[Current Favorite Characters Theme: Loveable but not quite human]

I'm mostly interested Slice of Life, Romance, Comedy, Drama, Horror, and Girls Love anime. But I think there's good stuff in all other genres too! My top watched theme by far is School.

My first anime was Sailor Moon in 2009. Then Haruhi and Death Note not too long after that.

I like emotional stories that makes me cry. I need to be invested in the art style of an anime to really enjoy it. I appreciate high quality and creative animation. KyoAni has been the biggest influence on my anime tastes.

I used to never drop anime. But I decided to start started dropping in the Fall 24 season because honestly there are so much each season I want to check out these days. And if a show doesn't excite me enough to look forward to it each week, or it puts me in a bad mood, then I'm just going to abandon it before it poisons my experience with other anime.

10-Personal favorite, means something special to me, otherwise same as a 9
9-Very high quality animation or high emotional impact, will probably be re-watching this.
8-High animation quality or very interesting and compelling story, made me want to keep watching
7-Entertaining overall, I liked it but it wasn't super impressive
6-Just OK, some redeeming qualities but lacking in other areas, a bit boring at times
5-Flat or bland animation or wasn't an interesting story
4-Just didn't like it, rubbed me the wrong way but may not be horrible on a technical level
3-Low quality animation or really hated the story, not worth the time
2-Extremely low quality animation or nonsensical plot, this shouldn't exist
1-So bad it's good. Legendary awfulness that makes it entertaining for all the wrong reasons

I typically don't rate "bonus episode"-type OVAs or specials, CMs, PVs, music videos, mini-anime, recap movies, super old short films or anything incredibly short.
