Report Blazestar's Profile

I'm a college freshman major Applied Physics. Anime is possibly the most important art medium for me since it essentially decided the path of my life. Sorta. I decided to learn physics because of Steins;Gate. Sorta. It was a pretty important catalyst and I just happen to love physics.

I'm a very casual anime viewer. But I think about shows in a kind-of-deep level, thus I rate them quite critically. Occasionally I write some reviews with easy-to-understand English and relaxed tone. (Check out mylist, you might find something cool! All the animes have descriptions and detailed scores)

I tend to value animation quality less than story and character, but this does not apply to obvious action shows such as AoT and Kill la Kill. Character development is an important aspect of a show's success, but sometimes I'm fine with great character designs that have minimal developments.

Usually I drop the animes I do not like and I give reasons on the tags. Sometimes it's not because they are bad, it's just cuz I don't like the style or an specific genre. I only watch completed animes. Most of the time after the dub comes out so I can decide my preference.

Favorite Genre: Psychological, Mystery, Thriller.
Least Favorite Genre: Slice of Life, Shounen (generally), Hentai.
Favorite type of Character: Independent, Strong, Smart, Calm
Prefer single continuous story over episodic
Pet peeve: People who don't reply my messages after reading them... -_-

No. I don't watch hentai. They are more gross and pointless than actual porn
I do enjoy ecchi tho, as long as they don't make it unbearable :P











The definition of MONUMENTALLY-AWESOME. They are either absolutely amazing on pretty much all the aspects, or they have some extremely redeeming qualities with acceptable flaws. The later has my personal enjoyment influenced so they are certainly NOT masterpieces. None of these shows are perfect by any means, but they influenced me greatly on a personal level.



The definition of fantastic. They are respectable works that every single anime fan should appreciate. They may not be enjoyable for everyone, but they certainly are shows that go beyond and above ordinary entertainment. These shows tend to influence the anime community even after decades of its release.



The definition of great. They are very well done shows that set the benchmarks of their corresponding genres and contemporary works. Excel in their focusing areas but lacks greatly in other elements, these programs achieve objectives beautifully. Minor flaws are presented, but not in a manner that’s important enough to influence the overall image.



The definition of good. They are good pieces of entertainment for the sole sake of entertainment. These works tend to have very positive influence for the community, but flaws and poorly done parts can be easily noticed. Definitely enjoyable to a very high degree, but very little notable execution or moral messages are presented.



The definition of alright. Although these shows can provide decent entertainment for their target audience, they do not have many redeeming qualities. They either tried and failed, or they didn't try and somehow made the shows enjoyable to some degree. These shows have interesting elements, but presented in a rather unsatisfying way.



The definition of mediocre. if you feel like watching that specific type of show... yea go for it. They tend to not have any real reason for people to love it, since everything they do is flat and tasteless. Major flaws can be spotted, but alright in most parts. I would not recommend these shows to anyone unless they simply want more of what they like to see.



The definition of meh. These shows have good concepts, but fail to expand upon it. Ironically, I would recommend people to see these shows because they tend to be more entertaining than 5/10. They are very poorly executed, and plot holes can literally be found all over the place. But somehow leaves memorable impressions because of that.



The definition of bad. These tend to be aimless shows that provide little entertainment with no meaningful stories. Pointlessly aiming at nowhere, they tend to be somewhat enjoyable for a very specific group of people. But even for them, these shows are merely providing quick and random works that barely has any redeemable matters. Definitely not recommendable.



The definition of ridiculous. These are horrible shows that are basically made of flaws, plotholes, inconsistent animations, generic songs and they are BORING as hell. If I had a chance of unseeing them, I would definitely choose to do so. The creators did not put any notable effort into the productions, therefore we the viewers should not put our time into these either.



The definition of no. The existence of such insolent material is a sin.





OVAs, Extras, Specials, Spin-offs, Parodies and all that shenanigans are valued based on their objective and qualities. Whether it is an addition for the parent story, an entertaining episode that doesn't affect the plot, a funny parody, or a fanservice special, I judge the quality of the production based on how it is, instead of what it is. However, other than the ones that actually affect the plot (Kokoro Connect, Baccano), most of the OVAs tend be lame and badly animated, so do not expect too much out of them.
