TL;DR i'm not scoring high, i just watch/read only things i like
if someone is wondering why i score so high, it's because when i vote i (very often) only think about personal enjoyment, and anything which would get less than 6 i've dropped it and forgotten about it already, and i don't really care to go search for things a don't care only to give them a bad vote
also, i've an effective method to find new mangas i might like, so it's only rarely something i've started to read turns out being bad, usually i notice i don't like it in the first chapters, and drop them there
the only ones who can get a bad vote from me are: the ones dragged out too long, the ones losing creativity on the way, ones with a good/decent start but an horrible/bad developing
tags used in the lists: "mixed" are the manga/animes whose score is a mix of different scores, it can be read as "some parts are better, some are worse, the result is a mix"
trying a "mixed" means being open to get a surprise, in the good and/or in the bad "falling" goes to complete the "mixed" tag, if the show/story had more parts, the first part is the better one
to find new mangas i usually filter them by genre, done so i order them by rating, then work my way down while looking at them
not here on mal, there are better places with more variable ratings. But for animes, myanimelist is the best ranking place, by being the most complete and with the bigger rating pool(more people rating = more accurate).
since on the site where I search mangas there is only a short description and a cover, i usually end up getting interested in a manga by one of its covers
and so far it hasn't failed me much, cause a cover maybe shows the effort and dedication an author had for their serie, so a well done cover has been for me many times a sign of a manga which needs further investigation
then i often just go to pick the latest chapter for that serie, or a random chapter in the middle of it, and give it a glance, if it looks interesting, so far from the opening, then that's a good sign of the serie being solid
that's usually enough for me to start actively reading a serie, or if i'm already too busy, adding it to my plan to read list
(still trying to make more sense of this)

Alignment test result 11/07/2012
Lawful Neutral
Lawful Neutral- A lawful neutral character acts as law, tradition, or a personal code directs him. Order and organization are paramount to him. He may believe in personal order and live by a code or standard, or he may believe in order for all and favor a strong, organized government. Lawful neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you are reliable and honorable without being a zealot. However, lawful neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it seeks to eliminate all freedom, choice, and diversity in society.

Thanks for that! Hilariously enough, I'm in the same boat of being inactive here, totally understand how you feel. Keeping a running fad of interest in the medium, and interest in different tracking sites, is for sure a hard scale to weigh with just two hands. Either way, good looks for accepting despite all that! :)
Sent a friend request. Primarily due to you having a killer pfp and signature in forums. Secondarily because you show the dichotomy in users on this site: you like both the profound and action-oriented shows, but also the simpler fun shows. Likewise, you understand how people tend to score series, and how they're meant to be scored, yet you still choose to score shows high merely out of personal enjoyment. And I just think that's super dope, so keep being yourself!
I’ve heard good things about Ore Monogatari, haven’t heard of the second one but that sounds cute as well ^^ To be honest I’m pretty easy to please when it comes to entertainment so if something peaks my interest enough to start watching, I’ll most likely enjoy it lol
I pray to Allah who is great and mighty (jokes aside) that Jojo´s part 5 is coming out this year. I try as much as possible to not spoil myself except for fringe cases like Pucci from Part 6 (don´t look him up, it´ll be only better that way). Only if I happen to hear something odd like he could compete with the DBZ cast in powerlevel etc, I need too see why and spoil myself just to regret it later.
I just consider it dignified when someone is confident in what he´s doing and doesn´t become pretentious about it.
I don´t think watching seasonals is necessarily the lazy choice but rather the choice for people with limited time, attention spans, and people who generally prefer faster pacing and to an extend good production ratios. Technically any Shounen is more expensive than a 1 cour Anime, but the budget is spread much thinner over all the episodes. I don´t mind checking them out. Ore Monoatari I watched during it´s airing and actually rewatched particular episodes a few times.
Anime to me is just not a lifestyle but another hobby. I read books, I watch Movies, I play games and I´ve witnessed far better narratives than what most seasonals deliver in those. Furhermore modern Anime just rub me the wrong way.
I think most of them are quite lazy shitpieces boringly copypasted consistently based on resent trends. The internet didn´t kill diversity, but it diminished it. While the concept of an intersting premise is worth nothing to me since my consumption of several diverse media has increased my probability to have encountered said premise with a better delivery somewhere else, or I simply don´t perceive it as something creative when the characters are ass.
First excuse the late reply, but I had a shitton of work to do the past few days, it happens occasionally.
I friended you because you make mostly reasonable assertions. I remember you in some stupid "my favorite Anime should be the new Big 3 because reasons" thread and the "I´m gay so make Shounen Manga cater to my desires" thread where you gave proper answers to horseshit demands.
Anyway to give you a picture of me, I´m not a seasonal fan, even when I watch something seasonal I do based on recommendation and never because I search actively for it. The last Anime that gpt me addicted was FMA B 2-3 years ago, since it takes me usually longer to get attached to characters. TTGL is my favorite Anime because it delivered the best bittersweet ending I´ve seen in anything. Jojo´s is my favorite because it´s weird in a way only Anime can be while it perfected that art and they are the only seasonals I actively seek out.
