Hi! I'm Panzer IV-J!
I am completely normal and can definitely be trusted rating shows with accurate scores.
I am always correct, IDC what you say, I am a free thinker.
"My Last Day" is the best anime.
"Beavis & Butthead" and "Daria" are the best cartoons.
PlayStation 2 Master-race.

{My rankings are below this, under the "Super Secret Button" titled "My Rankings", if you're curious}
1-4: Just Bad/Unbearable, number only reflects severity. (Likely to drop)
5: Mediocre. (High chance of dropping)
6: Endurable, not likely to recommend. (50/50 on dropping)
7: Good, might not re-watch. (Unlikely to drop)
8: Thoroughly Enjoyable, time well spent. (Won't drop)
9: Highly Enjoyable, may have minor issues. (Definitely won't drop)
10: Highly Enjoyable. Practically perfect anime. (Definitely won't drop)
I actually havn't been into anime for a very long time, only since late 2021, the only reason I even got into anime is from watching the Initial D series and ReLife. If I had never watched Initial D and ReLife, I probably would've never made a MAL account. I initially made a MAL account to just have a place to organize what I have and have not watched, didn't really care about reviewing stuff, I only started reviewing things because I thought other people's expectations were always too high or missed what I thought made some series special, or somewhat overrated, but I would assume that's what it is for most people. As you can (probably) tell by my interest in Initial D, I really like sports cars and customized vehicles. Uhh, I really don't know what else to say, are you a gangstalker trying to spy on me, why do you need this information?
Q: How do you drop anime?
A: If it's boring or too basic, I'll drop it. For new seasonal anime, I'm more lenient, but I'll still drop if it's mediocre or boring.
Q: Why so many dropped?
A: Mainly because for older anime, I start from lower MAL scores and drop if it's not enjoyable.
Q: Why do you write reviews? / Your review isn't great.
A: I write reviews because I find it somewhat enjoyable to create something that influences others' viewing experiences. If you disagree with any of my reviews, feel free to message me, but keep it respectful. Rude or dismissive comments won't lead to a productive conversation, and I'm likely to view them as trolling.
Q: What is the favorite review you have made?
A: My MF Ghost review by far. I took probably 3.5+ hours writing that review because of how angry I was watching the anime, fueling me to be as honest and critical as I am capable, even so far as cleaning up the review to have (probably) zero grammar & punctuation issues. This is because it throws away Initial D's soul, and makes MF Ghost a terrible successor to Initial D (They are a related series). Also, Initial D is probably my most re-watched favorite anime, that is probably good context for this as well.
Q: Most disliked popular anime?
A: I dislike the new Trigun: Stampede anime, not so much because I dislike the story (still not a huge fan), I just hate the way they adjusted the characters looks to be more post-modernistic instead of keeping the original character designs and updating them slightly.
I would also include MF Ghost in this too, since I am an Initial D enjoyer, and I dislike what has been done to make the series to make it more unrealistic and simplified to get people more into it. My review goes into all the issues with that if you want to read it.
Q: Why a tank (PanzerIV-J) username & profile picture?
A: I like to main German 4.3BR in War Thunder, so I was inspired to make my username after something I play from time to time. I just think tanks are cool, so that's why I made my profile a tank.
Wifus are kinda stupid/overrated, like, are you really going to ship yourself with a drawing or animation? Seems kinda weird to me.
You really read all that? You must be ridiculously bored...
These rankings change quite often and are not really "set in stone" (This is from me watching anime and adding it into these rankings or because I retroactively changed my opinion on an anime's rank), I made different rankings for different purposes, feel free to look through them and tell me your thoughts!
These Rankings Were Last Changed On: May 15th, 2024.
This is stuff I have been looking forward to watching.
1. Spice and Wolf (2024 Remake)
2. An Archdemon's Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride.
3. Unnamed Memory
4. Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 2 Part 2

10. Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again
Note: I rank according to enjoyment, so my rating ≠ my enjoyment. .5s are honorable extras (HE), including extras, movies, similar shows, or mini ~5-minute per episode anime, all will be marked accordingly.
