Report Fovez's Profile

i decided to take a look after all this time comments on my profile since i decided to get once again a bit more engaged with anime ( rewatching all the stuff that i liked and what people with "taste" consider to be good ) and with that, once again start fresh with MAL ( i could always go back to my old profile, but i decided to create a new one because i am somewhat of a different person compared to "X" many years ago ) and my tastes have somewhat changed ( i'm a bit more of a grumpy old man now, despite getting back to rewatching everything, i do not consider most anime to be that great anymore - you may notice this by looking at my scores - no 9's and 10's... for now ). I just finished watching Tatami Galaxy and it was...good. Very cute and well written story with engaging visuals and great directing ( as expected from Yuasa ), but i do not consider it to be a "Great masterpiece" as so many "people with good taste" do. It doesn't have that much depth to it other than "appreciate what you have" and "there is no such thing as a rose colored college life" and similar types of messages. I found myself from episode 1 seeing that "the dangling opportunity" is just asking that girl out, lol.

Anyway, most of my MAL "friends" profiles are dead ( kinda depressing, but then again, so was my profile ), and i decided to write to some people that stood out in my comments, so... congrats? :D
Tomorrow i'm starting Mushishi, this one has potential i believe. Now that i'm older it seems more like the kind of anime up my alley.

7 years later your taste is as shit as ever <3

Okay.

lol so u just put in 9999 eps watched for the animes?

Damn... That really is fascinating!
Btw, whats up with ur anime and manga stats?! MAL Bugged out or smth??

Haha..
1997 isn't so bad... I remember once seeing someone from 1970.

Happy Birthday!!

Happy birthday

yes but for how long

Hey

What's up?

Ohey. Been a while.

Gotcha. Meanwhile, things have def been shaking up for me now. Graduated, started anitube, moved house, reconnected with a now close friend, got myriad health scares and headaches, a few other things, it's been an eventful 16 months, for better and worse.

Gee, decided to log in to MAL again after a while? I barely do so myself, as I have become quite disinterested in watching new anime shows. How is life going for you?

lol

Good to hear. It's been quite a while. Nearly 2 years.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.

Thanks for the long reply, it is nice that you live in Norway btw, I'd really like to at least visit once.

It makes sense that you felt worse, long-term quarantine(s) are something that makes people inactive, fruitless and unproductive. I myself am still going through that kinda situation atm, in spite of the quarantine not being a thing anymore, because it has long-lasting effects that can only be dealt with with trial and error. Hope that you are better now and you can do what you want to do both internally and externally.

I myself moved somewhere else for university, for sure it was hard at first but then it got better. Unfortunately, as I said, covid changed a lot of things, and I had to move back. It all needs a lot of effort in order to get back on track.

I don't watch any seasonals anymore. I handpick some series from several seasons and binge 'em later on when I got the time and liking. It makes sense that you are not interested in similar stuff or are accustomed in certain cliches that you don't want in the series you watch.

I am looking forward to Kobayashi-san's sequel and Fumetsu no Anata e. Found Violet Evergarden to be good, even though I don't think it's anything that amazing. It does a good job at addressing several themes but its episodic nature makes the feelings it wants to evoke a bit fabricated, and it's like I have seen this done a thousand times over. Dropped Horimiya because it felt uneven and badly paced. Liked the last season of Dr. Stone less as well. Jujutsu Kaisen was pretty good, I enjoyed its audiovisuals a lot.

It's perfectly okay, I'm struggling with my english at times myself.
