I think it’s time to have a proper introduction. Okay. Here it is:
‘Kon’nichi wa! Watashi wa Sasja desu.’
As you can see, my real name is Sasja, I’m 18 years old and living in Amsterdam. At the moment I’m still a kookoo-sei, an High school student. I’m a real moron, but that doesn’t matter.^^ Here you have your introduction, and I would like to explain the blog for you now.
The main reason why I started to blog last year was that I kept forgetting in what I’ve al watched. I’m a clumps, and I keep forgetting things. Also the episodes that I watched. So I blogged, still in Dutch, every episode that I watched so I was reminded of what I was watching. I did that for a couple of months, but then it became clear that I had to double my class once again if my English marks didn’t improve. So I did something drastically. I moved my blog from the Dutch site to Timeless Dreams, translated a lot in English and started to write. And it did help, but not in the short time I had left in my schoolyear. I had to double the class, and decided that I should have spent more time for school, so the Timeless Dreams began to make less reviews and blogged less. Unfortunally. Also I moved in the end of 2006, that made it even more difficult to blog. That’s why I’m blogging a few times in the month But! The summer vacation is around the corner. Yatta!
What I love to see in anime is a bunch of morons, friendship and randomn cases. One of the big examples that changed my view in anime is the anime Fruits Basket. I’m a big fan of that one. That’s why I’m also fond of Gintama (seriously, how random can you get^^) Samurai Champloo, Lovely Complex, Yamato Nadeshiko Shigi Henge and Pani Poni Dash. Anything as long if there is a moron in the anime cast.
What I despise is the romance slice of live High schoolgirls. Seriously, I can’t stand it. I really can’t. You don’t have to come to me for a ‘moe-anime’, also not for fanservice and some really, really bloody stuff. I can’t handle bloody things. It’s a miracle I can sit through Claymore and even be enjoyed when I watch it.
With my anime reviews I basically pay attention to ten things:
- The story
- The main characters
- The side characters
- The drama
- The humour
- The music
- The art
- The originality
- And at last: My overal enjoyment of the anime.
Every anime can score for each thing ten points. And that’s how I make my notes. Sounds clear, doesn’t it?
In the future I’m also going to blog manga. Now, it’s not yet the time. I do follow some mangas, namely Fruits Basket (how predictable), Tsubasa and Yamato Nadeshiko Shigi Henge. For Fruits Basket I just want to know everything that isn’t told in the anime, for Tsubasa I just want to know everything that is not yet been told in the anime and Yamato is really different from the anime.
Also I have to mention that I have a weird habit to bash into populair anime that I dislike. I’ll blog it on purpose to critizise the hell out of it. I don’t know why, but I really, really enjoy that, and I don’t care that I get angry comments because of that. In fact, I even enjoy that!
So, I think this is the manual for my blog. I hope you can handle my weird style and read this blog often (just as often as I update) and I hope you will enjoy this blog.
Positive Energy,
Timeless Dreams.
