I started watching anime not labelled Pokemon/Yugioh at around 2012 to 2014 (P.S. still not sure when exactly), and I have been pretty much nonstop for the most part ever since.
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 :P
Also, MyAnimelist, why? Why no let us add more than 10-20 entries for our Favorites lists?
“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".
I didn't expect it to go into my favorites. I am just fond of coming of age stories. What a great build-up for the final movie. In a sense, it's similar to Aria.
I am currently writing a review to compile my thoughts on this series. Rarely do we get photography as the main element in anime. (Except for Flag)
I already thought of a good opening quote. Tamayura does a great job emphasizing the importance of photographs. They capture a moment that’s gone for eternally, impossible to reproduce. It becomes a memory.
I don't think I've asked this yet but what are your favorite arcs of MT? Because I think I'm in the camp that likes the slow/coziness of Volumes 8-10/11.
No offense taken but Im not asking about a light novel, Im simply asking a question about a specific element presented/introduced within the manga/story.
And also questioning you is the same as asking a qestion which means that I am questioning you.
Im not asking about the arc, Im not asking about what the intention was and Im not asking what the end goal was.
All im simply asking is if you liked it, if things could've been handled differently or if you're okay with whatever concept was presented in whichever way it was presented.
No you're right I'm personally not reading Frieren right now but I also dont typically update my manga list either (if that's what you used to gauge that).
However, I do manage a few wikia pages and I end up reading spoilers all the time in various media and this time I ended up on Frieren's wikia because I was curious about the spell her clone used on Fern. I then ended up reading multiple spoilers and then eventually I made it to the Goddess statue etc.
Then someone explained to me what happened with the time traveling stuff and now Im asking your opinion on it I'm asking people's opinions on the matter.
Also if you're wondering what wikia I manage I am the admin of shows such as Majin Bone, Kawai Dorm, Akuma no Riddle, If her Flag breaks and D-Frag. I used to edit other pages too but I shifted all my attention on my pages since all my other admins went awol.
such an unorthodox system would be pretty odd without any rationale behind it, after all. And yeah, attachment is fickle, emotions irrational, and perhaps that's the greatest part of engaging with art. Its wholly separate from 'quality' or any objective or logical standards; something that others love can be mediocre for you, and something that others hate can become truly special. Therein lies the beauty and value in one's experiences with it.
it is the fate of all lists to have some dogshit opinions. Ultimately, I don't really care about either, and as it says in my rubric(?), I am not with my ratings attempting to assess the quality, just organizing them relative to my attachment to them. Regardless of their quality, which as art, cannot be objectively measured anyways, my opinion towards them is effectively the same, thusly they will be scored as such. I do think Frieren is better, but it be like that
thought i responded but i seemingly didnt. sorry. I mean, people already failed to understand my previous rating system, and eventually I grew to understand how redundant rating for other people is. The numbers really shouldn't matter, only the sentiment, so the current scale is just an organizational method for me, primarily. As for Demon Slayer, idk. I just enjoyed that particular season of it. Mildly. Don't really hold it in high regard but it was good action and it appeased the ape mind.
Seems like people will never let you watch anime in peace. I was wondering if there would ever be an anime that would pass up VE for you. I'm glad you enjoyed Frieren, I gotta get back to watching it.

Do you have any issues with it, maybe some things couldve been handled differently or do you think that it's fine?
