User:The Humble Nintendo Master

Hello there. Here, my name is The Humble Nintendo Master, but you can call me Humble, Master, or HNM if you like (any of them is fine with me, but the first two are especially flattering, albeit in completely different ways, ha ha). I just consider myself someone who appreciates a wide variety of different types of art and entertainment. However, I'm especially enthusiastic about anything with good storytelling, well-realized and relatable characters, and poignant themes/messages... bonus points if it truly touches me emotionally. Sure, Nintendo in general has been one of my most prominent and long-time loves, especially the Super Mario and The Legend of Zelda franchises for all the timeless excitement, wonder and joy they've brought into my life. However, the truth is my interests and hobbies are actually pretty eclectic. Here's just a partial list of things I like from different mediums of entertainment (since that's what FANDOM is about in general) so that you can get an idea of what I'm into and if you share any of the same tastes (again, these are just some of the best examples of what I like from each medium, so don't see it as a complete list):

Anime
As far as anime films go, I've see and love the majority of Studio Ghibli films, as well as some of the output from the likes of Mamoru Hosoda, Makoto Shinkai and Satoshi Kon. In This Corner of the World, Interstella 5555 and Maquia: When the Promised Flower Blooms all deserve mention as well.

Music/Artists
Ah, now we get to the real bulk of the page; my taste in music is so eclectic, that I have to give people at least some idea of the kind of variety of musicians and genres I listen to, even if is lengthy. Here are most of the easier groups and artists for me to single out as ones I like: Oh, and I also love a lot of Eurodance and some Japanese composers like Yoko Kanno, Yuki Kajiura, Joe Hisaishi, Susumu Hirasawa, Jun Maeda, Taku Iwasaki and Koji Kondo.
