About Me

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.
















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. Shoujo & Josei: Back then, I didn't like it that much, but I found some great stories in there as well. I thought everything shoujo is just a kitschy school romance (I liked a few of those), but that isn't true.
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.








Dark Fantasy: Always loved it & love some of the dark aesthetics and styles.
(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.
