I now allow comments on my profile. I may disable them again in the future, but I'll see how it goes.

Personal Details:
I am an anime fan, but I don't consider myself an otaku. I've been watching anime since 1999 (Rurouni Kenshin was my first), but I've only really been enamored with the medium since 2008 when I started joining popular online anime communities and caught up with current anime as a result.

My Tastes:
I like a lot of anime genres and I don't have much of a bias against any of them. If I had to choose a favorite genre, it would be drama. As vague and all-encompassing as that sounds, I like anime that handle their dramatic conflicts with consistency, as well as characters that I can empathize with or at least adore. A lot of my top anime and manga are action, but for me the action is mostly a backdrop for awesome drama, characters, and plot.

I'm also a fan of the slice-of-life genre. I know from experience that there tend to be a lot of clunkers in this genre, but the best of the lot really shine as good anime.

My visual novel list. I consider a VN "completed" when I've played through all the routes I'm interested in with a certain level of satisfaction. Deal with it.

Guide to Scores:
The values of my anime/manga ratings are a lot higher than the average and certainly don't correspond to this website's standards.

10 - Sublime.
9 - Excellent.
8 - Awesome.
7 - Great.
6 - Good.
5 - Above Average.
4 - Below Average.
3 - Poor.
2 - Bad.
1 - Terrible/Abysmal.

Random Facts:

• I don't normally accept random friend requests. If we've had a decent amount of conversation in the past, or if I know you from elsewhere, then I'll accept your request.
• It helps me to enjoy an anime if it has a cute/attractive female character in it. I'm a man after all.
• I don't have a 'waifu', and I doubt that I ever will have one. I admire and feel moe feelings for lots of female characters, but I draw a line at the 'waifu' thing.
• Out of the seven deadly sins, the one which describes me the best is sloth.
• I have no idea how CSS works so my list style is bland.
• I strongly favor subs over dubs. I'm aware that there are some decent dubs out there, but almost none are a suitable replacement for the original audio.
