I really need to get around to watching that, I love Disney but I still have a backlog of films I need to watch. I probably saw it when I was young but I can't really remember it. I have listened to the soundtrack though and I love the main theme that plays during the dance scene. One of my favourite things about Disney films has always been the music. One of these days I'm going to have to do a marathon of all the Disney films

The Lion King. I have to admit that I'm a huge fan of Disney and The Lion King is one of my favourite Disney films of all time. It had a pretty good story, even if it was suspiciously similar to Hamlet. The soundtrack was absolutely unforgettable though.

Well these are quite old now, but Kino's Journey. It's also the anime that my avatar is from. Found it completely accidentally when I first got into anime. I was just searching for a certain song on youtube and an AMV with Kino's Journey showed up so I checked it out and decided to watch it. It's been one of my favourite anime for quite a while now. It's a really clever series that gets you thinking, but it's really obscure. I probably wouldn't have ever watched it if I hadn't stumbled on it by accident. I eventually got into the Light Novels too and I got completely addicted. Also Aria the Animation. I think I was browsing the MAL forums or something and someone mentioned it so I checked it. Had no idea what it really was at first but I ended up loving it. Seriously the most relaxing anime I've ever watched. The ending was amazing too, it's up there as one of the most emotional endings I've ever watched

Decided to do a cover of this beautiful piece from one of my favourite anime. I tried editing some clips in too, so there might be some spoilers if you haven't seen it. It took quite a few attempts and I'm not entirely happy with it but thanks for listening. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8VK6vULhNY

Sayaka. I think the way she was written was pretty clever. She's essentially a reversal of the stereotypical hero. If it had been any other anime she would have been the protagonist. What happened to her was a pretty cruel twist. She's also one of the more complex characters in my opinion. For example the whole thing with Kyosuke. She didn't necessarily want Kyosuke to be healed, she wanted to be the one to heal him so he would finally recognize her. Much in the same way that she doesn't just want her friends to be safe, she wanted to be the hero who protected them. It isn't until the end that she realizes everything she did was just for her own ego. I like all of the characters, Sayaka just seemed really fleshed out and relatable though, even if she is terribly abused throughout the entire anime.

This song has really butchered Engrish, but it's still really beautiful. One of my favourite ED themes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P5lUhHGudEw

This is genius. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1FCKaep2R0

Aria seriously has one of the most beautiful soundtracks I've ever listened to. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FTcjCTeqTY

Usually just Nyaa. For older series I go to BakaBT though because they tend to have the highest quality releases.

Not too bad. Although there was a pretty hilarious incident recently where porn ads started showing up all over the site because the owner made a mistake. Other than that it's ok though, a little less active than before though.

Venice. Only reason is because of Aria the Animation really lol. That show made Venice look so attractive. Always wanted to ride a gondola though. Also Japan. Akihabara in particular. It'd be pretty cool to go to a maid cafe or something.

As I mentioned before this is one of my favourite anime. Really unique series, I love anything that makes you think and there were some really clever episodes. Also this anime was so good at handling atmosphere. I loved both seasons, but I think season 2 topped the first.
