Redfoxoffire's Profile

Damn it. I'm becoming an anime cynic, aren't I?

I was hoping I would not have to do this, but....

NO RANDOM FRIEND REQUESTS or club invites.

Apparently I've been attracting enough attention lately to get people to want to be my friend (or perhaps it's because I am so stunningly beautiful). That is not a problem; As I have stated below, I will talk to you if you leave me a comment (Please no PMs*, those get annoying). However, I will not accept a friend request from someone I don't know. We need to know each other from another site first (and somewhat well at that) or have had a few meaningful exchanges (that doesn't mean "How's the weather, can I add you now?").

*If it's something important that you don't want just anyone to see or read, a PM is fine. General chit-chat goes in comments.

The first one mysteriously vanished and she begged me to put it back so here's a link to a psycho woman's profile.

All that aside...

Current anime rankings. Entries with the same score are not ordered between themselves. All scores subject to change:

8.5
Chihayafuru 2 - The karuta stuff is great, but the result of having all the focus there is that stuff like that mother/daughter scene isn't really earned. But daaaaamn if the karuta stuff isn't amazing.
Attack on Titan- Looks like this plans to keep its momentum. Just don't play all your cards too fast. Potential to be an eventual 10/10.

8.0
A Certain Scientific Railgun S - The only part of the Index/Railgun world that was ever really good. Thank you for making this instead of Index 3.

7.5
The Devil is a Part-Timer! - The plot isn't bad by any means, but it isn't as good as the comedy was.
Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet - I am intrigued.

7.0
Zettai Boei Leviatan - Maybe.
Aikatsu! - Sugary sweet. My guilty pleasure.

6.0
Devil Survivor 2 The Animation - So much meh.
Red Data Girl - It's just kind of boring.

<5.0
Photokano - Sometimes so bad it's funny.

???
OreImo Season 2 - It's actually kind of good when Kirino isn't around to ruin everything.

How I rate anime (cuz everyone's doing it)



11: Clannad ~After Story~
10: Masterpiece. A true work of art. Easily worth re-watching once, possibly twice or more, recommendable to just about anyone.
9: Amazing. Absolutely loved it. Might not have any noticeable flaws but lacking enough to be a 10. Worth re-watching, easily recommendation worthy.
8: Very good. Very enjoyable, possibly with a flaw or two keeping it down, or possibly just didn't keep my interest as well. Likely worth re-watching, very recommendable.
7: Good. Enjoyable, but flawed. I can say I liked it and it was worth watching with confidence. Might be worth re-watching, probably recommendable.
6: Decent. On the plus side of average. Interesting enough to keep me watching without regretting it. Would not likely re-watch, would only recommend to genre fans.
5: Bland. Not exactly bad, but not good either. Watchable but boring overall. Would not re-watch, would hesitate to recommend. Also, this is what I tend to rate shows that I didn't really enjoy but don't see as bad, either.
4: Bad. Not terrible, but with only a few things getting me through (If I can get through). Would not re-watch or recommend for serious watchers.
3: Very bad. Serious flaws are present. Not at all fun to watch, but a few choice factors save it from being even lower.
2: Awful. If I was able to finish it at all, it was hard to watch all the way through. If redeeming features exist, they probably aren't worth mentioning.
1: Sword Art Online.

Note that my list scores are based almost completely on my subjective personal enjoyment without caring about any objective factors. In this way it is my list and no one else's. Dropped series may get lower scores due to me feeling it's a flaw if it could not even keep my interest until the end.

It's somewhat rare for me to give lower than a 6 because I generally only watch things I think I'll like (common sense, seeing as I'm no masochist), and there also aren't any genres I would say I dislike on the whole, so most of the shows I watch I can enjoy at least to a certain extent. I tend to pick out the things I do like about a show and ignore the things I don't like, given they are few and minor enough.

Some random stuff about myself (last updated 9/24/11):



-I dislike the word "overrated" and try to avoid using it as much as possible. "Underrated" is not quite as bad (though in all logical reasoning it probably should be), but I don't use it often either. At the same time, I hate people who throw the word "overrated" around so much like their word is law. In the end: overrated is overrated.
-I don't hate others a lot, and I don't like when people hate me either. There's only one fictional character I can say I truly hate, and just a few others that I dislike. Otherwise I either like characters or am indifferent. This goes for real people too.
-I don't really have a "type", or a favorite genre or anything like that. It's kind of just "If I like, I like. If I don't, I don't." I tend to enjoy Romance and Drama the most, though.
-I love it when a show makes me cry. Why do you think I liked Clannad ~After Story~ so much? I was bawling.
-I am bisexual. I've somehow become a yuri fan, though. Did that connect?
-I hate elitism.
-I am an incest fan. No, I've never done it myself.
-I am an argumentative person by nature. I do my best not to shove my opinion on others, but if I believe something you said is verifiably false, I'm likely to call you out on it.
-I am also fairly introverted and not good either at starting conversations or keeping them going. If I don't respond to your most recent comment, chances are it's just because I couldn't think of anything to say.
-I'm not afraid to use language. Sparingly, of course. I don't want to see the word "fuck" in every sentence. I don't agree with those people who say using any language makes you seem unintelligent, but too much most definitely can.
-Do you like Fire Emblem? So do I. In fact, it's my favorite video game series. There was more here but I've since deleted it.
-If you actually read all that, leave a comment on my page. If you have the time to read, you have the time to type. I'm (almost) always willing to talk.
-I love spoiler tags. Seriously, these things are awesome. Whoever came up with them deserves some kind of award or recognition.
-I've decided to leave this list here as it is for the time being, adding extras every now and then.

I am also a fan of various video games. My favorite video game series include (specific favorites in parentheses):
Fire Emblem series (7 and 10)
The Legend of Zelda series (WindWaker)
Metroid series (Prime 2 and Fusion)
Super Mario series (Sunshine)
Mario Kart series
Pokemon series (Emerald)
Super Smash Bros. series
Ratchet and Clank series (Up Your Arsenal)
Resident Evil 4
Soul Calibur series (3)
Okami
Kingdom Hearts series (II)

Although I don't actually play games much anymore.
