My Top 5 anime by year (no particular order, ongoing doesn't count, it goes by year of release, only series -no movies-): (Last Update: 7/12/2023)



At this stages in my life, I'm not in for hating anime. There is a trend of these popular anime being hyped or hated... I think I've learned to ignore all of those people and just enjoy the shows if I think they're worth it. I don't care about something being "overrated" or "underrated". I only care about how I rate it.

I know that if you search my list, you'll probably find at least one anime with an outrageous rating (could be too high or too low)... but hey, deal with it. Of course, you're free to ask why I rated something with X score, and I'll happily answer.

If you think you can recommend me something that's not in my list, feel free to do it... actually, it's always appreciated.

I've learned to love pretty much all genres, but that definitely doesn't mean I'm going to like all anime. I've enjoyed series from pretty much all genres just like there are series I dislike from all of them.

Besides anime, I love playing the bass (though I admit I haven't played as much as I'd like to the last couple of years) and am a big fan of music, with my favorite genre being jazz (and classical).

If you happen to be a jazz fan (and you're most likely an anime fan if you're reading this) and somehow you haven't heard of Platina Jazz, then you should be a bit ashamed. Today I'll leave something from them here, but check the whole channel... and actually search for their music on the internet, they don't upload everything to YouTube. Here's some Season 3 pls:



Another bonus semi-connected to anime. I say semi-connected because the artist has nothing to do with anime really, and the theme is not meant for anime either, but it still is an ending. Those who've seen JoJo will recognize this tune written and played by Pat Metheny:




I also like basketball a lot. Lakers fan since 1996. Right now I'm quite sad because of Kobe's retirement. It's the right choice by Kobe, the best for him, the team and even the fans. But even if your brain tells you it's the right thing, even if it's crystal clear, acceptance is not always easy. The NBA will never be the same. It's been 20 years. That said WHAT A FINAL GAME!



Oh, and this Aomine vs Kobe video was gold:



Everything written before this paragraph was written before the tragic and unexpected passing of Kobe Bryant. Words cannot even begin to describe the sadness I felt because of this. I never met Kobe, but the man meant a lot for my childhood, teenage and early adulthood. I absolutely loved his game, and through the years he earned my respect as a person because of his hard work and his approach to life. I learned a lot from Kobe, and he will never be forgotten.

And if Light Novels are in the manga section of this web, then Visual Novels should also be, and I've read a few of those:



Finally, I'm a huge video games fan, and I'm back at gaming, even if I don't have much time for it.
