About BlackMagic
Hobbies: Anime and Movies, Reading, and Disc Golf

Favorite Anime: Violent, Horror, Gore, Psychological, Crime, Chikan

Goals:
1) To see every horror anime possible
2) To see every anime associated with Manga Entertainment

History: My first anime 1999: Vampire Hunter D. I was hooked and immediately set out to watch all the anime I could find. Most of the anime available in stores at the time were put out by Manga Entertainment. They were well known for their violent anime and this was a great influence on my anime preferences. A year later, I got a job working in a video store and expanded my horizons. Once broadband internet came into the picture and I discovered the miracle known as fansubs, my list of anime grew very rapidly into the numbers you see today.

400th Anime: Tower of Druaga 6/26/2008

Ratings:
Anime:
Animation - 15%, Sound - 15%, Enjoyment - 20%, Character - 20 or 30%, and Story - 20 or 30% (depends on whether I feel a show is story or character-driven).

Manga:
Art -25%, Enjoyment - 25%, Character - 25%, and Story - 25%.

10: something I feel is exemplary either overall or within its genre
8-9: high quality and enjoyable
7: enjoyable despite a few flaws
6: not that good, but also not that bad; would still watch/read if it caters to interests
1-5: different degrees of bad and unenjoyable

*For hentai the same scale applies except subtract 2.

Oh thank you very much for telling me about the pm option BlackMagic, because that is a relief to know. Should the case happen that I may be leaving earlier than expected, I will keep that option in mind.

I notice you have been watching the first FMP! series, which means you will be seeing the TSR series pretty soon.

By the way, I had a question on the resurrection polls BlackMagic. From your location, what time on Friday do you open the resurrection polls in C&C? The reason why I'm asking this is because I may be out of town this Friday afternoon and I hope to cast my vote as soon as I can.

DanceMagic~

I have the spotlight files ready to go. Sorry, I haven't been at home today. I have no idea what we'll be doing for the spotlight draws though, as I have no time to sort the nomination threads tonight. Send me a message when you get up or contact me when I sign back on Rizon.

There was something else that kind of surprise me from your animelist, Blackmagic. I notice you gave the Berserk anime a score of 10. I saw the anime not too long ago and I did enjoy it, but I gave it a 8 for my score. The main reason was not being much of a fan for open-endings. XD It did help me get interested in checking out the manga someday though. :)

I hear you. Unfortunely, I have just got back in college also and I usually have to focus on my work from time to time. Even having a social life is very important, which usually makes anime or manga a second.

I think watching the original FMP! is a good idea, even though it is a long twenty-four episodes. Hopefully you do manage to see them both before the club vote. :)
 
Anime-Destiny | 09-30-08, 12:58 PM
Thought I drop in to say hello BlackMagic. I'm really surprised you haven't seen FMP:TSR yet. XD Hope you plan on watching that series soon though. :)

It gets pretty nuts later on. I still can't help but love down-on-his-luck Renji.
 
Seishi | 09-21-08, 9:26 PM
Whoa you're watching NIGHT WIZARD.
 
Dead_Roses | 09-02-08, 8:18 AM
Do you like "Silent Hill"...?
It's awesome.
 
Avarice | 08-23-08, 1:38 PM
you dropped Blade of the Immortal after only 3 episodes? is it really that bad of a show?
 
Sorrow667 | 08-06-08, 9:12 AM
It's good to see another Indiana anime fan around. We don't have too many of those in southern IN. Completed=432! damn!
 
thepunisher00700 | 07-21-08, 6:42 AM
thnx for accepting ^^.

Well, it was originally posted as a personal review but I pulled it out after a day so that it could be used as a draft for the club review. I guess we should have ironed it a bit more. -_-'

As for the average age of users here at MAL, is it really much different from other places such as AnimeSuki and Anime News Network?
 
Yuunagi | 06-28-08, 2:43 AM
you said:
There is also the fact that a very large portion of mal are fans of those things. Rather than guiding a lot of the less experienced anime fans to quality series, this approach may actually turn some of them off since the review is making fun of series they have rated 10.

Rather than elevating the status of a series by lowering the status of everything else, it is usually a better approach to elevate other series in a way that in turn serves to benefit the series you're reviewing.

Hmm. Interesting.

I usually try to define what a series is and what it is not. Since the titles that I review are somewhat obscure, I tend contrast them with more popular series. I would have probably pissed off a few billion fans of AIR and SaiKano with my upcoming review for Gunslinger Girl so I thank you for your advice.

I see LoGH getting a lot of nominations. Not that I'll be rushing to watch it anytime soon with my shitty bandwidth, though...
