Hello everyone! Thank you for checking out my profile, I hope you stay and chat or simply watch from the sidelines if that's all you want!
My first real experience with anime was the summer of 2013 when I became interested in it after finding a thread on a forum site. The first one I tried to watch was Fairy Tail, and after only a few episodes I was too weirded out to continue.
Later on in December I came across the same forum again, and decided to give anime a second chance. I got a list of recommend ones from the people of the thread, joined mal, rewatched Fairy Tail, and completely fell in love with anime as a whole.
Nowadays I'm trying to watch some of the more well-known anime to get on top of things and know what everyone is talking about. If you have any suggestions for series then let me know! I'm open to just about anything expect for: yaoi, yuri, horror (in general), and anything rated R+ or Rx.
So, go out there and enjoy anime!

Links to my tumblr and fanfiction are down below! Check 'em out if that sounds interesting to you. Feel free to message me on tumblr, I love meeting new friends there :)
Instead of listing all the shows I've completed so far for a year like I have been, I'm just going to be listing what I like watching the most and least of once a month. Maybe I'll have a top ten at the end, who knows.
Rating Stuff
How I rate stuff on mal is a mixture on how technically good they are and how much I personally enjoyed it. Sometimes enjoyment makes me rate an anime higher then I would normally just looking at the technical side of things. Although if flaws are REALLY big I try to take them into account so my enjoyment balances out a bit.
When I score an anime a 1-5 I consider it a "bad" anime, one that I would not watch again or recommend. A 5 would be a tolerable kind of badness while a 1 would be a "burn all copies of this" badness.
Anime I rate a 10 I tend to like all on the same level. Sure, some I like a bit more then others, but on a whole it would be hard to say I like one of them largely over the others. Not all of my favorites get a 10 just because I try to note if they have actually problems that go beyond a personal liking, so I do tend to like a lot of anime but not necessarily give them 10’s because of that. A lot of my fav’s now fall under the 8-9 range, with a series really having to go above and beyond for me to give it a 10.
Now we get into my usual scores, 6-9. Most anime I tend to rate in this general area since it's hard for me to finish an anime that would fall into the 1-5 category.
6- Fine, ok. I enjoyed this series, but felt like it could have been much more than what it turned out to be. These either have large problems within them or had a mediocre tone throughout several parts.
Ex. Selector Infected WIXOSS
7- Good. A series that I enjoyed and would possibly watch again if I ever have time. The general pacing and flow is considered good and it usually isn't plagued with many, if any, large problems.
Ex. Love Lab, My Little Monster, Snow White with Red Hair
8- Great. A series that I can confidently say that I very much enjoyed, generally rid of any extremely noticeable flaws like some of the lower rated series might.
Ex. Katanagatari, Humanity has Declined, Ore Monogatari
9- Amazing - A series that I enjoyed immensely and that either had one or two things that held it back or just wasn’t the absolute best thing for me.
Ex. Summer Wars, Little Witch Academia, Haikyuu!
Hey all, if you by chance read the little blurbs I do once a month on what anime I've been watching, would you be so kind as to comment about it this month? I'm curious as to how many people actually read this and maybe, if you could, tell me why?
October 2018
I'm unsure whether or not I'll be updating this very regularly now that college has really kicked my butt into full gear. Expect once in a while updates when I feel like I have enough to say on all of this shows.
Misc
Netflix has been releasing a lot of good anime/cartoons recently. If you haven't already, please check out Dragon Pilot/Dragon Prince and PLEASE watch Hilda.
Right now I'm just watching two shows. Fairy Tail 2018 and Skull-faced bookseller Honda-san. I've been anticipating but also very nervous about the latest season of FT, since the last arc of the manga is probably the very worst long arc in the series. So far, however, it's been very nice! The colors are back, the animation is lively despite its obvious limitation, and I feel that the early stuff still captures the original FT feel. I know that by the end I'll probably be zoning out of a lot of it, but for what it's worth its something to look forward to at the end of the day on Saturday and definitely a breezy watch.
Honda-san is a shorts series that I did not expect to enjoy so much but I do. Immensely. I love the aesthetic of giving all the employers different masks/odd heads and I love the commentary on working at a bookstore. You can tell that despite the hassle the person really does love working there, and it's certainly one of the funniest shows I've seen in general in a while. It's not very long so if the premise is even a little interesting to you check it out!
