Report Rockafellor's Profile

My first name is Charles, but most people just call me "Rock".

I'm from Brooklyn (NY, USA), currently living in Arkansas (retired USAF). I'm a math and physics geek by nature, and love RPGs (particularly D&D [0e through 3.x/D20, but not 4/5e], and pretty much anything from Palladium; WH40K fascinates me though I played only briefly, years ago). I've taken several martial arts, and self-studied a handful more.

Normally, when I re-watch an anime, I re-watch the whole series. In 2020-ish, I joined a friend in a series of watch parties. This was One Piece, and he'd been at ep 350 and we watched through 381. Looking to update MAL, it seems that I can't mark specific ep.s as re-watched, only the whole series or not at all. Maybe I'm missing something obvious, or it's do-able but not obvious, or it simply isn't a function here. Until I find a fix for this, my data will be incomplete here. 😞

MAL... I love its flexibility, but it refuses to list a lot of manhwa and a metric shit-ton of mànhuà (don't know about aeni or dònghuà), so I'm seriously thinking that I should look into one of the less-pretty sites (anilist.co, anime-planet.com, kitsu.io, since I'm on all of those and just don't use them; MangaUpdates.com, since it seems to have a personal tracking capability) simply to see if they're any more comprehensive.

If you wish to know where I read, check my manga lists (I never thought of dropping the streaming URLs in, but they tend to move around, so probably no point outside of my offline spreadsheert); many entries include one URL or another (though MangaDex won't zoom for shit, it's database is big enough for good look-up purposes; Manganato's gone to hell since having to move though, so ComicK seems the best bet currently).

BTW, Baka-Updates is usually pretty useful for finding a manga's translation status, alternative titles, etc.:

I'm still trying to work out the Anime Index (I saw it recommended in a subreddit, possibly r/manga, but don't remember the context):

For a quick rundown on your anime statistics, check MALgraph (probably not a bad idea, since it might surprise you — it surprised me).

-- A few years ago, I analyzed their chart of my anime ratings, and normalized the results from raw scores to the ratings' scale of 1-10, and here's where my tastes stand apparently:

I have quite a few pieces of fanfic and original [fannish] fiction (romcoms, zombies, dice-RPG, sci-fi and fantasy, milfic, etc.) transcribed to AO3, if you're a reader:

Interested in my waifu taste, or would just like to list yours in a convenient spot? Then spin by MWL (My Waifu List) and take a look. Just remember that Ruru (Musaigen no Phantom World / Myriad colors phantom world) is _my_ babe, so hands off! 😉 (To be clear: joke; I don't 'ship myself with Fictional Others.)

By the way: decent anime identifying app & website (though Google Lens outstrips it, these days):

And just for quick reference:

https://mangadex.org is a decent starting point for is direct links to MAL (though if you're not logged in on 'Dex, then any pornographic works are filtered out by default, and you need to use Google site search via {[title] site:https://mangadex.org});

https://chapmanganato.to was usually OK for reading (chapter can be viewed in one page), but they got a fair portion of shitty scanlations and unrelated manga suddenly linked in as the next chapter... site's dead now, but I haven't really used the replacement manganato.gg much yet to say how it compares;

https://comick.io/home2 (which also requires login for "adult" stuff), https://m.manganelo.com/wwww , https://mangakakalot.to/home (seems to have moved late Feb 2025 to https://mangakakalot.gg; cf. https://github.com/keiyoushi/extensions-source/issues/7754 for details and mirrors), https://kissmanga.in , and https://mangahasu.me seem like halfway decent back-ups (I have a few security programs on my tower; I don't know that these sites are safe in general, per se).

https://www.mangaread.org I haven't used since 2020/2021, so don't remember its pros and cons, but it's still up.
