Hi! My name is Jaimy. I've been a gamer pretty much my entire life and got introduced to anime by a few online friends. I find almost all anime with a psychological theme interesting. I'm also into the mystery, thriller, action, adventure, romance, drama and slice of life genres. As for a preference in demographic, I tend to really enjoy anime geared towards a seinen audience. I'm really open-minded when it comes to watching anime though and am willing to try out just about anything. If you happen to stumble upon my profile, please don't hesitate to chat with me. I'm looking to expand my plan to watch as much as possible, so recommendations are always appreciated. Random friend requests will be accepted, but please leave a message whenever you add me.
Note #1: I used to have a lot more dropdowns on my profile. I am currently in the process of doing a complete overhaul. For an accurate representation of my current favourites, see the favourite tabs provided by MAL.
Note #2: I typically do not add OVA's and specials to my list, unless they are either standalone shows or relevant to the main story.
Currently on a journey to watch every single Studio Ghibli movie

The rating system I use consists of a mix between personal rating criteria and my enjoyment level. I typically use the former category as a baseline value and shift the score up or down based on my attachment to the show. I define my enjoyment as the feeling I get from the anime.
Personal Rating Criteria:
(10)Masterpiece. Subjectively perfect; these anime are mesmerizing beyond belief and hold a special place in my heart.
(9)Breathtaking. Highly recommendable. Anime with this score are fascinating and bring a lot of excitement.
(8)Amazing. These anime are memorable. They have minor flaws but are barely noticeable due to the overall greatness of the show.
(7)Great. Not too groundbreaking, though shows in this category set an example of what makes a good anime.
(6)Good. Enjoyable anime, but more often than not lack depth. However, the pros outweigh the cons and it's worth the watch.
(5)Mediocre. Neither good, nor bad. Typically these are generic shows which bring nothing new to the table.
(4)Underwhelming. These anime may offer a mild form of entertainment, but have glaring weaknesses that cannot be overlooked.
(3)Bad. These shows have very little redeeming qualities and are heavily lacking in multiple areas.
(2)Terrible. An absolute drag to watch. Going through these anime is extremely painful.
(1)Unwatchable. A crime to the anime industry. The world would've been better off without them.
Enjoyment Level:
(10)Euphoria. Lifted my emotions to another level and could talk about them endlessly.
(9)Excitement. They brought me a lot of happiness and I could rewatch them easily without getting bored.
(8)Enthusiasm. They're not my absolute favourites, but I am still very passionate about these anime and enjoyed them a lot.
(7)Joy. Gave me a very pleasant feeling. Something could've been missing but on the whole I'm glad I watched them.
(6)Satisfaction. Adequate enough to me to make me give a cautious recommendation. Flawed, but overall I think well of these anime.
(5)Indifference. The feeling these anime gave me are very mixed. Would only recommend these to diehard fans of the genre.
(4)Disappointment. Mostly wasted potential. They aren't necessarily awful, but they feel like a waste of my time.
(3)Emptiness. I don't necessarily hate these anime, but they left me very numb and I couldn't care less about them at all.
(2)Resentment. The point where my feelings turn into bitterness and severe irritation. Left a bad taste in my mouth.
(1)Regret. I wish I would have never watched these anime at all.
Omg, Naruto's OSTs are the most beautiful thing in the world. Sadness and Sorrow, Loneliness, and Saika hit hard.
Yes, I believe that this had a significant influence on the war arc, but there are some positive aspects as well. This trope does not sit well with me either, but in the Naruto universe, where power and Jutsus are everything, I suppose it makes sense. It would be worst if it happened in Kingdom or Golden Kamuy, I dunno xD
I am not sure whether you are familiar with Naruto's novels; I believe I have read the majority of them, along with the manga. Maybe it is not clear from the anime, but I did not think Konoha was the absolute good guys in the story; the leaders of Konoha were also corrupt. If you know anything about the backstories of the first and second hokage, you might be able to understand what I mean, but I will not give too much away. The uchiha also suffered, and they were kind of disregarded by the rest of Konoha.
Therefore, in my opinion, the Uchiha clan had a legitimate reason for wanting the coup. My main issue is with Konoha's handling of the Uchiha; in essence, it was genocide, and I believe the third hokage contributed to it all by allowing it to occur.
I can therefore somewhat understand Sasuke's desire for vengeance against Konoha. It was unfair play by Konoha. In a way, I believe that both parties were acting in their own best interests. Given that his friends were also part of Konoha, you could also assume that he was deeply conflicted. Therefore, it is possible that he put up this facade in an attempt to forget his friends and exact revenge. Remembering what Itachi did to Sasuke when he was just 8 years old is also important. Sasuke strikes me as a somewhat realistic character because most people could/would definitely act in the same way as him. Though it is okay, I think Naruto is an "idealistic" character; personally, I like characters who are more conflicted or troubled.
Oh yeah, Minato and Kushina's backstory is one of the saddest anime moments for me. I cried a lot, and in that other scene was well.
Naruto really explores your emotions; that is one thing about it. I always think Kishimoto had the bravery to kill off some significant characters, which has an impact on the story's emotional aspect.
There are a few reasons why people dislike the later parts but I won't spoil it for you. I still enjoyed it. A complaint raised by some fans was that as the show was close to ending, it would drag on for an excessive amount of time before wrapping up. This anger increased when people were forced to wait an entire week for a new episode. But I guess people who watch the series later on could just binge-watch or skip some unimportant parts.
My favourite Naruto character is Sasuke. Though I am aware that some people do not like him, I think his character is really interesting. Secondly, Itachi and Kakashi as well:)
Oh, I see. I love Golden Kamuy, especially the manga; it is one of my all-time favorites. You should try to catch up with the anime as well because it is excellent and will only get better. A new season should be coming out soon.
There are a lot of nice Asirpa fan arts out there. I used to have her as my profile picture for a long time as well :)
Glad you are enjoying Shippuden. I am also a big fan of Naruto. Which part are you at? It is a quote from Sasuke, nicely noticed, lol.
Haha Thanks!
Love is War, Vinland Saga, and Frieren are also some of my favourites.
Right now, I am watching the second season of SAC and a number of seasonal shows.
hi , how are you doing I see you're watching one piece how do you like it so far ?
Personally, I stopped watching it because I couldn't accept the new art style + There are some things that I did not like, such as:
The lack of appearance of the characters that I love after the Wano arc made me a bit disappointed , and now I will have to watch one episode a week. You know how One Piece makes you not watch any other series. I feel like it restricts me to watching it only.
I think i’ll put one piece on hold until I finish my anime that I’m watching right now .
ooh I'm surprised I haven't come across some of these before - thank you very much, will be adding to my list!
about erased..I've been putting it off for a while now from what I've heard about the ending too but if it's not that bad then I'll be sure to give it a go!

I also do the same thing, but I prefer to wait a few weeks until they upload the episodes so that I do not lose the enthusiasm for watching.
