Report Dante012's Profile

EDIT : IF YOU'RE HERE TO INSULT ME, YOU CAN JUST SHUT UP AND FUCK OFF. I can't believe I have to do something like this, but I've NEVER seen a community as toxic as those of MAL. I'm leaving my profile public just so everyone can see the sheer number of insults I get just for voicing my opinion.

It's not about being right or wrong : it's about being a decent human instead of a piece of shit.

Also, if you come on my profile page to insult me, at least have some balls and allow me to reply. The cowardice of the people accepting replies only from friends while letting themselves harrass others is mindblowing. That's the very definition of insecurity.


-----------------------------------------------


First and foremost, I'm a kid from the '90s. By definition (or almost), I grew up with japanese animation.
Pokemon, YugiOh, Dragon Ball, Gundam, Saint Seiya,... I started watching anime shows that would air on TV back then. Obviously, in the early 2000's I started using the Internet for streaming, and discovered many more anime shows. I kept following Pokemon and Gundam, and among the new animes I found, Death Note and Code Geass are the ones who sealed my fate.


I expect mainly three qualities in an anime show:

- audiovisual quality. Because that's what makes the difference between an anime and any other product.
I don't mind weird styles (like Madoka Magica), as long as it's mostly clean and smooth.
I usually divide this point in three: visual, audio, and animation.
On a side note, I do have a preferred standard for anime length: around 40 episodes. Over 50 episodes is usually not concise, less than 30 is usually rushed.

- depth. By that, I mean: an intelligent story, believable characters, and philosophy.
I don't have any preference for realism.

- immersion. Because entertainment, by definition, is a way to evade reality. The most immersive, the better.
Basically, I like it when they make an appealing world. If an anime is able to make me literally dream, I'm sold.


These are basically the three criteria I use to judge an anime. But it doesn't mean I can't enjoy a show with a dumb plot or an anime with shitty music!
From my point of view, it's all about balance.
I can forgive plotholes if the anime is a wonderful piece of art. The contrary is also true: I can forgive bad drawings if the story is engaging enough.


I'm open to any genre of anime, although I hate Battle Shônens (usually way too long for what they're worth) and Slice of Life (boring and unrealistic most of the time).
Ironically, I can still read Battle Shônen manga (I like Naruto and Dragon Ball manga, not the anime versions), and I love many SoL shows.


Also... SUBs >>..>> DUBs!
Voice acting by the seiyuus is an art; voice acting in dubs is garbage.


Finally, if I am asked what I find so appealing in japanimation, I just show this:




Aside from anime:
Things I love:
- music, I'm open to any genre although I usually prefer orchestral music and rock songs.
- innovative tech. Right now I'm keen on Virtual Reality. It allows for the most immersive virtual experiences.
- baseball. I don't even know why, I don't even watch it or play it.


Things I hate:
- The lack of argumentation/reflexion. Think before you speak!!!
- Codes. They are never absolute, whether that be social codes, morale codes, or C++ codes (if you understand, you're a nerd).
- Repetition. I hate it when someone say something they told me several times before. Or when days look too much like the previous ones. Or when a music is so poor it sounds like a few seconds loop.
