My Favorite Anime!

Ok, now that I have my manga favorites out of the way, I'll take the time to do the same for my anime favorites.

I just watched and revisited a whole bunch of shows so I have a better idea of these. Here we go!

 FIRST! Shugo Chara

This anime probably had the most impact on my younger years. It gave me so much hope for my future and was just a pleasant and happy experience even when I found out it was an anime for little children. (>.<;)

SECOND! K-on

Oh gee, this one definitely was the most influential on me after Shugo Chara. K-on was pretty popular within the anime watching community I was a part of and I enjoyed it so much I'm pretty sure I was devastated when it ended. It tricked me though! I was sure Houkago Tea Time (the band formed in show) was a band in real life! OTL

THIRD! Magi: The Labyrinth/Kingdom of Magic

I watched this because of the manga and I'm glad I did. It was nice to hear my baby Morgiana's voice and see her move and all that. (^-^)

FOURTH! Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions (Chunibyo Demo Koi ga Shitai)

This is one of the more recent ones that made it onto my favorites list. It made me laugh then made me cry. It's characters touched me deeply but I will admit the story was a bit lacking. It felt kind of. . . not forced but rushed? I guess?? Maybe??? BUT anyway I need to watch the second season of that. So I'll get on it. ~eventually~

FIFTH! Mayo Chiki

Talk about exciting! This one starts off with a bang and stays playful throughout. I'm a huge fan of male characters with glasses with that kind of smart aleck attitude I did feel for the dude with all he had to go through but it was hilarious. One for the ages (^-^)

SIXTH! AKB0048

This anime captured my heart and had me in tears by the end. It rekindled my interest in idol anime (though its a fairly new concept I think) and had me downloading all kinds of anime music . . .

SEVENTH! Gatchaman Crowds

This anime was probably the third most influential on my life after Shugo Chara and K-on. This one restored my faith in humanity and provided such a great take on the way we can see people around us. It gave me back the positivity I had lost sight of. And I guess was indirectly the reason I started this blog? I reconnected with my optimism and inner peace by relating to the main character and I wanted to firmly keep hold of it by staying connected to the anime and manga that allowed me to develop that part of me in the first place.

It became the sunlight that allowed the dormant seed of happiness to sprout within me. I couldn't help but want to share that sunlight. (^-^*)

I'll stop there, because I ended my manga list at seven and because I doubt any other anime I've watched have lived up to these, so I probably won't add any more until something else touches me.

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!

Poofy, Frilly, Loli Me

I'm almost sure my title is a reference to something but I don't know what it is...

Any who, This will be my first Lolita post! The one where I announce I have no Lolita wardrobe! I'm eager to start though. Truth be told I don't have a job yet so I don't have the money for sewing supplies let alone an actual brand piece. Though I already know what style I'd go for: Classic!

Ah I cant wait until I can make something. Recently I've been on a real hunt for loli-able pieces in my price bracket but little has come up so far.

But I found this one site with the cutest pieces! It's called Accessorize.com and it has some brilliantly perfect loli-able accessories. But accessories are nothing without clothes...

Wish me luck lollies!

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!

My Favorite Manga!

I'll start things off with some of my favorite manga to date!

I'm not going to go in any particular order just because I feel it's easier to list them that way.

FIRST! Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic

This manga just makes me happy overall. I'd been feeling lately that the manga I was reading were really light and didn't deal with very many rough subjects. At least not any rough subjects out of the norm. For me one of the appeals of manga is that it does just that. It's rough and doesn't sugarcoat life. Which is why I was really happy to find one that dealt with subjects like slavery and wars and human rights but still manages to maintain an overall happy feel. The antics between the characters make them feel really human and interesting. I can't wait to learn more about them! Unfortunately I'm not up to date on this one . . .

SECOND! Haikyuu!!

I like this manga because it's been developing in a really natural way, and isn't over the top with the characters' standout abilities. This is another one that has character's whose interactions make me smile!

(On a side note, I'll see if I can find a way to insert smiley faces in these. I feel these are empty without expressions :/)

THIRD! Katekyo Hitman Reborn!

Now for one I've actually finished. Oh man this manga was full of laughs and was really sweet! and the character development was wonderful! Even though you have to get through 150+ chapters of gag manga before a plot develops I even enjoyed that. It's been a while so I don't really remember the ending but I get a vague sense it may have been slightly unsatisfactory? or maybe it was a great ending. :O Who Knows?

FOURTH! +Anima

Speaking of cute! This was one of the cutest, sweetest stories I've ever had the pleasure of laying my eyes on. I was so happy when the last chapter was finally made available!

FIFTH! Medaka Box

This manga was a roller coaster ride from beginning to end. I liked how it kept me guessing the whole way through and provided a really interesting view of the world. The art style was really awesome too!

SIXTH! Nanamix

If I remember correctly, this one was really short but a cute love story nonetheless. The art style was what left the biggest impression on me honestly.

SEVENTH! Kiss x Sis

I haven't been keeping up with this lately but goodness I like a good ecchi manga, and this one puts me on edge with all the shenanigans that happen xD

For now I'll leave it at that but there are probably more, especially on the ecchi side, shut away from my memory from my young innocent years. These manga all never failed to make me smile, even when they were sad.

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!

Hello! I'd Like to be Known as Forever Sun

I don't really have a reason to remain anonymous in this blog but for now I will. I'm kind of starting this on a whim so we'll see how it goes!

There are a few things I'd like to do with this blog. Mainly, I need a proper outlet for my interests and a place where I'm not embarrassed to like things as I like them. For me those interests include anime and manga, Lolita fashion, and j-pop/idols and such. So aspects of Japanese culture. I have other interests outside of these things but that's not important because I have proper outlets for those.

As for the name I've chosen, that's just because I like the idea of spreading warmth to the world. I think it's a nice  concept especially in the realm of idols since that's how they help me feel. "I'd like to fill the world with happiness - like you're being bathed by sunlight!" Something like that.

Right now, I'm at a time in my life where I don't have much confidence. I did once but it was recently shaken. SO I've decided to re-root my confidence by exploring my likes and dislikes and doing something about my bad habits. Such as negativity that feeds into other people.

So you could say this blog is partially therapeutic.

I guess I'll make a tag like for now. Something cute. . .

Here's wishing you sunshine and happiness!
