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...

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...

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...

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...

Who Am I?
| Name |
Matt Francis |

23.08.78 |
| Which means my age is... |
18! |
| Hobbies? |
Programming, learning Japanese, Anime and Manga. |

A P120, 16 Megs, dilapidated 2x CD drive and about 2G of assorted HDs (Plus blu-tak, string and a few screws...) |

Hmm...... no. Moooore! Must... have... |

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...)
