Hello, I'm just a guy that takes anime just a bit too seriously.
I speak Spanish, English and Japanese, so if you want to chat any one of those is fine.
I'm a big fan of visual novels and like to read a lot in general. I prefer reading and watching everything in its original language.

Never-drop-anime club.
* Number of times I've re-rated my whole list: 6
Series rating: it's hard to rate series' seasons individually, so I'll be rating them as a whole here.
Tamayura series: 10. Calm, refreshing, healing ❤️❤️❤️. Even went to Takehara (near Hiroshima) after watching the series, one of my favorite places in Japan.
Monogatari series: 10. This is a true masterpiece. Nishio Ishin's narration (in Japanese) is god-like, such an interesting story line and world building. The visuals, truly unique Shinbou-style. The voice actors and actresses did and amazing job. Kamiya Hiroshi is amazing in his speed and ability to deliver fast lines packed with feeling and deep meanings. Reading the original novels in japanese is a whole new experience that I would recommend anyone anytime.
Ookami to Koushinryou: 10. What a nice story. Intelligent characters.
Kara no Kyoukai: 10. Really unique. Shiki is such a complex character. Incredible visuals.
Hibike: 9. What can I say, the characters are alive, their relationships and conversations are relatable. Everything in the band is accurate, from the personality of the people who play the instruments to the amateur mediocre sound at the beginning. Kurosawa Tomoyo is the voice that gives this show such a superior experience.
K-On: 9. Well written cute characters, full of bangers, lots of catchy addicting songs, fluid animation, healing episodes, emotional ending. Perfect.
Love live: 8.
Seitokai yakuindomo: 8.
Shakugan no Shana: 7.
Oreimo: 7. The ride wasn't bad... If you going with the taboo route don't chicken out. The friend development at the end was just so stupid and forced it made me wonder how the author did not learn anything from writing 14 volumes of this.
Zero no tsukaima: 7.
To explain a bit my rating system: (if you disagree that is completely fine, I am not trying to force the ratings on you)
10/10.- A show that had an impact on a personal level, a show that I admire. It's not just an all time favorite, it is a show that I would come back to an indefinite number of times. NEEDED to continue watching/couldn't stop watching. Would watch again anytime.
9/10.- One of my favorite show that I would completely recommend. NEEDED to continue watching/couldn't stop watching. Would watch again anytime. I really enjoyed it.
8/10.- Shows that I really like. They are entertaining and fully enjoyable, just didn't appeal to me as hard as others. Would recommend. Couldn't stop watching. Would enjoy another watch someday.
7/10.- I would still say I liked this, but had some things that bothered me, nothing to make me hate it though. Wanted to continue watching. Not sure if would rewatch though.
6/10.- Fairly entertaining, fairly enjoyable. Probably not watching it again but I'm still glad I watched it. Wanted to finish it during watching.
5/10.- Shows that just didn't appeal to me. They might have had some good moments and all, but not enough imo. It just lacked something. Would not watch again.
4/10.- They are not the worst thing ever, but mediocre at best. If it is here it's not THAT boring, and wasn't offensive. I won't say I liked it, but won't say I hated it either.
3/10.- Overall boring, not worth watching at all. I just wasted my time. Probably it was a pain to watch, but could stand it. Might consider playing 2x.
I would most likely put recap specials here.
2/10.- I couldn't stand it. The only reason I finished this is because of a personal no-drop rule. I might have fallen asleep or have been raging the whole show wishing for it to end.
1/10.- It is not just bad, it is not just a mystery how some studio worked in it, it is offensive, it's insulting. It is a pile of garbage.
Notes:
Note that wanting to continue watching a series is a better feeling than just wanting to finish it.
My ratings for 9 and 10 are basically the same, the difference is mostly feeling and personal impact and enjoyment. Normally all my 10 ratings start as 9 with the "rev, 10" tag (not many clearly). They most likely stay like that for a few months until I sort my thoughts on the anime and change it to 10 or leave it as 9.
I classify short anime as anything that has a duration less than standard 20 minute episodes. Ratings are given depending on a subdivision:
Short Series: Regular anime just with reduced length episodes, usually they range from 3 to 15 minute episodes.
6/10.- Would watch again.
5/10.- Enjoyable, had a good time.
4/10.- Pretty entertaining.
3/10.- Nothing special.
2/10.- Waste of time.
1/10.- x2 speed.
Main Specials: Main series special/comic relief (OVAs and Specials with side stories also belong here).
6/10.- Funny, worth it.
5/10.- Entertaining.
4/10.- Meh.
3/10.- Boring.
2/10.- Skip.
1/10.- Ugh.
Oneshot Shorts: One episode independent stories. Evaluated the same as the main series scale. It should be evaluated by how enjoyable it was and by its art value, not as an extra.
Main Extras: Main series extras with content. Not side stories, OVAs that continue the series. Evaluated the same as the main series scale. If it's not just comic relief it should be evaluated as an individual continuation of the main story, not as a side.
I don't list all H anime I watch though.
5/10.- Guaranteed.
4/10.- Pretty exiting.
3/10.- Meh, it was alright.
2/10.- Not worth, search for another.
1/10.- No.-
SAO1 is like: First half 6. Second half 2. So it gives a 4.
death: The typical death game were every must fight, only one can survive.
isekai: Other world stuff. Can be virtual. The only requirement is that the protagonist was in a world at the beginning and at another after. World as in universe, not another planet. No need for getting stuck in the other world, have died in the previous world, etc. Still wondering whether the first season of SAO is an isekai or not.
4l: Things that I actually really enjoyed. I was really invested in the world and stuff happening (could be basically nothing, action intense scenes are not needed).
s: Sexualization of woman for absolutely not reason. Entering the shower room with a naked girl, fine. Revealing uniforms for who the fuck knows why, nay.
wb: World building. I was really invested in this.
same: These anime are all the same thing. Stupid protagonist with no talents, but oh wait he is actually super strong for plot convenience. Harem? Fuck yeah. Tsundere Red-hair-girl? Oneesan or Big Breast or Hime Yellow-hair-girl? Cold or Dandere black-hair-girl? Kuudere white-hair-girl? Imouto-girl and/or Childhood Friend-girl? Set in a world with magic/use swords/war/magic school? Yeah, I thought so.
short: Anime with episodes length less than the standard 20-22 minutes. Usually range between 3 to 15 minutes.
rev: Still under revision. The given rating is preliminary and subject to change by the one noted.
I watched Tonari no kaibutsu-kun and It was fun but I thought that the story lacked a completion in anime...so I think I'll give it a try!
I still haven't watched the small 2-3 episode series of Horimiya because it seemed like..It wasn't gonna satisfy me..But I guess I'll watch it first!
I didn't like to read manga...but now that i've read some i thought that i was going to start reading manga of maid sama, kimini todoke and some other romance/shoujo anime..
Oh thank you for the information i was asking about Pictures from shirobaku....and yes my profile picture is from maid-sam....i really ove romance anime and among the romance/shoujo maid-sama is the one i love the most!! :D
