I started watching anime not labelled Pokemon/Yugioh at around 2012, though it could've been much, much earlier than that, as I've since forgotten when exactly this has started. I have been pretty much been watching practically nonstop ever since. As of recently, I've been more into visual novels, too, though.
I used to write seasonal reviews, but with the most recent changes for the system, I've since erased all my old ones, and I probably won’t write another one ever again unless I feel the unbearably strong need to discuss a particular series.
Btw, feel free to talk to me. I’ll accept any friend request, but it’d be nice to talk about a few things every now and then, as I don’t usually initiate a conversation. Of course, be respectful and considerate about my opinions possibly differing from yours.
Yes, I know my ratings are pretty darn weird and harsh, but it is what it is. I'm very critical and jaded with most things in life in general, tbf. I won't bother explaining because it's too complicated. Additionally, I almost never rate hentai entries or most specials that don’t exceed 5-10 minutes of runtime.
NOTE: My favorites lists may also include video game and/or VN entries and characters.
Also, MyAnimelist, why? Why no let us add more than 10-20 entries for our Favorites lists?
“So you’re giving up before you’ve even gone to pursue him. It’s only been a mere ten years. If you don’t go now, you’ll regret it shortly. When that time comes, you may think, ‘I could’ve made it in time, and yet I…’. You must be wondering, ‘Why now, after all this time?’, correct? That’s because I’m talking about the story that unfolds for you now.”

“I was the last one left back then, and that’s how it’s always been till now. That’s why I have to take them with me. I’ll take everyone who fought and died alongside me to my final destination.”
-Shinei Nouzen
“A person can only murder another once. The act of murder is giving up the humanity that is within oneself. What is left is just emptiness. You can not lose humanity if it is already lost. The act of murder turns into the act of slaughter. They are two different things.”
-Ryougi Shiki
“People have very complex and sensitive emotions. Not everyone can express how they truly feel. They end up contradicting themselves or lying.”
-Violet Evergarden
"No matter what kind of song it is, I'd like to capture it the best I can. If I didn't, I feel that it would be rude to not only the song, but to the people who listen to me sing."
-Chihaya Kisaragi
"Do you value your life? Do you think that your family and friends are important to you? If they are, then you should never think of changing yourself. Otherwise, you will lose everything that is precious to you."
-Homura Akemi
"You fought to the end. You survived. That's why you're here now. I think that's something you should be more proud of."
-Vladilena Milizé
BTW, I have a YouTube reaction channel. Feel free to follow and subscribe if you like, please!
P.S. These are not my own videos, but I found them very helpful and well thought out in terms of analysis on some of my favorites.
OCCUPATION: Self-employed seasonal anime gem finder. I aspire to find at least one or two really good shows from recent seasons, regardless of the doubts in the current state of the anime medium by a bunch of pessimists on this site I know too well.
KEEP IN MIND that it doesn't mean I give generous scores that easily and that often. There are series I still enjoy a lot but still rate very low due to flaws I can't ignore or aspects I highly dislike. My mean score is pretty damn low mainly due to rating certain OVAs, specials, or some other shows that never saw the greenlight for high production value, as well as having seen a majority of, if not all, of what the anime medium has had to offer. I’m admittedly critical to a fault, but I genuinely endeavor to have fun with even bad shows, which means I still love this medium of fiction. Additionally, I’m one who’s easily jaded with anything nowadays, including non-anime media.
My Favorites in terms of anime need two or more of these qualifications:
1. At least have a score of 9 or 10 by me.
2. Attained at least above average in terms of enjoyment levels.
3. Have at least one or two prominent characters I really like or love.
-Sincerely,
Your friendly neighborhood “unconventional elitist".