One Piece I´m not very fond of, currently, because of the pacing. I rewatched the first 220 episodes with glee 1-2 years ago (I don´t remember ), but ragequitted it when I saw how the Anime handled Spandam and since Dressrosa they added lots of filler on top of the Dragon Ball Super cringe Animation. Having the series as what it used to be fairly fresh in my mind, just pisses me of,f to watch modern One Piece.
Excell Saga I can fully recommend. Though I watched it out of order and the final episode was an uncencored trip that would make Gintama blush at how edgy they are. Best episode of the series! The comedy in general is very Gintama-esque , though it doesn´t ever try to be heartwarming, which made cringe whenever Gintama even attempted to do it. Overall I think Excell Saga has more dignity because it´s more confident in what it is. Random bullshit. Whereas Gintama tries to be a Shounen while breaking the fourth wall and literally referencing other Shounen. I love to use food as an analogy when i compare art, because they´re both based on taste.
Anime like Gintama and Excell Saga are like decent to good Fast Food to me. No Mcdonalds! But Gintama has that tendency (when it tries to be heartwarming) to garnish it´s burgers with Caviar or other fancy stuff like truffles. YOU DON´T DO THAT! They´re burgers. I´m a simple man and I want a good Burger. No fancy rich people bullshit. Rich people it snails, fish eggs bird brains and entrails of animals whose meat they won´t eat. Some things just don´t mix! So overall since you´re a Gintama fan, check it out, at worst it´s slower and has somewhat less dick jokes in it while not holdin back on the insanity. I´ve had with both series the best laugh in all of Anime.
So that One Piece movie was kinda like the Chimera arc in Hunter x Hunter... (closest comparison I could think of).
I was more into RomComs in the beginning, transitioned on to adventure/fantasy, found Berserk, which led me on to find out about more fucked up stuff. Sometimes after I've watched too much mindfuck, I need pure comedy to cool down my brain. Know that feeling?
I guess there has been a renaissance of adventure anime recently, with Made in the Abyss and others. Magi and Zetsuen no Tempest are also a pretty cool adventure animes I think you would enjoy. Magi is more lighthearted and comedic, while Zetsuen no Tempest is a very serious adventure anime.
Just so we're clear, I like fantasy/adventure animes, but I hate the ones which spend too much time explaining what's going on, leaving nothing to our imagination. I believe that the best fantasy animes are ones which tell you the least to get you started, and leave you and the characters to explore the world. A good example would be Mahoutsukai no Yome.
Whenever I see One Piece, I shrivel back up into my shell, like a snail who's tasted salt.
Do I need to know anything about One Piece before watching Movie 6?
I'll try everything else xD.
BTW what genre is your fav?.
You (profile pic) looks awesome, and your animelist looks even better
I've just started getting into mindfuck+psychological anime, and you have quite a few good ones which I would love to try out (i.e. Mononoke).
Any other suggestions?
Glad you found my suggestion on Kaiba to be useful, and it's great to see that you're enjoying it. It is indeed similar to Made in Abyss in many ways but so far I'm preferring MIA to Kaiba. The linear story of Kaiba's second half wasn't as strong as the episodic first half and I started to find the plot to be confusing, but I still liked it for its unique visual style and soundtrack.
There's a number of science-fiction/cyberpunk anime that are similar to both MIA and Kaiba. Ergo Proxy has a similar plot to both but has a dark gritty tone to it. I need to rewatch it some time to make sense of the story but it's still one of my favourites. My sister loved it too!
For last 2 days Kitty is behaving oddly after drinking Milk .
After it finishes drinking , It gets a sort of hiccup or something similar to vomiting but its not throwing out anything .
A layer of skin from part that is towards nose tends to cover half of its eyes .
Yup ^^ I don't shy away from teasing them ^^ Like scratching at the ear joint , Whistle the dogs and they start wagging their tail .
Few incidents do happen and in most cases its either women or small kids .
Since Mobile towers came , Sparrow have disappeared . Crows and Pigeons are common . Eagles can be seen on some days . There is no neuter program here , so their population goes up and with their migration they go down . There is a dog near my house whose leg is broken and disfigured badly but he has withstood all odds and living a decent life .
I live in a town but its an extension of main city ( sort off ) . The only issue with big animals on streets is the waste they leave behind ^^
Oh !
I also think Male cats are unfriendly . Female cats are tiny and Cute compared to big and scary looks of the Male .
We have Dogs , Cows and Bulls on the streets . On Occasions there are Goats , Sheep , Horse on the streets .
Cats can be mostly found in the lawns , beneath the car , bed etc . They invade into the property of the Humans ^_^
Dogs are common , they are every where . In my neighborhood , there are around 15 Dogs and around 7-9 cats+Kittens .
SO cats also abandon their kids >_<
AT what age animals leave their Kids alone ? Especially in case of Cats .
This kitty in my house is a male and for most part I thought it was female >_<
Yesterday a Dog was about to Kill a Kitty , I tried to keep the dog away but it ran into the wild Grass ( Cannabis ) looking for it . Why do dogs run like mad when they see a cat ?
