Got started with anime with the classics on cartoon network/toonami like DBZ, Sailor Moon, FMA, and so on back in Middle School in the 2000s.

Saw Death Note and FMA in high school, enjoyed them but wasn't able to pirate anything so I was limited to what I could catch on TV.

Slowly started adding more anime to my completed list in my first few years of college, mostly shounen and widely regarded shows or things I'd seen on Toonami/adult swim previously such as: Code Geass, Eureka Seven, Bleach, Naruto, Fate/Zero, Attack on Titan.

Around 2014 I really started branching out and watching more, after I graduated (university) I started seeing more anime than other western media in any form and haven't looked back... Though I still follow some tv series and catch movies I''m interested in of course. GOT, House of Cards, Alone, Taboo, Westworld, The Handmaids Tale are all favorites.

I come from a sociology background and my personal philosophy is heavily influenced by transhumanism. I look for shows full of ambition, and content dealing with classical themes, societal trends, ethical dilemmas, and moments and experiences which define humanity. The more anime I watch the more I appreciate uniquness as an inherent part of quality and I've been working through increasingly niche anime over time.

I also really enjoy anime as an artform and shows which heavily influence or forge meta in the industry, comment on tropes, or subvert our ideas about what we expect from anime.

Thankfully, I'm easy as shit to please and I enjoy 95 percent of what I watch, chances are whatever you'd suggest for me is something I'd get to at some later point in time on my own. I've never truly dropped a series, I intend to finish everything I start... at some point.

Long story short, I'm a sociology nerd and also a nurse who likes anime that makes a point, surprises me, has artistic merit, or is simply enjoyable to watch.
