Report EsIce's Profile

Let’s begin…

I’m someone whose hobby revolves around 5 things; they are ANIMES, GAMES, MANGA, TRADING CARDS and FIGURINES.

My alias here is EsIce which I usually go by with along with my other alias, KaiserDragon. What usually stays the same is my AVATAR, if you see that “Chicken” in some other “places”, you can bet that it will mostly be me.

Since we are here, I will focus on the ANIME category, but discussion on others will always be welcomed through comments and PM. I’m proud to say that I’m a long-time ANIME fan. I’m planning to use this list to document how many I manage to complete (thus, “Dropped” series will not be included in the list).

The list is updated on my time of convenience and does not reflect on how long / when I complete a certain series.

Anime piqued my interest through 4 different ways which in respective order are Artworks, Soundtracks, Characters and Story.

[•]ARTWORKS - The first and foremost of what draw me to watch a series. 90% of the time I discover a new series to watch through their visual promotion. They can range from magazine, art-books, billboards, bookstores and game-centers. I believe this category is getting better in line with the advancement of technology.

My aesthetics are sweet and cute.

[•]SOUNDTRACKS – Second in the list that is usually the tie-in with visual during promotion. “Catchy” soundtracks had already drawn me to some during my time walking down this path. By using the term “Catchy”, I do not mean it to be always an upbeat AniSong as my preference lean towards mid-tempo and ballads. The best example of this category is the soundtracks from GUST games.

[•]CHARACTERS – Well they are the ones our eyes will be feasting upon watching a series. Not much comment on this subject at the moment. As long as they are fall within my aesthetics, they are usually fine.

[•]STORY – I’m not much a talker myself but I enjoy hearing other people talking. So, I will prepare the coffee and I will be more than happy to listen to what the series is trying / want to convey.

Second part on “About Me” will be the scores I gave to the animes that I have watched. They are only minor differences in between them, so a quick elaboration will be as follow:

[•]7 – Tick the first or/and the second box that made me want to watch them in the first place but give the feelings of “Train-wrecked” somewhere along the way. For regular length series, I usually end-up enjoying them at a normal level.

[•]8 ~ 9 – Up one-tier is the score of 8 and 9. They are the same level in my opinion and are classified as “great” in my scores dictionary. Tick all boxes and gives off the feeling of “I can’t wait for the next episodes” while watching them.

[•]10 – The top of the pyramid. Series in this category not only tick all boxes but also gives off the feeling of “Emptiness but will forever remain in the heart” when the series has concluded. Having this score will usually results in myself swarming over their related merchandise. For me, the X-factor that they possessed is sometimes difficult to express in words.

Lengthy huh? It might be, but I believe it is to help enjoy and understand “MyAnimeList” better.

I hope you enjoy reading this as much I enjoyed myself writing them up.
