Gonna be semi-inactive for a month or so. Will fix my lame-ass bio eventually.
19 year old, dumdum college student studying for computer engineering. My hobbies include playing video games, playing guitar, music and of course, watching anime and movies, reading manga and sometimes, novels. I don't really start a conversation and I'm kind of a "hard to approach" person. That doesn't mean I'm too shy or insecure about social interactions.
Even though mal says I joined on June 2019, I've been lurking here since early 2016, back when I discovered what anime was. My first show I watched as an anime was Death note damn who would've thought which was recommended by my irl school friend (I do have irl friends). The reason I hadn't created an account back then is because: (a) I hadn't seen shit and had no taste whatsoever, and (b) I didn't feel like making one since it seemed pointless to make a list for 5-6 shows. It was until this year that I realized I do need to make an account too keep track of the shows I'd watched and that I have finally acquired some sort of taste about what makes a show good or shit.
The reason why I haven't seen that many shows or read that many manga is because for mediums like these two, I like to watch/read in peace and alone in a room to fully enjoy the experience, which is rarer to happen than me listening to "The Wall" album on a non-premium spotify account without any ad breaks. And as much as I love animation and this whole medium, I have other interests as well.
I accept almost all of friend requests, as long as you have some watched shows on your list and your list isn't restricted,in which case you'd have to talk to me first to verify that you're indeed a human being, kappa. So feel free to private message me for:
-my EPIC face reveal
-link to my other mal account where I rate hantei stuff (it doesn't exist as of now, but I will make one in the future)
-any normal conversation related to any of the topics except politics or that kind of stuff
Also, I'm one of the rare users who would actually not mind seeing one of my favorite shows being rated low as fuck by some other user. If anything, that's the best part about this website, me comparing my shit taste to other's shit taste and seeing whose is better and worse.
*insert a sentence for pardoning my bad english since it's not my native language I don't even fucking know if "pardoning" is a word lmao*
Just look at my username, kappa.
1=Its existence is a curse to mankind and a reason as to why we can't have nice things
2=Garbage, I absolutely hate it but it did have a few redeeming quirks that saved itelf from getting a 1
3=Bad, I would gladly consider it as shit
4=Not bad/terrible, but I did dislike it quite a bit
5=Mediocre/disappointing, I neither like it or dislike it
6=Nothing out of the ordinary, I liked it and it was somewhat memorable whether for nostalgia or otherwise
7=Something I would consider as good, and was pretty enjoyable throughout its running
8=I loved it. Love is a big claim btw
9=Just amazing, I adore this shit
10=Its existence is a definitive reason for why I give 2 shits about this medium in the first place. It doesn't have to be flawless or a masterpiece, it's just something that had a huge impact on me and something I'll probably never forget for years to come
I never seek for perfection in any form of storytelling since there will always be a room for improvement. So a 10/10 show isn't something unreachable in my case, in fact all of the shows/manga I've given a 10/10 have flaws and even if I'm aware of that fact, I could overlook it. That's pretty much the only difference between a 10 and a 9 rating from me because I might not be able to overlook them in my 9/10s.
As for "masterpeice" shows, if they are what they get called by majority of users, then it must be ,at least, a good show, means I'd probably loved it, means I would give it an 8 or above. Everybody wins!
Also, I have a .5 rating system which you'll see in my list's tags and I use it when I can't seem to give an absolute integer rating to a show. Like, Steins;Gate is an 8.5/10 but Beck is a 7.5/10 for me, yet both have scored 8 in general. So, anything above 5.5 is a pass in my book!
Here's a simpler representation of how my ratings work in general and I go with my gut feeling at the moment I'm rating it and give the show the integer rating I feel it deserves, which might change if get to rewatch that said show:
8.5-10: One of my favourites 7-8: Was a good/great show that I would still recommend.(most of them anyway) 5.5-6.5: It was enjoyable to say the least. I liked it but I may not recommend it. 3.5-5: Meh, couldn't care less if I had never seen it. Didn't deserve all the time I've spent watching it. 0.5-3: I wish I had never bothered watching this shit.
Oh heeey yup it's them!
It's one of their newer songs, I highly recommend 8
TBH, I didn't liked it before, but it rapidly grew on me the more I listened to it
I loved the lyrics as well
I'm not actually a die hard fan but I did went to two of their concerts here in our place! And I was really ecstatic with both of them
Something about how Brandon and the band performs makes you really appreciate them
Also, if you have something to share as well please do not hesitate as I am quite fond of exchanges similar to this one c:
Look at you so bright
State of the art
You're new, you're young, your blissful ignorance
It's everything they like, but the years have teeth
And sometimes they bite
His 70s era were truly unprecedented, someone who can pump out good-to-great albums (minus Pin Ups) with great live performances as well, Space Oddity Live 1974 is definitely better than the studio version, more slow and operatic than the rock classic. Heroes on the 1977 Top of Pop performance showed his better saccharine voice, even people who aren't convinced he can't sing, show them that.
Indeed, he is the most handsome man for me, and to a great person and father to boot according to many other people like Eno and Trent. He is incredibly self-aware and his humor is cracking, this crack me up how self-aware he and his humor shows;
Interesting, so the days when I was ubiquitous on MAL managed to exude even non-users. I really wonder how big I was back then, because I was asked on discord "How are you everywhere" quite bashingly consistent. I don't really think I'm harsh, score are numbers, I can give you positives even on the far-out 3 scored anime, I'm a dedicated harem reconnoiter, despite what it may look, but you can see that evidently in my forum set. I scour around light novels, web novels, visual novels among other things, and I'm proud of it.
Yeah, he was a great actor too, really showed screen presence, dominates every scene he was in. Bowie said he just grabbed the first outfit on his wardrobe on that, and boy it was great bulge action.
Oh you mean recommendations for 70s and 80s stuff? I will keep it in mind, not sure if you can relate, but those things always occur to me on a whim. So when the moment comes I will be sure to let you know!
Oh no I meant the pillows, but David Bowie is fine too. I love Starman ^_^
That's a pretty agreeable list of some favourite the pillows songs. From those I love black sheep best. And yeah that is one hell of a good live performance. Wish I could see them live, that would be so cool.
Haha I am happy to meet someone else who genuinely loves the pillows as a band. All 22 albums? You are the real deal! Actually I was really surprised to see 'sayonara universe' on your profile. I only rediscovered it recently and it started my pillows listening spree. They are kinda the japanese Neutral milk hotel in my eyes. Do you have a favourite song?
I'm really glad someone checks them out! Though to be fair, my usual picks won't be as obscure. I'm just going for the spooky halloween vibe here and these are the only spooky southern gothic tracks I know lol
