Anime List Manga List

Loli Queen of the Void。

I'm generally referred to as Loli。Welcome to my little pocket realm.

I'm always on the hunt for high quality content, but I mostly choose things based on my own whims or emotional needs. My favourite genres tend to be yuri, mystery, horror, and slice of life. I have a special place in my heart for mahou shoujo. If you wish to pay tribute with suggestions, I'd be most pleased.

I've probably played ten times as many games as I've watched/read anime/manga, which fall into exactly the same categories. Mostly though, I'm a big fan of JRPGs and those with a gripping story or mystery. Generally, the more immersive the better.

!!!In terms of understanding my rating system!!!
I take what the description next to the score says literally, and I don't take it lightly:
[10] has to be an absolute masterpiece with almost no flaw, so it's practically non-existent.
[9] is the true top tier stuff that is almost perfect and pushes the boundaries in some way; these tend to be my highest rated.
[8] is the tier that most great stuff sits at, but doesn't really push any boundaries, it's a 'safe but great' anime.
[7] is for those that are of generally good quality but are what I'd consider pretty average; best used for filling time when nothing else is available.
[6] is when it starts to feel like a waste of time, stuff that's creeping into bad territory.
[5-1] are varying levels of 'avoid', this is where the truly awful stuff goes, or things that I think you should steer clear of. It's rare but occasionally high-quality pieces of work end up here, with an accompanying explanation.

Also yes, I've watched Pokemon, Digimon, Yu Gi Oh, Beyblade etc. I watched them as a kid in English, and I'm not going to put them alongside lists such as these, it would simply end up with needless padding and inaccurate ratings based on something I watched a very long time ago.

What's happening right now?

Not a lot really, I've been jumping through my backlog trying to finish a few things, and our current playthrough of the Elden Ring DLC is dragging on as expected, despite the fact I finished all the main content months ago.

Worthy Games

The game I play the most currently is World of Warships. I'm a pretty big fan of the Azur Lane/WoWs feedback loop and I like history/shipfus. If you play both games, it's a great combination.

In terms of game series, the Metal Gear, Nier, Soulsborne, MegaTen, Yakuza and Fire Emblem series are some of my favourite franchises.

Favourite game company has to be SEGA, I own most of the old consoles and have a lot of fun with them. SEGA are responsible for a lot of high-quality stuff in general, and I've got a lot of respect for their push towards PC games. Favourite SEGA games include Super Hang on for Mega Drive, Dragon Force for Saturn, SEGA Rally 2 for Dreamcast and Yakuza 0 for modern platforms.

Current favourite console is the Nintendo Switch. Don't underestimate its game library. Favourite older console is the SEGA Saturn. Grew up with the PS2/GBA, I feel like the golden era was during my time on the Xbox 360. Games feel very different these days, different target demographic.

Worthy Visual Novels

If you're new to the genre I'd start with more interactive hybrid games like the Danganronpa, Zero Escape or Ai Somnium series, it's a great way to ease into it if you're unsure, and they're great games in their own right. Visual novels include some of the best storytelling in any medium and should not be overlooked.

For those familiar with the genre, the Science Adventure series (such as Steins;Gate) is god tier. My favourite yuri visual novel is the Flowers series, definitely give those a go. If you want your standard hetero stuff though, the Grisaia series is also good. Other worthy mentions include Fatal Twelve (includes nice yuri) and Root double for the weird and wonderful.

Also, I say this all the time, but when it comes to Steins;Gate and 0 play the visual novels first, it's a far better experience. It's hard to ruin such a masterpiece of storytelling, which is why the anime is rated so highly, but the VN is a lot better and gives greater depth to the characters and story.