Eh, being mentally effed can apparently do that to ya...
I get nervous when it's only about my cat for that matter lmao don't want to do sth wrong ^^'
I suppose, piercings should definitely be of your own accord and not during a teen phase... it's a scientific fact people are the dumbest during that time^^' but just earings Ig I'm happy with having ever since I was a kid, seriously just always had them now when I think about it o.o
Do you have discord by any chance?
Hahah arigatou, it's still 4 hours left *from where I am at least* ^^
And gomenasai, it got real bad over here with my head, hope it'll get back to who I was with my birthday really, I've so had enough of tears and nausea and everything...
Literally !! I don't even know how do they manage, I mean the nail is so chibi o.o
I am actually kiiinda grateful for that? Idk, I just wear earings daily, silver round ones and I'm totally used to it because I've had it since forever... but I'd never get to do it intentionally tbh x.x it being like this, I don't even remember the actual thing lel ^^'
Gosh, I'm so exhausted from everything... literally the second I touched the bed like 30 minutes ago everything in em died x_x
I'll have only a day smhh, but hey it's my birthday so will make good use of it I hope~
Oh you don't have to tell me anything... my 4 yo niece wears nail polish, just why, she barely has nails
I tell you, parents and the media do that, or well most of the society lel, sad truth
I already live for the winter break... or any for that matter, such is the case with next Friday ~
Well it's when girls get baka and put too much or for example don't remove and wash it off before going to bed... Happened once in gosh darn elementary school, now that girl was a real bakayaro... enjoyed all the attention even right after the ambulance drove her back to the camp we were in *just facepalm
Is how usually ends up being when you actually focus I'd say, that's kinda why I like working with people I kinda know at least, because otherwise I won't be sure whether it's a "working fully concentrated" silence or the awkward one lel
I know, I know gomenasai, I'm just so curious ^^' it can kill a neko you know :s
Definitely, and I LUW it !!!
I'll make sure I do, you'll just have to forgive me for not doing it straight away since the university has struck finally along with my birthday planning and all social things going on...hontoni gomenasai!!
Hope you can end up doing so, literally love to read and watch what people can create ^^
Oh that, I can understand aye, there was this one girl wearing lenses and I remember she once had an issue and almost got an infection even because fo too much makeup *but she really overdid it almost every time... not saying you wear lenses or not, just a throwback that popped in ma mind, gomen >.<"
Some things cane be done better with the help of others for sure !! But tbh whenever I do something, it's so distracting if someone has a different way in mind ^^'
SPOILEEEERSSS !!! lmao :') I'm looking forward to next arcs that's for sure ~
Really loved the music and the feeling he gives off and teh voice, design and animation *all ^^'
Nuuu, never read any, nanai kore ???
Hope you'll have more time after graduating, it's a nice way to fill time while looking for a job
Going home is actually planned quite rarely ^^' it just happens when you don't feel like staying I suppose~
Oii, what is that supposed to mean even?? Not wearing makeup is perfectly fine tbh, I just like how eyeliner looks like and overall eye makeup with high lashes and such, but I leave out most of the facial stuff :)
I really need to organize my time better literally... but things that just pop out of nowhere are making me lose even that ounce of planning I might've had lel ^^'
So relatable if it helps, moral support your way sis~ I'm already staying up just for homework smh...
That's a shame, but hope the villain got more focus then tbh, I loved everything about him (kinda minus that "shallow" reasoning scene regarding his looks)
Now hold up a minute fam !! You go and write 'em rather than read them because they're gonna be awesome~ *and send the 1st copies right here, don't be a stranger now ^u^
Desho!! It murders you and you're out of it the next day 100%, just makes me think if it's worth it, same like with makeup since that's such a pain in the a$$ when you get home at 5 am dead tired and just want to wwe land on your bed.....
Konbanwa~
Gomenasaii for drifting there, was outgoing over the weekend, went to bed around or after 5 am 2 days in a row, literally dk about hitting uni tomorrow, am so dead...
