About Anime and Me
I don't know if anyone would ever read this, but I would appreciate if you would. Wether you're an anime fan or not, it's alright
😁 Ok, now let's talk about the point of this post. I've always heard about anime for a very long time when I was a kid, but never really had a chance to watch some. The most familiar anime to me was just probably Pokémon. I remember seeing some clips of DBZ, Sailormoon, Naruto and more as a young kid but I barely remember what was happening and what the story was about. Anime was always big and popular, but I don't understand why because I wasn't so fluent at english that time 😆. Wether it'd be subtitled or dubbed, english would still be confusing. My parents would always control/limit my time in watching tv, so that might be the reason why I wasn't so used to watching english shows. At that time, there were more cartoon shows than anime so I was more used to cartoons. I would still see advertisements of some anime shows, but I would just ignore it since I was not that interested in it... Maybe that was missing in my childhood, anime. But I did love watching Pokemon and that one anime with the Dinosaurs and cards something. I started watching some anime shows online maybe when I was 14 years old. Then I immediately fell in love with it. I've continued my love for anime by watching some of the animations, movies, episodes and even reading manga. I also started drawing a few fanarts too.
As far as I know, here are the animes and mangas I've watched or read already:
-Pokémon, which is everyone's favorite
-Naruto(except naruto shippuden) I want to continue watching the next episodes, but I keep on forgetting and I lack motivation ☹
-Attack on Titan
-Kill la Kill
-Little Witch Academia
-Houseki no Kuni/Land of the Lustrous
-Devilman Crybaby
-Boku no Hero Academia/My Hero Academia (Only Season 1 😓)
-Your Name
-A Silent Voice
-Shelter, just a Music Video but I consider it special with excellent art, music and story.
-Children who chase lost voices
-Spirited Away, one of the most depressing ones and stuck in my mind
-Howl's Moving Castle
-Grave of the Fireflies, the sadness of this one still remains in my mind too
-The Cat Returns, I saw the full film as a kid but I don't remember most of the story and plot 😟
Here are some non-anime special mentions that inspired me to start watching anime
-Avatar, The Last Airbender and Korra
-Voltron
Aaand that's probably it. I know, my life is boring and there's probably hundreds or if not thousands more out there better than my list. So, I need your help Anime Lovers. Where do I start, and what can you recommend for me? Your help would be greatly appreciated 😊
