Your Friendly Neighborhood False Shepherd
Welcome to my profile! I'm False Shepherd, a bonafide VN Supremacist. I suppose i'm your typical anime fan in a lot of ways, though in the past couple years, i've found myself becoming more and more entrenched into the wild world of other mediums like VNs, LNs, and manga. so i guess you could say anime's taken a backseat lately! Fret not, i still watch stuff every now and then, but i've slowed down a ton since when i started out.
I'm pretty obsessive over formulating a strong, solid roster of Favorite series. i can be pretty OCD about organizing/sorting things, so i find myself ranking stuff all the time. My favorite type of series/story is really just something that has a certain.... fascination factor, i suppose? A series that just has a depth to its narrative i can lose myself in.
My current definitive top 3 are Monogatari, Muv-Luv, and (most recently) Mushoku Tensei. you'll rarely see someone quite as obsessed with these three series than me! I've pretty much thought about Monogatari and Muv-Luv nearly every day since the day i finished them for the first time. and Mushoku Tensei ain't much different. All three are series i deeply resonated with emotionally, and they carry a special meaning in my heart. i feel pretty inspired by the journeys of the main characters, and how they grow to become better as people. i suppose that sort of thing is a pretty common trait of a lot of series i love.
Another fave of mine, a sort of honorable mention to this top 3, would be the mindbending and horrific, yet beautiful Subrashiki Hibi. a really maddening, touching, and fascinating psychological tale about a "girl who is the world itself" and a young man struggling with his "Discontinuous Existence". Think of Subahibi as the 4th member of my top 3!
Btw! If it seems as though i don't give too many low ratings, it's generally because I'm not going to be able to finish something if I think it's that bad, and I usually just avoid shows that don't seem like they'd appeal to me.
My first anime was Future Diary, which is often considered the edgiest anime in existence. I find it hilarious the something as dumb as Future Diary is what it took for me to take anime seriously, and not treat it like children's cartoons.

Yamada-kun being quite decently popular these days,
& atleast they still have Overlord,
& the incoming Sousou no Frieren which im actually excited for!!!
But for Shaft...
Man!!!
One of my favorite studios to end up like it is now...
ITS SAD TO SAY THE LEAST!!!
Not even a Madoka spinoff & ripoff could save them!!!
Madhouse & Shaft were in the same position around 2019!!!
& yet Madhouse is actually giving effort despite the obvious fall off!!!
I hope A1 would not end up like Shaft before 86 season 3 is announced!!!
This is why animes for VN exists!!!
Coz people dont have much time in their hands!!!
NO!!!
As a Homura fan,
^^As if my profile pic & my love for Kurumi is not proof enough,
Ive been waiting for 4 years for the Rebellion sequel!!!
Unfortunately,
I think Shaft has fallen off quite hard after Zoku!!!
Eversince Zoku,
They never made any good anime at all!!!
& this comes from a Homura fan even if they made a lot of PMMM these last 2 years!!!
I think most of the staff behind Monogatari & the OG Madoka left after Zoku!!!
Here we go again with the VN route for people who have a lot of time in their hands!!!
Shirou lacks a personality in that route!!!
Probably because there is a lack of monologues or the thoughts he has in situations!!!
Whereas in Sakura's,
He doesnt gave a shit about being selfless & having ideals!!!
HE WAS SELFISH AF!!!
Dang it!!!
I havent even read Volume 7 of 86 this week!!!
Heck,
I havent even finished a single anime for 2 weeks now!!!
One Piece is just there because i havent updated my dropped list for a long time!!!
My attention was focused more on playing Yugioh Master Duel in my free time because the deck im currently using(Dragonmaids) is at its strongest ever since its release & by next month,
Im afraid that some of the cards i used for my maids will not be available because Konami will ban them!!!
Im kinda bummed out that A-1 didnt announce a 3rd season for 86 considering its actually one of the best anime they made in the last 2 years!!!
& to make it worse, they didnt even adapt the 1st chapter of volume 4 which is literally the next chapter after the ending of the 2nd season!!!
^^& THAT CHAPTER IS EASILY ONE OF MY FAVORITE CHAPTERS IN THE LN!!!
Goddangit A1!!!
STOP WITH ALL OF THESE OTHER POINTLESS NOT SO POPULAR SHOWS & GIVE US 86 PART 3!!!
So if we are talking about action scenes,
Theyre actually not that bad of a choice!!!
