Interests Meme


If you leave a comment on this post, I will give you five subjects with which I associate you. You may then take those five subjects, post this meme in your LJ, and elaborate on what you have posted.

Fruits Basket - One of my all-time favorite anime/manga. It's reallyi ncredible how Takaya Natsuki was able to create such a large cast, and yet she managed to give most of them heaps of character development. (Some were a little left out in the cold, like Ritsu, but that's just being picky.) It was also great to have a romantic story in which you honestly didn't know who the heroine would pick until halfway in, which made me that much happier when they guy I prefered won Tohru's heart. (Especially since for a while, I really thought the story was leading toward the other.) I can't believe it's almost over (in the English translation)! *sniffles*

Grey's Anatomy - It's funny, because everybody who knows me well knows that I can't stand anything gross involving blood and guts and all that kind of stuff. It's gotten to the point that my parents and sister will warn me before they start talking about things like that, so I can stick my fingers in my ears and sing nonsense to myself until it's all over. (I'm so mature.) Yet, I love this show. Granted, I do usually cover my eyes during the surgeries, but still... It's just great fun. (And Patrick Dempsey is very easy on the eyes, even if his character is kind of a jerk.)

Sailor Moon - My gateway drug into the world of anime and manga. Technically not my first exposure to anime -- that honor belongs to an anime version of "The Little Mermaid" that I didn't realize was anime until after I watched SM -- but I mostly consider it as much. And I still love it as much as I did all those those years ago when I first saw the dub on TV. It's a love affair that will never, never end, even if it's no longer my favorite anime/manga anymore. After all, it's the fandom that first got me into fanfiction. ^_^

Sims - Ah, my obsession of obsessions of the moment, even when I'm not allowing myself to play. It's really become an addiction, guys. -_- It's so crazy. I mean, I was known to get a little obsessed with Sims 1 back in the day (until my game started getting buggy and it became annoying to play), but with Sims 2, it's almost like a twenty-four hour thing. If I'm not doing something Sims related, then you can be pretty sure I'm at least thinking of it. *laughs* Totally sucks for my writing, though. I wish I could get back into being this involved in fanfiction.

Someday's Dreamers - So, so sad that this little slice of life/magical girl -- two of my favorite genres -- gem never really caught on here in the States. Even sadder that it's very unlikely that the second anime series and third manga series will ever be licensed in English. (I can't even find scanlations of the manga past the first couple of chapters.) People just don't know what they're missing, unfortunately. :(

Even though I've now seen stuff that's technically better than SM I still love it the most, maybe because it was my gateway drug as well. I'm sad about Fubura ending too:(

Yeah, with Tokyopop restructuring and in danger of bankruptcy and all that, I don't think we'll be seeing any more Someday's Dreamers, sadly. I'm glad I got the first anime when I did, though; prob'ly hard to find now!
