No worries at all, nice chatting with you :)

New account syndrome lol. Just adding everything and everyone that looks interesting. Gotta make the profile feel alive somehow!

Other than that, I really enjoyed reading your review of The Eminence in Shadows. It was kinda how I felt, in a sophisticated manner.

I might be wrong, but I also thought we have a similar taste to some degree.

Thanks for accepting my fr (:

Your City: The Animation review is excellent, also you have good taste in anime :)

Lain/LotGH in favorites is always based but its nice you have more obscure stuff like riding bean in there too. Riding bean had very well animated car chase scenes.

Big fat W on your CITY The Animation review. Well written.
Side note: Banger Favorites. I'm gonna go watch Riding Bean now. (Kept that off for so long)

Amazing suzume review. thank you!

Among all the anime pfp on this site, yours stood out to me :)

Helloo!
I just like sending FRs to random people (～￣▽￣)～ and to my freinds' friends hehe ( ´_ゝ` )

Ty for accepting! I'll follow you back on AniList!

I am aware that you moved to AniList, I also have an anilist. However most of my friends are still on MAL. So i update here and there on Anilist, but it's fine.

I have your videos in the past, and I saw you had a mal. So i friended you.

Hey! I follow you on AniList and just came across one of your reviews on MAL and recognized the name so I figured I would give a FR. I enjoy reading your reviews.

Nice to meet you and no worries at all! I really
Need to join AniList too at some point when I can be bothered to move everything over..

I have since moved on from that format as well, it is good for beginners but it is easy to limit yourself when you have to stick to the format of "characters, sound etc." Personally, I try to adapt and admire a writing style that ties in one's insights with the anime at hand, such that the arguments presented aren't superfluous or broad, as well as appropriately responding to what the anime has to offer. After all, it is all about a conversation between the reader and the author [or whatever it may be in anime].

I completely agree that a lot of reviews are rambling pieces meant to flame those who dislike/ like the anime. It does not engage in the anime in any way and is insulting to what a review is meant to do. Reviews are not meant to win an argument- there is no argument to begin with, but rather to express yourself through your response to the text, as you said "a central theme or thought". I also dislike vague reviews that target "writing", "character development", buzz words that hold zero meaning if they are not elaborated upon. "Writing" could mean plot development, coherency, dialogue quality, nuance etc.

Writing well is hard. I have had enough of writing reviews on this site but I am still happy to share my thoughts through anime notes or through comments with like-minded individuals. I am open to writing more if something interesting comes along, and I will be happy to read more of yours too :).

P.S. I also like OG reviewers like Fleure who write more poetically. Its another writing style I wish to explore in the future

Your welcome! I just wanted to express how your reviews capture your thoughts and each anime series' strengths better than most anime reviews right now, which are sloppily written/ very brief many of a time.

I also appreciate how you keep the structure simple but layer a lot of nuance that makes them easy but meaningful to read. You also have great taste :)
