Hey, I'm glad you liked my review. Thanks for reading!
Wow, reading back, I definitely could have spent another paragraph going into what I meant by "self-aware". There are a lot of shows that try to have their cake and eat it too, being incredibly indulgent in their use of popular tropes, but then making a point of drawing attention to that, acting as if this awareness constituted a subversion that had elevated the material. Think the fanservice episodes of Saekano, and I'm guessing parts of Tomozaki-kun as well, though I haven't seen that. It's a light novelism that is extremely grating if it doesn't have the substance to back it up, and given that Makeine was originally written under a title along the lines of "Am I actually some kind of mob character who shows up next to the runner-up heroine in the final chapter of the story?", I went into it with a lot of trepidation that it was going to be kind of insufferable in that regard.
Basically, I wanted the beginning of my review to come across as really cynical - to match the attitude that I would have had going into the show - so that the contrast would be all the more dramatic when I started showering it with effusive praise. I really wanted to stack the deck against Makeine, to lay out every bias I was bringing with me, all to make a point of just how much it blew me away with its confidence in its execution.

Thank you.

Happy Birthday!

Haha yeah something like that. ^^
I see, keep me updated. I would love to hear your thought once you finish it.

I see Neon Genesis Evangelion is really something everyone should watch once, just because it's part of anime history and culture.

How far are you in the series?

That is nice to hear! I hope you still think that way.

What are you currently watching/reading? :o
