Things to know regarding me and my lists:
1. Grammar is not my strong suit. That's why nearly all my forum posts are edited cuz I fuck up the wording a lot. I'm sure it bleeds into other things too. Sorry about that.
2. If an anime is over 200 episodes, probably not gonna watch it. It's definitely easier if it's broke up into different seasons. This is the main reason I haven't watched some very popular anime like Naruto, Bleach or Dragonball because I don't want to watch hundreds of episodes. Anyways, if it's over 100, it's still unlikely. But if I hear enough good things about an anime series that's over 100 episodes from my friends, I'll give it a chance eventually. I'm more keen on reading the source material usually the manga. Eg. One Piece
3. I have decided I will no longer read manga that are on a very long and extended hiatus anymore. (Eg. Nana) I just don't see the point of reading a forever unfinished work. Waste of time to me. At least most anime tries to stop at a good point. Manga just stops. I know it's very selfish.
Berserk and Vagabond are the only exceptions since I read them before I decided this. (However, Berserk's circumstances have changed since I wrote this but I think my point still stands.)
4. If a manga is on-hold, that usually means that I caught up with the amount of chapters they had at the time.
BIASED TOWARDS/LIKES: Shounen, Fantasy/Medieval, Self-aware silliness with bonus points if it's extremely serious at times (eg. Yakuza) self-acceptance stories, gangster/mob stories, historical fiction, well-thought out and well written stories that don't feel pretentious, parody, the electric bass and female and/or ethereal vocals in music
BIASED AGAINST/DISLIKES: Most Sci-fi settings, Acting like something was better during a certain time period, entitlement, narcissism, twitter hivemind politics, building up a fight and not delivering, when a character seems really cool or interesting or at least important and then is either written out, killed off in a meaningless way or irrelevant for the rest of the damn story, poorly executed symbolism, any scene or part in a story where a character is dragging through a desert in search of a location or food/water
Click the spoiler above if you care about my biases.
I just wanna ask the anime community to stop acting like whenever an anime was released has anything to do with it's watchability or it's quality. Good anime is good anime, whatever time period it was released in is usually pretty irrelevant.
Status: Just working 4 days a week. We'll see where life takes me for a bit.
I don't have Discord and for the time being, I'll have to pass up that opportunity I guess since I've just joined this site and am getting used to it, sorry >.<
