Tratando de sobrevivir.
The recommendations are welcome, as long as they take into account my preferences that are visible in my favorites and the genres that interest me the most: Sci-fi, seinen, psychological, philosophy, drama, slice of life, comedy, thriller and mystery.
In my scoring system, my minimum score is 4. So far I didn't see an anime worse than a four, and if I start watching an anime that looks like it's so bad, I'll leave it in the first episode, since it would not be worthwhile to continue watching it, in that case I will not score it.
The animes that I mark as dropping are those that bored me, stopped liking me, ceased to interest me or didn't hook me until the fourth episode. If I start a new anime first I see if I like the first episode; If I don't like it, I'm not interested or it's so bad that it's not worth continuing to watch it, I'll leave it (I don't mark it as dropped), otherwise I'll continue until the fourth episode. Lately I became more selective, I almost didn't continue animes that seem inferior to a six, which would be something like a four in the normal score system from one to ten.
My scoring system:
I would like to score with decimals, but MAL doesn't allow it, however despite that, I have my own way to qualifying:
I try to score between 4 and 10 points as objectively as possible (yes, I know, in fact it's very subjective my way of scoring) and as the scale shows, a 4 equals approximately 1. I didn't evaluate the animation or the soundtrack, only the history and its development, more than anything its coherence, its congruence, then I give a bonus to the score (between +0.5 and +1) only if I really liked the anime and if I think it deserves it (for its originality or because it shows that it was done with great care), such as Kino no Tabi that have a score of 10. If I give an anime a score of, for example, 7.5 and I didn't like it enough, the score that remains on my list is a 7. Another example, a bit controversial maybe: Cowboy Bebop and Death Note are very good animes but in my opinion not so good as to be great, therefore they have a score of 8 on my list. There are some animes that I watched them and I scored them before I had this system, like Code Geass, so I would have to see them again to score them correctly, but not wanting to do it.
Hiciste clic, así que asumo que viste Serial Experiments Lain, y si no lo viste te pido humildemente que te vayas lentamente, esto es para los que adoran a Lain. Si al terminar el anime te quedaste con ganas de más, acá tengo algo que te va a gustar: La traducción al español del juego de SEL para ps1, traducción hecha por una buena persona que tuvo la valentía y las ganas de hacerlo (recomiendo que vean el blog de esta buena persona, publica cosas interesantes). La historia es diferente a la del anime, pero cada fragmento (o mejor dicho, archivo) vale mucho la pena. Esta historia es como un mundo aparte, se enfoca más en lo psicológico. Si no sabes en que orden leerlo no tengas dudas en preguntarme. Más abajo, en el otro botón, también dejo la versión en ingles que es interactivo y mas parecido al juego.
You clicked, so I assume you saw Serial Experiments Lain, and if you didn't see it, get out of here, this is for those who love Lain. If at the end of the anime you were left wanting more, here I have something that you will like: The english translation of the SEL game for ps1. The story is different from the anime, but each fragment (or rather, archive) is very worthwhile. This story is like a separate world, it focuses more on the psychological. If you don't know in what order to read it, don't hesitate to ask me.
In that case you should like it, as it is both sci-fi and psychological. A description people usually use while talking about it is "Lord of the Flies in space". So yeah, the main focus is on the internal dynamics of a space ship's crew rather than mech battles (which are pretty rare).
Technically it isn't even a mech but a remote controlled robot.
I have actually seen the first few episodes of that, but the person I watched it with didn't like it, so we ended up dropping it. I suppose I should continue it by myself sometime.
Recommendations hmm... Well, since our tastes seem pretty similar you could pick anything from my favorites list. My first recommendation would be Mugen no Ryvius because almost nobody seems to have seen it despite it being really good. It's my mission to inform people about that show lol. Idk how much you like scifi/mecha though.
It was very cool, each episode had a subtle theme that made me think a lot.
I especially liked the war episode and how it showed the brutality of human morals, how they will take out frustration and stress on others to make a temporary solution like how they were tired of killing each other and losing their loved ones so they decided to target other villagers, this is kind of like escaping to face your reality and taking it out on others because your tired of it sort of thing, i also liked how they showed that this cycle of hatred will continue because of the oppressed victims. I also liked how they showed that the potential in human's can very a lot and it all depends on how courageous you are to go against your current culture like that girl who made a airplane. I liked how they compared human to birds and say that when we see birds human have a urge to go on a journey almost as if they were trapped birds, i think it was trying to imply that when human see the freedom of birds they feel like they are trapped by their culture and surroundings and spire to gain that freedom the birds have. I also liked how they implied that the world isn't perfect, but that's what makes it so beautiful because we can discover new things.
I already do those things,except the books, I've been slacking lately. They help a lot to be honest, but I know I will have to find a job, and if I can't find one that suits me, I will have to struggle in things that annoy me.
Yes you do understand. You put all that info into a small packet of a sentence, good job. I did go at an IT University, but lost the passion of programming once I saw that I would have to go through 10 years of unnecessary garbage work just so you can even remotely attempt at doing something you like, at least for my country that is. And I don't have the funds to go elsewhere, hence the job search. But I think I will be able to find something that I can enjoy enough and make enough money. Tnx for the praise.
Wanted to talk to a person, about nothing in particular, but just rational talk. I seem to have strayed into my right sided brain nearly 100%. For 4 days I have delayed my usual patterns of daily interaction, I lost the need of feelings because for the first time I fully explained and rationalized every feeling in my head. I can't seem to think of a job that doesn't involve me loosing my shit because someone didn't understand something. I lost my passion for drawing, I can't seem to enjoy nearly anything around me, my head hurts and I have uncontrolled muscle spasms on my left biceps for nearly 4 days (they come and go). All of that after watching Ergo Proxy. All I do half of the time is look at my profile on MAL and stare at the pictures and read my review or I do something else and try to think about everything that is around me and rationalize it which I succeed most of the time and in doing so make myself want to either do something that I would love to do which would be bad for the environment and the people around but probably please me, or not do that, get myself preoccupied with games or any other functions that involve motorical movement to try to tire myself so I don't make me want to hate and displease myself for not doing anything.
Hey there! I don't know if you recognize the profile, if not just scroll down :) I was just looking at your comments on my profile last night and thought to allow myself to have better, more relaxed conversations with people from now on. It sure is a rarity to have your calmness...
Thanks, I plan to add to the blog over the coming weeks/months when I get free time. I've been rewatching it recently and there's so many subtle details I missed on my first watch
Hey! Let me know your thoughts on Angel's Egg when you've watched it. It's such an unusual film with lots of symbolism and I'm interested to see what you take from it
