nice taste

Thanks!

A Big Thank You From A Random

Short Edit: This was originally written as a PM but it seems you don't accept PM's from non-friend users. For anyone else reading this it's not anything too important it's
just a thank you to this user's review that opened my eyes to a series and a genre of anime. Also the question in the review needn't be answered I prob won't include it unless I get a direct response. Thanks either way.

I know this might come off as really odd, but I thought of messaging you in regards to your review from 2008 of Boogiepop Phantom, which is what actually lead me to watch the show. You described it as something similar to David Lynch's work and that made me want to watch it, consequentially making it one of my favorite franchises of all time and I know you don't know me and all you wanted to do was express your feelings on anime you liked, but if I hadn't read that review two or three years ago my taste in anime would not be here. It's weird how watching one psychological horror show makes you wanting more :0 and with the lack of so many shows I discovered stuff like Serial Experiments Lain and Texhonolyze which I was surprised to learn had similar or even sometimes the exact same people working on them.
I am currently writting a youtube Deep Dive into Boogiepop and I ended up finding a lot of obscure things, would you mind if I use a screenshot of your review in a small section of this video because, you said exactly my thoughts on it and after watching it an rewatching it multiple times. I'm sure it's not as obscure as I'm making it out to be but I've seen it's way worse recieved then shows like Lain and I wish to make a change, since the 2019 Boogiepop adaptation was a god damn nightmare, it ruined a lot of my enjoyment of the series and I hope to see a faithful adaptation of the novels one day with a similar animation style to the 2006-2008 novel ads.
Either way I'm sure you may not be as passionate as I in this subject but I wish you a great day and thanks a lot for the review. It meant a lot to me.
 
Cheers!

Love your review of Spriggan :)

nice reviews, nice profile

Hey, do you have a Letterboxd account? I'm intrigued to know about your taste in films.

There're a lot of hints in the fine print, hiding in the Japanese spelling. "Maid" in the show's title is spelled 冥途, which phonetically is pronounced as "Meido" like Maid, but it means "Hades; the underworld; the other world; realm of the dead" in Buddhist mythology. Episode 11 is called "Battles Without Moe". The gambling scene of episode 2 and it's dialog is lifted almost 1:1 from the live action.

I guess a ton of those word plays and references could be found, given time and Japanese language skills.

Thanks for checking out Maid Wars, I hope you enjoy. Here's a little pseudo-review with background info which will put it into context. https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=101994&show=2500#msg68327585 ED: Posted it as regular review. https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=469037

Nice lists and reviews man

Thank you so much!

I see how a lot of people like your reviews and I totally agree with them. I read your review on the manga Mars by Fuyumi Souryo and I loved every word of it. It motivated me to check it out. Have you read the scanned version of the manga? if so, can you send me a link to read it? Thank you!

I like your Pale Cocoon review. My name is also Nik!

Nice list

Dude, the writing in your Pluto review gave me chills. You have such a way with words. In a time where now essays might be taken over with prose from AI like Chatbot GPT I feel like reviews written as well as yours might come less and less in the following years.
