Report Pernodi's Profile

Ah, no worries. It's been quite awhile, and I thought I should at least wish you a happy birthday. That's great to hear that you are doing better. New jobs can be incredibly stressful, but they can also be quite rewarding as well. If you ever feel the need to return to MAL, forum games has become quite the cozy and friendly place to visit. Of course, there are a few . . . interesting people, but it's been fun and a lot has happened. There's no rush, naturally, if you don't have the time, that's perfectly fine too. I'm just glad you replied to my comment in the first place, lol.

Heyy yaaa Pernodi!

I'm not sure if you'll see this, but happy birthday! Or am I a bit late? Regardless, wishing you the best in whatever you're out there doing right now. Have a lovely day!

You're right, Fishmans has so much nice music. I often listen when studying! Glad to hear from you (even tho late reply LOL, studies take sm energy'''orz)

Ahh okay I must've have missed that. I usually associate witches with autumn, with Halloween and all, so you could probably see where I was coming from. I Guess summer does makes it a bit more distinctive from something like the stereotypical autumn setting then lol. It did throw me off when you edited the material, but I'm sure it's for the best. It's cool to see all of the versions and alternatives before the final product anyways. Seeing it develop into something is kinda of a journey in it's own right.

I just don't want you to think I lost interest or something. I know it can be quite nerve racking when you don't get a response immediately, so I try to get to them whenever I can.

yeah kaiki is definitely top 3 for me, the mc in ID speaks in the same exact tone. but of course instead of conning people, he talks more about cars xD

damnn that's serious burnout, so you still didn't watch much western media during those periods? or did you just suddenly come back into anime?
i wish i had joined mal earlier too so my malgraph could've been more accurate.

nice, yeah i'll stick around as a reminder as well. since i'm always on the lookout for good seasonals.

i see, wonder if manga adaptations of LNs are any good, they're almost always rated lower than it's LN counterpart tho, from what i've seen on mal at least.

jeeez that's pretty neat, AI comes through again haha. this cover makes me wanna rewatch harry potter now...

oh okay i'll make an account in a few days for sure then, and good for you man! it's a pretty difficult challenge writing a novel so doing well in a contest like that must feel great huh haha. top 3 is a win on it's own.
oh my god you're blowing through this, i imagine most people might be sweating a few but you're making it sound wayyy too easy xD

what about the fully cgi netflix ghost in the shell lmao?

(This is just a lil update on your novel, and some of my thoughts on it)
I finally caught up on your writing. Sorry if I can't be there when a new chapter releases, I often get fixated on other things and become forgetful. I noticed that you changed the cover. I think it's definitely an upgrade from the last one, but the greenery is a bit off-putting for me. I always imagined it with a more autumn like setting, but maybe that's just me. Also, did you rearrange some chapters? I found it strange that I read chapter 6, but not chapter 5. Anyways keep it up! You've already gone past the 100 likes threshold, so your work will be a solid contender for sure.

bit late, sorry for that yo been a few busy days but i was rewatching initial D and somehow managed to finish it. oh and i completely forgot about the fact that, the mc in ID also voiced your boy kaiki.
lmaoo so you were like the overpowered boss siting for the test, only exerted 5% of your power. glad to hear it went well tho!

you're right tho, i only watched the new urusei yatsura but the saturday morning cartoon vibes were strong. it was also airing on fridays last year, so close enough to saturday lol. have you ever gotten burnout tho?

i see, yeah quite a few people i know only like binging. we'll see if i ever give up on watching seasonal shows while they're airing lmao. woah september sounded really far away but i just realized we're already in june lol. but yeah definitely one of the best shows in a while imo and it deserves more attention. although i thought it wouldn't even get the level of attention it currently has, when the first episode dropped.

ahhaha fair enough, you into anything in the western media?

oh i did love tatami galaxy, think i liked tatami time machine blues slightly more but i'm keen for ping pong now for sure.

alright got it, and one last question about LNs (since i pretty much have no knowledge of it) do LNs have any pictures at all or is it just words?

really?! alright i wanna start haruhi this week then, maybe even after the show i'm currently binging. that's very convenient haha i feel for you during your time tho xD
i'm also on holiday right now, so i got a lot of time to finish stuff, happy days.

damn you have to make the cover art as well? you're literally a full-fledged author, i reckon chatGPT should co-author with you xD

i wanted to watch ghost in the shell at one point, but there are so many alternative versions that i gave up on it, will properly check it out at some point tho.

wonder how many people are participating in the contest. so pushing over 1k words per chapter means it'll be around 24 chapters, decent stuff. wholesomeness - we love to see it!

