Me and Anime:
I've been watching Anime for as long as I can remember and grew up watching the usual mainstream Anime that aired on television back in the day along with the classic Ghibli films. While I wasn't always familiar with the term 'Anime', I was however, always somehow aware of their Japanese origins due to how different they felt in comparison to the other cartoons I watched.
Around the age of 9 is when I started started seeking anime outside the confines of my television, the earliest shows that come to mind are Guyver, Rurouni Kenshin, Naruto, Soul Eater and Death Note. I also highly enjoy writing reviews and write mostly for fun or whenever I feel like it.
I also read a bit of Manga sometimes but unless its already obvious from my statistics, I watch Anime far more than I read Manga.
Other than the very few comprehensive reviews, I also provide short reviews for all of the titles on my list through the tags section. I try to make these as short and to-the-point as I can for quick referencing and serves more as a medium for me to get my thoughts out.

How I Rate My Anime:



Having watched anime very consistently for over a decade, It's hard to not notice the underlying flaws and cliched troupes that have settled in most anime, making it harder to come across a show that truly stands out to me.
I'm very thorough with my rating process and consider every aspect before rating a title, and try to be as objective as I possibly can while still giving in a flavor of my own thoughts as well. I don't have a set criteria and instead review based on what the show itself tries to focus on and brings to the table so my rating criteria shifts depending on what I'm watching. Having said that though, my thought process does revolve around the saying that "A well written cast of characters can compensate for a poorly written plot but very rarely is a well written plot able to compensate for poorly written characters". Because of all this, my ratings might come off as unfair to some, but just because a show is ranked a little lower than usual doesn't mean I hate it, similarly if a title is rated highly on my list doesn't make it a favorite either. The objective here is NOT to undermine any shows in particular, but rather to utilize the entire ranking scale to provide a wider spectrum and ultimately distinguish between the good, the great, and the exceptional.
