I'm the user formerly known as "Reichu". In fact, I would prefer that you call me "Reichu", as the "_K" has no real significance beyond "humiliating reminder of the fact that I managed to orphan my original MAL account".
I don't watch anime like I used to. Back in the late 90s, when it was a vast new frontier, the sibs and I rented tapes from a collector in town, and fansubs were a rare commodity, almost anything was fair game. After I'd been exposed to the vast majority of cliches and tropes, and otherwise realized just how mediocre most anime was, the media lost its novelty and appeal "as" anime.
I've been content with a handful of favorites -- including "Evangelion", my most absolutest favorite of all -- and, since the end of last century, consumed new material at a very low rate. Not to say I've lost interest in anime entirely, as there are still plenty of things I want to check out; I just have to do it at my own pace.
