A lot about my taste https://i.ur.com/93lhhlh.png Manga: Ive been reading manga since I was a little girl so I guess I could consider myself a longtime aficionada. During the years my bookcase has hosted well over 1k manga volumes and I dont really want to know how much money that is ahah. As a teenager I used to randomly buy shoujo and shounen but now that Im older I pay much more attention to what I read although my taste has broadened to include josei and seinen too. I love the Year 24 Group and many of those works such as Eroicahttps://anilist.co/manga/31022/ BeruBarahttps://anilist.co/anime/338/ and KazeKihttps://anilist.co/manga/31365/ are among my favourite ones. I always appreciate romcoms like LovComhttps://anilist.co/manga/30031/ or Venus in Lovehttps://anilist.co/manga/31171/ although I usually prefer more angsty atmospheres with suspense adventure and maybe some horror and psychological elements. Neverlandhttps://anilist.co/manga/87423/ or Afterschool Nightmarehttps://anilist.co/manga/30710/ would be a perfect example of that even if they are in no way similar works. I also love LGBT+ themes especially when in realistic works like Shimanami Tasogarehttps://anilist.co/manga/87208/ Double Househttps://anilist.co/manga/33588/ or Kyuusohttps://anilist.co/manga/32704/. But I must be honest and say that I like BL in general and have read a lot of those which is probably why my mean manga score is so low flash news in case you didnt know: BL sucks. I admit I am a lazy reader when it comes to manga as I tend to read a lot of soso works just because they have elements I like. But hopefully I can get better in the future : Anime: my taste in anime is similar the only difference being that it is much more refined so I tend to watch and like only good shows with some exception of course. Im a sucker for wellfinished direction and in general I give a lot of importance to technical elements e.g. animation backgrounds colours details music. Satoshi Konhttps://anilist.co/staff/99580/SatoshiKon represents my ideal when it comes to direction although Shinichiro Watanabehttps://anilist.co/staff/97009/ShinichiroWatanabe and Masaaki Yuasahttps://anilist.co/staff/100068/MasaakiYuasa come close. As for anime series Sakamichi no Apollonhttps://anilist.co/anime/12531/ and Tatami Galaxyhttps://anilist.co/anime/7785/ will always be my reference for perfection. I often think that the more a series is animelike i.e. follows common anime tropes the less I like it Code Geasshttps://anilist.co/anime/1575// probably being the only exception. This could sound like a paradox but it only means I really dislike stereotypes. Ive been following seasonal anime on and off for years now and although I end up dropping most of what I start I have a lot of fun. Everything else: I also love books movies music and art. My all time favourite book is The Man Who Laughshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheManWhoLaughs followed by Oscar Wildes prose The lies of Locke Lamorahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TheLiesofLockeLamora and Robin Hobbhttp://www.robinhobb.com/s fantasy series. I also like Jane Austen and books for children. I cannot neglect Manzonis The Betrothedhttps://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipromessisposi which not only laid the foundation of my native language but helped invent modern narration itself. Lastly speaking of narration Stardusthttps://www.goodreads.com/book/show/16793.Stardust has to be mentioned as well it is a very brief novel Lelouch Vi Britannia ga meijiru you read it. As for movies I have so many I love I cant be exhaustive but just to mention a few: A.I.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A.I.ArtificialIntelligence Captain Fantastichttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt3553976/ Pans Labyrinthhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pan27sLabyrinth and Sam Raimis SpiderMan trilogy. The Mafia Kills only in Summer is among my favourites too even if it is a tv series. But it managed to make me proud of Italy for once because its well done not because I support mafia lol so I think I had to mention it. I dont understand anything about music so theres that. For what it counts I love Tschaikowsky Florence+The Machine Ashramhttps://www..com/watch?v=u1JtoLjac Crystal Castles The Cranberries and The Beatles. I also love lofi future funk retro wave and jpop. My favourite artists are Klimt Caravaggio Bernini Mucha Van Gogh Donatello Michelangelo Canova. I have definitely forget a few I know it. I love symbolism impressionism and art nouveau. I have a passion for fairytales illustrations I collect them. My favourite artist is Kay Nielsenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KayNielsen. I also love pin ups I like to think theyre the waifus of old times. Gil Elvgrenhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GilElvgren made the best girls in my opinion. Lastly my other hobby is alternative fashion. Mori kei is my main style although I wear lolita goth/dark and vintage inspired styles too. A little about me https://i.ur.com/93lhhlh.png Im 24 years old and I live in Italy. Ive got a bachelors degree in Psychology and Im currently studying for my masters degree. I can speak Italian and English and Im slowly learning Japanese. Im a cheerful girl and I love nature bugs dont count though. I dont have many talents or abilities but I always do my best.
