Riptos, Lover of moe and all manner of Kemonomimi girls!
Definitely an older anime fan now that I'm in my forties...yikes!
I'm a bit of a sucker for cute yet badass characters as my lists can probably attest to. However I would like to think I have a bit of a diverse taste when it comes to my anime. I like both dramatic anime and standard shounen though I tend to lean more one way than the other but it doesn't mean I won't watch it.
Grew up with anime such as Pokemon and especially Dragonball Z back in the Toonami days! Branched into it properly through things like Naruto and Yu-Gi-Oh!
I'm proud of what I've managed to amass on the old watched list as it's something I've been doing for about 20+ years of my life and possibly 20+ more as I don't believe there is an age cap on appreciated good animation and stories.
I play the odd visual novel here and there too when I have time with a particular fondness for a lot of the Key classics such as Little Busters and Rewrite. My personal favourite visual novel being G-Senjou no Maou which I still think has the best soundtrack in pretty much anything I've watched or played.
I stream a bit to very slim success over on Twitch under the handle "Riptos07" so if you want to see a clueless Scotsman fumble his way through various games then be sure to pop on by! Got a discord too and you can get a link to that from my Twitch channel!
Anyways, if you have any questions or even just a comment, be sure to pop it down below and I'll no doubt get back to you!

While I agree they kinda rushed Kouchi’s ending, I completely disagree with you about Mao being a selfish character. She’s the literal opposite of selfish lol - she helps Kouchi get a girlfriend and continues to support him AND her, even after realizing she has feelings for him. Just cause she’s friendly with a guy and he catches feelings for her, doesn’t mean it’s mutual. She makes the decision to move on from Kouchi and also gives Kai a chance. When she realizes she can’t ever feel the same way about him as she does Kouchi, she breaks up with him… that’s SELFLESS – she literally didn’t want to keep stringing him along. The ONLY time I would’ve viewed her as selfish was when she fought for her feelings and confessed to Kouchi how she felt. Also, you suggested that Mao/Kouchi’s feelings for each other sprung up from nowhere, but they’re childhood friends and have both spent a lot of time caring for each other. She just hadn’t previously realized that her feelings were more than a familial love, and the same goes for Kouchi. If anyone is selfish or a dumb character, it would be Kouchi, since he continues to hurt Mao’s feelings and disregards his own –up until the end– which results in him stringing along and hurting Yuumi as well. So yeah, I was satisfied with the ending as Mao was by far my favorite character.
I'm not sure if I'm supposed to believe they're just being late on shipping or what is going on. I'd feel awkward just torrenting it now though when by all right I should have already been given a BD copy like a month ago, but I don't really know what's going to happen
