Alexius's Profile

After being drawn into the style of art and storytelling that embodies much of anime after watching shows like Inuyasha, I eventually found myself exploring other types of anime, opening a path to myself that led to Hayao Miyazaki. I pretty much loved all of the English dubbed movies he did, some more than others, probably most of all his Princess Mononoke or Howl's Moving Castle. While neither of them are perfect, they carried some very good messages that I thought and still think are very virtuous. I suppose my love for anime sprouts from that, and my love for the Japanese culture that I believe makes Western culture pale in comparison. Now I'm dabbling in all sorts of genres, trying to find intellectually grasping entertainment, or even clever sorts on the opposite side of the spectrum. A harsh critique at heart, I'll try and find an anime I'll actually think of deserving a title of being "perfect" (I haven't found it yet, but many of my "favorite anime" listed here and in the left sidebar probably come extremely close), at the same time as trying to find anime that simply entertains as much as possible.

I'd also like to add that I tend to utterly loathe bad grammar and spelling. If you intend to write a review which could be respected or appreciated, please take an effort to use good grammar and correct spelling (and please, most of all, capitalize your "I"s). It's one of my greatest pet peeves.

For those of you who are interested, I keep a fair bit of my thoughts of the anime I've recently watched or are watching at my livejournal which can be accessed by clicking the appropriate link found above. I've been lax on updating it recently, though, so the best way to hear my thoughts out is just to talk to me (comment here, talk to me on IM, etc.).

NOTE: As much as I was a perpetrator of this very same thing at one time or another before, I'd rather if you say something to me first before you friend request me. I'm sure we'd get along well.

INACTIVITY: Due to school now being back in session, I will probably be less active on MAL than I was over the summer. Expect me to take longer to reply to profile comments, forum replies, and to update my list.
