For a business student, I don't use my free time very economically. Aside from the basic needs of keeping myself in shape, hanging out, reading my favorite books over and over again and sometimes studying, I invest a big chunk of my time on staring at cartoons on my computer screen.
My life story doesn't have anything dramatic. Friends came from school and hobbies, my personality was twisted under their influence and I jumped from rope to rope set by modern education system until I reached my current, comfortable standing. From here on I slowly but steadily crawl towards my simple and mundane dreams that I have to settle for because there's no Grand Line in the real world, yet. But I'm happy and that's all that matters.
Complete rating revision in progress, going to bring my scores a bit closer to MAL averages using clear rating standards for story, characters, animation, sound and enjoyment. Screw that, I'm too used to my way of rating stuff.
Because ten character favorites just aren't enough.

Hey, I never said I'm good at cutting these short.
Considering how few 9's and 10's you've given out, you've done a great job in selecting worthy titles for them. Nice to find someone who rates things even harsher than I do, too. MAL is obnoxiously nice most of the time.
No offence but after reading some of your reviews and seeing how you scored most of the anime that are pretty good if not better terrible scores, I personally think your the worst reviewer iv'e seen on this site. Now i understand why most people click the "not helpful" option under your reviews...
I read ALL of your My Little Monster (aka Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun) review and i must say thank you for laying out the facts. I only made it to episode 3 and was planning on following it through, based on the pretenses of a romantic ending, but am glad to drop it.
I grasp the concept of the series having good comedy and being a joy to watch...but i find unresolved rom/coms annoying B(
Anyway, just thought I'd stop by and say thanks for the review :3
That Mirai Nikki review is excellent. Thank you for so perfectly articulating the crushing amount of absurdity in that series.
By the way, I also happened to read your old blog about the reception of reviews nowadays, and honestly, I would say just write whatever you want. I'm pretty convinced that somewhere out there is a crowd of people who just go around downvote-spamming every new review regardless of how it's written or what the rating is. Anyone who would downvote without even reading a review or taking the time to explain why they disagree is probably not someone you should care about anyways. As a writer, I think it's fair to assume that your target audience is people who want to actually read something; don't worry about the people who don't.
OH MY GOD. I Love Your Mirai Nikki Review. AND I READ YOUR REVIEW AND IT WAS LITERALLY LIKE YOU WERE READING MY MIND AND TYPING THAT REVIEW FOR ME." Most plot developments are just laughably stupid, new plot devices and storytelling gimmicks materialize out of thin air whenever needed and sometimes even when they definitely aren't needed, so much that it dulls you and nothing will be surprising after a while. Even during the final stages when the story decides to become more complicated than it has any right or need to be, it still doesn't accomplish much else than confusion over how anyone could have considered those developments a good idea. But at this point you probably won't mind anymore because it's obvious there never was anything of great value to ruin." I GOT CHILLS WHEN I READ THAT! That Was EXACTLY HOW I FELT. God It Was Pretty Much Perfect! I'm Adding You If You Don't Mind! :D
A fantastic, but a bit of a bland review of Nekomonogatari.
It's worth a Helpful rating, but it's also worth wonders to insomniacs. Well, I'm running on five hours of sleep, so it just may be me. No disrespect. Happy reviewing!
Hetken tuota itseasiassa mietin, että mitä mahdoit hyvityksellä tarkoittaa, mutta selkenihän se. Funtsailin vaan et mahdoitko jonkun englanninkielisen sanan kääntää suomeksi hyvitystä vastaamaan. Itse en ainakaan kovasti animesta suomeksi puhu jtn ei ihan luonnostaan tule tuo että miten suomeksi ajatukset esittäisi, englanninkieliset vastineet kun mieleen ensiksi pomppailee.
Satakunta shojo mangaa/animea tullut läpi koluttua. Tonari keskivertoa parempi jos noihin vertaan, mutta sarjana noin ylipäätään omilla standerdailla aikalailla keskiverron tuntumassa. Ei nuo sarjojen väestötiedot juuri sellaisenaan omaan arviointiin vaikuta, joten eipähän tullut anteeksi annettua tässä tuota ns shojo sohjoutta.
Yllättävän usein näkyy teitä ketkä pidätte manga listat tyhjänä vaikka mangaa olisi tullut luettuakin. Onko tämä salaliitto?
Näinhän se eteni. Potentiaalinen alku ja mielenkiintoiset hahmot, mutta siihen sen erinomaisuus sitten jäikin. Toki miellyttävää katsottavaa muttei kuitenkaan mitään normaalista poikkeavaa vaikka olisi voinut mieleenpainuvampikin shojo olla.
Jepa, näillä viihdytän itseäni ja muita kun en suosikkilistasta muuten oikein perusta. Lähinnä kun en tiedä mitkä muutamat sinne valkkaisin joukosta erottumaan.
Don't worry about the delay, for I am a lazy and extremely slow writer as well. Long story short, I will reply when I am done with my current review and when I think is the best time overall.
Lol you too. It seems like the beginning of the year has some of the worst or interesting anime haha. Yeah I'm planning on watching Amnesia and umm that's it haha. Yeah fall seems to have the best so like you I still have something to watch.
