Report Startracker's Profile

Well, until I make some graphical 'about me' page, and I doubt I ever will be bothered to do it, here's a few drops of rain to clear the shadow of myself...

First off, I'm not a mecha fan, as perhaps my scores might indicate - those anime works are rated highly because of their storyline, emotions and characters, and I couldn't care less if there were tanks, dragons, horses or even no rides at all in them.

Secondly, I'll always rather choose the original work over the adaptation - if there's a Visual novel made into anime, I'll chase it first, for example, even though I really like Key/Visual Arts, and love Clannad anime, I'm not going to watch Kanon, Air, or whatever else they adapt until I've finished the novels. Same goes for light novels and manga, except light novels are kinda hard to obtain compared to manga. The anime works I enjoyed the most are mostly original works of their own - not adaptations, like Macross, Gundam Seed, Code Geass and some others.

Thirdly, I just love romance. I refuse to watch anything without at least a bit of romance in it - so don't recommend me some super power action shonen, since that's not even close to what I like. I like drama, romance and emotional things. I don't like horrors, nor sad endings. At most, endings should be bittersweet. I enjoy war dramas, military and stuff like that, but I'm not even a bit interested if there are no emotions in it.

Fourthly, I'm very *very* picky. I'm not the kind of person (unlike many I know) which will watch an anime just because it's an anime. I'll read at least three high quality reviews, and have many recommendations to even decide to watch something. Of course, if you say romance with nice character design, I'll consider it maybe with only a single review or none. (^_^)

And finally, I'm always open to discussion and meeting others who would be interested. So, leave a comment if you like, I won't bite (^_^)

Some facts:

Favourite genres: Romance, Drama, Sci-fi, Fantasy, Contemporary fantasy
Favourite male seiyuu: Fukuyama Jun and Tomokazu Sugita
Favourite female seiyuu: Sakamoto Maaya and Tanaka Rie
Favourite composers: Uematsu Nobuo (Final Fantasy), Kanno Yoko (Macross Plus/F, Escaflowne, Wolf's Rain, Ghost in a Shell) and Maeda Jun (Key's visual novels (Clannad, Kanon, Air etc.))

I like ecchi and adult ecchi, but not hentai. Adult ecchi can really make me laugh, and if it has it's emotional moments, it's great. (many visual novels are like that)

I'm not a fan of classics. I like modern stuff. Latest stuff. Modern visuals, latest ideas, cutting edge animation. That doesn't mean I won't watch something if it's good, but I'd rather not stay in the past for too long. I enjoy the modern wave of character design, the whole thing about bishonen and bishojo characters, and I don't really care if some 'veterans' frown upon it.

Well, that's about it, had to fill up this lonely empty space with something. Sorry if it isn't a fancy graphics display, but hells, haven't touched Photoshop since 7.0 and CS (^_^)
