Welcome Everyone!!
I Enjoy Anime here and there. There are plenty anime but no time to watch lol. One day I will clear my PLAN TO WATCH. Not much of a manga reader, but I'm trying.
You only age when you feel like you can't do anything
(I don't really accept random friend requests. I hope that I recognize you or we have talked first before you send a request)
Milestones:
1st Anime: One Punch Man
1st Anime Movie: Nausicaa Valley of the Wind
100th Anime: Violet Evergarden
200th Anime: Maquia: The Promised Flower Blooms
1st Waifu: Violet Evergarden - Violet Evergarden - even before I watched the show
Largest number of episodes watched in one sitting: 14 episodes - Death Note - on a rewatch with others
1st anime I hated: Mayo Chiki
100th Forum post - 27th of July, 2023
When rating, I take in consideration:
1. Themes
2. Story and Film elements
3. Characters
4. Plot
5. Enjoyment
6. My preferences
My preferences:
Like:
Romance, wholesome or cute animes. Animes with a lot of references and comedy are much welcome too. If an anime has an awesome OST that I like, I usually have it in high regard. I also look for anime that are unique compared to other animes in premise or other aspects. I also like animes that I can relate to or have motifs that I agree with. Plot driven and action anime I would give a watch and depending on other aspects, it will determine how much I like it, it's a plus if I think it's cool or interesting. I also enjoy a bit of "trash" here and there. Whatever the theme, premise, synopsis or genre, I may give an anime a watch to see if I like it or not. Except.....
Dislike:
Horror, Gore and Boys Love. I don't necessarily hate anime like these, but I won't prioritize them. I might still give them a watch. Also, I generally avoid anime rated below 6, unless its recommended to me.
Ratings:
10 - are like 9 but I feel are extraordinary in a way. Special.
9 - are anime that I felt really passionate about and/or are exceptional in one or several aspects. Not only do I recognize its qualities, but it may have had me emotionally invested as well. Amazing. Worth a rewatch.
8 - are anime like 7 but that are outstanding and/or I have a strong disposition to and had an impact on me. Might be prevented from being a 9 because of minor details. 8 and above I consider my favorites. Great. A recommendable watch.
7 - are anime I was drawn to in by one or several aspects and/or I found entertaining/interesting. Probably lacks something to prevent it to being a 8. This is the standard of any enjoyable anime. Good. Worth the watch.
6 - are anime that are not as engaging compared to other anime and/or I had a couple of issues with that prevents it from being 7. Held my attention. Decent. Wasn't a waste of time.
5 - are anime that are rather drab, has some issues and/or I found little enjoyment out of it. With a few things going for it. Pretty boring or the issues prevented it from being a 6. Mediocre. Could have used my time for something else.
4 - are anime that I found irritating and/or had a number of issues with it. Might have some things going for it, but even if so the flaws outweigh them. Bad. Waste of time.
3 - are anime that I found little value in and/or had major issues with it. Anything going for it is considered near negligible. Horrible. Why did I watch this?
2 - are anime that are near intolerable and/or repulsive. Irredeemable of any qualities. Hated it
1 - are like 2 but made me question my faith in humanity. No one should ever watch this atrocity. Existential Crisis

I love all of the Clannad OST. The OST is the main reason why I love it so much. You should definitely watch it, and if you do end up watching it, I would like to hear your thoughts about it! The reason for that is because I just like to hear peoples thoughts about Clannad.
My top 5 would be Clannad (obviously), Violet Evergarden, Bunny Girl Senpai, Non Non Biyori and Re:zero. If the OST is good, it's 100% going to be one of my favorite animes.
I don't really have a set way of how my favourites work; I just don't update them as frequently as other users, mostly because it's hard to pick and choose. ^_^" Girls Last Tour would definitely be on there if MAL allowed for more profile favourites, though.
Also, I couldn't help but notice Violet Evergarden in your favourites; definitely a good choice.
Yup, I love anime OST. Some of my favorites would be, Shining in the Sky, Roaring Tides, Youth's Pig Bastard, Nagisa - Warm Piano Arrange, Never Coming Back and both Sunny Road and Ren-chon and a Sunny Road. Most of them are Clannad OST because Clannad OST is the best OST I have ever heard.
You got any favorite OST's?
Sorry for the late reply but I hope you have an amazing day. :)
I can't really help with that, I never tried starting a business. Only my grandparents, and they are quite good at it ^^
Oh, okay, so Aria! I'll keep it in the back of my mind
Sure! So far I only showed it to 2 people, so you can join as third. ^^ I plan to continue working on it on Tuesday, I'll send a PM
Sorry for the late reply, 2 days till the deadline of my thesis. But I'm progressing well
Replying to your last message, I'm glad you did watch Death Note till the end eventually, because it's an amazing one fr. Same as you, I liked this tense psychological battle between Light and L, plot twists and everything. It was sooo impressive. And I also like the OST, the L's theme is my favorite from this anime. It's definitely one of the best classic anime.
As for video games, same as with anime, I haven't been an active player for a long time now, but I do want to come back to it. In general, I enjoy adventure and RPG games, puzzles, simulators, and some rhythmic ones, but I'm open to other genres too. And how about you? I'm a bit confused, you mean if you were to pick just one hobby, you would drop playing video games and keep watching anime? Or vice versa?
