This is Moonie of Moonie's Menagerie! I figured before I get into the really fun content like my latest volume 1 reviews I should take a moment to introduce myself!
Obviously my name is Moonie and I'm an avid fan of media from all over the world, though my content will mostly focus on Japanese and Korean media. I love to read manga, play video games, crochet, and listen to K-pop! I've recently taken up learning to play Go and I've been working this year on studying Korean. For my day job I work as a software engineer at a small business in the middle of farmland.
When it comes to manga my favorite demographic is likely Shounen so you'll see a lot of that here. I do branch out and check out other genres but what can I say other than I love a good battle. Some of my favorite series include Fairy Tail, Haikyu, and Twin Star Exorcists. When it comes to Shoujo I'm more into the romcom ones or ones that break the boundaries of what a typical Shoujo is. For example I love Yona of the Dawn. It was even my first series! Though it definitely doesn't feel like your typical shoujo if you know what I mean.
My taste in anime is extremely similar to my taste in manga. Though there is one genre of anime that I adore that you will rarely catch me reading, and that's male idol animes. I'm a sucker for well drawn men in bright colored clothes singing and dancing. The best of these has to be IDOLiSH7 though I've seen many. I also love binge watching older animes. Just since October I've binged 3 new favorite series that all started in 2010 or earlier. These would be D.Gray-Man, Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Hikaru No Go. As of writing this I am currently binging Yu Yu Hakusho and loving it!
I also mentioned that I love K-pop which given my love of male idol animes my favorite groups probably won't be a shocker to anyone. My number one group has to be BTS. They were my first and still my main after 6 years. A close second is Stray Kids followed by The KingDom. I love so many other groups too but to list them would take all day. I love the fun beats and happy messages I find throughout the music of these groups. I also love the personality of all the boys and constantly wish them luck as it's a hard business to be in.
I'm a bit of a gamer when I have the time to sit down and work on one, though that usually is only on the weekends unless it's a farm sim. My games tend to fall into 2 genres, farm sims for relaxation and jrpgs for plot. No matter which I pick if there is an easy mode that's the mode I'm picking! I hate grinding. Some of my favorite games are the Trails of Cold Steel series, Stardew Valley, and Tales of Arise.
Lastly, I love to create things. I mentioned crocheting but I also draw, do embroidery, and can even make an origami crane from memory. I love to do large projects but I also love, especially with drawing, those goofy little ones you can spit out real quick and feel a sense of accomplishment. Creating something is one of the best feelings.
My goals for this blog are to mostly be able to go more in depth than I can on my Instagram. I want to be able to share more detailed reviews, chat with fellow fans, and spread a love of so many wonderful series. Most importantly though I want to have fun! That's the key to everything I do when it comes to my hobbies! So hopefully this will be a place full of fun and love.
