I'm not sure what I'm doing. I think I took a wrong turn somewhere...
Welcome to my MAL profile! Feel free to poke around all you like, or drop a message!
I'm on AniList, and more active there: https://anilist.co/user/ZNote/
I also have a YouTube channel where I review anime and occasionally manga. Some of my content is right below:
My philosophy for reviews are to strike the proper balance between the technical workings of the show/film I am watching and the personal attachment element. In my understanding, the difference between a "review" and "criticism" is that a review is a personalized take on an aesthetic object, an evaluation based on your own aesthetic ideals and constructions. "Criticism" is largely rooted in the technical analysis of the object in question, or how that object relates to some other larger collective body as a whole (e.g. how a group of people respond to this thing, but not necessarily you).
As such, though I may delve into the technicalities of what a show/film may contain, these will be tipped in favor of my own personal reactions, with a presence of criticism if needed. I spend much time deciding on what numerical value to assign a show/film, weighing its technique with my feelings.
A disclaimer: if I start watching a show and it has less than 12-14 episodes, I WILL finish it. Shows that are longer have episode 12 as the cutoff point should I choose to stop.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! That show is a 42/10 and you're gonna write a nice review because everything has too be sunshine and fuckin unicorns! XD sorry I was just in a troll mood x)
No accept that. But can you like nawttt? You have some nerve. Writing a bad review about metallic Rouge. How dare you. You must have some fucking balls having a negative opinion on a show I've never seen before. I can't believe it. You're gonna remove that fuckin review. Can't believe you would say something I've never heard of is bad. It's unacceptable. So can you nawttt? It's bullshit!
No problem ^^
Yeah it would be cool to see more from the early KyoAni, not many have talked about Munto or Full Metal Panic. But I'll wait for whatever installments you're up to! :)
Thanks for your thoughtful reply! I like understanding opinions that are different from my own regardless of whether I agree or not which is why I enjoy reading reviews in the first place. I see! I haven't tried using AniList yet, although I've been curious for a while if it's any different from MAL. I appreciate the invitation! I'll definitely hit you up if anything comes to mind. Likewise, Feel free to do the same if you ever fancy a chat! :)
Hi there! Thank you for accepting my friend request! I came across your profile after reading your NieR: Automata anime review and I genuinely liked your writing style. Your thoughts on the anime resonated with mine. I noticed you had more reviews on your profile and decided to check them out of curiosity. I ended up liking some of them too and now, I look forward to reading more of your reviews!

I send you a friend request because your reviews were very well-written. Also your favs are very nice.
I'll check AniList out! Thanks for the heads up!
