Matt's Little Corner
Irasshai!
Gratuitious Mug Shot
That's "Welcome!" for anyone out there who can't read Japanese. I'm afraid I don't have any digitised pictures of myself right now, so you'll have to settle for this rather charming little cliché instead. Feel free to make yourself at home amongst my thoughts; why not help yourself to some of the coffee?


For those struggling with a slow link, I've made a quick index to the site in plain text. I guess this corner isn't so little any more. There's no truth in advertising these days...

Anime Sections


I maintain the Ghibli, Miyazaki and Takahata Worldwide page, all about where, when, and how the works of Studio Ghibli and the Anime geniuses Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata have travelled around the world. Take a peek...
Ghibli Page

Sailors Mercury, Moon and Mars
Sailor Stars is the latest and apparently last series of Sailor Moon. Since someone lent me an episode I went and bought the soundtrack ('cos I liked it), so this page is mainly on the CD, with some song translations by myself.

Heard of Tenkuu no Escaflowne ('Escaflowne of the Sky' / 'The Vision of Escaflowne') yet? No? Then what rock have you been living under all year? Read about the series that most of those from Anime Anonymous Sheffield that have seen reckon is even better than Evangelion...

Hitomi, Vaughn and Meryl

Translation
Here are some manga translations by myself, including Dr. Slump, Assembler 0X,and Moon Fight!, and an assortment of song romanisations and translations. Also, don't forget to check out the new translation of Macross 7 Trash, courtesy of Koji Kiyokawa...

I'm also a member of the #SAS# (That's the "Sasami Appreciation Society" to you), a small group of people that think Sasami's the greatest. Isn't she cute?
The #SAS# page is somewhere in the Sasami Shrine
Sometime I may write my own Sasami section, but in the mean time, have a look round the shrine...

Myself

Who Am I?

Name Matt Francis
Date of Birth 23.08.78
Which means my age is... 18!
Hobbies? Programming, learning Japanese,
Anime and Manga.
Computer this page was written on A P120, 16 Megs, dilapidated 2x CD drive and about 2G of assorted HDs (Plus blu-tak, string and a few screws...)
Is that big enough? Hmm...... no. Moooore! Must... have...
Can afford more? Er... nope. *snif*. Somebody give me a job? ("Student : Will work for food...")


Where Am I?

I've lived in Cambridge in the southeast of England, a friendly and overall nice place to be, for somewhere over 10 years. Currently, though, I'm taking a degree in Computer Science at the University of Sheffield. This was a little bit of a culture shock, as Cambridgeshire is one of the flattest places in England, whereas Sheffield is pretty much continuous Landscape. (It's said that Sheffield has 7 hills. Feels like a damn sight more than that when you've got to walk them...)

 


E-Mail

Because I'm a student, I regrettably suffer from a rash of e-mail adresses. All of them should reach me eventually, however aca96mjf@shef.ac.uk or u6mjf@dcs.shef.ac.uk will reach me fastest in term, and Asbel@dial.pipex.com out of term. Your mileage may, I'm afraid, vary. Information, praise, corrections, constructive criticism, people offering me jobs or otherwise just randomly talking about Anime are all highly welcome!



Well, this is it. The Bottom. Come back soon!
You were honoured guest no. since Feb. 1st 1997

Sasami and Ryoohki again
