~How did Joppy get into Anime?-

Twelve Years ago, I used to get up at 5:30 in the morning to nab Sailor Moon(What can I say? At the time, I loved that series, still do actually.) I didn’t get full blown into anime until I watched Neon Genesis Evangelion. After that, it seems that I became an Anime fan for life.

~Favorites in your 10+ years of anime watching?-

My favorites are Easy. Anything made by Key(Air, Kanon, CLANNAD(when it comes out), Anything made by KyoAni(Not just because it’s KyoAni, but they have better quality then most studios), Mahoraba, and Fate/Stay Night. Nogizaka Haruka no Himitsu is a favorite of mine as well.

~What characters are your favorites?

Back when my blog used to be called makieism, I wouldn’t name a blog Makieism if my Favorite character was not Makie Sasaki. Her Cheerfulness(and the fact she’s voiced by the great Yui Horie) have caused her to be my no. 1 fav.

Others include Akira Ookochi, Tohsaka Rin, Konata Izumi, and Primula.

Lately, I’ve become a huge fan of Nogizaka Haruka. The “Nuit Etoile” is love incarnate.

And Very Recently, I found Mio Akiyama from K-on to be very adorable.

~Why, or what, pretell, is Makieism?

Makieism is the fandom of Makie Sasaki first and Foremost. But did you know there is a second reason for Makieism?

It is a fandom for both Voice actresses for Makie. One is a rather Famous one, one is a relatively new one.

First we have Yui Horie, the master herself. She played roles as Kotori from Da Capo, Tamami from Mahoraba, Ayu from Kanon, Naru from Negima, Eri from School Rumble, and the list goes on and on.

Kate Oxley is a relatively new VA that has done mostly bit characters, until her big break as Makie Sasaki. She is also Momo in Peach Girl. I also noticed that she will play a role in Beck.

So Makieism supports the two VAs in all roles that they do.

And any others who play Makie in different countries.

~Where can I find you?

You could drop a line at jopchan_121@hotmail.com. Or, on IRC- #Aquastar-anime@ irc.rizon.net or #dasaku@irc.rizon.net.

Finally, you could search for me at the Aquastar Anime Forums.

Edit: Why the namechange?

-The reason for the namechange is simple. I was tired of a -ism Blog name.
