Hmm, where to begin aside from the obvious?
I like to write, a lot. Sadly, I excel in a skill that all writers seem to possess and that's called "procrastination". So consequently, I have very little to show for myself after several years of writing. I mean, the most I can say is "I've got three novels finished and none of them are close to being finished editing wise". Oh, and "I've got about a hundred more started that aren't going anywhere". Again, I blame this all on my excellent skills of procrastination.
If you have ever visited my profile more than once (provided you have not determined I am a boring person), you will find subtle changes in the above paragraph and new content that basically rewrites (and restates) what has previously been said with much more commentary on my part (in case you couldn't tell by the excessive use of parenthesis in this one paragraph).
There is not a lot to tell about me aside from the fact that I am a geek. A total, utter geek. I watch anime, read manga, game, write, sing, play instruments, and plot the ultimate demise of all of my characters (who are not very happy about their future, I might add). As boring as my life sounds (and you don't have to lie, it sounds boring), I find great joy in it.
My rating system:
10: The anime or manga is the picture of perfection. And by that, I don't mean that the plot makes 100% sense or has the most amazing story line ever. The anime encompasses a few main elements that make it perfection. 1) A decent plot (plot holes are going to be in every anime/manga). 2) Character development (enough of it to make me feel like the characters actually made a difference and weren't just there to fill the 23 minute running time). 3) A personal connection or attachment to the story and/or characters or fond memories while watching the show. The third one is largely subjective since I could rate something a 10 just for the sake that I watched it with my best friend.
9: Almost perfect, but there's something still lacking in the story.
8: There's enough glaring plot holes that I can't ignore or not enough character development to make me care, but it was still a decent anime to watch.
7: It's all right, but it still has a lot to work on. There is a missing emotional attachment to the show/story or the characters, but I don't regret watching it.
6: I tried to find something out of the show/story that I really enjoyed, but it was really brief and didn't last for as long as I wish it did. It was decent, but only for that one small moment where I thought the show was going to turn around and change.
5: I didn't care for it either way. I probably won't watch/read it again because I didn't enjoy it, but I didn't hate it either.
4: I didn't like it. Something was just off about the entire thing that bothered me enough to ruin my overall experience and took away what could have been some nice elements in the anime/manga.
3: I did not find any of the main aspects I'm looking for in a manga/anime, which is disappointing. I would not recommend it to anyone because it is not engaging or worth watching or reading.
2: I really only stuck with it because someone promised me it would get better, but it did not. I tried and tried, but found no attachment to it whatsoever.
1: I flat-out hated it. There was nothing in there that I could tolerate or enjoy, and you had better run if you ever suggest that I watch or read it because it's "amazing."
Please note: My current ratings on my anime and manga lists are changing to be more consistent with this new rating system.
Final note: There will be manga entries that I have marked as "complete," but I have not read all of the volumes in them. My reasoning for doing this is usually that the manga is no longer being published in America. And even though there is a number of volumes that I may be missing out on (excuse me as I cry a small river), I have still completed reading the available volumes. If, by some miracle, they are being published again, I will be more than happy to read and correct my list.
