Hello(a.k.a that one thread that'd be forgotten in few hours)

SugarKitty · Aug 24, 2016

Hello, I'm SugarKitty and as you can see I'm a new member.
My interests include manga and books (in short, reading),glasses and traps. As for anime it's been a while since I've seen likable series so I'm open for any kind of recommendations.
I've tried TS-ing for like 4 hours but gave up because I'm a lazy piece of shit.

Pleased to meet you. ~~not really~~

P.S. in advance, I'm not a tsundere!

Hi and welcome!

What kind of manga or books you like? I could try give some anime recommendations.

I read pretty much every genre so mostly it depends on the story itself, though I'd say that psychological romances are my best bet.
As for books, I prefer adventures, stories with psychological elements, detectives and historic romances. My favorite books include Gone With The Wind, Green Mile, The Count of Monte Cristo (interestingly enough I never tire of this book),The Gadfly, any of Verne's books and some others. Lately I've also been into Kafka and Dostoevsky, with Akutagawa being my love since I discovered him.

Okay. Have you tried Boku dake ga Inai Machi or Mushishi?

SugarKitty · Aug 24, 2016

I've seen/read both.

Riku · Aug 24, 2016

Ah, damn. Both are serious good though. What about Monster or Kino's Journey?

SugarKitty · Aug 24, 2016

Yeah, I know, thus the reason I've seen both.
I challenged Monster several times but I've never been able to get past 9th episode. Kino seems to have a "good aura" but it's a bit too chill (or boring as SOL tends to be)for my current mood.

Maybe try the Monster manga? It's maybe my all time favorite. Something bit more action-y eh? Maybe Kaiji? Or have you seen any of Satoshi Kons productions? Paranoia Agent (series), or films (Paprika, Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress, Tokyo God Fathers).

SugarKitty · Aug 24, 2016

I was thinking of doing that but sometimes this author tends to really drag things on. Billy Bat exhausted me even despite being as interesting as it is.Oh, I love both Kaiji and Akagi, it's a very good example of what I'm looking for. I've only seen Tokyo Godfathers but I think something more lighthearted would would do the trick.
