About me:

I wouldn't really describe myself as an "otaku" or "weeaboo" or whatever, but I've certainly seen my fair share of anime. Currently obsessed with JoJo's Bizarre Adventure and Touhou Project. If you want to refer to me with pronouns, I'd prefer you use she/her or they/them.

My rating system includes a 0/10 and decimal point scores, but neither of those features are available on MAL, so all of my scores are rounded down to the nearest whole number out-of-ten (with the exception of 0/10, which is rounded up for obvious reasons, LOL).

My namesake, profile picture and forum avatar is Mirai Kuromaru, a "figurehead" of sorts that I created to represent myself on more-or-less every site that I'm on.

A lot of people seem to think that an Anime 3x3 chart is a great way to get to know someone better, so I decided that I'd finally make one and put it on my profile. Below is the graph, along with explanations of why each of these series are important to me.

Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories Of Phantasm~ (Top, left) - This was the anime that got me into the medium of Japanese animation, my "gateway anime" if you will. It also served as my introduction to Touhou Project.
R.O.D The TV (Top, center) - My best friend persistently recommended it to me for two years before I eventually caved in and watched it, and I was not disappointed. Currently my favorite individual anime season of all time, and I think it will stay that way for the forseeable future...
Nichijou - My Ordinary Life (Top, right) - One of my earliest anime, and the first one that I ever awarded with a perfect 10/10 score. It's also quite possibly the funniest piece of media I've ever watched.
JoJo's Bizarre Adventure (Middle, left) - While R.O.D The TV is my favorite individual anime season, this is my favorite anime franchise as a whole. It also singlehandedly changed my views on western music, exposing me to a lot of songs that I never knew I'd like. (Although there are still plenty that I have yet to listen to.)
Pokémon (Center) - My very first anime and my introduction to the Pokémon series, which would later become my favorite franchise of all time thanks to the main series videogames. As a result, this is definitely the anime that's had the biggest, most positive effect on my life.
Non Non Biyori (Middle, right) - Although I wouldn't particularly describe Non Non Biyori as one of my favorite anime series, it's definitely the series that feels the most like it was "made for me", if that makes any sense. Almost every character reminds me of myself or someone that I know, a lot of the episodes reminded me of my childhood, and Non Non Biyori Repeat episode 4 is, in my opinion, the saddest cartoon episode of all time (eat your heart out, Steven Universe episode 86, LOL).
Forbidden Scrollery (Bottom, left) - Although it isn't my favorite manga of all time (it is close though), Forbidden Scrollery was the first manga that I ever read, as well as the first manga that I ever bought physcially, and it still holds a very special place in my heart. A brilliant introduction to the Touhou Project manga and a must-read for any fan of the series.
Free! (Bottom, middle) - A lot of people seem surprised when they find out that I gave Free! Eternal Summer a 10/10, but there's a good reason for that. I watched this series during what was quite possibly the most vulnerable part of my life. I deeply related to Haru's struggles during Eternal Summer on a personal level almost as great as the aforementioned Non Non Biyori.
Pop Team Epic (Bottom, right) - Pop Team Epic is at the bottom, as it deserves to be. In much the same way as you can tell a lot about someone based on their favorite anime, you can tell a lot about someone based on their least favorite anime as well. Pop Team Epic is my least favorite franchise that I've ever seen. Using pop-culture references in the place of jokes, featuring lazy visuals that I could legitimately have done better using only Microsoft Paint, and changing the main characters' voices, personalities and backstories every five minutes, Pop Team Epic is the perfect example of what not to do when creating a piece of fiction.

Favorites and Least Favorites:

I had no idea where to put this section, LOL. This is a list of some of my various achievements in videogames.

I am genuinely proud of myself for this drawing.

Pranjal_Singh_09 Feb 11, 8:51 AM

Thank u (⁠✿⁠^⁠‿⁠^⁠)

Pranjal_Singh_09 Feb 11, 7:54 AM

Do you have a suggestion for a laid back anime? Maybe from slice of life

Pranjal_Singh_09 Feb 11, 7:19 AM

Hello

Kasen-Ibara Jan 28, 8:28 PM

Yeah, Mary-san as an actual urban-legend owes itself to Courage-style shenanigans. And being a well-known myth, even outside Japan, just gave Ste7en Foster more ammo for the dub script XD

Kasen-Ibara Jan 28, 8:09 PM

Oh, yeah, I realized I'm dumb. Cursed Stairs is the one where Leo's doing his magician bit. Absolutely king shit.

Then again, as you say in your tags, the Headless Rider episode and the first episode are really the only noticeable duds in the entire line-up, so any choice for "best episode" aside from those two would be goated.

Can we all agree the piano episode has the best story? I mean, it's not the funniest episode (which probably means it ain't in my top 5), but the actual narrative, even with all the jokes they added, is just really solid Courage the Cowardly Dog shit.

Kasen-Ibara Jan 28, 7:53 PM

Is the Cursed Stairs the one where everyone in the town's brainwashed? Because, if so, it's rare that you and I have such similar tastes. X'D

High-creep Jan 28, 6:55 PM

Show rocks!

Kasen-Ibara Jan 28, 6:50 PM

(Man, it's so hard to find Ghost Stories screencaps that don't break MAL TOS, LMFAO)

Lemme guess - your favorite episode was either the Shirotabi one or the track-and-field ghost? Just like everybody-else who watched this show, lol

High-creep Jan 28, 6:49 PM

Steel ball run is peak!

Kasen-Ibara Jan 28, 6:43 PM

So, you finally watched peak?

MeanMrMusician Jan 15, 4:26 PM

I'm guessing you're giving Sakamoto Days a 1 either because a character gets violated or it includes a VA that you dislike.

LightRans Jan 14, 7:17 PM

Hmm

To be honest, this caught my attention a little to read lol
It seemed interesting to me, I like to observe what a person will do in a situation they are not used to lol.
