Hi everyone!

I've been exposed to anime since I was a kid, and to manga since secondary school, so you will see many old works in my list.

My favourite genres are fantasy, sci-fi, drama, romance and slice-of-life.

I love well-written stories, especially if they are character-driven. MCs or sidekicks have an impressive character development? Then the show will definitely be very high in my list.
Having worked in a domain closely related to animation, I also appreciate good production value. I especially like good animation, music and VA. But they will never overshadow writing: you could have the best visuals and audio, but if the story is poor they won't save your work.

I always try and be objective with ratings and reviews, but I have my preferences. When I'm aware that they are affecting my enjoyment, I will mention them explicitly.
You won't find many low ratings in my lists, and that's because I tend to filter out the works I don't like. If the first 1-2 episodes of an anime are not right up my alley, I will drop it and won't rate it. Most of my low ratings will come from works with promising beginnings but poor development.
