Welcome Commonly referred to as Gen for short. A long time Video Game, Comic Book, and Anime enthusiast.  About Friend Requests: I'd prefer to only add people who I've had a conversation with before or are at least willing start one. If you send me a request and we've never even talked then chances are I'll probably end up denying the request. Either attach a message to your request or just leave a comment on my profile. I'm always open for a conversation so feel free to start. About Me Me and Anime: I've been watching Anime for as long as I can remember and grew up watching the usual mainstream Anime that aired on television back in the day along with the classic Ghibli films. While I wasn't always familiar with the term 'Anime', I was however, always somehow aware of their Japanese origins due to how different they felt in comparison to the other cartoons I watched. Around the age of 9 is when I started started seeking anime outside the confines of my television, the earliest shows that come to mind are Guyver, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, Soul Eater and Death Note. I also highly enjoy writing reviews and write mostly for fun or whenever I feel like it. I also read a bit of Manga sometimes but unless its already obvious from my statistics, I watch Anime far more than I read Manga. Other than the very few comprehensive reviews, I also provide short reviews for all of the titles on my list through the tags section. I try to make these as short and to-the-point as I can for quick referencing and serves more as a medium for me to get my thoughts out. How I Rate My Anime:  Having watched anime very consistently for over a decade, It's hard to not notice the underlying flaws and cliched troupes that have settled in most anime, making it harder to come across a show that truly stands out to me. I'm very thorough with my rating process and consider every aspect before rating a title, and try to be as objective as I possibly can while still giving in a flavor of my own thoughts as well. I don't have a set criteria and instead review based on what the show itself tries to focus on and brings to the table so my rating criteria shifts depending on what I'm watching. Having said that though, my thought process does revolve around the saying that "A well written cast of characters can compensate for a poorly written plot but very rarely is a well written plot able to compensate for poorly written characters". Because of all this, my ratings might come off as unfair to some, but just because a show is ranked a little lower than usual doesn't mean I hate it, similarly if a title is rated highly on my list doesn't make it a favorite either. The objective here is NOT to undermine any shows in particular, but rather to utilize the entire ranking scale to provide a wider spectrum and ultimately distinguish between the good, the great, and the exceptional. A more comprehensive explanation for each rank can be found below. My Ranking Scale

I'd say for exchanging experience and opinions on various shows as well, but it seems that is not the case at all times... I understand the shock of someone hating a story you adore, but it's still a matter of taste in the long run. Would say not to pay much mind to such things, disrespect shouldn't be given time of day.
The suggestion is always there, I will make sure to contact soon! ^:^
Life has not been kind on my part lately so definitely no reason to worry ^^
Indeed, but I seldom get to lead such conversations if I am at disagreement with someone since the person sees it as an attack or something, egos at play I would say... so is a shame really
And here I read pieces like Boku no Hero Academia adn Bleach which delivered with both the manga and anime adaptations, but also Owari no Seraph and that anime really did...make a few wrong turns tbh
It's all alright, you're more than free to add me on discord if you please ^:^
It was a thing we did on the 1st session, read everyone's pieces and give out thoughts on whether the person liked it or not *fun thing to do tbh^^'
Well, I tend to overlook the rating system altogether~
It might be merely my bonkers ideology, but expressing your thoughts on it and giving out the picture that was created in your mind is what I find intriguing, kinda why I'm into writing so much and simply wish to find the best way to convey exactly how I feel
But then again the menings of all words are arbitrary, so no matter how much you try, you could bump into someone and stay completely baffled by what they came to think ~ it's a challenge and an adventure of the sort, so definitely wish to experience various ways and stiles of storytelling and writing in general ^.^
Which was your biggest disappointment though?
It literally just came to mind since the question is usually always which stories blew you away ^^'
That's when most of the concept I previously conjured changed, because my goal was exactly as you say, be objective even when I'm not having my cup of tea, while during the sessions it was all about how my own attitude and character are missing in the sentences.
I believe there actually was a reaction "of course it's about you, it's your piece lay it all out!", but don't quote me on that one, it was a year ago and I'm translating so might lose part of the actual message in the process ~
I still have to read a piece (or all) you wrote and very much look forward to it, but in essence I guess is that even though objective, I started dropping in short comments at the endings of my sentences or by using certain phrases or expressions you could hear some sarcasm, irony or glorification where it's due *according to my own standards of course ^^'
Merely to express the attitude, but don't think I still have the proper balance, because I surely do not want my pieces to come across as conceited or narrow-minded, but also not really robotic and purely analytic
Couldn't help but get super curious after reading your rating standards if I may call it so
ever since I've undertaken a course in writing film criticism I've been in and out of thought about anything I read or watch, so I write bits and pieces quite often and I find your system to be quite concise and fair ^^
Although am curious if you completely exclude your opinion and enjoyment when deciding on how the piece turned out to be overall?
Well, LotGH is still what I consider a niche product, so most of the praise seems to come from an audience already predisposed to praise teh show.
This one was fairly stressful to write, and it came out quite length, as predicted.
