1. Who is your favorite singer/band and what genre of music are you most
into?
My favourite singer is, hand down, Tori Amos. It was love at first hearing when I first listened to Under the Pink. I've been addicted since then.
I'm not sure there's one peculiar genre of music I have as a favourite, I do like to listen to all kind of stuff. Mostly rock, I guess, but I'm not adverse to other genres. Except for metal, I don't like metal.
2. What homosexual couple has touched you the most?
VerlainexRimbaud OTP forever !
Seriously, I think they were my first slash ship ^^ Tragic, romantic, dark and violent, what's not to like ?
And I love Verlaine's poetry, it's touched me deeply all throught my teenage. I like some of Rimbaud's poetry too, not all of it (it can be slightly too pretentious for my taste) but some poems are just gorgeous.
3. What are your favorite anime and/or manga of all time and why?
Gunnm (aka Battle Angel Alita) It was one of my first manga, and is still a favourite. Excellent plot, story, design, characters. Science Fiction world deeply fascinating. It's just an excellently made manga and I have a soft spot forever for it.
Maybe if Tokyo Babylon was better drawn it would have stolen this place in my heart ;) but i'm not sure.
4. If you had a chance to direct a live action version of any anime/manga series, what would it be and who would you cast?
Humm good question. I seldom play the 'who would you cast as' game, so this is going to be difficult. And it's weird to think of a live action anime without asian actors, but my knowledge of japanese actors certainly doesn't allow me to cast them !
I think i would like to do X, just for the appeal of all the magic and esoteric in it. But I did try and I can't cast anyone for the X characters O_O; sorry ! I just don't know enough actors ! At all !
5. How did you first get into anime?
Oh, dear ! I don't know !
See in the eighties when I was a little kid there were an insane amount of japan cartoons on French TV. Way more than any other kind. Good stuff. I grew up watching things like Cobra, Albator, City Hunter, Cat's Eyes, Ranma 1/2, Kimagure Orange Road, Saint Seya and many, many others. So when I was a little bit older, early teenagehood and the animated movies like Ghost in the Shell, Porco Rosso and Grave of the Fireflies started to hit the movie theater, it was very natural for me to go watch them. And I can't even remember for how long i've been reading mangas (and I usually just read them at the stores, i very seldom buy them *coughs*) except that Gunnm was one of the first one.
I generally prefer mangas to anime too. I'm not rich enough to buy animes and discovered Bit Torrent only recently ^_^
6. What languages can you speak? What languages would you like to learn?
I speak French, English. I took Spanish as my secondary language in High School but I deeply suck and barely can speak it. I took also Latin but that's... *shrugs*
I'd love to learn lots of languages, japanese, hebrew, arabs among other things.
7. What does "etrangere" mean?
It means Stranger (and it's a female form). I took that name from a book where Stranger was the name of both a god among seven, and the horse of one of my favourite character because I thought it'd be funny. I think it suits me - I always feel like a stranger in a group.
8. What yaoi anime have you seen and yaoi manga have you read?
I don't think I've watched any yaoi anime. Yaoi manga i've read, well, there's Fake (up to tome 3), one I can't remember the name which is being released currently in France, Zetsuai which I thought was boring, New York, New York which is a sweet kind of Shounen Ai.... in scanlation several Kaori Yuki ones like Boys next door. Do Count Cain count as shounen ai ? Yami no Matsuei... I think that's pretty much it. Oh ! And Lawful Drugs, how could I forget Lawful Drugs, and, ya know just all those Clamp mangas full of shounen ai ^^
Yaoi is something I've become interested in rather recently.
Thank you for your questions I had fun answering them ^^
