    New thread, woop woop!

    *coughs* I saw the word anime and I just couldn’t resist. Allow me to barge in. @sarah-inkdragon @sarah-narnathron I actually only started watching anime at the beginning of this school year. Before that, I was like, “Nope! Not gonna become one of those anime-loving freaks!” *glares at computer* Then a couple of my summertime friends and I were having this discussion on Naruto (which I know pretty much everything about) and then by the end I was like, “BTW, I don’t watch Naruto. or any anime.” Their shocked reactions were enough to throw me into the anime universe. So, lately, I’ve been reading a lot of manga (Including Fullmetal Alchemist, and A Silent Voice) and by the time I’m finished with them both, I’ll watch the anime adaptions. Your Lie In April was the first anime I watched and as a pianist and a regular person I have to say that it is beautifully made and one of my favorites. I also have watched all of Studio Ghibli. I would love to continue ranting but I think I’ll just wait until @sarah-inkdragon creates an anime thread because I think that ranting about anime might annoy people.

    I also just started this past school year, so . . . *hi5s fellow semi-newbie* I haven’t made the dive into manga yet, though. Haven’t decided if I will or not, mostly because my TBR list is huge as it is. And that’s two recommendations for Your Lie in April, so now I really feel like I need to watch it.

    What’s your favorite Studio Ghibli movie(s)?

    @sarah-narnathron We need to meet and binge watch FT together. 😉 Yes, Jerza is epic. So is Zervis(Zeref & Mavis). And Gruvia. (Look at me, sounding like a properly obsessed fangirl and all.) And yes, the book is much better than the movie. I do like that there was a bit more romance to the movie though(I’m a sucker for romance) and I love the animation and music.

    Storms yes. That would be fabulous. And I agree about Gruvia; I haven’t seen enough about Zervis to have an opinion about it. My roommate (who’s watched almost the whole show) loves them, though. I also somehow became partial to Gajeel x Levi (don’t know their official ship name) . . . probably because my roommate is crazy for them, but they did become kinda cute in the last 60-odd episodes. (That’s saying something, because I probably spent 20-30 episodes after Gajeel showed back up glaring at him . . .) Anyway.

    I don’t know, I liked the book’s romance. Maybe it’s not as romance-y as in the movie, but I like the subtle, gradual shift in Sophie’s feelings and how you look back midway through the book and realize all the things that showed Howl cared, and . . . yeah. I’m a little biased, though, because Howl’s Moving Castle is one of my favorite books of all time. But yes, the animation and music are beautiful.

    @sageinthemeadow Haha, thanks. xD And never be embarrassed about how much you’d ve done/watched of something you enjoy unless it’s something legitimately bad. That’s my thought. (Can’t say I always follow it, but . . . I try.) Also, I just looked up Noragami and what. It sounds awesome, and nothing like anything I’ve ever read/watched before. I didn’t know I needed it in my life until now, but I need it in my life.
