-Gonna dump my main account crap here for now, gotta re-organize all this stuff-

Canadian anime fan/greenhorn critic. I follow any anime that interests me regardless of how anyone else sees it and base my judgments solely on my own experience. Genre and demographic are pretty much inconsequential so long as the story is good. I'm always looking to learn more about critiquing or having discussions about anime and games I enjoy. While it may sound pompous from my mouth, (or in this case, texts) I'm a sincere guy with strong opinions and love a stimulating debate/discussion on anime, so feel free to add me up or have a chat.

First legitimate anime I had ever seen was Inuyasha when I was 8 if you don't count Ghibli movies which wouldn't totally lend themselves to being as distinctly foreign as a kid, otherwise, it would be Kiki's Delivery Service (used to rent it all the time when I was 5 but never got around to owning it, and now I don't remember a lick of it). Watching Inuyasha weekday nights at around 8 P.M. on the Canadian channel YTV (Youth Tele-Vision) after learning about it from an old friend. The first episode I saw was the one where Shippo was introduced and he was being pestered by the thunder gods and whatnot, and I was immediately hooked. Going under the assumption that most "cartoons" and stuff on TV in general have books of sorts surrounding them, I looked around on a whim at my local Chapters one day and found the "Manga" section of the store and started delving into the world of anime and manga. Watching the Bionix anime program block (a.k.a the COOL version of Toonami/Adult Swim) on YTV Friday nights as a stepping stone, doing some research online, browsing anime and manga sections of stores, etc. Here I am 10 years later still going strong!

Things I look for in an anime/things I like:


Things that I give demerits for/things I hate:


How my ratings work:
10-A work of brilliance; any flaws are few and minor. Reserved for the best of the best.
9-Short of greatness; a little nitpick or 2 that detracts a bit from the overall enjoyment, but still totally recommended.
8-Exceptionally good; there are some great hooks that make it worth while and excel in some area but are still held back.
7-Very good; there's enjoyment to be had here and it's worth a complete watch or more, but there are things that hinder it.
6-Above average; worth about one complete run possibly as a time consuming romp, but somewhat unremarkable.
5-Mediocrity; there's some value in watching it, but still leaves much to be desired.
4-Below average; maybe some minor noteworthy things worth a look, but a potential waste of your time or something you can't finish.
3-Trash; very little to be enjoyed here, some peripheral or minor factors are saving it from being a complete waste.
2-Crap; There's maybe one element that saves the show from being a 100% disaster through and through.
1-Torture; reserved for abuse, whether one is masochistic or wants to mess with other people.
