hiii, i'm a trans woman named Elaina! feel free to message me if you wanna talk about anything, i'm always up for some mutual yap sessions about anime and maybe even some other things. i also like vtubers, mario kart wii and lots of music (mainly rock - think alternative, post-punk, shoegaze, prog, metal, etc.). i am a uni student in the earth sciences. i sometimes accept random friend requests, but i do appreciate if you include a small message to explain why you're sending it (so we have a conversation starter).
as to the types of anime i like - i adore anything supernatural, and i think anime in particular excels at this genre. i'm also very into music-oriented anime, slice of life, and any other character-driven stories. other genres i really like are adventure, mystery and suspense.
my anime list of shows i completed (w/ the most recently finished anime on top):

soo, how's the weather? quite rainy these days, huh
would you be mad if I associated some of these songs with early 2010's Fifa music? xD
2024 has been such a crazy year for the internet
I wonder what's up next in the last 3 months
For the rest, I'd love to learn midwestern emo songs/chords, because I've listened to only one song till this day, but I still can't bend my head around the fact that it sounds so good, yet the fingering isn't anything insane at all ;-;
but yeah, I still haven't tried to do any studying
I always referred to Artemis as a female, so props to her!! also to you for voice training! you're gonna make it!!
type of joke that should just stay in the private chats
ohhh what would that study be called in Dutch? I've never heard of it (sorry D:)
not good enough to play in a band that does gigs yet, for sure
although, I only really need to work on my technique, because I already know the funny fretboard/theory shenanigans, so that's all right! :D
I picked it up because there were talks about forming a band in my friendgroup and I would've liked to be more of a supporter who could just fill in any role that was missing! however, those went nowhere :(
we even made album covers!! such a waste...
I love the melodic part the guitar plays in this under the vocals as well! I'm glad that it's pretty noticeable but not too overbearing if you get what I mean
also, asobi seksu - the name lmao
ohh, pull you in two sounds great too! I normally don't listen to this type of songs, but I really should huh
I also love the singer's voice! It's amazing when people get to sing their heart out- it always touches me to some extent :D
I've had the privilege to drum with two jazz musicians who would just seemingly switch from songs lmao
they'd just look at each other when they changed the song. the other one who didn't initiate the shift, would already know what we were going to be playing (kinda)
had a difficult time keeping up, that's for sure! xD
I sadly never watched NijiEN :(, so I don't really know who you're referring to at all, but they seem awesome nonetheless
and oh yes, I've heard some things about the things Nijisanji, or well Anycolor, was going through... also recently have heard about that music producer who allegedly would slip this aphrodisiac into talents' drinks or share their real face or whatever
even though they were (in what they thought was) a "safe" environment
forgot the name though
however, I did watch some NijiJP, such as Ars Almal or the one who goes like "Konlulu~" forgot her name ;-; ;-;
still, I do watch some indie vtubers! Artemis I don't, but I know of her and she seems great
does her being trans also make her more relatable at some times? genuinely asking :D
I sometimes watch Filian or ky0resu! the latter because she's so unhinged that it's entertaining
but the vtubers that I used to watch back then were mostly Hololive (basic bitch, I know right? xD)
I started when Kanata did her debut stream, so that was around december 2019 I believe! I fully fell into the vtuber rabbithole when I saw the video "Im. Scatman" of Fubuki, posted by Hamburgaga
I think you know her, but Hoshimachi Suisei is THE vtuber where I pull my inspiration from when it comes to my music goals! whenever I feel down or feel like I'm playing too poorly, I'd just think of what she did to achieve her spot and go practise even more xD
I luckily graduated in 2022, just after all the covid herres xD
now I'm studying, doing HBO-ICT! I tried going to the WO just after I graduated (which was Computer Science), but I just didn't like it :(
I do have an uncle who collects a shiton of electric guitars without really playing them xD
like, I know that some used to play, but they probably stopped because of the lack of time/passion that might've come with becoming older... time flies by soo quickly ;-;
but let's just say that I love playing piano and guitar/vocals! but my roots lay in percussion! currently playing in an orchestra as well :D
for instance, the songs from K-On aren't that like super special technical-wise, but I simply just feel inner peace (how corny that may sound) whenever I listen to their songs! they've helped me quite a lot as well, especially "watashi no koi wa hotchkiss" and "tenshi ni fureta yo" :DD
I bet you know official hige dandism, right? the intro to their live performance of "Mixed Nuts" in the budokan, where Satoshi Fujihara sings a solo, just brings me to tears every time- IT'S SO GOOD
Oh and "we took each other's hand" from Kaori Sawada must be one of my favourite songs, for sure! I once said that the only quality in my partner should be that she's able to perform that song together with me on the piano xD
do you have any songs like that?
