About Me:
I <3 Anime
Und ze ladiez
I love meat
I hate sweets
I love limes
I hate licorice
I love spicy food
I hate seafood
I love dairy products
Lactose hates my guts, literally
I love Isaac Asimov
I hate Ben Stiller
I love the Daily Show/Colbert Report
I hate Mainstream Media
I love video games
I hate mental games
I love to procrastinate
I hate (real-life) drama
I love honesty, integrity, principles, equality, and justice
I hate greed, conceit, ignorance, prejudice and not thinking for yourself
I'm also very curious, sarcastic, opinionated, and pessimistic; but oh so huggable. And kissable. Tell your friends!
The Method Behind the Madness:
I won't lie. I'm a sucker for epic stories and anything with deep character involvement. This can range anywhere from climactic battle sequences to subtle emotional events. I prefer characters that are flawed and can cover a range of emotions and traits. I hate characters that are arbitrary, too predictable, too idyllic or just all over the place. The more dynamic, yet consistent, the character, the better. I prefer stories with strong central plots, and am usually drawn to more serious or darker work. I try to appreciate shows for what they are.
If a show just wants to dazzle me with mindless violence and cool effects, that's fine. Playful humor and good natured amusement work too. I don't mind shows that use CGI. However, I personally hate shows that are excessively goofy and random and/or go nowhere. If a show doesn't have some kind of point or is trying to say something I don't really get anything out of it. I like to have my mind challenged, my imagination ignited and/or my emotions stirred. Any show that can pull off some combination of these is usually a win.
As much as I love anime, I do hate some of the cliches. Anime can delight me to great heights; inspiring me with its beauty and impressing me with its innovations. It can also reach lows that bewilder me with staggering stupidity and mind numbing nonsense. So, it's a very tricky relationship fraught with ups and downs. Then again, I could say the same about my relationships with women, so what the hell do I know about anything? :p

It seems you and I have something in common with what we like in characters and the kinds of anime we prefer.
Would you be open to befriending me? :)

Give it time. After you've watched a few more good series go back to AD Police TV in a couple of years and see if you still think it wasn't terrible :p
well a while ago I finished it, wasn't that terrible, but yea it's pretty mediocre and cheap looking at every stage.(and I hate the fact it's related to BGC.)

Ah, I see. That makes a lot more sense than disliking a character simply because they act like a jerk to the protagonist. For example, I haven't seen School Days, but I've heard a lot of stuff about it and most of the hate just comes from the fact that the male protagonist is a total asshole and sleeps with anything that moves. But I feel like that was probably the whole point of the series...to make a completely unlikable character. That's probably why I'll still watch that show some day, despite all the warnings not to.
I have a thing for flawed characters too, mostly in the way you described. I liked Suzaku because he had some serious effed up motives for doing things. I actually found him pretty unpredictable even in the second season, but that's just my opinion. Anyways, I often find myself liking characters that are either evil or just plain hard-to-like, because they seem more complex. It probably takes more skill to write an unlikable character than a character everyone just automatically adores, don't you think?

Hey! I just read your Gantz review, and I must say it was very well written. You seem like a pretty interesting guy :D
Also, it says on your profile that you like flawed characters, and Code Geass is your favorite anime, so I was just wondering what your opinion is on Suzaku? Did you hate him? Love him? Indifferent to him?
Lol sorry if this is kind of random and/or creepy.

Psychic Wars =_= don't remind me. I had to watch that twice because I literally forgot what happened as soon as I finished it.
Izo huh? Interesting, I'll take you up on that challenge.

Sounds like it, I try to narrow my days into Video Games/Anime/Manga/Movies, doing pretty good so far. Yeah well anime ain't gonna wait for anyone xD specially not me, and I'm not one to be left in the dust! Even though I still have a massive backlog to finish up... If you wanna watch something so boring you probably won't ever finish it in your lifetime, go watch Crystal Blaze or something similar to that, that took me a whole 9 months to finish and it's only like 12 episodes long, but then again, I'm probably being all drama-queeny about it Dx. What's the most boring thing you've ever seen?
