Anime List Manga List

Hey there! I'm just another otaku/gamer.

I've been into anime since I was in 5th grade back in the late 90s, around 25 years. ouch... Unbelievable how time flies! I started with the Toonami block of the time on U.S. TV. Back when it was hosted by the CG Moltar from Space Ghost, lol! I really got into Dragon Ball Z, Sailor Moon, and Robotech/Macross particularly which is still one of my favorite series.

Anyway, I just watched those anime on TV at first, but I soon noticed Anime ads in my gaming magazines. (I've always been a big gamer, more on that later) The first one that really caught my eye was Sakura Wars. I saw the ad and I was like, you mean there's cartoons like this not on TV? lol, We were all newbs once. I saved some allowance and went out to buy my first anime on VHS at Suncoast (a store I loved back then), Volume 1 of Sakura Wars. It was 25-30 bucks for a 2 episode tape. Today you get a regular length TV series on dvd for that price, Crazy how much things change.

So I loved that first tape! ADV films always had these awesome previews for other titles at the start of their tapes. Many of them became my early anime. Sorcerer Hunters, Dirty Pair Flash, Legend of Crystania, Gunsmith Cats, and Debutante Detective Corps among others. The early days were good fun... and I still love finding and watching older stuff from the 80s and 90s!

Anime took a backseat to my gaming til about 2005 when I started working, building up a collection, and watching fansubs. Around then I had started considering myself an otaku. lol. I kinda peaked when following shows by season from 2009-2016 but in recent years I've toned down only checking out some titles here and there. I was also into figures and conventions a good 10-12 years but I think I've mostly retired from those now and settled into being a moderate anime fan again.

So I still love videogames too. Favorite genres are JRPGs (especially tactical) and Puzzles. I also like most anime-styled games in general and 2D sh'mups.

Some of my favorite game series are Phantasy Star, Ys, Fire Emblem, "Tales of", Mega Man, and pretty much any by Nippon Ichi. La Pucelle Tactics, Disgaea, etc!

A few others, Puyo Pop, Tetris, Gradius I also like the old Mario and Sonic games. (The newer ones, not as much)

You can also find me on anidb and Backlog.
I love these database/collection sites!

I'm an avid Steam user as well.

How I vote...

10 - Amazing! Among my absolute favorites!
9 - Awesome! Always a pleasure to watch but they weren't quite as special as the 10s
8 - Great! Perhaps a few minor issues but still really enjoyed them.
7 - Solid, Entertaining enough. Wouldn't consider these a waste of time at all.
6 - Mediocre, I have issues with them but they may of had their moments or good points, or shows that start off enjoyable but got progressively more boring or worse as they went.
5 - Meh, These end up feeling like a waste of time but they weren't completely terrible.
4 - Awful. If these are longer then 3-4 episodes I probably dropped them.
3 - These are just really really bad. I rarely vote anything this low.
2 - An insult to me as a viewer. I find it hard to believe these titles exist.
1 - I've yet to discover anything so terrible I'd find it worth voting a 1, except maybe characters I absolutely hate.

Any show rated 4 or below was probably not worth watching for me so I rarely use those numbers. I'm generally pretty good at picking shows I think I'll enjoy to some degree. I also tend to watch mostly shows in my taste range too. Only try a few here and there outside of it to keep my horizons a bit broadened.

When making votes, I'll also consider the length of shows as well... Short episode types, commercials and music videos get that consideration. In the end I'll mostly base my votes on enjoyment value. Many shorts are too short (lol) to be very memorable so they rarely get higher then an 8 but I tend to enjoy em' anyway and still watch a bunch....

Thanks for reading!

I think it was implied he had a kiddie crush on a classmate earlier on in the game when he and Lloyd were wandering around the mountain before they met the old lady so him having a crush on Presea feels like another one of those moment, it's not terribly uncommon with kids

I hope maybe one day there's a local one but for now maybe online play one day? Assuming I get new stuff eventually

HienFan Jan 21, 2016 5:28 AM

Played the game, it was fun if a bit hard(partly because I picked Suguri to start out with)

HienFan Jan 20, 2016 7:24 PM

He was surprised I didn't like it, I believe it was one of those kiddie crushes that kids tend to have on Genis' part, not sure on Presea.

Now I'm downloading the file, I set up my info together with an avatar, is there a way to play with other people together with online friends? I might consider playing it with my mother

HienFan Jan 20, 2016 8:07 AM

I'll check it out tomorrow to get into the community and maybe as my mother about the fee for greenlighting as I want to upload my own games one day

Ahh yeah Legendia's lack of 2P was really noticeable, Phantasia for the SNES also lacked that(plus you can only be Cless)

But I will say that some of his arguments of characters sound exactly like what he criticized many Yaoi fangirls off complaining for it's really noticeable I don't think he ever notice he is pretty similar to those people he can't stand also he did get into Tales of Symphonia, he was really shocked I didn't care for Genis/Presea but I'll be honest just the basic ideas in any coupling does not mean I will like it all the time I only hope he does not go into a level a certain Pokemon dub troll went into(blackmailing the current voice actors... seriously... he kept trying to guilt trip me even though I said I like Ash's current voice)

HienFan Jan 20, 2016 5:43 AM

Maybe it's just me but some of his criticism seems more like from something from someone very used to Shonen, I actually written the first of the three part intro of one of my original work not sure of showing it just yet but it was something about the protagonist parents not letting them really free roam and them being unable to fight in a fantasy world at that point his thought of werewolf appearing is exaggerated but you know how Shonen is...

