My name is Lorenzo and I'm a teenager who has always had a love for animation. My nickname came to me when I remembered I read about squares that look round in the book Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I got introduced to anime by my cousin who was a big fan of Animax when it aired in my country during which he told me to give it a try. I saw about two anime shows which I found alright. Before that I just knew about Dragonball Z. One year ago I really got into it after I saw Future Diary and Hajime no Ippo. Now I am a casual fan with emphasis on casual, that is why my total entries will be +-100. I have only seen a handful but I already have great respect for the medium. I have a few shows that I a plan to watch, but not for a while. I joined this site to see if I could interact with interesting people. All I can talk about during a conversation is mostly movies, cartoons and anime, so I hope that I will always have something to talk about here and maybe to improve my writing skills with reviews.

...But alas, I am not sure. I wish you luck, Mr President and hope you are not allergic to bad jokes.
Are you here to fix everything?
Of course, Tiger and Bunny are about as superhero as you can get.
Oh, and as you explore, I think you'll find that the superhero genre defined here in the west is still present in Anime. Dragon Ball Z, Darker Than Black, Bleach, that one ninja show- a few common examples. Magical Girls (lol) are basically superheroines.
It's like comparing food, once you spot the differences, you'll spot the similarities all the faster :)
Oh, and Welcome to the NHK is one of my all-time favorite shows. Hope you enjoyed it!
Cheers!
And yeah, glad to see there are more people out there who feel the same way. The endings are usually the parts I focus on in an anime. I like to gauge the way it connects it to the beginning.
I also appreciate the no spoilers thing. Although if you have any anime to recommend, it'll be very much appreciated. Thanks again.
A guide I wrote some time ago.
That's not what I meant. It's the same thing as writing a review for Time Magazine versus writing a review for the school newspaper, or texting your parents versus texting your best friend. Different people respond to different things. It's not kissing ass, it's knowing when to say certain things and talk a certain way in different situations.
But I'm not trying to say your reviews are bad or anything. Just trying to give you some tips based on what I've seen of popular MAL reviews. I'm obviously not an expert, so I could be wrong. :)
It sucks, but that's life. I would look at some of the "top" reviewers, such as Archaeon and roriconfan, to get an idea of how to write for the MAL audience. You have to tailor your writing to suit different people if you're looking for praise. Otherwise, keep writing what you want and you might not necessarily get "helpful" clicks, but at least you'll be true to yourself and whatnot.
And, welcome to MAL!
