Report Animusswtor's Profile

First things first, before someone asks: The guy in my profile pic is Jack Vessalius, my favorite character from my favorite manga Pandora Hearts. Read it. You will not regret it. Stay away from the anime though, just a tip.

Now about yours truly:
Just an avid enjoyer of japanese media. Nothing more, nothing less.

I usually look for 3 things while watching/reading. An engaging story, well rounded and developed characters and the emotional impact it has on me. Sometimes I prioritze the characters over the story, sometimes the other way around depending on what it's about, sometimes I just watch some stuff for good fun but if you don't get me on board emotionally to anyone, you might've as well just lost me completely and can't really expect a good rating.

Current favorites list for characters: selfishly selfless characters, probably my personal favorite type of character in this medium, as evident from some of my lists. (And Kumiko, Kumiko will NEVER leave my favorites list.)

Also: I am addicted to lists.

Personal rating system: After I finish an anime or manga I grant it points from 1-10 in the categories story, characters, emotional impact, art+animation, sound (except manga), and the ending/conclusion and then make an average out of the score. If I feel like I didn't enjoy it as much as I gave points I'll subtract some from one or two categories or vice versa. Sometimes my opinion on some stuff changes a bit and it can go from a 7 to an 8 or vice versa but I usually don't change it too much. The baseline from which every story begins is a 5/10, points are added or deducted in correspondence to what I like or dislike.

10 - I got two categories for this one. The true masterpieces with a full score of 10/10 and the ones that aren't quite masterpieces but basically as close to perfect as it gets with a 9.5/10. Most common reasons for me giving it a 9.5 instead of 10 is because there's either a particular flaw that I can't overlook (example: Bloom Into You's story is rather unoriginal), or the story is not finished yet. I won't give ANY unfinished story a full 10/10, no matter how good it is. (There's two exceptions.)













Incredibly stupid goal I just set myself: Getting 500 completed entries on both my anime and manga list at the same time.
More realistic and approachable goal: Reading the entire top 50 entries for Light Novels, that aren't spin-offs or side-stories.
