About Kineta
Me and MAL:
First and foremost, I am currently one of the DB Administrators on MAL. This takes up most of my MAL time that isn't contributed to contests and other stuff :) If you have any questions in regards to the any of the databases, please read the Database Guidelines and then if still necessary, post here: Anime | Manga | Characters/People.
Aside from my MAL staff duties, I also help out with the Fantasy Anime League. FAL is usually run bi-yearly, for the Spring and Fall sessions. It's a lot of fun, so I encourage you to join the club and participate in a season if you get the chance :D I am also an editor over at MAL Rewrite. If you have any writing skills whatsoever, I strongly encourage you to think about joining!
I used to be involved in the Icontests run through the anime/manga icons club and the Art Jams over at the Art Jam Club, but just don't have the time these days :( Still they're a lot of fun, so I encourage you to take part!
Me and Anime/Manga:
I don't know when I started watching anime, but I've always loved cartoons (animated and illustrated). I drew countless of Sailor Moon, Mummies Alive!, and Neon Genesis pictures when I was growing up (so it's not limited to anime) and even made a few mini animations myself. With this in mind, it shouldn't be surprising that the thing that draws me most to anime and manga is the art.
I love recommendations for new series (including drama)!
Romance is a huge element for me, but blind romance, harems and wishy-washy leads usually irritate me to no end. Slice-of-life probably ranks second on my genre favourites since my own life is so hectic. In an anime, I love that it will have 13-26 episodes and it's done; it has a reason to run and ends. For manga, I usually prefer longer series (not neverending, mind you) because I don't really feel like the characters can get enough development otherwise.
Me, Me, Me
Unfortunately, for the last few years school has been my life. I recently completed my BSc in Electrical Engineering and am hoping to finish my MSc (specialised in MEMs and Nanosystems) in August 2010. Ultimately, I would like to apply my engineering degree to the medical field in the industrial sector; specifically, to medical diagnostics. This is where I believe I will be able to be the most help to society.

FAL Placings:
Spring 2008 - 13th place
Fall 2008 - 36th place (horrible :S)
Spring 2009 - 9th place
Fall 2009 - 10th place
Spring 2010 - we shall not say... (My excuse is I made my team 20 min before leaving for Mexico)
Rough score guide:
1-5 -- Dropped quickly and didn't bother adding it to my list. I don't have time to watch shows that I don't like.
6 -- Something irritated or bored me while watching, that couldn't be fixed with the final episode.
7 -- I enjoyed watching the series, but once was enough.
8 -- Liked it more than the average series. Might watch again.
9 -- Something resonated with me in the series. Would most likely watch again.
10 -- I could watch over and over, and still love it.
