Well as anybody can tell, I'm an anime fan. Since I was a young child I started off with a lot of those popular Shounen series, namely stuff like Dragon Ball Z and Naruto. Granted, I haven't actually consistently kept up with the anime adaptation for most of these series or I've seen them a VERY long time ago so if there's an anime or manga that falls into this category, it's in my on-hold section along with my more current on-hold stuff. Amusingly enough that makes the on-hold list really huge and......longer than my completed list. =/ I guess I've seen glimpses of a lot more anime than I've had time to watch through, at least till recently anyway.
In the past couple years or so I've been expanding my manga reading and have found quite a few series that I did not expect to enjoy nearly as much as I have. With schoolwork and such, I can't read manga or watch anime quite as much as I would like, but steadily I'm getting through the series I want to see. Keeping to a policy of one episode/volume per day tends to allow me decent progress over time so I can get through things eventually.
Oh, and I enjoy music quite a bit, I'm the type of person who brings my iPod just about everywhere. For the most part I enjoy alternative rock, video game music, anime themes, and Vocaloid. Well, as it stands right now, mostly anime themes. I'll take a chance to listen to other songs I remember on the spur of the moment, but other than recent anime songs I haven't taken the time to pursue any other songs in recent times.
Anywho, not sure if there's that much more to say about myself. Anything else that's important is easy enough to gather from a conversation with me so yeah. So words aside, here's some other random stuff I felt like putting here:
Just started a blog for my thoughts about anime and whatnot. I've only written a few things so far but I'm really enjoying it so far and I'm hoping that more people could see it. If you're curious about it, here's the link: http://animeanemoscope.wordpress.com/
Favorite Genres: Drama, Mecha, and Psychological. Though as long as an anime has a strong plot, good character development, and/or strong emotional connection, I'll probably enjoy it regardless of genre.

My Rating Scale:
10: A masterpiece, something truly exceptional. While nothing can be "perfect" per say, for me these are as close as it gets and are the ones that really pulled me in more than any other.
9: Excellent, and one I'd definitely recommend to anybody. Not quite as amazing as 10s are, but are regardless awesome series that I'm very likely to express my enjoyment of.
8: Very good, "don't miss" stories. Really enjoyable overall and must-sees for anyone who likes the type of series, though may not appeal to those who aren't interested in the genre. Anything I rate 8 or higher is something I deem purchase worthy.
7: Good, worth watching overall. Fun watch but not quite amazing enough for me to truly become attached to.
6: Decent, okay but not very notable. These are what I would consider alright, but little more than that and you won't miss much if you skip out on them.
5: So-so, largely boring. Definitely "meh" series, if something with a 6 didn't already classify as such. May not be completely terrible but are not too enjoyable and not nearly as entertaining as they should be.
4: Not really good, certainly something to avoid. Boring like those rated a 5, but have a more noticeable lack in quality and suffer from a spectrum of problems. Ironically enough, the one I have under this category so far doesn't quite fall into this description, as it was so terrible it was actually amusing and this fact actually kept me from lowering its score.
3 and below: Haven't rated anything this low yet, and I'm hoping to keep it that way. Not sure if I'm just biased about anime or if I've legitimately managed to avoid the true garbage......
Episode 6 was the Best episode of AoT along with the last 5 minutes of episode 5 in my opinion. Finally I saw Eren in a different Light not to mention we got to see Mikasa in Action. Armin isn't as bad as everyone makes him out to be. He's I think, the most natural character in AoT. That Scarf scene was extremely touching. Got to see the Best of Eren and Mikasa so far.
Again, those Titans are ugly. Man, did you see how that Titan moved?? The theme for this anime is extremely depressing though. So many Deaths.
Hey Miles! Sorry for the really late reply! I was really busy last month with a musical I was in! Now I'm much more free this month and summers coming up too, whoo! :D
Exactly, my brothers moved away from Naruto and now is on Zatch Bell.... all he watches is shounen, but I'm telling him that there's much better ones out there. He won't watch Clannad so I'm trying to make him watch Attack on Titan. Which is SUCH A GOOD SERIES! Yeah Dragonball and Yu yu hakusho are some of those childhood anime that I'll probably never get too!
Welcome to the NHK was a pretty good watch, but pretty boring and some of the comedic situations just weren't that funny to me. It deals with the topic of suicide and actually handled it nicely, but the ending was kinda corny. The MC also had some development but sometimes he retrogresses and becomes even more frustrating to watch. Overall it had a nice theme, but a pretty bad story development.
Devil Survivor 2 is from the same guy who made Persona 4 the Animation. I did enjoy Persona, but it had those cliche shounene moments where "the power of friendship" is true power so I WIN! And Devil Survivor started out with so much good potential, but the latest episodes have been bad... -_-
It has good animation, action, and a great OST. But the series falls due to the story and characters.
I see your watching Attack on Titan, how is it for you? I think it's the most thrilling series out this season and it's definitely working it's way into my top anime.
I borrowed Clannad to my friend, he's still watching, but I think he's going to watch more anime from now on because he's watching Shingeki no Kyojin which started airing this spring season and is already in the top 20, but people are overrating it too much, it has only 5 episodes. However, that's good if he becomes to watch more anime. Where do you live that you have so many friends that watch anime? Japan? xD.
