i guess that means you liiike me. im flattered~~

i guess i can tell you a bit about my tragic backstory. just a little peek into my dark and twisted psyche, hehe. the things in my head would make even Cannonball Lecture sick, hehe. a little warning for those frail of mind and weak of spirit-- okay, i'm ending the bit there.

i was introduced to anime at a young age. not on tv or anything. although my brother was really into pokemon and bakugan at the time, i was not. no, this was in 2014, when you could upload an entire series on youtube, add a little box in the corner with your face for reactions, and then not react to anything at all (with adsense of course). i remember it was after i watched a pewdiepie video, he'd just uploaded his playthrough of the corpse party games and instead of clicking the next part i accidentally clicked on a reaction video of the show instead, something 10-year-old was definitely not of sound mind for. i was terrified of the atmosphere and the gore and the insane amount of kids getting brutalized (and sexualized? it was a weird time). the corpse party anime is actually heinous, but something possessed me to continue, and so with the help of the little guy in the corner who wasn't saying all that much to comfort me, i watched all 4 episodes. i dont know if i enjoyed it per se, but it gave my body this raw dose of adrenaline that I'm sure if my frontal cortex were a little more developed would not have happened. after that, i started seeking out shows with similar artstyles. prison school, one punch man and angel beats. this was also during puberty so i watched more ecchi than i am proud of which i have graciously omitted from my lists.

i largely forgot about anime during my high school years, but with the introduction of the pandemic and self isolation, and really nothing much better to do, i started watching seasonal shows. my friends got into the hobby at the same time as I did so we talked and joked about it together. now I remember those moments fondly. watching anime still brings me a modicum of joy but I'm in college now and i barely have the time or energy to do anything I enjoy. recently, to compensate, it's led me to stockpile a bunch of shows to watch during breaks or holidays only to regret it when I have 15 shows on my list and no time to watch them. its safe to say my will to start new shows is as strong as ever, but my will to finish them has wavered a bit, maybe because I'm more critical of the media I enjoy while at the same time being petrified of dropping shows I dislike. i long for the days where I could finish a shitty 12-episode series in one day.

i watch anime as a hobby, not a sport, which means I haven't watched a lot of great shows and I probably will never. its a sad fact of life but i’ve made peace with that. on top of watching anime, I also play video games, listen to music, watch reality tv, and draw and write, which I'm trying to do more of in the new year.

my rating system is pretty easy to understand. a 6 is considered a cautionary recommendation and anything above that is an actual recommendation. my taste is pretty varied but i refuse to watch any more self-insert power fantasy shlock. and that includes most romances. that's my prerogative.

anything else I forgot to mention:
-my views are my own,
but they're also pretty liberal.
-studying psychology
-ipad kid, unfortunately
-horror/drama/seinen fan
