So about me... I spend a lot of my free time watching anime. You probably noticed that I've finished a lot more anime than most. This is mostly due to me having a pretty crappy attention span and not liking to start really long anime, unless I know it's going to be really good. So you'll see a lot of shorts, music videos, OVA's, movies etc. on my list. Pretty much what I'm saying is don't be too impressed, since the actual amount of full length anime I've completed isn't that high.
As for rating, I'm a pretty lenient rater, enjoyment and atmosphere are probably the most important things for me in an anime. I'm usually fairly open when it comes to anime, I'll try most things as long as I think it might be good, but I'll avoid a few certain genres. I tend to prefer darker anime and stuff that actually makes me think. I still also enjoy light-hearted and over-the top stuff sometimes though, I guess it really depends on my mood.
As for favorites I feel like choosing just 5 or 10 favourite anime for all the genres of anime out there is kinda unfair, so I'm going to go ahead and make a few lists for a few different genres ,pretty much extended favorites. Some anime will bleed into other genres so I'm going to try to have unique ones for each list. Check out my blog entries or leave me a comment if you're interested in my tastes on other stuff or just want to get to know me better.

HEY! Long time no talk, I sent you a message but it doesn't look like you have seen it. I was finally able to get back into my stuff! I am excited and going to send you another message I just finished Frieren, and WOW. Didn't watch anime there for a minute. Anyways Talk soon!!
I hear you, bud. I wasn't watching anime at all for a while and one of my friends was raving about Chainsaw Man, so I ended up checking it out. I didn't like it quite on the level he did, but it got me back into anime again. I've been trying to catch up on everything I missed. Seems Isekai really blew up in the last several years, lol. That -ish is everywhere, it seems.
I was exploring some old forum threads, and I saw your post from 2015 about expectations for the next 10 years. You said you thought you'd be dead, but I'm glad to see that you are indeed alive (at least as of Jan 22). I sincerely hope life turned out well for you.
Somehow I found my way back to MAL after like 5 years, haha. Saw your messages. Managed to come out the other end of the pandemic without too much damage. Hopefully, you did the same and are doing well!
Hey, I'm pretty good, you? I've been pretty swamped with work so I haven't been able to do much at home. I bought another car, a new computer and other stuff, but it doesn't seem to be making me all that happy, lol. So my resolution for the new year is to make my life more balanced.
Thanks for Nausicaa! She's one of the characters I admire the most because of how good hearted and resolute she is.