Desho!! It's so amazing when that happens, usually end up in hours of conversations afterwards ^^'
She has kinda affirmed her role I would say, demo for a character like herself not to have more screen time is a waste quite frankly...have you read the manga, I don't remember? Maybe she was given more attention there?
Gosh same...the homework just keeps piling UP I'll drown x_x
I mean hitting clubs and cinema and going out ain't helping...but still, if I'm locked inside, it ain't gonna be pretty ^^'
The title cracked me a bit tho, I didn't know it was THAT big to be fair ~
I suppose, but books lend you more freedom and when you talk to somebody whose image of a character for instance is similar to yours is just "woah sugoi, me too" and it's the best me too there is *one of ^^'
Looking forward t it then for sure
Well you kinda like the fact she resisted the effects right off the bat, then the fighting adds up, but definitely could've been more put into there to convey her personality more
Luckily, I have no spare time lmao ^^'
Hoping to enjoy it yeah! But I'll definitely try not to "pre-read" the rest of the story, really miss being super hyped about that anime...
I'm definitely watching it so that's god to hear tbh, getting quite hyped about watching that one as of late
Speaking of manga, have you seen this title lmao
I don't find it hard, on the contrary kinda like having it all in my mind ^^' but love graphic novels and manga as well don't get me wrong there~
It was rushed on the emotional side for me, Idk just felt the story ought to have been stronger on that ledge *might just be my emotional state being in turmoil atm
Desho!! I totally agree on that note about Nezuko, saw her being my fave female character for sure, but Shinobu started climbing more and more, of course her design is breathtaking in certain scenes, but also started to like the character since she's really humane with all flaws and virtues
I guessed it would be done by now, might dig into it once I get the chance, but then again dk if I'd be more hyped about S4 if I didn't know what will go down *as was the case with S3 ^^'
I hope it just doesn't feel rushed, cos Kimetsu no Yaiba had that in some occasions and honestly, I'm the one to appreciate the moment and b engulfed in it fully so not a fancy of mine there... but both of those mangas are still ongoing if I got it right, no?
I'm watching when I'm not sleeping tbh ^^'
Books I can't read because my focus both vision and concentration wise are terrible...and books I wish to be in 100% :3
I'll most definitely be watching the film, but they did rush it in the anime there's no denying that
Can see certain explanations, but still would be better imo if the main character wasn't a typical shounen~
Might be, I started the next arc but since it only had a few chapters at the time wanted to stop before some bad-ass cliffhanger which would destroy me lmao ^^'
How many chapters does that even cover than? I'd guess like half tops
Honestly I'm so tired of sitting x_x and I have a headache already from just staring at screens day in day out, so can't wait to start being a part of the world again lmao
Really is, but I'm just missing that humane emotional part in it, the story is so powerful so to me it's a proper shame not to feel it fully :c
I don't actually know everything coming up! But BnHA I haven't even seen s3, read it all the way until the end of s4 I'd say since it covers the Overhaul arc I assume so will join you on that one for sure (after I see s3)
Yep, so literally there is "legal language", economical, for geodesy etc etc and if one is to translate those, they would need to learn it first
Of Dr.Stone? How long is it btw, think the anime is only halfway through by now
Aye, I kinda got sick so not much to do while drinking tea in bed ^^'
Will have to stop watching so much starting Monday tho~
Btw planning to see the Joker film next week, soooo hyped for it !!! *-*
Arigatou!! As soon as I saw that scene I just though "oh please let me find a gif of it for the design" lel :'3
Literally loved watching that anime for all the color matching and the music
It's just about the fact that every profession has its own terms and phrases which outside of the context either convey no meaning or an incorrect one, for instance terms in psychology are at times combinations of words whose individual meanings a person might very well know and based on that he comes to understand the scientific term by combining the 2 meanings, while the actual meaning of the term may be something completely different
So by taking up a scientific book in a certain field of expertise basically means taking up a whole new vocabulary, it has no relation to the conversational language
I'll definitely wait for Dr.Stone to finish airing and then watch, since I can't take cliffhangers >.<"
Am very much looking forward to Violet Evergarden tho~
It was quite good, might be my current state of mind that affected my enthusiasm, but also have a few thoughts on it so think I might do an overview on that one ^^
But definitely among the better series I've seen, I like the dark atmosphere and animation for sure
