Here I'm mostly cataloguing all the animes I've watched and sometimes leaving a review if they've impressed me enough in any way, always looking for something interesting to see. I'm open to discussing and sharing opinions and experiences so don't hesitate to contact me if you feel like it.
The first animes I've seen were Mononoke Hime and Kaze no Na wa Amnesia. While the second one is nothing special, seeing it as a 5 year old, left a huge impression on me, so I have a bias towards it since it really provoked some philosophical thinking into my 5 year old self that otherwise I would have never thought, such as stories having loose ends that are not entirely happy.
While I did not really had a chance to watch Pokemon or Dragon Ball, I watched and enjoyed Yu-Gi-Oh! and Shaman King as a 12 year old.
Then a friend of mine in 2007 advised me on watching Naruto and before that I didn't really watch anime or maybe didn't even knew where it was from. Then started my weeb phase for 1-2 years, thankfully I got out of it mostly scot-free. Then I discovered and began One Piece in 2008 and it immediately became my favorite anime of all time.
The Shounen animes that I watched, shaped my taste in anime, which is why I prefer mostly things involving:
- Adventure
- Action
- Mystery
- Fantasy
- Sci-Fi
- Horror
I've actually caught a few episodes of a really old anime named Candy Candy, which delves into hardship, romance and other dramatic events and despite not being entirely sad and had a lot of happy and positive moments, it shaped my preferences to actively avoid watching animes (and other media) that involves:
- Romance
- Drama
These genres make me bored to sleep and sick to my stomach.

Since many cases are basically "closed island" type of mysteries, it would make sense that many people would kick into survival mode to find out the culprit rather than just to keep freaking out. I guess that personally I like that much more than the usuall horror movie case where most people just keep freaking out instead of thinking.
I'll admit that it can get repetitive though, and a breakdown once in a while is a change of peace.
I don't feel like there was supposed to be an overarching plot in the first place, to me Kindaichi feels more like the episodical western detective shows that run on tv when I was a kid rather than something like the BBC Sherlock or Detective Conan.
I appreciate the long response though, and I would recommend incorporating it into the review itself, as the short description of the issue looks jarring - so much that it made me response in the first place.
Police officers also don't freak up with every case, and the main cast has seen more murders that the average officer.
Human psyche really gets used to scenes like that quite fast, no need for years in morgue.
Honestly, that sentence kinda explains itself - it's not "when", it's "because".
That was the first anime I ever saw and not many people have seen it.
Personally, I like the first few episodes of 1999 better because they give you an actual interaction with kite which helps later with the chimera ant arc. Also I like york new arc better in 1999 particularly because the atmosphere and directing were much better when it comes to portraying a serious atmosphere. Heavens Arena honeslty I like both the same, but honest to god the elevator lady from 1999 is one of the most underrated characters in the show.
But Honestly I don't mind the hunter exam arc from 2011, and when it comes to Greed Island I also prefer 2011 (beyond the training segments being slightly rushed, I would have preferred just a slightly longer cutscene). But it's surprising to hear you like Greed Island the most because most people tend to dislike Greed Island the most. Not saying that's not ok or anything just I've not heard anyone say they liked Greed Island as a fav arc before is all. Personally I felt like the 1999 depiction of Greed Island dragged a bit too long, but that's just me.
Personally I really didn't mind the length of the chimera ant arc though. There are a few sections where I think they could have cut at most 2 or 3 episodes but beyond that I thought the pacing was very good. In particular because it added gravity to the overall story which I don't think would be felt if it was just rushed through in 13 or even 26 episodes. It's not a problem to focus on small details and slow down the pacing if it's done right. And I think in 2011 it was. There's a difference between telling a story with a myriad of details like in 2011, and something like the one piece anime where only around 10 minutes of each episode is new content (including flashbacks).
but yeah i like the york new arc much better in the 1999 version
Well thanks for telling lol
My opinion on Sword Art Online has changed over the years. I don't think it's good, it's highly overrated and the story is driven solely by plot armor. I have watched only two seasons and haven't watched anything beyond that, because it feels like the author is already recycling his own creation and milking it - it no longer has a point or goal, it's like Boruto - it only exists to keep making money.
My Hero Academia is still good, it hasn't gotten bad and it has the potential to end soon, which is better than how One Piece, Naruto and Bleach went - One Piece never ends, but each arc after the time skip is worse and more boring than the previous, Bleach didn't even finish because of how boring it was and Naruto started with ninjas and ended with aliens. Neither is a good way to go.
Ascendance of a Bookworm is just stupid and also covered in a lot of plot armor, the main character is annoying and there are a lot of inconsistencies with the behavior of the characters, especially the protagonist and how she acts. It's just a very contrived and boring story that goes nowhere.
of course I would, it's stupid, boring, the story is not even there and the comedy element is funny if you're sharing one brain cell with your whole family.
Good.