Btw, I did watch The Way of the Househusband since that time :D It's really funny! The animation leaves much to be desired, but the humor is amazing. I've only watched part 1, though, and still need to watch part 2. Now that I read you message, it was quite a reminder for me :) Also, I see you're watching Sakamoto Days atm, which has much in common with The Way of the Househusband. What do you think about it? I also wonder if you managed to watch NANA and Mashle since the last time we spoke?
Yes, same here, Princess Mononoke turned out to be a bit different from what I was expecting, it's more serious and mature than some other Ghibli movies, but it's an interesting watch for sure. It seemed a bit boring to me in the beginning, but, as the story progressed, I found myself immersed. I also want to rewatch it one day.
And how about now? Have you watched something in the meantime that really impressed you?
I not only accepted it, I finished just today! It was a nice place, everybody was kind and understanding. Now I have to submit the form about finishing it and probably hold a presentation I think? And the best thing is, they said that when I go for MSc I can go and work there during it, this time for an actual payment. It'd be nice!
Sorry, which SoL anime you meant? 😄 I tried to search back our conversation but couldn't find it.
No, I haven't. But I started a new one! An online web app for a MAL forum game! I started the game long ago and it relied on an online text editor service where you could anonymously share and edit text and spreadsheet files with others. It was a janky solution so no wonder people didn't enjoy using it. Now I try to replace this with my own solution and it's progressing well!
Thanks again for writing, I hope you are well!
I haven't gotten to Parts 2-4 yet but I am purposefully delaying because waiting 1.5-2.5 years for every movie through the 6 part movie is too much. I rather wait until Part 5 is released to then focus on watching 2-5 and the period of Part 6 would not that long in between. Felt the ending in Part 1 was abrupt (not that there was a good place to end a long match that has just started), but certainly made me aware that I do not want to witness that 4 more times.
Too bad the subs wasn't as it once was. I want to see the rest of Yukari explaining tank facts getting subs.
As a result, I have it on here

But thank you for the encouraging words and verses, they mean a lot to me! And it also means a lot that you say I'm important! Not saying this because I don't get enough love otherwise, but because I rarely get this in the online space
Not the art style, but the structure of the plot. Its characteristics. The tragedy, the deaths, the brutality, and the drama.
But if we speak of art styles, I'm sceptical about anime with alternative art styles. They scream that "I'm not like the rest. I'm unique! I'm morally deep! I'm better!" But I know this from other media and it usually translates to "I'll show you reality, my reality, so you'll see that it sucks. Enjoy! Or rather, don't enjoy."
Okay, so simply follow the airing order, I'll note that!
Yes, I study programming (both writing and designing programs), and I chose this for two reasons.
First, because quite simply this was the thing that interested me the most.
The second one is much sillier: I always wanted to write a game, but I knew I'm not diligent and persistent enough to learn how to do it right, so I thought, if I go to university, they'll surely give me the tools to make it reality! And I was mostly right, I learnt object oriented programming, and this semester I finally had my chance to take on my long wanted game development course! Most people signed up just because it was worth a ton of credits, but I really attended most of the classes and now I know how to do it right! I guess I'll have to start over my whole project now that I see how terrible it is, haha.
Back to the original topic, where I study they don't offer a specialization in BSc, that's what MSc is for. In short, BSc is where you learn all the basics* you will need, so to say. It gives you enough knowledge to get a decent job. But if you take on MSc, the "real university level" education, you'll be able to get much higher level jobs. And it's also about prestige :)
*Naturally, it's not that simple, and there are two other options (below BSc) you can take: vocational training and higher education vocational training. The first one is instead of normal high school, my brother chose this route and it's actually a pretty good option, especially that you can still take university afterwards and you start with a huge advantage. The second one is something I don't know much about, but it's probably similar, except that it's less thorough and more intense, because you also start to do real work during your studies to gain experience.
It's a dilemma for me to decide when to watch dark shows. If I watch them when I'm happy, I'll ruin my happiness. But if I watch it when I'm feeling down, it'll make it even worse. It's best to take the middle road.
Yeah, it's scary how good AI can copy things. Now it can make everything: images, voices, texts, music, even animations! But it wouldn't be the end of the world except that anybody can use these! I always said that every good thing is only good until it becomes widely available
Thanks! I got this set from viraat_pirate, but as it turned out I'm using it the wrong way. ^^' It's a forum set, not a profile set, and it's actually a signature. I didn't think of this because I keep the signatures hidden. The only forum I was part of before MAL didn't have signatures so I don't find them nostalgic, I see them as visual clutter, especially when the answers are very short and the page has 99% pictures and 1% text. Maybe in the future I'll make my own profile set and use this as a sig, who knows.
Yes, the potential questions corner was a funny idea that was part of my profile already, but I didn't call it a corner. My plan is to replace it with a house blueprint with clickable rooms, or just four button images on a 2x2 grid, and it'll take the visitor to MAL blog pages with the texts. It's not my idea, but it'd be cool.
thanks so much for the well wishes and let’s definitely discuss anime more in 2025! so glad you had a great year!! :D
