Introduction:(A fairly long one) Thrice upon a time, there was a student who loved anime. He doesn't stand out much in school and is mediocre in academics and sports. That's me. I first watched anime when I was around 8-10 years old. Mostly shows like Death Note , Spirited Away , Grave of the Fireflies and Gundam Build Fighters . Gundam Build Fighters is what got me into model kit building.
Fast forward to 2020 during Covid-19 was when I started to pick up anime again. At that time I didn't watch much (about 1-2 series every few months). It wasn't then until the second half of 2021 that I got serious into anime, manga and light novels. Then I made a MyAnimeList account to keep a record of the anime I watched, read a person's opinion on a particular show and maybe even talk about it. Anime and manga play an important role in my life, it greatly influenced me and made me who I am now. It brought me joy, sadness, laughter and any other emotions you can think of, some helped me through tough times and some even let me escape from reality.
Introduction II:(The short one)
Hi there nice to meet you, I love anime and let's be friends! ヾ( ̄▽ ̄)
Scoring and preferences:
I don't really have favorites for anime and manga but I do have shows that I absolutely love and hate. Keep in mind that I watch anime purely for entertainment. I am in no way a critique or a reviewer. My scoring can be quite confusing because it is irregular and I don't recommend you dive deep into it but one of the most important factors that affect my scoring is of course, enjoyability.
Despite what I said, here's a reference: Re:Zero is overrated
Oh, you're still here? Well thanks for reading my story or "Monogatari" (I just like this word). Feel free to send me a friend request and I hope we can get along! (~ ̄▽ ̄)~
One day I will watch every show on my ever-growing plan to watch list.
My pacing may not be fast but I'm making progress. Current goal is to finish 1000 anime.
Thanks for visiting!
More stuff about me if you want something to read
Numbers 10: The show itself is perfect, I loved it and it means a lot to me. Normally I don't outright give shows (anime only) a 10, I give it a 9 at first then "promote" it to a 10 after some time. 9: Shows with minor flaws and are very enjoyable. It means I really liked it. 8: My most common score for shows that I am satisfied with but there is room for improvement. 7-6: The show can be boring at times. But not bad enough that I stop watching it. 5 and lower: These are the scores I give to dropped shows and shows that I really not like.
Extra:
For some reason, when you tell me to write an academic essay, I always struggle to start, continue then finish. Writing is definitely not my strong suit. Yet I am able to come up with many things to write about here. With some not so often bad grammar. It has always alluded me.
Nowadays I try my best to avoid dropping shows, even if they are boring or bad. I tend to speedrun shows like this by tapping the 5 second skip button to get the gist of it. It eventually turns to consuming instead of enjoying.
Sometimes I get stuck choosing a score that I wish MAL has decimal scores.
I despise people who casually drop spoilers randomly without warning. Why do guys like that exist?
Occasionally I watch and binge a show for pure escapism but I still listen to my man Anno's message to touch grass.
Some of the shows I watch make me have a little existential crisis and feel empty afterwards. But to me, that is the high of anime that I long for. Two of the examples are: Tamako Market and Love Story.
The chances of finding an anime where I can get fully immersed in and get jealous of the mc's love life is getting lesser and lesser as I watch more. I hope to never run out of shows like that.
Up until now I've never read much manga, mostly because I am waiting for it to be completed. (Cries in Hunter x Hunter) Other reasons include constant scrolling the mouse is a pain. (I know, ridiculous considering what ways I use to read it.)
Can't keep track of them.
Never really kept track of it but
400th anime completed: Kiss x Sis
500th anime completed: Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (Initial goal)
Also check out my blog if you want more to read, it's like a longer "note" I wrote to myself.
Thanks for the love man, you're right, it's great to see someone else use the blog posts like that, I honestly wish that they were more utilized on this platform.
Thanks a lot for the KonoSuba recommendation. I had it (somewhere at the back) of my plan to watch, but with the recomendation I started watching it and really enjoying the feats of the panty-thief and his disfunctional band of adventurers.
Definitly going to watch all that is already released so far, many thanks!
Ah, I see. Well I hope you do really well in your exams and receive your deserved free time soon. I just got released from school last week or so, so I have a lot of free time on my hands to do things all of a sudden.
OOOOH! Are you also a JoJo fan? I really liked the first part of the anime adaptation of JJBA part 6: Stone Ocean but since I started the anime already I am gonna try stick to it even though I am tempted to read the manga haha. I assume it gets better, but damn I love Jolyne. Probably one of my favourite JoJo main character's simply because of her development from the start of the anime to the way she had turned out up until now. If you have seen any other JoJo parts which are some of your favourites? and which characters do u like most?
Ah Even now I still have a few seasonal anime from Spring I still haven't finished since I got pretty busy around the middle of the season there were some anime I couldn't watch which I had to catch up on. Kaguya sama season 3 and Spy x family were my personal favourites but I really loved this season of Komi as well.

And that's true about momo 😏🌚
I don’t want to catch up because it’s been such a great read, stinks that new chapters come out monthly