ah, now it might seem that I never listen to non-japanese songs, which is kinda true I suppose, but I've started listening to "jazz standards" if that rings a bell?
ah and also, do you have any vtubers that you like watching? you mentioned it on your profile, so I'm very curious !!
and it also helps to get to know spoken Japanese, so it's a win-win situation!
so yeah, from what I've heard so far, her "real" voice is pretty similar to the characters she voices, such as Sinon from SAO
Like, I'm friends with someone who doesn't like K-On, despises it even, so when he starts shitting on the show, I'd start defending it lmao
seems pretty cool, but I don't really know what to picture right now, because the only thing which comes to mind is said e-girls lol
you'd probably receive a dad-type answer of "well.. a guitar?" and then probably an amplifier, set of strings, guitar picks, cable and a guitar stand and... you're good to go!
I've had a couple friends quit guitar because it hurted; because they just can't play anything yet or simply because they find it boring
so it's very important to have a clear goal in mind as well
like, what do you want to achieve and why are you playing
I always become super enthusiastic when talking about music, especially the more technical side of it like playing or theory
because it's so much fun and it's one of the major things that kept my sanity clear in the quarantine lmao
I forget to check comments when there's next to no traffic for me (I update entries via "Taiga"), so again- I'M SORRY
also, thanks for checking in
do so many shows even exist? xD
a cousin recommended the show to me, because it was about VR and games
when did you start then?
like, do you know Sawashiro Miyuki? oh my god, when she does radio shows or whatever, she makes my ears tingle lmfao- it's actually insane
maybe it's just my not being able to embrace the male actors who are able to do that, because I sometimes kinda feel like I'm not giving them enough credit
well, I've been catching myself actually gaining energy when talking to certain people, so there's been growth! :D
Do you feel the same?
speaking about music, do you play?
I'd say it's more of the voice actors!
I probably should've worded it as "I tend to enjoy "mainly girls" more" :P
Because I watch most things people recommend me/that I find interesting, but I almost never give a show that's dominated by girls a lower/average score
as opposed to the more mixed cast, such as wwwwagnaria! the cast is amazing, though
though I'd like to mention that the interactions between girls do play a huge part in my ratings, yes
The only guys I've been really able to relate to were the ones from "Daily Lives of Highschool Boys"!!
Anime has shaped some kind of type of woman I'm into, though lol
although, I do often feel that it's a bit unrealistic
I've only really been touched by shows through characters or music, so that's why I usually look at those things first :D
Well, there was a time where I could relate to Kirito, but I had been 13/14 years old back then! Ahh, how time flies
But yeah, I haven't seen any male characters yet that I find better than the female ones on my profile :D
To dumb it down, I guess it's just - as corny as it sounds - a feeling from the heart
That's also how I rate my anime; mostly based on characters! then also voice acting and soundtracks a bit
What about you?
she always thinks out of pocket, but she's smart enough not to just let it out (unless she's annoyed by Baka)
that's the morally right answer
you'll never catch me having any favourite male characters on my profile!!! I'll die on this hill
hmmm, I'm pretty lacherig, so I usually just laugh pretty quickly - also easy to humour - so yeah no worries!
also, you must be the first ever user I've seen who has put "wasteful days of JKs" on their favourites!! whatttttt
who's your favourite?
