Ooo.

The Silmarillion is dense. So dense that I don't think even Peter Jackson could pull off a film version even if he had the rights to.

Considering how much he managed to piss off the Tolkien family with the Hobbit, that's not going to happen. :P
I was proud of him for putting in a redheaded elf... less proud when he involved her in a love triangle.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms seems a lot more convoluted, but at least the battles and strategies were quite refreshing. Also, I knew who was who thanks to an illustrated version done by a Malaysian painter.

If I'm not wrong, Chinese Literature students in Singapore do Dream of the Red Chamber.

Yeah, but I personally did not like that book. It was too...romancy.


Both Three Kingdoms and Dream of the Red Chamber are quite love laden, I suppose.

There's Isaac Yanev.

He's in Solum, and he has a,watered down gravity manipulation power. Also, he looks like Itona from Assassination Classroom.

If We didn't take Ignis's species into account, I'd say she be a houndoom or Hawlucha.

Kasumi is Japanese. Her sister is as well, but she doesn't use them nearly as much--Kasumi's just more traditional.

Not sure about that Blissly choice for Tsukuyomi. Also, can Tsukuyomi pull out the sword that Kusanagi is named after and tease them with it?
Wait, she wouldn't do that.... I totally would though.
The year’s at the spring,
And day’s at the morn;
Morning’s at seven;
The hill-side’s dew-pearled;
The lark’s on the wing;
The snail’s on the thorn;
God’s in His heaven—
All’s right with the world!

The history is interesting too.

Plus, I have a lot of fun figuring out the relationship between Chinese and Japanese; I'm fluent in the former and somewhat conversational in the latter.

Only thing is that people who see me trying to learn Japanese make anime references and things like that; they end up disappointed when I tell them I only read Assassination Classroom and One Piece.

Which, for some reason, nobody else seems to be interested in.

Also, weebs. There was a guy who once asked me how to write "ochinchin daisuki desu" just so he could use it surreptitiously in a Chinese essay.

I have a friend who's into One Piece.


Me, there's only one anime I watch and that's Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

Because it's dark, edgy, and has sparkly transformation sequences; what else could I ask for?


Also animated stuff tends to give me headaches and it's only twelve episodes and one movie sequel soooooooooooo it's much better for me than all the multi-season anime.


Ooh, you're learning Japanese? Me too! I'm still rudimentary at it, but I'm getting better!

I could probably sustain a short conversation with a cashier, at my current level. It'll be a while before I can read Wikipedia articles in Japanese.

I tried learning German and Russian, but I gave up on the latter. I do get to speak a bit of Chinese dialect here and there, as well as Peranakan Malay with my grandmother, but I'm far from being a polyglot. :p

PS: I've never heard of that anime. I only know the mainstream Shōnen Jump stuff :unsure:
