About tehnominator
So what about me?

I am left-handed and short, so that should explain everything.

I spend time on MAL mostly to keep in check what I've seen or what I am watching, but I also enjoy writing reviews for mostly obscure anime and manga. I give my love to the unloved.

Normally, I would go by "The Denominator", which is my pen name ("tehnominator" is my idea of portmanteau). Lately it seems that I've been dubbed the nicknames "Tehno" and "Nomi" based off my current user name; I don't mind being called those, since typing "tehnominator" might be a bit tedious.

If you want to know who is the character in my profile pic or forum avatar, it's this charming young lady right here:


If you need help with absolutely anything anime, manga or MAL related or just anything at all, feel free to ask as I'm always glad to be of help to people.

Btw, anything you see under spoiler tags on my profile--they're not spoilers for anything. I get very lengthy and wordy, thus needed to not have people scroll for ten minutes before they could get to my comments section. So it's safe to click any of the spoiler tags you see here.

As per 4chan and the rest of the Internet:

It has come to my attention that trolls are using my name/pretending to be me on /a/, so just to get this out of the way--I am not Anon. I don't use a tripcode. I don't post on 4chan. Peruse, yes. Post? No. As I said before, it's bad enough I go for boat rides in the internet sewers, but I haven't got to the level of sticking my hand in the sludge just yet. So if you see my name being used outside of MAL (4chan or anywhere else), it's not me. If you see any links to this profile or any of my lists/blogs/reviews, it is not me. I don't use this username for anything other than my MAL and a Photobucket account.

Check Point:

1st anime completed: My Neighbour Totoro
100th anime completed: Vision of Escaflowne
200th anime completed: Dennou Coil
300th anime completed: Ame to Shoujo to Watashi no Tegami
400th anime completed: Xam'd: Lost Memories
500th anime completed: Kemonozume
600th anime completed: Mind Game
700th anime completed: Moyashimon

It really is not that hard to see many anime.

No!

Let's get this out of the way...


Even Jesus don't wanna be your friend.

I do not accept random friend requests. Talk* to me first. I don't mind getting to know new people, but I gotta know you genuinely have something to say rather than you just want your friend list get longer. This isn't Facebook!

*By "talking to me" I don't mean you give me three PMs or comments and then go, "Can I add you now!?" We have to at least have a handful of meaningful conversation or at least some sort of rapport going.

Things I am fond of:

Just to let you know, I'm not joking by putting Pokemon as one of my favourites. I like Pokemon more than I like most people. The things listed under the "Favourite" sections on the left-hand panel are just that--my favourites. They are not all what I would consider to be the all time best anime/manga/characters/people in existence. MAL asked me to list my favourite ones, and so I did. If you want to know what titles I think are the best anime, you can always check out my ratings; any anime I've given a score of 9 or 10 is what I consider to be great stuff.

My 5 Favourite Animation Studios



My 10 Favourite Directors



My Favourite Anime OP & ED, INS, "Engrish", Seiyuu Performed and Instrumental Theme Songs



Perfection!

Mushi-Shi, My Neighbour Totoro and Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou. Three things I've never had any sort of problem with in any aspect. Perfect 10s in terms of art, characters, story--everything.


May not be your cup of tea, but it's my tea party.

---

History etc. etc.

I love anime. Zzz...

So about this long-time affair:


I will most definitely drop an anime immediately if the first episode fails to impress me. I've been trying not to drop anime series, even if they're terrible. I have a high number of Dropped series because there are anime out there go on for far too long or they're utter bollocks...

I don't read a lot of manga. Only if and when the series isn't animated as yet or the manga version is vastly superior, I will read it.

Random.

I prefer typing "OAV" than "OVA".

OVA = original video animation
OAV = original animated video

It means the same thing, so it's not a continuous typo, it's deliberate. I like the visual aesthetic of the vowels "o" and "a" being closer without the consonant in between, which explains why I don't like they way "OVA" looks. I have weird dislikes. Speaking of likes and dislikes...

Anime That Make Torture Seem More Merciful



Characters I Wish Death Upon (Or At Least A Heavy Concussion)



However, it's not all about what makes me mad, there are lots of characters who make me very, very happy in anime and manga.

Anime and Manga Genres


I enjoy: Dementia, drama, josei, psychological, romance, samurai, sci fi, seinen, slice of life, sports*, supernatural, and yuri.