HienFan Jan 20, 2016 5:34 AM

I try to but I feel very defenseless everytime I listed something to prove my point and he acts like I specifically picked them so he cannot argue(and also in one topic talked against Asuna from Sword Art Online when she got kidnap in Alfheim if I dare suggest she is a strong mother type...) but those are the best I can think of that are actual mothers

Red/Blue is primitive but there's something about it that I like, I think it's the nolstagia factor but many older games have attracted to me very well, I still adore Abalaburn, Strider, Cyberbots, Star Ocean, Tales of Eternia, Ore no Ryouri, Bomberman Fantasy Race and most SNK fighters after all these years(and other than Ore no Ryouri and Fantasy Race I have played all of these for ten years now!)

The artist that did the trading card and manga is a woman but I noticed how older Pokemon manga have a cute bubbly look over the edgier bug eyed look of the later ones it also happened with Pokemon Special.

http://jb2448.info/How_I_Became_a_Pokemon_Card this is where I found it

Pokemon Reburst is nothing to your interest, it certainly wasn't mine it felt very unPokemon and generic Shonen

Tales of Symphonia's art direction is gorgeous, I think of the 3D titles this is the best, Legendia has a great story but the gameplay is pretty average, Abyss is good if kinda hard and very dark, Vesperia is decent except the villains are mostly very poor(more like most Final Fantasy villains! DOCTOR HOJO AND SEPHIROTH I'M LOOKING AT YOU), have not played anything since then and probably not for a long time as I got a Japanese 3DS which is suppose to arrive tomorrow so I can't get another console for a couple of years

So how am I able to set up my community profile anyway? I'll just say that I don't have the second part of Legend of Heroes Trail of the Sky, the other Ys titles other than 6 and 100% Orange juice

HienFan Jan 20, 2016 4:35 AM

Also I dunno whether you'll touch anything Pokemon again but I wanted to suggest one manga that was made in the older generation day called How I became a Pokemon card, not every chapter is translated but it's a slice of life manga about kids befriending Pokemon

HienFan Jan 20, 2016 4:05 AM

Tried talking to Mighty again, he said he has pretty severe autism before but when I talked to him about it, I'm not sure if he'll remember what I said and will go on like the way he is, it's not healthy to keep arguing with people every time they disagree with you, it's actually affecting me as well or for that note keep trying to have ideas that involves going against things you hate will not make things better but I don't think he listens to what I said like one of the time he was complaining all anime females are not genuinely strong which I greatly disagree

HienFan Jan 19, 2016 9:02 PM

Also recording Tales of Symphonia for the Gamecube, it's better than PS2 version because of the higher frame rate(and being translated it's easier to play it with other people) going for a Genis be my best bud route I'm on the point at the port village training to deal with the first bonus boss and look up guides in how to raise Genis' friendship

HienFan Jan 19, 2016 5:27 PM

Might need to log on again though but sure but my username is not the same as the one in here because it's public for my family to see but for most of the game my record time is still not very long

He's on Skype trying to work on that Pokemon fanfic and a dragon type game on RPG Maker and we do tend to get into fight when I disagree unfortunately he seems to really hate a lot of recent mainstream anime but I got some good discussions at times

Ahaha... I heard a friend of mine who said what you said about dropping Pokemon in the early 2000s, some of the newer designs are kinda strange and the later generations had it's problems 4 was slow on the initial Diamond/Pearl while five seems to try to focus on story over gameplay resulting that you never be able to play any of the older Pokemon until you complete the game that was just urg as many new mon had too overly complex designs, the older Pokemon had mostly simple designs that are very effective

HienFan Jan 19, 2016 7:38 AM

I bought two of the Falcom games on Steam on a sale(Legend of Heroes Trail of Sky and Ys 6)
But also I wanted to mention Mighty from Bomberman Board has a Pokemon fanfic don't think it's your type however but wanted to send this to you https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10715952/1/Truth-and-Ideals
We tended to get into a lot of arguments though, if you seen his posts he seems very americanized and heavily towards Shonen up to his logic which tended to have heavily unrealistic answers with everyone must be badass mindset, something I have been seeing less of these days

HienFan Jan 19, 2016 7:18 AM

So maanny months of absence and a few anime completed
Also I might redraw my comic to put in more detail but I'll send it over when I advance the story it might take a long time though

HienFan Nov 23, 2015 7:01 AM

Surprised that your rating for My Neighbour Totoro is so low considering it's the film with Ghibli's mascot

HienFan Oct 29, 2015 7:31 AM

Watched a movie, I will say that I prefer Giovanni Island a lot more than Letter to Momo, the latter I find was kinda juvenile until the end

HienFan Oct 24, 2015 8:04 AM

Which is cool for Shirobako as most other stuff involving discussion about animation skips this while keeping the other ideas

Yeah that ocean themed setting is lovely, (somewhat) better than Glasslip and Shirobako more normal looking settings(though the Cafe Kotonoha representation in Glasslip is beautiful)

Meanwhile on other stuff I'm involved in sewing and trying to make original works, I'm still trying to work on that fan comic but I doubt you'll get anymore files in several months
