Report Aphelion's Profile

I've been an anime fan since 2007. I mostly watch slice of life comedies and action-adventure series. Though I do branch out into other genres like horror, mystery, romance, and drama. I watch whatever happens to catch my eye. I prefer watching series with English dubs.

For anyone interested, a score of 7 is considered average to me. I judge the anime and manga that I watch and read based mainly on overall personal enjoyment. With a few exceptions. Here's a quick breakdown of the way I score:

10 - Found the series to be a masterpiece of its genre. Would highly recommend the series to non fans and critics alike.

9 - Found the series to be an excellent representation of its genre. Could revisit on a regular basis. Would recommend the series to anyone.

8 - Found the series to be above average, but not quite a masterpiece. Could revisit on a limited basis. Would recommend the series to other fans, and on rare occasions to non fans.

7 - My average rating. Found the series enjoyable, but not mind blowing so. Could revisit on rare occasions. Would only recommend the series to other fans.

6 - Found the series to be below average, but far from terrible. Enjoyed it, but found the series to be noticeably lacking in areas. Mostly forgettable. Not likely to revisit. Would only recommend the series to other fans on a limited basis.

5 - Found the series severely lacking in overall enjoyment. Dragging in places. Found it difficult to finish. Forgettable. But it still wasn't what I would consider to be terrible, as I didn't drop it. Wouldn't revisit. Probably wouldn't recommend.

I wouldn't waste my time with anything that I might score below this. If I do drop a series, I ignore it completely and move on. I also have zero interest in watching a series that flat out doesn't interest me, or is objectively terrible. Meaning they've been met with overwhelmingly negative fan reviews.



I've been a pro wrestling fan since 1993. Grew up watching WCW, while occasionally watching WWE. I do still follow WWE, and have since 2001, but now I only watch PPV's. I gave up watching televised wrestling a while ago. I used to follow Indy and foreign wrestling pretty closely too, but not so much anymore. Instead I love researching wrestling history, and watching old matches and promos. I consider myself to be a historian of the sport and performance art.

For any wrestling fans passing by, there are more of you on MAL than I realized, here's who I consider to be the top 10 greatest to ever lace up a pair of boots. List is based on drawing power and appeal, longevity at the top of the card, and overall impact on the industry.









I also have a deep love of heavy metal, including death metal, black metal, thrash metal, and folk metal. I also like listening to trance techno. Primarily prog-trance and uplifting trance. I grew up listening to grunge, alternative, classic, and hard rock.