I am ambivalent to: Action, fantasy, mecha, and yaoi.**

I would rather not watch: Ecchi and harem.***

*BASEBALL. I love baseball anime with all my love. Other sports anime, not so much.
**The best yaoi I've ever seen also happens to one of the best ONAs and animated short films ever made: Shishido Kojiro's nakedyouth.
***I should really say, "I'd rather not watch anything that a 14 year old boy would like." since ecchi can be fun, and I can manage harems, once tastefully done (re: Clannad). Reverse harem anime are more appealing to me since those tend to be less offensive and not as nasty.


Dubs aren't the Devil


These are anime with some of the more outstanding English dubs I've seen.

1. Cowboy Bebop/Samurai Champloo
2. Fruits Basket
3. Hellsing
4. Pokemon
5. Cromartie High School

Explanation for choices:

I'm not a dub enthusiast, but I'm not Japanese audio-only elitist. I tend to watch anime in dual audio, anyway. These are some of the better dubs I've heard. In some cases, the English VAs did something with the anime that the original seiyuu didn't do for it. I dare say these English versions had a better overall effect. Anyway, those are the anime that didn't make me cringe from the English voice tracks.

Seeing as how I am such an audio snob...

Seiyuu Love


Listed next to their names are the roles that make my ears very, very happy.

As for the current top favourite seiyuu on MAL's list... Hirano Aya and Fukuyama Jun? I think they are highly overrated.

---

Club things.

You know. Just some stuff from clubs. Yeah. You can find me here, if anything, most of the time:





---

Other MAL stuff:

My much younger siblings are also on MAL. There's my nine-year-old brother and my six-year-old sister. Watching anime is one of the few related hobbies we share, since there's a vast age difference between us.

You know the saying "A family that watches anime together... " Well, I don't know the rest.

---

Mostly non-MAL related junk.

Writer...? Not really. I wrote yuri fanfiction back when I was young(er) and stupid(er)*. I kept a LiveJournal that has splurges about my daily life and mostly my ramblings on anime.

*It is debatable whether I have grown smarter or simply less stupid.

More about me, I guess? Click on Nobue if you want to learn anything else. Or whatever.

lmao, someone made a post in the Strawberry Panic club asking about the name of a song, and they had the same avatar as you, so i didn't bother checking the name. For the past few hours i've been thinking to myself "Why would Nomi ask about that if she doesn't like SP?..."

I just realized it wasn't you xD

Haha yeah xD but sadly he didn't die in the end.
Anyway i got that anime through your list :P Your tags are very interesting, sis ! XD

A7Xrawks | Today, 1:04 AM
Hey tehno :D

Blue flames is soooo interesting that its bad. ^^

Master_M2K | Yesterday, 5:51 PM
No, however there's a lot of content that goes far beyond the slitting of wrist. Well if you decide to read them then the order I read them in is somewhat advised, however I think "Host" should be left to last.

Master_M2K | Yesterday, 4:49 PM
Well I've just read everything the Deep Love collection has to offer and I'm incredibly depressed. I needs me a hug (^^). But seriously I don't see why the mangaka went out of his/her way to make to so damn depressing to read. You've really gotta read it for yourself, to understand.

DonKangolJones | Yesterday, 4:02 PM
There. I think all I have left to watch is Aoi Bungaku & Trapeze. I'm already past episode 5 of Fairy Tail, but I'm wondering if I should really start talking about my impressions of a shounen series only 5 episodes in. It may not be a bad idea, I'm just a bit weary.

whobody | Yesterday, 2:01 PM
I'm really neutral to Kuroshitsuji, to be honest. It's not a bad show (at least, not to me) but it's not as good as you'd expect if you actually took its rating into consideration.

The plot seems like it's just going to be repetitive where Ciel and his demon butler go on a bunch of missions to help people. It's kind of entertaining but I don't exactly feel thrilled watching it. The characters are pretty one-dimensional so far. I just favorited Ciel because I think he's cute (>_>) and he sometimes amuses me. Well he's cuter and more amusing to me than the average anime character, anyway. Sebastian I think is favorited by a lot of people because of how 'cool' he is and the fact that he's like a super butler. I liked him at first but he isn't getting any cooler :P. I get the feeling that the show is going to be pretty fillery until close to the end.

But it's pretty great compared to Junjo Romantica(but then again, what isn't). I don't think you would hate it...The yaoi hints aren't overdone imo and usually make me laugh rather than feel awkward/forced. But maybe they would annoy you...I can't tell :(

I think I'll just let you know if it's worth watching after I'm done with it :P...I don't really have anything really bad to say about it so far.

