Hello, and welcome to my page!☆ My name's Destiny, and my very first anime was probably Pokemon, back in the nineties (followed by Sailor Moon, My Neighbor Totoro, and bits of anime like Dragon Ball Z and Speed Racer), but I consider my true first anime to be InuYasha in 2006, since it was the first anime I'd watched knowing that it was anime. Naruto, Fruits Basket, Bleach, FullMetal Alchemist, Slayers, Spiral, Death Note, Wolf's Rain, Azumanga Daioh, and Miyazaki films followed, and I realized how much I enjoyed the medium ♥ I also eased into manga in 2007, with Rave Master, followed closely by Rurouni Kenshin, Fruits Basket, and DNAngel. My collection has since grown to be over 600 volumes, somehow. Anime recommendations are welcome here! I enjoy all demographics of shows, and I LOVE psychological thrillers, mysteries, and comedies. I am also open to subs or dubs, as I really don't have a preference on principle or anything. (There are good dubs and bad dubs out there!) It's also worth mentioning that I'm a completionist, meaning that I finish any show that I start, and then do my best to hunt down the rest of the franchise and watch it too! Even the most minor installments--pretty much, if it has an entry here on MAL and it's related to something I've seen, I'm trying to find it and watch it too. So if you happen to see anything missing from my list and it's obscure, please feel free to DM me with info on how to find it. I don't torrent, but if there are other means, I'm always happy to flesh out my list more! Additionally, if there's something obscure on my list that you're looking for, please DM me and I'll do my best to remember/find where I watched it before. As for manga, I generally do not read any online, aside from short and unpublished titles, such as one-shots and webcomics. Every single full length manga I have under my manga list, I own a physical copy of (in tankobon format) or have borrowed. I personally dislike fan translations of manga, due to their differing interpretations and incompleteness, and I also consider my purchasing of manga to be my most significant contribution to the industry (along with licensed merch). I will not be filling out the "plan to watch" section much, but I do fill out the "plan to read" if I own the manga, because I will definitely read it at some point if I own it! I tend to rate my anime based on personal preference alone, so my ratings are highly subjective. Sometimes a show's visuals or acting or even specific characters can raise a rating for me, but my ratings generally stem from my personal overall impression of the show, primarily rooted in its cast of characters, story and originality, storytelling and pacing, story direction, etc. A very simplified version of my anime rating system is as follows - 8-10: I really enjoyed this show. 7: This is really my average. It may be a bit generic or just okay to me, but I still enjoyed it! 5-6: This show was maybe a bit TOO generic or boring to me or maybe I just personally didn't like it much. 1-4: Something about this show probably either pissed me off and made the show as a whole notably bad to me or I found it just came together to be unenjoyable or bad. **Some of my early anime do not reflect this rating very well. I go back and edit some when I notice, but there may still be some older anime rated inordinately high on my list, based on this system. I always write a quick opinion for each anime/manga under the "comment" section. Sometimes it will be a longer review, and sometimes it will be shorter. Typically, if I watched the anime before I got an account on here, it will be shorter. Additionally, as I get busier with my life, I tend to write less lengthy and/or thought-out comments for each entry. But I'm happy to further discuss any of the series I've seen! It's also maybe worth mentioning is that I majored in East Asian Languages and Cultures with a Japanese concentration, meaning that I completed my school's Japanese language program, proved well-versed in Japanese culture, and also studied East Asia in general; my other major was psychology, I also minored in political science, and then I went on to graduate from law school and become a licensed attorney! I'm currently working on maintaining and polishing my skills in Japanese, since I haven't been in a classroom with it since 2014. Anime is a great (and of course fun) way to help with that, even when it has subtitles! :) My adult life and career are really just getting rolling now and I can become quite busy at times, but anime is still very important to me, as it is a very flexible medium that can showcase the work of very brilliant and creative minds. Of course, we get some duds mixed in there, but finding an anime that really speaks to you on some level---that's a very exhilarating feeling. My hope is that I never get so caught up in my obligations and other facets of my life that I entirely forsake this art form that has provided me so much happiness throughout my youth.