Basically my whole life. I watched DBZ before I reached double digits in terms of age. After that, I would occasionally pick up a new anime. Assassination Classroom, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece, Fairy Tail, Pokemon, and Yu-Gi-Oh to name a few. I only started watching daily, or taking it seriously, in 2016. At that time, I started with Your Lie in April, Yuri on Ice, etc. So I watched Steins: Gate someone around 2016-2017. I only thought of to make a MAL account as of this year because I started watching episodes of at least 2 different anime daily, and it was getting to much to handle. When I made this account I think I already had 92 days watched or something absurd like that. A lot of what's in my dropped/on-hold is an estimate of what I watched. For example: I remember watching up to the Fourth Shinobi War in Naruto, so I just picked an episode that falls into that arc, removed all of the filler episodes, and called it a day. So my stats aren't the most accurate in the world, but that's what I get for not keeping track of at least 7 years worth of watch time.



Descriptions are definitely the highlights of your writing. I can clearly envision what is being discerned. At least you know what to work on. It's all about momentum, once you improve you'll keep on improving.


No problem! I'm not doing much since I'm on summer break, so I might as well help out as much as I can.

Maybe we'll get to that when I reach manga proficiency. I don't think it would be very enticing if it was just a one way conversation.

AoT is great, I don't think I can really expand on that. I watched all of it when Final Season Part 2 finished, so I didn't experience it weekly. In fact I watched, like, 4-5 episodes at a time so I was basically watching a little movie every day. I agree that S3 Part 2 was peak, but I also can't forget what they did to a certain character in my favorites in Final Season Part 1. That's a really big reason why she's in my favorite characters actually.

Another depressing anime? Our favorites must be polar opposites with the current trend that I'm seeing. At least this one gave you some motivation in life lol. Sorry to hear that about your ringtone, to be honest I never even heard of NHK until I saw it in your favorites - so I doubt others would know what it was.

I watched one episode of Steins: Gate and never came back to it. People have told to watch beyond the 1st episode, because it won't make sense in the beginning. Then I completely forgot about it and now it's been maybe 7 years since. It's on-hold, but for how long who knows. This is another must-watch anime for a lot of people so I have to get around to it eventually.

A lot of these I haven't heard of, and Kino no Tabi is no exception.

Yeah there is some anime in my list that I can't believe I watched or don't remember a single thing about. Like, how did I go through 224 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh and not remember a single episode?

It's always hard to decide what to remove from your favorites, I feel like I have some emotional attachment to them and it would be weird without them there. I do have some room for new favorites though, as I can just count FLCL as the whole series - or just put them in my extended favorites.


Well it's been fun journey. I'll let you focus on your writing now, doing all of this must've been slowing you down anyways.

Well, thanks for the warning! I'd probably make the same mistake too. That's always good to know when random and weird occurrences come up when it comes to watch order and things like that.



Good to know my gaming knowledge is coming in handy. It straight up looked liked the Castlevania (anime?) on Netflix. Which I dropped, so maybe that's not a good sign lol.



I see, I see. I don't really have fears or phobias like that, so it's fascinating to see someone with a background who does. The closest thing that probably gets me scared is other people pets. I'm fine with animals I know that are chill and friendly, but a random strangers animal comes into the building and I don't trust a single thing of what it can do.


Spirit Circle has been wild. I was so confused when they first entered the "dream" or past, but I quickly grasped on what was going on. It's still too early to say I'm absolutely in love with it, but so far it's been interesting. I'm still taking some time to get used to reading manga, but I think I'll adapt soon enough. Btw don't expect any rating on manga I've read until I get to a certain number of days read. I want to get a good idea of what I liked, and what I didn't to get a proper ranking system going. Honestly I still change my anime ratings every now and then to see what I feel is right.

I always forget that the Haruhi Suzumiya series (is that what you even call it idk) exists. Broadcast order and chronological order are different in season 1? Also this is a Christmas movie? How does this sound more confusing than the Fate series. Guess this movie must be worth it if you had to go through what seems to be a lackluster 2 seasons.

