Understanding 100% of everything is impossible. That’s why we spend all our lives trying to understand the thinking of others. That’s what makes life so interesting.
Hello, my name is Cloudia. I am 22 years old and I live in New Zealand. I am very passionate about History, reading, gaming and music. My favourite mangaka are Tezuka, Araki and Toriyama. I am a big fan of classic anime and manga. Feel free to send me a friend request, I accept all. You are welcome to comment on my wall too - I will do my best to reply as soon as possible.
Dragon Ball: Very fun action packed Shonen anime. For me this was the highlight of the Dragon Ball anime franchise.
Berserk(1997): This show is what got me into the Berserk manga - one of my favourite Manga ever. This show is very good and it blew my mind at the time with the awesome characters and brutal story.
Neon Genesis Evangelion: This is the show that really got me into anime. I love the religious imagery and motifs. The characters are also well developed and complex. The mecha have awesome designs and the WTF moments are amazing.
Cowboy Bebop: This anime has the greatest soundtrack of any anime in my opinion. The crew of the Bebop all have such cool personalities with Spike Spiegel and Ed being my favourites. Definitely my favourite episodic anime although the underlying backstory is still very good.
Dragon Ball Z: This one is mainly here because it's an adaptation of one of my favourite manga and it includes one of my favourite characters ever: Vegeta.
Psycho-Pass: A friend of mine from uni got me into this one. The pretence is so fascinating to me. I'm a big fan of books like 1984 so this anime quickly became one of my favourites.
A few words on each of my favourite manga
Dragon Ball Awesome art and characters. The story leaves a bit to be desired but Toriyama's art style makes up for that. Amazing fight scenes and the characters really made you root for them. Small comment on Vegeta - I hated him at first but his development is the best in the series so by the end he was my favourite!
Berserk I love this manga on the same level as Dragon Ball. The art and characters are amazing and Guts' story really draws me in. Miura really puts his all into this manga and I really hope to see a conclusion some day.
Fullmetal Alchemist This was my first manga series! It will always have a place in my heart. I haven't read it in awhile but will add to this section when I've reread it.
Monster A thrilling story. Johan was such a good villain and the art is perfect.
20th Century Boys Two Urasawa manga in my favourites? His storytelling an art is very unique. The mystery in this one was great and I really loved the two main characters; Kenji and Kanna.
Kiseijuu (Parasyte) The main reason this is one of my favourites is the art. The art is so clean. The main character arc between Shinichi and Migi is also done very well.
Dororo The oldest manga I've read. From Tezuka the God of Manga. Although it ended rather abruptly. I loved the dynamic between Hyakkimaru and Dororo. I'm also a huge fan of stories with demons so this manga was a win for me.
Naruto *eye roll* yes Naruto is on here. Filthy casual. It's the longest manga I've read so I spent a lot of time in the ninja world that I couldn't help but get invested.
JoJo Part 4 My favourite part of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (followed closely by Battle Tendency). For me this arc had the best characters and it was really awesome to have three JoJo's interacting at once!
JoJo Part 7Cheating a little having two parts of JoJo but this part just blew me away. This part has the most interesting JoJo with Johnny and his relationship with Gyro is always interesting and develops both of their characters. The art is amazing and the horse race adds in extra tension.
Favourite movies: The Empire Strikes Back. Back when Star Wars was good. Pulp Fiction. Goldeneye (Heck yeah Nostalgia). Carol.
Favourite TV show: GENTLEMAN JACK
Favourite western comic: I don't read many because I don't like a lot of the art. My favourite western comic however is Watchmen. My favourite Marvel heroes are Moon Knight and Daredevil. These comics I feel have the best artwork. I also enjoy Deadpool because he's hilarious.
Favourite book: I have many favourite books. Popular favourites like the Harry Potter series but I also read a lot of 20th Century Sci- Fi. Some of my favourites include Animal Farm, 1984 and Ender's Game. I also enjoy LGBT Young Adult Fiction and biographies.
Favourite music performers: Kate Bush is my favourite singer. I also enjoy Peter Gabriel, Fleetwood Mac, Stevie Nicks(Solo), Frank Zappa, ELP, Yes, Dusty Springfield. I enjoy a lot of different music. I love prog rock and prog pop
Favourite music album: The Dreaming by Kate Bush.
Favourite Video Games: The other great love of my life next to anime and manga is video games. I have many favourites. The Mass Effect Trilogy and the Elder Scrolls IV are some of my more modern favourites.
The Nintendo 64 practically raised me. Fire Emblem and Pokemon are my favourite Nintendo franchises.
