Report IresuOtoko's Profile

Welcome to...


Self-Introduction
Hello there, I am just another unfortunate life-form to walk the face of this earth. I originate from Singapore, otherwise known as the Rude-Lion City. I currently am facing the stresses imposed on me by the infamous 'O'-Level examinations, thanks to both my school authorities and the rulers ministers-in-charge of the education system. I am currently just about free from the horrors of said examination.

As you may already have guessed, I am a fan of Iresu (イレース) {better known as Ilyana} from the games Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (ファイアーエムブレム 蒼炎の軌跡) and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (ファイアーエムブレム 暁の女神), thanks to her strange tendency to go hungry easily.

While many out there might regard school as being a horrific place that brainwashes you, I take simple measures to quell the full impact of this unhappiness by spending as much of my free time in the library, in addition to taking a liking to English Literature and Geography.

I am open to all friend requests, unless you are a malicious demon out to eat up my cookies. *grins*

Ratings

Disclaimer: These guidelines may or may not be followed closely. Ratings may change due to unforeseen circumstances such as being biased towards certain series, or even due to mood swings.
Additionally, ratings are only given only after I complete watching all the episodes of any anime series. (What's the point of leaving a rating after watching the first few episodes when you are bound to change it later on anyway? :3 )

The scores I give to any anime productions (in general) are based on the following guidelines:

• 9~10: Highly enjoyable, with little or no flaws detectable (at least by myself) throughout the series. Also dependent on how smoothly the animation and story plot flow. A masterpiece on its own.
  
• 7~8: Interesting enough to watch, but with several loopholes and flaws here and there. Higher rating is allocated for good-quality animation.
  
• 5~6: Lackluster series with average levels of entertainment. A better job could have been done during the production process.
  
• 1~4: Series on the whole are sub-standard with ridiculously-cliched plots and in some cases, terrible animations to boot. Higher scores are given to series with *some* attempts at creating good story-lines.
  

*Note: Animation-related factors do not apply to anime series aired before the year 2000, because the quality of anime series aired at said time is understandably poor.

I am rather annoyed with the 10-bit encodes that many fan-subbing groups are switching to. This is mainly due to the fact that I am currently using a Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard), and so far, the only forms of support I've seen provided for Macs are exclusively for Snow Leopard and Lion, both of which I am unable to upgrade to due to a lack of funds (I am just a mere student).

What ticks me off even further is when fan-subbing groups do the switch without first informing anyone, and when questioned (albeit politely), turn around and lash at the 'sinners' who dare to make such queries.

Tips anyone?
