Stop analyizing to find flaws. Learn to engage with what you see, learn its language and seek a way to immerse yourself. Approach things with good faith.
First of all, sorry for taking so long to reply! I took a break from modding and MAL in general for a while because of college and I'm just now getting back to everyone who's commented in that time.
Really happy you can relate. Yeah, I've always thought of the relationship the general public has with art as very unhealthy, especially on the Internet. People rely on critics and the general public to dictate their own opinions, which is really sad and such a waste of potential. I always enjoy hearing about people's personal relationships with said art. I don't care if you love or hate my favorite story, I want to know why you feel so strongly about it and what you got out of it as a person, not as a "critic". I want to know why the show with a score under 7.00 is your favorite of all time and why the one that's almost at a 9.00 didn't click with you at all. That sort of thing.
And this applies to everything when it comes to art, really. That's why I feel such a need to rebel towards attempts at objectively approaching an area where subjectivity rules (or, well, should rule) in most aspects.
On a personal note, I love your taste and find your favorites really interesting :D
Yo, there's a Hyouge Mono server on discord if you wanna join. Since the manga is being translated regularly there should be lots of people who read it now. whether you like to discuss the anime or discuss the new chapters or the manga as whole, the server can be good place for any of that. https://discord.gg/B6ATSRZ
Oiiii maaaan! Merry Christmas and happy new year! How were those celebrations!? Did you get to eat a lot? I sure did, lol.
Well, well, like i said before, i actually thought you had totally forgotten and/or didn’t use the profile as much, it was so nice to get that message even after a long time so no worries! So don’t even apologize, i mean, i actually don’t care how much a person takes to reply; we all have our lives and issues (for example, i wasn’t planing to reply and MAL messages any time soon cause i have so many exams going on but decided to today since i’m sick in bed, lol)
I was really shocked i swear, but i guess it’s as you say; funny thing, i recently found another friend who happens to use last.fm and even thou he doesn’t listen to that much metal or any punk himself, we happen to have a really high compatibility because we share one or two things, totally random if you ask me. But it is also true that as i mentioned, big part of what i listen i don’t do on my laptop so i don’t get to have all those scrobbles.
Wait what!? You have two!? Woow, super sick! This is mine:
And what, you’re moving to Peru? How come? So you speak spanish? Where are you from!? Why are you moving? (so many questions i know) My main language is spanish cause i’m venezuelan, but i’ve been living in Italy for some years now! I mean, we could totally speak spanish if you want to!
Ohhh thanks for the reco! Never heard of them myself, but as you, it’s not that i’m keeping up too much with stuff. I always meant to, but between life, studies and anime i can’t seem to balance to get some time to keep myself updated on the latest releases. I mean, i even miss stuff from my favorite bands which is SUPER SAD IF YOU ASK ME. Anyways, did you get to listen to the latest EW album, any thoughts on it? Loving it or hating it? As for myself, i can’t say it’s one of my favorite from them, but if i look at it as another random album i really enjoy it, it’s just that when i think of EW i think of that really dirty and heavy sound, but i’m always open to changes, just that when something is SO GOOD, it’s hard not to miss it.
I'm checking your favs and now we share Mononoke; i recently watch it and felt in love with it, what a piece of art it is! Also, i've been meaning to pick Mushishi again (it's been on hold forever) but at the end i never do. I also see you recently finished Gankutsuou, it is on my PTW and i'm always temped to pick it up, how was it? Did you love it or hate it?
Dudeeeee! Happy New Year!!! May this next year be a great one for you! A big hug!
PD: don't worry, don't worry. I actually thought you had forgotten about it :( but it's great to hear back from you even now! I'll get back to you next year, lolz!
WHY OUR LAST.FM COMPATIBILITY IS SO SHEETY?!?!?!?!?!
I don't understand. Like, it doesn't even make any sense. It's true thou that many many stuff i don't have there, because for years i've been listening music mostly in my FIIO (last.fm doesn't support its scrobble) but still, i don't get it. I'm upset about this *lol*
I'm such a big fan too, i have like a t-shirt and all so figure how much i love them <3
Oh, My Queen Bishamon is life. She's all. I adore her. We can totally share her thou :D
Btw i'm sending you both friend requests for MAL and Last.fm...oh sheet, Last.fm now uses this follow thing. Ok.
Btw have you heard this? I found it not long ago and was dying (i mean i really liked it >.<)
That is just so beautiful. I am an Electric Wizard fan myself so i can totally appreciate the genius of your name and your original intentions of using Funeralopolis.
Pretty sure I've been open regarding how a lot of my reviewing style was based on him and several other Internet reviewers (Doug Walker, Todd Nathanson, Jim Sterling, Eurogamer writers, etc.). He's the most obvious one though because I'm an addict for cartoonish/pop-culture metaphors to describe stuff. I don't intentionally use his lines though. I just think of the angle I want to review the anime and it comes to me automatically.
Thanks, you do too. Loved Mushishi, Tatami Galaxy, and Samurai Champloo. Admittedly, I haven't seen Nichijou before, despite of hearing how hilarious it is.
