Crou (/crou/; 'crow' in crown) is an online blog where I post about anime and fashion, adding some random ones here and there! Mainly I post about anime recommendations, fashion related posts about anime/Japan fashion/aesthetics stuff like that, top favourites, and pretty much anything in those themes!
Crou is the name I chose inspired by FRaU, a Japanese women's magazine that once featured Levi Ackerman (number one husbando of all time).
I refer to myself as Cloudia, well atleast in this blog. The name came from one of the people in Undertaker's (Black Butler) mourning lockets, and coincidentally our birthdates are close! Teika came from Undertaker's romanji pronunciation.
I hope you enjoy the content!
I'm planning to make an Instagram account for this blog as well!
Being a fan of Detective Conan and falling for Kaito Kid in basically every episode he ever appeared in, I just had to watch the spin off!
~~No spoilers~~
I love the animation, it reminds me a little of CloverWorks, especially with the skin and colors. This anime is much more goofy compared to how he is portrayed in Detective Conan, however, that is kind of the point of Magic Kaito 1412. He isn't less cool, just more of a character this time. Story-wise, it is worth following, I thought would be just a thrown-in plot for the sake of more appearances of a favorite character. I was proven wrong though as it can clearly stand on its own. As for the characters, honestly, they are good but are not as interesting as they made Kaito to be. Inspector Nakamori could've been portrayed a little cooler, as Detective Conan had. Aoko's character is not bad, I just wish she was less childish. Antagonists and Antihero characters were by far on par with Kaito Kid in terms of interest. Other than that, I recommend this anime a lot.

Mamiya Tsukiko
Her LeviHan Fanarts are just 💋👌.
I first saw her work in Smut Doujinshi then after some searching, I found her Pixiv account and her Twitter. Here's a link to her profile card that has the links to all her socials. Highly Recommend you check out her work!

Her LeviHan Fanarts are not just Fanarts but interesting comedic writing, it's very much a fan parody, the kind every levihan Cultist would eat up in a heart beat.
According to her Instagram, her name is Sophie. Her Tumblr page full of illustrations from as early as 2015.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find the author at all, just that these comics were originally in Spanish and was compiled in Wattpad. Another person translated those work and also compiled in the same platform but is now long deleted. But fortunately for us, it is available in Pinterest!
To commemorate the launch of this new blog, here's a list of anime characters I find fashionable and over all lovable!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
5. Isabella Yamamoto (Paradise Kiss)
Style: 💋💋💋💋
Likeability: ❤️❤️❤️
She's my second favourite character in Paradise Kiss. Being kindest out of all of them, she is quite neutral, and well as we know, that's the most reliable friend in the squad. I don't exactly feel sorry for her (because of her economic status) but I do admire her strength in feminity in a way she reminds me a lot of Cinderella. She is kind and giving. She's just that older sister I'd seek refuge whenever I feel down.
In terms of fashion, she has the most versatility but still a distinguished style out of the main characters in the series. She'd dress in all sorts of styles such as Victorian, Traditional Japanese, Mod, Flapper and more but all are inherently Isabella. I guess it was her mysterious beautiful woman aura that tied her looks all together
4. Nana Osaki (Nana)
Style: 💋💋💋💋
Likeability: ❤️❤️❤️
I'll be honest, I didn't think Nana would be a likeable character until I watched a few episodes of Nana. I only ever saw her in an AMV of her and Ren and I thought she was so pretty and cool. The anime made me think of her as an amazing character. Her flaws and aspirations as an individual is relatable. I admire as an artist and a person. A good friend with a demanding artistic streak haha.
Her style exudes grunge rockstar girlfriend. You just look at her and you're instantly captivated by her. She is androgynous, probably why women love her so much. She has this romantic-gamine element in her style, she isn't hyper feminine nor a mature woman or boyish. She's just ...so cool.
3. Shoko Komi (Komi can't communicate)
Style: 💋💋💋💋
Likeability: ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Shoko is praised by everyone around her for a reason: her ethereal beauty. However, her personality took everyone's breath away. She is the ideal girl; innocent, introverted, big hearted, lovable and beautiful. She is quite obviously not perfect (hence the show's central subject; her communication disorder) although every character makes her out to be. She is just a wholesome character, plus she's my favourite.
Shoko looks good in everything, literally. Her strong (not sharp) aura and body type makes any outfit beautiful. However, out of all the clothes she was drawn in, simplicity and elegance make her shine, especially modest dresses and traditional Japanese garments. She's just a goddess on earth, the purest one too.
2. Yor Forger (SpyXFamily)
Style:💋💋💋💋
Likeability:❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Best waifu, hands down. Adorable in all forms!!!! Kyaaaa!! Her character's dualistic nature is refreshing to see, it's not an uncommon trope however I don't think I ever seen it fleshed out as hers. She is a good natured person who is unexpectedly brutal. I can never get enough of how funny and cute she is.
Classic. Her style is classic with a tease, quite literally. Her assassin get up would be rendered simple if it weren't for the details (straps, tights and slit) and her sweater dress, don't get me started on that open back. It's like a modest virgin killer sweater.
1. Marin Kitagawa (My Dress-up Darling)
Style:💋💋💋💋💋
Likeability:❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
My personal favourite in terms of style is Marin, the gyaru weeb that earned my respect and she's not even real. Her proactive and bubbly nature already hooked me to like her but damn her attitude as an individual is so damn likable. I want to be her friend, but she's a fictional character so that's hindrance.
Being gyaru, her style is a little bolder, though completely wearable for anyone. Maybe that's why she's on the top of this list, her style is individualistic and screams Marin but is not so much that it's in your face. I do love bolder styles and aesthetics but I hate getting stared at. Marin wouldn't care either way of course, she's unapologetically herself no matter what. Her style is casual trendy chic, not overly simple or too crazy, noticeable and easy on the eyes. It's so biased of me because I dress very similarly to her haha!
Sooo what do you think? Hehe you're going to see a lot of random things like these here! Thank you for stopping by and reading this. Have a great day!
