Welcome to my profile!
I'm Thom, a 27 year old User Experience Designer/Researcher.
I'm a big fan of slice of life, romance, coming of age stories and mono no aware. In general, I love character-driven anime and a focus on more subtle, visual storytelling. But at the same time I can enjoy mindless trash occasionally.
I'm also into gaming, movies, travelling, amusement parks/roller coasters, football, formula 1, music and a bit of reading.

Did you play Atri? I was going to buy it eventually, but I still never have.
Maybe I would have had a better experience with the show had my expectations been different. The most I could muster about the character drama aspect was that it was 'passable'. What hampered it for me is that I felt little chemistry between the two MC's (as friends, I mean); I could find no particular reason as to why they were the person to drag the other out of their shell slightly. And add onto that the snail-paced plot progression...
Thanks for linking the post though, I liked reading it!
Edit: Happy new year! :D
And now Adachi to Shimamura on top of that. Another MAL friend of mine was already watching that as well. A remarkable stroke of coincidence indeed, haha
I'm curious, what was it that made you drop Dororo? I'm not liking the last few episodes all that much, but it was doing fairly good for me up until the halfway point.
I also noticed that you're Dutch, so I don't know why I'm reverting to English, but... yes. Just yes. I'm equally comfortable with English as with Dutch, but feel free to proceed in Dutch if you are a normal human being - unlike me.
I'm glad you liked Madoka; at least my lunacy has managed to reach someone. I'm really hoping that Shaft finally gets to the fourth movie now that Monogatari is finished until Monster Season produces a bit more source material, but who knows. At least Magia Record will be here soon to relieve some of the pain.
I haven't watched too much new anime recently myself. I've re-watched Madoka a few times (to my weeb roommate's dismay), but apart from that I've mostly just watched slice of life shows. One show I've watched recently that was really good is Non Non Biyori. Its slow, methodical pacing (which reminds me, I still need to watch Aria) is both really calming and great for setting up jokes; I swear they always creep up on me. Also, the soundtrack is maybe the best I've ever heard in a slice of life (other than K-On of course). Gochiusa is another really good slice of life I've watched relatively recently; it reminds me a lot more of something like Yuru Yuri with how it goes about its humor.
Also, our affinity is at 48.5%. I don't think I've ever seen it that high before. Pretty incredible tbh.
