Report Ritinal's Profile

An anime/manga fan that loves good art-styles, great character growth, and good music. I generally rate things high because if its below a 5 or 4, I likely won't want to complete it unless I'm super bored.

Favorite Show from each genre I like:
Action: Jujutsu Kaisen
Adventure: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
Comedy: Kaguya-Sama Love is War (S2 in particular)
Fantasy: Mushoku Tensei
Yuri: Asagao to Kase-san (Manga)
Mystery: Promised Neverland (Sad there was only 1 season)
Slice of Life: Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
Drama: Sangatsu no Lion

Most Complete Stories:
- Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood
- Sangatsu no Lion

Favorite Protagonists: (Measured by how effective they promote the themes/messages)

Favorite Story Endings:
- Fullmetal Alchemist
- Your Lie In April
- Sangatsu no Lion

Shows that made me cry:

Current Hot Takes:
- Mami is the best character in Rental Girlfriend (Mainly manga)
- Bland or generic fantasy/isekai animes would go from 3-4/10 to 6/10 if dialogue went by 25% faster and runtime was crunched down by 3 minutes.
- Hope AoT anime has an original ending
- Spy x Family is milktoast

How I rate:
10: I can't find anything I would change about it. Stands out significantly and is usually an inspiration to future works.
9: More unique and executes better, but still has small things that bog it down.
8: Might have an original idea, but fails to finish the execution or builds up small inconsistencies everywhere. Most "Oh that was pretty cool" shows land here.
7: Average content. Might try to stand out but ultimately fail to branch out
6: Enjoyable but did nothing to truly stand out.
4-5: I don't know if it was worth watching. Indifferent.
3-2: Did things it shouldn't have and worsened the end product. If I get far enough to actually finish something and rate it this, its usually also how bad the ending wraps it all up.
1: Actively would tell people not to watch it. Extremely rare for me because of how picky I am when picking what to watch.