UfoTable is good in the eyes & ears but recently,
Theyre just good in the eyes & ears & thats it!!!
The only time i consider them that they made good characterization & story is only just on Shirou's character in Sakura's route & thats it!!!
You can easily check my list & how much rating i gave on their most popular show & that should tell you what i feel about Ufotable!!!
Dang it!!!
I havent started reading volume 7 of 86 this week!!!
I HAVE TO FIND TIME FOR THAT!!!
I MISS HANDLER ONE ALREADY!!!
AKA MAJOR/COLONEL KITA!!!
VOLUME 4 IS A MUST READ IF YOU HAVE FINISHED ALL OF THE ANIME!!!
But yeah!!!
It deserves to be in a better studio & animation team/staff!!!
& speaking about a better studio,
Which studio wouldve been the best for DAL in your opinion???
SEASON 2 OF 86 IS THE PERFECT SPRINGBOARD FOR THAT!!!
ESPECIALLY IF YOU WATCHED THE 1ST & 2ND SEASON IN A MINIMAL TIME FRAME!!!
I THINK YOU SHOULD START AT THE VERY BEGINNING IF YOU WANT TO WATCH S2 FOR A HARDER & MORE EFFECTIVE IMPACT!!!
& THATS NOT ME SAYING IT AS A FAN OF THE SERIES,
IM LITERALLY SAYING GO WATCH THE 1ST SEASON AGAIN & WATCH THE 2ND AFTERWARDS IN A MINIMAL TIMEFRAME FOR THE BEST VIEWING EXPERIENCE!!!
I think there are shows that are not that great to watch if you dont watch it in a minimal timeframe & unfortunately,
86 is one of em!!!
I feel guilty too of replying late to you!!!
Im currently juggling my time this week more than usual!!!
I thank you for your understanding on my mail situation!!!
Im sure that the LN of DAL is better than the anime!!!
& thats me just saying it from just watching the anime & not reading the LN!!!
86's second half is just beautiful!!!
& that ending!!!
EZ CRY CRY!!!
I recently finished reading Volume 6 of 86!!!
Im not sure if i can read Volume 7 this week unfortunately!!!
Shin & Lena have come a long way!!!
He basically made a fool of almost every character in the show!!!
Without any consequences & repercussions at that!!!
Heck even on his innocent classmates too!!!
He played with Alexia's emotions!!!
He made a fool out of Iris who has as innocent of a motive as it gets!!!
& that poor scientist's daughter who didnt even explain to her on why he killed her father!!!
Dude is so aloof & can come off being so heartless & apathetic!!!
I hope that sometime in the show, he gets a HARSH REALITY CHECK OF WHAT HE IS DOING!!!
In a character,
Im fine with being apathetic & smart as long as they have a logical & understandable motive!!!
I dont want to open nor delete mails in my mailbox for personal reasons!!!
Its like opening a damn old wound!!!
& i wont expound on that any further!!!
Hence why i always said to friends here in MAL to send msgs & chat on my comment section!!!
Shes the sole reason im watching this series!!!
I think the next LN im planning to read is Date A Bullet simply bcoz of her alone!!!
2nd half is good!!!
SEE THAT RATING OF S2!!!???
SHIT NEVER LIES & FOR GOOD REASON!!!
THAT DAMN ENDING & EPISODE 10 MADE ME CRY SO HARD!!!
IM ENJOYING THE 86 NOVELS SO FAR!!!
I RECENTLY FINISHED READING VOLUME 5!!!
My biggest problem i have with Eminence in Shadow is simply being the dude doesnt even care how bad are the consequences he has done on people or things who didnt do anything bad against him whatsoever!!!
It doesnt help that he doesnt have a proper motive in doing the things he did!!!
What should i expect on season 5 & further ahead as a non LN reader???
& what should i expect from my number 1 waifu???
^^You know, the one in my forum signature & avatar!!!
As if checking my profile is not proof enough!!!
If you are asking me what are the last few shows i watched...
-SukaSuka which broke my heart after watching it!!!
-86 in which after finishing the anime, i immediately start & im still currently reading the LN!!!
^^Also, you should watch S2!!!
-Eminence in Shadow in which it has a great concept of an overpowered isekai mc but I HATE HIS PERSONALITY!!!
If you are talking about mails,
My mailbox is full!!!
Hence why i dont DM!!!
Im sorry about that!!!
