Hello everybody!

I had an account here, but when I forgot my password and when I tried to retrieve it it bugs щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

Btw, I don't know if my profile will be cool or not as I am too lazy to make one as cool as the other one ಥ_ಥ

I'm a french teen who always loved the otaku world and generally, japanese culture.

Everything started with my love for the Studio Ghibli's movies, and then I fell in love for real with animes and mangas (I prefer mangas).

I won't say that I like a specific genre of anime/manga, if I like the story and the characters (especially the art) I'll read that manga or watch that anime, but I can tell you what are my favourite genres or the ones I read the most (and I'll give you an explanation for each one) so, let's start ! And that's all! I love those genres, they are my favourites ones, BUT I'm very open to many others!
 * 1) Shoujo : I love shoujos, I'm not afraid to say it because I don't think it is shameful to like romantic things (bc yes, I'm a big fangirl) and ship couples etc. the fact is that unfortunately I am very selective with mangas, especially with shoujos also if they are my favourite genre, because I need a love story in a manga, but also if it is the very first theme, I wanna see other plots in the story not only the love story between the characters. I know that shoujos don't have to have many genres in it or another story than the love one in it, but I prefer more realistic things because dreaming is ok but let's be rational. So that's why I like shoujos, but not the typical ones!
 * 2) Supernatural : I don't really have an explanation for this one, I adore the supernatural world in general so seeing it in an anime or in a manga it's quite pleasing for me as much as the love story! I'm not talking about magical girls, because I read sailor moon because I HAD TO AS IT IS A CLASSIC but I'm not a big fan of it. I prefer more serious things.
 * 3) Mystery : YAS I LUV THIS ONE, because life is a mystery, isn't it? we encounter mystery in everyday things and it's very exciting for me. I love everytime characters are involved in something or when there is a huge mystery to solve during the whole manga, I love the process of the researches.
 * 4) Thriller : IT DEPENDS, but I quite like it when it is not too terrible or exaggerated.
 * 5) Action : I think that this one is as important as the shoujo one for me, I love when action is put together with shoujo and supernatural *^*. I think that every action part in a manga or in an anime is very important because you understand in a deeper way the bond that every character has for each other or the true personality of the characters and I love very much this. You start caring a lot more for them and once you start caring for the characters of the manga or the anime IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL AND IMPORTANT.
 * 6) Comedy : Well, yes I like drama, but I need some fun too, OKAY?! We must take a break sometimes just sitting and laughing.
 * 7) Drama : It's the same for comedy.
 * 8) Josei : I really like this genre as it is general enough because it's targetted for a big age range like 18 to 40 years old, so that's great, especially because they give a lot of importance to the love story but in a more realistic way so less dreamy, and with other topics in the middle like in Nana or Paradise Kiss. This genre is one of my favourites without thinking it twice.
 * 9) Psychological : Yes, I quite love this genre, because also if I don't read every single time this kind of mangas or watch this kind of animes, I always try to think about the psychology of the various characters, so I put the psychological part everywhere XD. I think it's important to understand in a better way the story of course.
 * 10) Shounen : Yes, yes, yes.
 * 11) Slice of life : Well, we all read a slice of life manga or watched a slife of life anime, right? I think that sometimes it is good for your heart, just distracting.

Maybe my list is too long, but do you know what, I DON'T CARE AT ALL, BECAUSE NOW I'LL TELL YOU MY FAVOURITE ANIMES/MANGAS MUAHAHAH.

I won't divide them in genres or preferences, maybe I'll write something about them or not so well, here youa re :

Gakuen Alice : My first manga and anime ever, and my favourite manga, because the anime unfortunatley changed a lot of things and there is only one season also if the manga is very long. By the way, it's a great manga, with romance, action, mystery, drama, comedy, a lot of supernatural...so it is pretty obvious that this one is my favourite.

Paradise Kiss : I love Ai Yazawa, I read the manga and watched the anime and they are both great and they respected a lot her particular art style, and I love that. Ai Yazawa impressed me a lot because she is the queen of Josei and her art style is not like every single manga, or to express myself in a better way, you immediately recognize that this is an Ai Yazawa manga or anime, her style is a bit more realistic and way more personal.

Dengeki Daisy : Despite its popularity, this manga has never been adapted into an anime series, which is pretty bad because it's a really good manga involving a lot of things and especially a technological informatic problem, with hackers and even more wich is not very common in a shoujo or generally, in mangas.

Nana : Ai Yazawa again! I explained myself really well before hehe, so I can only tell you that I love the story and the characters x)