And most importantly: FAVOURITE JOJO = Joseph Joestar (and Josuke)
Hi, the summer is over already and sadly covid is back again :( from tomorrow we again must wear masks outside and I guess that people will be crazy about buying groceries again. Luckily, we at least manage to travel to some close destinations, went to visit parents-in-law and my sister living 90km away from me. Kid is still in a stroller, although she was 1y old a week ago :) I made some healthy cake and photos, also some relatives came, it was nice. I know what you mean, there is a part in development when they discover depth and gravity, and that´s why they keep throwing away everything. Toys are fine, though, imagine being thrown a bowl with food in your face, haha!
Sadly I don´t have time for anime, but I managed to read manga again. I am reading now Demon Slayer (classic shonen such as Naruto etc.), Drifting classroom (older story about a school being transported to the future), started Dorohedoro (should be some dark seinen, looking forward to it) and gulped down Homunculus. This one was absolute masterpiece, with the art starting and the story and characters ending, it was just great. If you are into dark seinen psychological stuff, you should def check it out.
Take care, too!
Hi! It´s absolutely okay, I took a break for almost 2months, too.
Oh, I sure will! In fact, in my country anime is really not so popular. 90% of people don´t know what it is, and the rest think that I watch Pokemon all the time. :D I know that many child animes are supercute, like about cats, or Bananya, or such. Compared to what a child can see on TV commonly, this still seems a safer choice for me..
Oh yeah.. it is hard. Now she is starting to walk, so far by the furniture and I guess in a month she will be running all over the apartment. What I really lack is some company when we are outside. She is very social and loves people, kids, animals, but I don´t have a friend for a stroller-walking. I try to find someone so wish me luck :)
I would really love to see a volcano one day. Here there are very few, and none active. But only smaller hills. Nothing like Etna in Sicily or such.
The weather here is really hot right now, I would change with you any day :) but at least we can travel abroad Slovakia. So far, I have only been with my husband's family for 2 days and then with my sis for 2 days. Travelling with a stroller by train turned out to be quite a challenge, so I must carefully think about the next trip...
I guess that´s all from me now. Take care and your family, too!
Well, good and bad at the same time. It is my first baby, so many things are still difficult for me, I need to learn so much. To explain this, I never had any experience with childrens, nor in my family or with my friends. The older she gets (8,5months now), the better it is, luckily. Now she can play with toys for some time and I get to do some chores or cook a lunch, but all in all she is a baby who needs constant attention and cries a lot. Now the lockdown is over, the life is back in normal for now.
Nature here is very variable, from rocky mountains on the north of the country to lots of lakes and mild forest in the rest of the country. I live mostly on flatland, just one bigger hill is atop the city. Not a fan of hiking myself. My city has around 80 000 inhabitants, so not exactly a village, how about you? And one more interesting, we have really a lot of caves and castles here, probably the most from middle Europe.
Windsor was nice, I hope I will get back sometimes, London sure change after all those years. I would love to see more of London, we went by bus like 3 days to UK, been 2 days in London and then 3 days back. Crazy!! Now I would go by plane, of course, but it was interesting to go by traject over La Manch :)) A friend of mine recently showed me photos from Island (she works there) and those sceneries were beautiful.
What would you like to see in JP? Tokyo, or less famous cities? For me, anything would be fine :)
Oh really?? Yay! It must be awesome to see it with your own eyes :) Sorry about your friend though. You know I completely forgot you have winter now? Here it is spring, still colder wind etc but the sun is already strong enough. Around 20°C. Did you finish Uzumaki already? And Yasha? Not to worry about late responses, I have a few months old baby girl so time is really flowing differently for me now.
There are numerous places in Slovakia I could recommend to you if you ever decided to visit :)) I love history too, but nature is No.1 for me (I am a biologist). Coming from the middle of continent, my ideal vacations are by sea/ocean/islands etc. I have been in the UK too, but only London, Greenwich and Windsor and it was 12y ago, so my memories are a bit fuzzy now. I would love to visit France, too, and also Japan someday... (need a lot of money for it though)
Oh Tomie is great, although a bit repetitive after few chapters. His masterpiece Uzumaki should get anime adaptation someday but with this corona situation.. everything is unsure. I heard that even Boruto stopped being produced and the story just started to get interesting :/
The worst is over here, thankfully, we are allowed to go outside now, also with friends and family, but you have to wear a mask but everyone is ignoring it already lol. I mean it is impossible to eat or drink with it and summer is coming, people want to eat icecream etc etc.
I would so love to see NZ someday, especially places where LOTR was made and hobbit houses :))

Thanks mate I'll keep that in mind.
Just had hard times getting a job because nobody wishes to hire me and i got lots of potential to unleash.
Nice Guts profile from Berserk btw! <3
