I will never get tired of recalling the moment when my mother told me the story of how as kids, my siblings and I, would willingly stop playing to run towards the living room and sit in front of the tv set every time Dragon Ball comes on. First, imagine how tiny and cute we were back then. Second, all this time she really thought Dragon Ball was a children's program. No offense, mom! But hey, for me, her memory of those moments was truly a treasure because it was our childhood. It was also the revelation of how my love-and-hate relationship with anime had started.
By the way, the reason why she told me that is cuz she caught me watching anime again for the nth time followed by her repeating rant on how she couldn't understand why anybody would watch those goddamn "kids shows". Relatable, isn't it? Lmao
Hi, I'm Z.
▫ I don't really consider myself an otaku. I am a female person who happens to grow up in a society where watching anime, an imported product, is part of the culture.
▫ I started watching anime at the age of 2 or 3... if you're familiar with Kimba the white lion then we'd be fast friends. :D
▫ This is so I could have a comprehensive and organized list of all the things I did in the past relating to manga and anime.
▫ I may not be an otaku, but I really admire the animation quality and style of the late 80's and 90's, like, I know a lot about it. It could be the reason why I'm not a hardcore watcher since I got stuck in those eras.
▫ I'm a huge fan of Studio Ghibli; Isao Takahata, Hayao Miyazaki and Joe Hisaishi's collaborations. Their collective genius made me appreciate more the importance of directing and on Hisaishi's part, music scoring, in any sorts of film-making.
▫ I write reviews (books, tv series and films) as a pastime. I'm gonna try reviewing anime (especially series), this time.
▫ Watching anime influenced me to aspire as a professional comic artist/graphic novelist or an animator, and I'm yet to make either one of them come to reality. However, I'm always having difficulties e.g., relapse from an illness, etc, I'm not really sure if I could go on. Anyway, I'm still positive about this. Call it cliché but I'm gonna start one step at a time, and it will be a vocation till the end of my life. *crickets* Well, so much for that!
▫ Hopefully, by having an account here, I could find like-minded people so we could share our ideas and perhaps, work in partnership someday.
▫ For now, I'll just catch up on what I can that's related to anime
Just leave a message or comment below, if you want to start a conversation. Domo. ^^
