Hi, I'm Kates! I'll probably fill this out more another day, but I'm lazy, so I'm leaving it kinda brief for now. :P
Feel free to message me or send a friend request!
And if you're wondering why Excalibur has the honor of being my profile theme. . . FOOL! Why wouldn't he be?? He is objective perfection.
*About Me/Miscellaneous Stuff*
Hi! So there's not much to say about me really; I like being a little mysterious haha. I'm a pretty introverted person, so that can explain why if I friend you or you friend me I don't instigate much conversation at first. It's nothing personal—I just get a little shy around people I'm not too familiar with. But once I get comfortable with people, I talk too much, so . . . forgive me for that!
Other than watching anime, I love reading and writing and have a Bachelor's Degree in English Language and Literature. As a story enthusiast, I adore watching anime for the endless supply of unconventional tales (when compared to American media, I mean), so a lot of the things I judge anime on are literary elements and the like. Anime tell some of the best stories I've ever seen, and I'm always trying to find more.
So . . . that's all I can think to put! You've probably already noticed my Excalibur obsession, which if you've seen Soul Eater I'm sure you understand. He's wonderfully obnoxious.
I want to feel like I put something interesting here, so here is my holy trinity of anime "creatures" that I adore:
Overall, my score of an anime is almost completely based on my enjoyment of the show. Ratings are extremely subjective, so mine are as well. However, that doesn't mean I can't defend my opinions on why I find a show good or bad. As an extremely opinionated person, I can go off about most of the anime I've seen. So if you have questions about any of my ratings or tags, feel free to ask and I'll lay it on you :) Anyway, this is what each letter grade I give means for an anime:
10 ~ So good I'm obsessed and want to weep at the mere idea of it. No, seriously, I have fallen absolutely in love with this show and will revere it for years to come. (A 10 for a sequel season means that the season, in my opinion, realized the potential of the series to the fullest in the best way possible.)
9 ~ Love this show to pieces and grin at the thought of it, although I found myself looking for excuses to not give it a 10, meaning it just didn't quite hit it home.
8 ~ I had a great time watching the show and would easily recommend it, even if little things bothered me throughout.
7 ~ While I can easily say that I liked this anime, certain things here and there didn't do it for me as well as it could've, but I still respect the show.
6 ~ A show I can't heap praise toward, but I do admit I have a certain affection for it.
5 ~ Not painful enough to be "bad," not solid enough to be passable. Overall, I'm pretty neutral and can't swing one way or the other. I likely don't give a shit.
4 ~ Annoying and something I scoff toward. Certainly let me down, but I can still point out a couple things I liked or things I found acceptable despite my personal tastes.
3 ~ More of the laughably bad category, or so bad it's a shame. (I don't particularly resent 3s; I just pity them.)
2 ~ Can't stand this show and shudder at the thought of it.
1 ~ An insultingly horrendous mess. I despise its very existence. Whether it's "objectively" decent or not, I don't care, because I hate it. I feel personally violated.
Due to being married and having a full-time job, I am not as active on here as I used to be, so if my responses and stuff take too long, it's not personal. I only really use MAL for quick browsing and updating my list when I'm on mobile version, which I'm on most of the time, so . . . yeah. Nothing personal! :3 (I'm also a total scatterbrain so I will likely forget to respond often lol feel free to bug me if I do this.)
