但求无悔一世真饮血的冰刃隐藏过伤痕无需谁首肯赴鸿门入局破阵！

List of clean-ups: 2023 May 20, 2023 May 21, 2023 Sep 25. I've significantly tamed down this profile since its inception, but at the cost of being less personal. For archived versions that are much more messier and funnier, see this page in an internet archive.

Congrats, you have just increased the number of this internet profile's views by one.
Greetings, this profile exists but the individual behind it may or may not exist. What is... nevermind.

List of some favorite episodes (list not complete; in order of watching): Detective Conan episode 11; Serial Experiments Lain episode 1; Ergo Proxy episode 20; Revolutionary Girl Utena episode 6; Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG episode 2, 11; Mousou Dairinin episode 3; Monster episode 29; Boogiepop Phantom episodes 5, 6, 11; Mousou Dairinin episode 8; Death Note episode 7; Ba Ma Laizi Er Ciyuan episode 11; Fei Ren Zai episode 96; Sonny Boy episode 12; Humanity Has Declined episodes 1, 2; Beryl and Sapphire episodes 1, 11, 13, 57; Zankyou no Terror episode 1; Han Hua Ri Ji season 3 episodes 1, 4; Si Wu Xie episode 10; Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran episode 13; Zhongguo Qi Tan episodes 1, 2; Code Geass episodes 22, 23, 50; Revolutionary Girl Utena episode 33 (feels wrong to call this a "favorite"); Sabagebu episode 5; Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt episode 5; Fate/Zero episode 16; Ai no Idenshi episode 8; NieA Under 7 episode 4.

Favorite characters in a nutshell (updated 2023 Sep 25):

Comments on selected shows (updated 2023 May 20):

2nd GIG: Some unanswered questions get answered on subsequent viewings, so that's nice. Plenty of issues besides it, though. The Individual Eleven is forgettable; it should have been a group with its own agency. The relationship between Motoko and Kuze, aside from that paper crane episode, is still too brief. Kuze's motives are also muddy, so his POV is not entirely relatable. This means he remains 'distant' from the viewer's perspective throughout, and whatever ends up happening to him doesn't have that much of an impact. But overall the geopolitics and scheming of different groups is spot-on, and its use of an overarching plot instead of standalone episodes (unlike the first season) is respectable.
Lain show: A ___ who forgoes her potential for what makes humans human. Nice and weird visuals. The conspiracy theory part is pretty bad though. Guess you can't have everything.
Boogiepop (2000): A very small story. Probably best to watch it on 2x speed or something.
Monster: Despite some repetitiveness and arguably contrived moments as well as imbalances in the storytelling mechanic, the overall plot is solid and the ending is interesting. Some minor details (e.g., a couple of cinematographic techniques) really shine through. Finally, the story's realistic setting is really something to admire.
La maison en petits cubes: I don't find any flaws with it, but I wouldn't rate it perfect because of how short it is.
Han hua ri ji: XD
TGCF: yay..... (later.....) nooo
Fei Ren Zai: Dare you to stop watching halfway through. Got that?
Wojiadashixiongnaozichaoyoubing: hehehe
Daomu Biji Zhi Ri Ni Niang: Might have to revisit. Nice unsettling plot twist though.
Si Wuxie: The webseries version have better animation.
CSM: In general, I don't consider OPs and EDs in their evaluation of shows, and this goes for this one. Although in this case I do want to salute those contracted animators who worked on the OPs and EDs for their hard work and passion.
Nomad: Sakuma and the big evil corporation part feels flat, and (until now) I completely forgot there's someone called Mac, which probably shows how boring the character is. The first arc is definitely much more memorable.
ACCA: Why so many cakes?

Favorite openings and endings (plus other OST) possibly in some order:

Thanks. I've had the GIF up there for a while, just as something to look at. I knew it was from one of the Conan films, though I haven't seen anything from the franchise myself.

WeFeed Jul 28, 11:20 AM

oh no then but thanks for offering

WeFeed Jul 27, 2:11 PM

where did you watch fog hill ep 1?

ZNoteTaku Jun 29, 11:28 AM

Wow, thank you! I'm glad that you liked it!

Recynon Jun 1, 7:56 PM

Hmm, good to know, good to know.

Recynon Jun 1, 11:30 AM

For me I thought a lot of the humor was cringey, and the fact that I couldn't relate to being an otaku/hikki probably contributed to that. So while I do relate somewhat to being afraid to go out and do stuff, it's not to the extreme degree portrayed in the show. My main issue tho, is that I didn't like the fact that Misato showed up on his front door and what seems like codependency that develops between her and the MC. I say seems like because I only know it from reading ahead, as I dropped it early on. Do you feel like those were issues?

Recynon May 31, 6:35 PM

Yeah I definitely wouldn't knock your way of looking at it. A lot of it comes down to whether or not you're immersed in its atmosphere. It wasn't enough for me, personally, (perhaps it would've been different if more music was used to pair with the visuals) as I would've liked more happening and more dialogue. Hence the highlight of the movie for me was the dialogue talking about the alternative version of Noah's ark.

Also, what are your thoughts on Welcome to the NHK?

Recynon May 19, 5:41 PM

Yeah Utena isn't the easiest thing to watch so 2x speed is not a bad idea. Its structure is what lends it a lot of its thematic significance and at the same time makes it grueling to get through.

It's such a technical, dry exercise in interpreting literary devices, probably the most extreme example of this in the medium. Trying to analyze this show feels like sitting in English class. It is fascinating to try to puzzle it together, and at the same time, it does lead to over analysis. What makes it worthwhile to me is its craziness on top of all of it. But looking back, they could've told these stories in a more straightforward way that would not only be more informative concerning its themes but also more engaging. And to this day I don't think anyone knows for sure what it really means. I had to look stuff up to piece it together and from what I've seen, you kind of need to be in a feminist state of mind to get a lot of it.

Perfect Blue had a direction and point to it, whereas Millennium Actress felt repetitive after a while, so it makes sense that you found the latter boring. I don't think you're missing out on anything.

How are you liking this craziness so far?

elnino02 May 17, 12:14 PM

Np, cheers!

elnino02 May 17, 7:31 AM

I like looking at profiles and stuff, especially the more interesting ones. And thanks, I appreciate that!

I've taken the liberty of sending you an FR, hope you don't mind :)

elnino02 May 15, 8:17 AM

Thanks for dropping by! And yeah, SAC 2nd GIG is honestly incredible.

I really like your profile, it's pretty funny. Your list looks great too. And you're quite the poet :)

Boogiepop is, on paper, right up my alley. I love Ryuutarou Nakamura and I absolutely adore Hiroshi Hamasaki. But for some reason I just couldn't get through episodes without losing my concentration. I don't remember anything about it apart from that Nagi was cool and that black vignette lol.

I should rewatch it and give it a fair shake, or at least read the light novels.

> For me, I feel like I could've rated it literally any score (maybe except 9 and 10 lol)

That's interesting. Currently, when I watch something and I dig it, I at least think "oh it's 6+". But "any score", damn.

sheaswee May 14, 1:09 AM

I'm curious how you put Boogiepop on your favourites yet you can't rate it?

It's always been one of those anime I've really wanted to like but can't.

sheaswee May 14, 1:05 AM

For sure. It's good to see it getting further recognition.

I'm finding time for my rewatch.
