I am a young man who loves reading mangas and watching anime (obviously. If not, why would I be here?). I'd say my share of knowledge in the world of anime and mangas is considerably large (however, this is just how I portray myself haha). I believe mangas are the best after all, as anime tend to not depict art the way it is supposed to be. I started reading mangas and watching anime way too late (teenage). Until I watched Gantz in 2014, I never knew anime and mangas could possibly take different directions (shame on me eh?). This made me start reading mangas of most of the anime I had watched until then to shed light on whatever an anime doesn't show. Initially, I did try to maintain a balance between watching anime and reading comics, however, I'm completely a comics person now. Even worse, I've become a novel-reading person and less of a comic reader currently.
Just putting it out there, my greatest completed manga ever is Battle Royale. I can't say I have a 'greatest anime ever', but my number one is Bleach. I am giving it the top spot as it was the first anime I ever watched when I was maybe 13 or 14 with the understanding of what anime was. If not for Bleach, I may never have been this heavy an anime lover. My heart tells me no other anime could achieve this feat (maybe Death Note) as convincingly as Bleach did, but who am I to say? BANKAI!!!!!!. I'd give Hajime No Ippo a close second.
Anyway, I'm not too critical about ratings, my 8 or 9's may be your 4 or 5's (it is what it is people). I tend to score mostly based on enjoyment (y'all who break it down to the core sure have time. Just so happens that even though I'm a very psychological and analytical person, I'm a lazy and very nonchalant person so I don't tend to care much for scoring most times). It all boils down to whether I like a particular anime or not (to me scoring is just a number). Let me rephrase my take on scoring anime in another way, 'Whatever score I give an anime doesn't identify how good or bad it is, it shows how much I enjoyed it or not' (so anything below a 5 is a definite dislike and a 5 is a like but at the lowest degree). Don't take my scoring for what it's not or use it as a reference, y'all should watch what you want and score for yourselves.
Lest I forget since this is important, I HATE MECHA!!!!!!!!!! But I can stomach cyberpunk (with this, I'm done). All other genres are a GO, but Mecha? Nah it's a NO-NO. Also, I don't have a problem with fanservice (or ecchi? harem? I don't even know what to call it) in mangas or anime (becomes a different story if it's too much in anime though). In my opinion, it's either you don't overdo it and disgust me, or better still, just make it hentai. Although it's a natural fact that I hate almost all (if not all) female characters in any manga and anime, only two make my extended favourites character list.
I'm not much of a reviewer but I try to have a go at it once in a while (funny enough, I wanted to be a writer when I was younger. Shame I never worked on the talent at that time). I tend to go for mangas without many reviews on them (makes me feel like I've done something cool like gaining a rare gem). I got a blog though with just a bunch of random articles I wrote, check it out (link at 'Also Available At'. Let me warn you though, none are anime/manga related).
I decided to create this account as I would like all my mangas and anime details in one place (plus this website is where I get all the info I need about them anyway). Well, I'm a really friendly person, great to chat with (maybe a bit too carefree here, a'int you Andrew? Ahh forget it) and a person who's always open to making new friends. I ain't the type to choose much on who becomes my friend as everyone is unique in their own way so I ACCEPT MOST REQUESTS![/b] But I know I'll be the one to send out them random requests though haha) so feel free to holla at any time about anything.
I'm down to chat about stuff away from the manga and anime world, as I see this site as the same thing as any other social network (drop a comment or send a message). I listen to music way too much (predominantly HIP-HOP! I am a bonafide 'Hip-Hop Head'. Title has a sudden flare to it, don't it?). Besides, I'm not too enthusiastic about getting a lot of requests, to be honest. I'll always find time to show up on MAL, so I'm constantly going to be updating my profile.
I can't keep worrying about the things in my life I can't change.
Dear Lord, give me the strength to fight the evil in this game.
Ohhh I close my eyes and get down on my knees, pray to the Heavens, protect my family.
If I leave, that's good enough for me.

Here's one more track I decided to throw in just for the heck of it..
I wish I did this earlier since I had shuffled through a lot of authors and people in the past for my Favorite People in my profile. I'll just leave this here to give me a good reminder of the others that aren't there.
I just visit when I feel like it, so I can’t really say much about how people are here. Do you think it’s worth sticking around more often?
Haha, yeah, I dropped Fairy Tail(manga & anime) because I kinda overwatched and got burnt out. Happens sometimes, right? I’m not into comics much, I’m into movies, TV, music, though.
Right now, I am just getting back into this website, this is what’s been keeping me busy. It’s kind of nice to reconnect and explore things here again. What’s been keeping you grounded these days?
hey
Thanks for accepting the friend request! Honestly, I came across your profile while going through a mutual friend's list. You've got a lot of friends, so I can't quite recall which one it was, but your profile seemed interesting, so I sent request.
As for Fairy Tail, I picked it up to build excitement for the anime. I don’t dive into anime or manga often, so I tend to switch things up quickly.
Also I noticed that Fairy tail isn't our shared manga, you haven't read it. So did you just go through my dropped manga?
By the way, I like how you followed up on the friend request with this message!
Oooo the warmup was my shit too. I remember bumpin Young Simba and Til' Infinity all the time. I haven't heard of Wale or CyHi the Prynce before will definitely check them out! I heard a little of Big Krit but I haven't really got too deep into his music. The most I listened to was his feature on 1Train and maybe like 1 song off his 4eva album but that was a long time ago so I forgot what song. What songs would you recommend for him? Gotta love Pro Era. Steez was definitely ahead of his time. Hard for me to say if I like him more than Joey but I always find myself coming back to Clear the air, Chicago, and InVision. To this day Free the Robots is still the best music video I have ever had the pleasure of seeing. Really makes you think about how much of life in the digital age is just media consumption.
its cold over here...... well I'm preparing for my exams and I'm really really busy with them these days. man I hate studies I wanna watch some anime 😭😭

HBU? How are things going?
Hope you are doing well.
I just need some motivation
