Introduction

I'm an anime enthusiast who enjoys a wide range of genres. I particularly enjoy drama, romance, thriller, comedy, and slice-of-life. On the other hand, I dislike most ecchi/harem and long running shounen shows due to how incredibly predictable they usually are, although there are a few notable exceptions. I also read manga, visual novels and light novels, but not nearly as much as I watch anime. Feel free to make any anime/manga/VN/LN recommendations that you think I will be able to enjoy.

I'm fairly open regarding friend requests; however, I will not accept random requests from strangers I have never talked to before. This means you should try to start a conversation first before sending an invitation. I encourage friendly discussions and debates, so drop me a comment or two if you have something to talk about. If you have any questions about my ratings or anything else on my page, then feel free to ask. Constructive criticism is appreciated; trolling, however, is not.

Visual Novels

Probably my favorite medium in terms of overall immersion and emotional impact. I would encourage any anime fan to give visual novels a try. Some of the highly acclaimed titles may be time-consuming, but the payoff is definitely worth the time investment. Trust me, you won't regret investing your time on this niche medium.

Comment: A story that started off promising, but was ultimately plagued with inconsistent quality across its heroine routes. Lilly's and Hanako's routes were the only routes worth playing, and I had unfortunately played them first. Emi's route was meh at best, while Rin's and Shizune's literally bored me to sleep on multiple occasions. The two things I'll credit this visual novel for are the soundtrack and translation. They were top notch. And Lilly was a solid character. The rest of the game? Forgettable at best, and downright boring more than half of the time.

I don't think I'll be active on this site anymore, due to work life getting busier than ever before. I'll probably only be around to update the shows I watch/read until I find more time for online activities. Until then, I won't be replying to comments regularly. Hope you guys understand.