Never heard of Vampire Hunter D. Might check that out later. I'm getting strong CastleVania vibes from looking at images online. You have a fear of blood? That's interesting to hear. I wonder how you get through 90% of battle Shounen. Horror anime seem to suck for some reason. The only horror anime I've rated highly was Parasyte; the Maxim. I'm not even sure why it's labeled as such. Yeah if it's been 23 years this is no chance that it will ever come back. But who knows? Urusei Yatsura came back from its original release back in 1981.

You're welcome! I lowkey made the account just for that lol. I'll be going other peoples novels soon though, I thought I might as well start supporting you first. I think it's been good so far. I can tell that it was professionally done and that you take this seriously. I will admit that it took me a second to realize that the Isekai part is the witch from another world, and not the main protag/character (Yes I know it's in the title, but I'm not the brightest person in the world.) Also why specifically 82 years? Is it to deviate from the usual 100 years or so? Also, it's actually triggering me that the title doesn't have capitalization beyond the first letter. Besides that, I'm interested in seeing how this goes, and how you'll be able to expanded upon the romance bits. I think I'm starting to see that be the main focus in the coming chapters. I'm not a writer though, so I couldn't really tell you what you're doing wrong, if that's what you're looking for in this reply.


Going off topic here, I read "among us" in this line and died. My sense of humor is forever gone.

Interesting, i also have this occasional desire to read/watch the top 100 (but it keeps changing so fast!)... Depending on your reading speed and how text heavy the manga is, it really can take years. I once read 80 chapters of Gantz in a single day, though i never pulled that off again. Nowadays its more like 5-10 chapters if something is really good (IF i was still reading). And yeah, PTW lists always grow bigger no matter how much you consume lol.

Concerning ecchi/harem: Same. But fr back then my favorites basically consisted of like 50%+ of this stuff haha.
Research really is important, i agree. Ever since 2016 or so i also decided to be more picky, looking at directors, series composition and ofc source material among other things and i also notice my mean slowly rising again.

Oh wow, this anime has 50min episodes? Thats interesting, was that common back then?

Ikigami is kind of semi-episodic, which i normally avoid (i like continuous/overarching stories) but this one really hits different. Its basically about a guy who works for that shady company mentioned in the synopsis who has to tell people they are about to die. What makes this work so interesting is how the receivers of this message all react differently yet very authentic with some great and emotional (and sometimes quite shocking) side stories - both good and evil. This also affects the main character psyche though who carries out these death papers growing increasingly suspicious of what he and his company does etc.. Great character study if ive ever seen one. Has some similiar vibes to stuff like 1984 as well. Biggest downside ofc is that the ending is in all-japanese rip.

Wow nice, i dont think i have ever re-read a manga before, let alone of this size. "Post-apocalyptic" SoL certainly sounds like an interesting mix :D. Im also curious about this work since one of my close weeb friends loved this manga. Like mentioned before, the only thing holding me back from reading new stuff is possible adaptations... and a series this popular sure must get an anime at some point? T_T But i´ll add it to my PTW (among a few others), maybe ill find myself in the mood for this kind of manga at some point!

It's been a very long time since I watched Ping Pong the Animation, so I don't really have much to say about it either. I remember not disliking it, and so I gave it a 7. Giving it some credit, but not too much. That would be insane if they made it into a 111 episode anime though lol. Now that I'm looking at it, I never realized how highly rated it is. A 8.62 is really good.

Yeah, you know when something is truly special when you start to feel all sorts of things. I can ignore all other bad aspects of the show if it made me emotional.

Mushishi, as you already know by now, I dislike. I think I fell asleep at least 3 times when watching it. Perhaps it was too relaxing lol.I've said before that it isn't my thing, but I've watched similar anime - for example Girls' Last Tour - and loved it. So I can't say I dislike it because of its genre/themes. Having 4 entries in MAL's top 100 is impressive, so maybe I'll give Mushishi a re-watch in the future (Don't quote me on that though - no promises lol.) It must be a bit heartbreaking to see me rate it so poorly. I know I would disappear from the face of the Earth if you rated Ya Boy Kongmiing as a 1 or something.

You've been doing a lot lately, make sure to take breaks once in a while. Take care and have yourself a good one.

all the best my guy! sure, take your time man.
