, I like to see new places of this setting. Also the characters grow by meeting new people. Asian Fantasy / Mythology: I love anime and manga with yokai and kamis and Japanese mythology in general. Be it high fantasy in feudal Japan or urban fantasy in modern times. I also like some Xianxia (chinese high fantasy) or other settings in Asia. Romantasy: Romance is one of my favorite genres and I love fantasy the most, so I naturally love a mix of both. Extra plus points for queer romantasy! Slice of Life Fantasy: Or Iyashikei fantasy as well. I love the mix of these two genres, as I adore these two on their own. Together, they create a great atmosphere and setting which can be explored a lot. Often with likeable characters. Magic Schools / Academies: Say whatever you want about them. I just don't like these battle harems or anything like that. Urban Fantasy: Can be very good sometimes and I like the premise of a hidden world in a modern society. |

With things finally opening up after 2 years of insanity i'm trying to catch up with family (it's actually been way longer than that for other reasons)
And then the usual, anime, manga, movies, and job hunting
How you been?
I've seen you a lot on the forums but I don't think we ever really talked. when I saw you're from Vienna as well (and about my age) I had to say 'hi' tho. And aside from you not being into two of my favorite genres (sports and battle shounen) I feel like we have decent affinity as well (I rarely see over 50% tbh). So here am I, saying 'hi' :>.
You ever go to local conventions like AniNite or the Vienna Comix?
Love sink Aswell
