Report ZNoteTaku's Profile

I'm not sure what I'm doing. I think I took a wrong turn somewhere...

Welcome to my MAL profile! Feel free to poke around all you like, or drop a message!

I'm on AniList, and more active there: https://anilist.co/user/ZNote/
I also have a YouTube channel where I review anime and occasionally manga. Some of my content is right below:











































My philosophy for reviews are to strike the proper balance between the technical workings of the show/film I am watching and the personal attachment element. In my understanding, the difference between a "review" and "criticism" is that a review is a personalized take on an aesthetic object, an evaluation based on your own aesthetic ideals and constructions. "Criticism" is largely rooted in the technical analysis of the object in question, or how that object relates to some other larger collective body as a whole (e.g. how a group of people respond to this thing, but not necessarily you).

As such, though I may delve into the technicalities of what a show/film may contain, these will be tipped in favor of my own personal reactions, with a presence of criticism if needed. I spend much time deciding on what numerical value to assign a show/film, weighing its technique with my feelings.

A disclaimer: if I start watching a show and it has less than 12-14 episodes, I WILL finish it. Shows that are longer have episode 12 as the cutoff point should I choose to stop.