If people consider Clannad ending a Deus ex Machina ending is totally normal, even with the recap episode I couldn't understand what really happened until the time I went to search about it, but after you know Clannad story once, everything changes, or it might be you get all the story only watching the anime?. Furthermore, if Clannad wasn't going to end like it ended it would be the more depressive anime of all time.
I read about what you wrote about Kanon, in the first place I have to rewatch Kanon to reevaluate my opinion about it, many people say it's great although I didn't see that much in it, but the reason for that is exactly the same thing that happened with you with TTGL and FLCL, when I started watching Kanon I thought it would be a second Clannad and it turned out it wasn't, although both series do have they similarities my expectations were too high, I even thought Yuuichi would end up with that sick girl. I just couldn't get the ending which I still don't understand properly, was Ayu in a coma all the anime, right? and at the end from what I remember she starts making the other heroine's lives good, I mean, she help them because everyone end up happy at the end, and after some time she's already awake from the coma and has a child with Yuuichi. I don't know if I was clear because my memory is failing to remember what happened. Anyway, you should make this in a review here on MAL, it was good.
Yeah Tsukihime was a bit boring to me and I already know that it left alot stuff and a few characters out. They should have learned 12/13 episode adaptation suck. Even if it is the fill in a time slot, it doesn't work out well. And Narcissu does seem good,but I might not be able to enjoy as much as play longer VN, it's to short for me to get in story and characters.Well, thats just who kinda jump into VNs without gradually getting use to them.
Even though the VNs are great, Type-Moon doesn't have much. The main games are Tsukihime, Fate/ stay night and Mahoutsukai no Yoru, the rest are either fandiscs or sidestorys. And now there make a remake of Tsuhime coming out and I just hope they don't mess it up. I already saw some previews of the characters and It seems like they're trying to modernize it with new outfits and such, which isn't bad but not something I like.
While the story does get real and the action starts, the story completely changed. It wasn't bad but I like the original of thing, changing them doesn't really do it for me. And the answer to your question is no. They have completely left that part. There was nothing like a back story telling what Asaka or Shinji went thought. Rei was the only one it some information but it wasn't much. And the 3rd movie was a disappoint. Like I said it completely change and it made Shinji as smart as the viewers, meaning he was acting really derpy in the movie, it made it like he wasn't his own character.
Shingeki is really great so far, but the animation can screw up something, but thats only a little bit.I wouldn't say the Shingeki anime would have more potential but it would be nice to see all the action scenes animated. Maou-sama is really good so far, it has mostly been a comady but the newer has a little more seriousness for the better.
Wow, you certain can write and you decided to VNs as well. It doesn't seem you left anything out as well. All I can say it look great.
Well corpse party has like 3 diffrent games.
I've only played two of them. Its definatly horror XD but not that bad. One of the games is 8bit which I personally prefer for the game. But the second one isn't like that so its easier to move around but still confusing. Therrs a lot of memorization in them butbi don't mind it.
I just finished Denpateki na Kanojo. It was very good, but it skipped explanations and connecting story bridges.
Watching Ranma 1/2 it's cliche', predictable, and repetitive, but it's funny to watch.
The World God Only Knows was very good, I enjoyed the characters and the concepts. The characters were relatable and it was interesting psychologically, even if based off of dating sims.
Howls Moving Castle storyline wasn't interesting.
I am a new JoJo fan, the new TV series got me into it. The new series hooked me big time and I started reading the manga shortly after it ended, so far I've read the first three parts. I had always figured I would like it since I'm a big Hokuto no Ken fan, but never got around to it outside the fighting game.
Well that's going to be a long one. First of all it's a pretty good show. It's good and deserves the hype so far but I don't think this justifies it's current ranking.
Well it's good but we need to wait a bit more to assess it. I think.we can only fully ascertain how good it Is once it's completed. It's not a top 15 show yet. No way.
Just ONE episode might ruin it.
I think that the OST and Sound in Titan is great but not so much the animation though. Especially the use of those damn still images not to mention that those Titans look sick and ugly but also their size is very inconsistent. You'll know what I mean if you closely observe the big red Titan in episode 5. It's a great anime but not one that's elite. YET. I also read an absolutely outrageous spoiler. Man maybe my respect for the show is wavering slightly.
The characters from AoT aren't too likable actually. There's very little development and it's extremely rushed. Mikasa is fine and Armin is Okay. Eren is a loudmouth so far. He finally did something useful.
In actuality I only liked a part of each of those five episodes. Also the pacing isn't all that great. It feels very artificial and rushed.
It's also getting a little repetitive though, they are all just Titan food at the end of each episode.
Also did I mention the damn still images.
Those Titans are Sick and Ugly. They are yet to be dented as in they are indestructible so far.
The last few minutes of each episode is keeping it at 8/10 for me
Hmm i use to watch completed series on RealityLapse, but animeultima is good. Titans is sick lol all i can say latest ep had me sooo pissed but so excited to c the next ep....and kinda sad lol.
Nice on ur profile right? If so ill check it out or just tell me wer to find it, never was into blogs i might come around lol. I understand that, all i talk about is anime so that would be the best thing to do...blog it
