Report whither's Profile

For me, anime is just entertainment and should not be a chore to watch. I'll try pretty much anything, but I have no reservations about dropping shows at any point if I lose interest. One episode in, one episode from the end, doesn't matter.

Favourite things:
• Manipulative, ambitious, clever villains
• Machiavellian leaders / underdogs thirsting for power
• Tragic breakdowns / spiraling into insanity
• Intense, long-term, all-consuming rivalries
• Morally corrupt bishōnen... lovable himbos... sad, disheveled DILFs
• Well-executed fantasy / scifi world-building
• Wholesome found family shenanigans / chaotic ensemble casts
• Heists, espionage, and secret missions

Least favourite things:
• Damsels in distress (lack of agency) / useless heroes (angsty, indecisive, weak-willed)
• Fan service for the male gaze
• Lazy storytelling, deus ex machina, and poorly explained convoluted lore
• Heavy reliance on atmosphere, mood, or aesthetic while the story itself is weak
• School settings, school children, petty school drama
• Sickening "cuteness" overdose, lollis, and extremely high pitched voices
