Hi hi cakethecat-san... thx for FR! :D

And I hope we can be good partners with Lolis ... mmmh maybe ?? ... wooow do you like Garupan! YEEEEEEI~~!! Better tankmates and trenches!



A pleasure to meet you dear!

Most people watch Clannad first but I watched Air first and then Kanon.

I've seen Kanon and it's one of my favourites.

Shit. I thought I wrote a reply but it seems I didn't actually send it. Wondered why there was no response. My bad x)

I'm probably gonna go to Germany. There's a few good universities there with a strong presence in the fields I want to work with (astrophysics and the like). It's a good career choice, and, well, I have a lot of other reasons for wanting to study abroad. I enjoy my current life but it's not very fulfilling. There's that... need to get away, in a sense. But also wanderlust. I want to see more of the world. I hate being bound down and all that. And my current life is basically sitting in my room working on my studies or watching anime :P It's not where I envisioned my twenties.

Ah, but I'm getting a bit personal. Sorry, if that's not entirely in taste. Where are you planning to go abroad? What language are you studying? I always wanted to do something like take a year off my studies to study language or culture abroad, like a year in Japan or something. That'd be fun. I'd never want to seriously study there for a number of reasons (I dislike the work culture and the whole overly respecting your seniors thing, among other things), but it'd be a fun year to just relax and soak in new impressions and the like. I might even take a year abroad elsewhere while studying abroad. I'll eventually be applying for PhDs around the world, too. I want to see it all.

I get the nervousness though. I love change, personally, but I hate actually going through change. It makes things, well, change, which is uncomfortable to deal with. One tends to have this desire to want to stay within one's own little bubble. I've done that for many years, and while I don't regret it, I can't say I recommend it :P But that's my own two cents. I hope you find it's a good time when you do go abroad.

As for the Japan trip - we're sort of going through the country from top to bottom (we being me and my younger sister). Starting with a week in the north, including Hokkaido, probably. Then Nagano and the Japanese Alps, then the Kyoto area and eastward, then a week in Kyushu, and a final week in Tokyo before we return home. Four weeks will be a lot, but I'm very excited about it, it'll be the longest trip I've ever had!

Lately I've been really into comedies but also romance with a taste of drama. I've binged shows like Nichijou, Sabagebu, and Gabriel Dropout, but also Oregairu and Chuunibyou, in addition to all the seasonal anime. Still trying to catch up on A Place Farther than the Universe and After the Rain from last season; plus this season's great romance show, Wotakoi, plus a few others like Tada-kun and 3D Kanojo which are OK but my verdict is still out. And then there's Hinamatsuri and the continued season of Saiki Kusuo.

Aah, I used to love playing anime themes on piano. Since my previous electric piano broke down I haven't bought a new one, so it's been a few years. I want to get back into it, but life gets in the way. So much stuff to do. The Clannad themes work so well on the piano, it puts my mind at ease just thinking about it~

So what series have you been watching lately?

Oh I still need to watch Yuuki Yuuna and NHK, they seem really good ^^

What anime do you recommend?

I find that most seinen shows have more interesting concepts and focus more on the plot and writing instead of character developement and gags, like most animes do.
that's nice, which ones did you like the most?

Oh those are nice and very relaxing as well
A little bit of everything really (except the perverted stuff and mecha), lately I've been enjoying seinen the most
do you like seinen as well?

thank you for the friend request ^^
you must like slice of life, is that your favourite genre?

well I'm pretty much open to everything,

Since you explained why I'll accept your friend request.

thanks for the friend request

true true

Likewise! There are many interesting parts and hints you can find in Rebellion (same as well in the original series), that either foreshadow certain events or provide us with new meanings when we try to understand more about the symbolism in both Rebellion and the original one. That must be some life-changing event (and innocence-ruining, as well) for you to watch it while you're still in junior high, lol. Not many girls whom I know personally watch Madoka at least in that age range or after so, much less those who watch Rebellion. It's a bit sad, I think.


Too bad they don't display anime movies in cinemas here in my home country in Indonesia (at least until recently, to some degree), so I have to watch Rebellion through Animechiby if I recall. But as for everyone's reaction of generally being dumbfounded and traumatized, I get that all much. And SHAFT needs to get their shit together for making the third movie into a reality now :(


Urasawa leans more to psychological mangas than Junji Ito could ever do IMO (that's why I put Monster and 20th Century Boys as my personal favorites). And Junji Ito's horrors could only survive, unfortunately, if they stayed in their manga form, unlike its anime counterparts. The anime versions are pretty jokes from the get-go.


Have you watched all of Yuki Yuna series by the way? Some of its scenes are more brutal than in Madoka, I think.

Thanks for sending me your FR! Some affinity you've got there, I admit.

Speaking of your liking for dark-themed anime stories, why do you place Rebellion above the original series? I'm still waiting impatiently for the sequel of Rebellion for all its worth, that movie just wrecked me psychologically the last time I watched that.

For psychological works, I usually prefer Naoki Urasawa to be honest, he made some of the finest psychological mangas I've ever read, as seen in my MAL profile~

Nice to know you, by the way!