Skadi | Yesterday, 11:19 AM
There sure are alot of people who really care about how you spend your time. Im your friend and I dont care how you spend your time. I am trying to figure this out for myself.

Winley | Yesterday, 8:36 AM
Sorry, I didn't mean it in a bad way.

I guess you do what you love, and for me I love a lot of other things so I can't really watch as much as you do.

Winley | Yesterday, 6:46 AM
You sure you're not blitzing through Anime?

My record for anime watched in a week is 48episodes, I then looked at your history and in two weeks you watched nearly 200episodes. Do you do anything but watch Anime? ;P

Anyway, what are you enjoying most of the airing Anime?

DonKangolJones | Yesterday, 5:44 AM
yeah, Fairy Tail.... I know what you mean by the "meh" factor. I think we've long outgrown the demographic they're shooting for (Japan=preteens, America=teenagers) & have seen enough of a already cliche genre. Even for something as cliche as shounen anime, Fairy Tail is pretty generic. When I do enjoy the show, it's normally for the usual fight scenes where the main character, or cool side character is just to bad ass to be phased by the scrubs, or has more heart than the "Big Bad" of the story arc. So while I'm enjoying it now, I can see myself getting tired of it pretty quick.

Then again, the one saving grace for this series may be the classic "awesome" story arc that makes everyone worship the series & later once it's reach hundreds of episodes, makes them wish for the old days. You should know what I mean,

One Piece-> Arlong Arc
Bleach-> Soul Society Arc
Naruto-> Chunin Exams
D.Gray-man-> Edo Arc
DBZ -> Saiyan Saga
Yu Yu Hakusho ->Demon Tournament Arc (I think that's what it's called)

How this show does will rest on that. If the arc that everyone thinks is awesome in the manga fails to impress me when I watch the anime.... it's dumped.

By the way, look @ my fav characters list...

Skadi | Yesterday, 3:28 AM
Lol. Nice. Good response!

whobody | 11-18-09, 11:42 PM
Hehe, I think it's the opposite for me. I feel nice and happy when I think about Tomoya and Ushio together :P. It's a shame that
in After Story. I guess a part of me did hope there would be a third season because of that...but in the end, it would probably just kill the feeling you're left with at the end of that series.

As much as I think TTGL is overrated, I have to admit that I felt a pretty wide range of emotions while watching it :P. At least I think that's how it was for me...at the moment I can only remember feeling energy rushes, depressed, and pissed off(that was the most prominent feeling I had watching it...) and I think this was in cycles :P

What was it that disappointed you about Clannad? I'm guessing it's a different reason than why I felt massively disappointed in it...my 7 rating for it is a bit dishonest :P...but I guess I can rationalize it by saying that it had a few moments of greatness (like Nagisa's stage fright/breakdown (before Akio killed that moment for me)). I think if I didn't like Tomoya I would have truly detested Clannad :P...it's weird though since I didn't like him nearly as much in Clannad as I did in After Story as he felt like more of a straight man in it and he seemed to lack personality...it's a bit of a nagging thought I've had since I watched After Story.

Yeah, I watched Grave of the Fireflies early this year. It's funny because I didn't watch a lot of anime until this year. I remember it had the strongest impact on me. No other movie really made me think about how I live my own life like that one. I can't actually remember if I cried but I think I was close to it
. I'd recommend it to anyone too. I remember I watched it English dubbed first :P and it still left no less of an impact than the Japanese dub did. Maybe that's because I didn't care so much about voice acting at the time but I think that goes to show what a great movie it is. Lol, I would hope that it affected you on a deeper level than TTGL and Clannad :P...but I guess I wouldn't make fun of you if it was the other way around :). I agree that the realism was what made it so depressing. Any one of us could make the mistakes he did and then not act on them until it's too late.

Looks like I made another long comment :P..but I don't think you'd mind, unlike some people...

DonKangolJones | 11-18-09, 5:02 PM
There. Finally got around to posting my thoughts on Sasameki Koto up to episode 5. It's a good thing I got a backlog of stuff I've written. May not get much anime watching done for a few days. Just got a new phone & a new video game "New Super Mario Bros. Wii". That is some good OL-SKOOL Mario FUN!!! Can't wait to play some more!

DonKangolJones | 11-18-09, 4:44 PM
I can't believe I read a review about poo..... I can't believe you spent your a part of your life writing about poo. I like writing ...POO. heh heh

Also, I'm debating on whether I should continue watching Queen's Blade or just marathon it, since the marathon was so much fun to watch.

By the way, I'm gonna put your poo on Twitter. :-P
