There is never a balance between Light and Darkness...
The above is how I feel right now about the state of the world. Anyway *ahem* move along!
Greetings. Just a regular fan of anime and video games. Trying to survive each day with huge backlogs on each. Been a fan of anime since when I was a kid, but never actually fully committed to it as a hobby until late 2011 when I decided to make myself relax after long days of college lectures and assignments. So since then, I was fully committed to watch a lot of anime series/movies. Of course, for some little fun, I occasionally watch some anime shorts and music videos to boost the completion count!
I tend to watch anime from all kinds of genres...maybe not as much sports and horror themed though. I also tend to dig into anime shows that have a niche audience (discovered a lot of them since 2011). No point sticking with mainstream stuff when there are so much hidden gems out there that are more better than mainstream ones, which are sometimes overrated or over-hyped. This goes for video games as well.
My most favourite genre is slice of life (SoL), especially Iyashikei, which is my most favourite branch of the genre. For me, SoL is a very unique genre which is not really known to a lot of anime fans (in my region anyway), so it's great to actually watch something that hardly anyone watch. Other genres I like are Shounen, Action, Adventure and Comedy. These of course tend to overlap with each other.
Here are my top anime OP/ED songs: https://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=739819

How I rate anime shows:
10/10 - "And…Oh, I got to tell you, it was perfect. Perfect! Everything, down to the last, minute details." - Homelander (The Boys)
9/10 - So close! It just lacks a tiny bit that makes me mark it as a masterpiece, could be the conclusion of the story such as cliffhangers, or the development of the characters. OSTs could also be the reason. Some of these might be re-watched in the future.
8/10 - Overall it's a great anime. But, it just lacks certain parts in the story, character development or overall formula structure that can drive the whole show to a close. Something just felt missing from the show and makes me wish it was there.
7/10 - Has a good promise of being a great show. But, a lot of times the storyline and/or the characters fall flat. Might have some development but never reached a max point.
6/10 - The edge of the cliff. Most parts of the anime is quite bad. Barely watchable at least. But I cannot make a higher score when the plot and characters are underdeveloped. The OSTs can be a hit or miss too.
5/10 - From here on out it's baaaad. Stupid characters, stupid dialogues, stupid behaviours, stupid plot and overuse of certain tropes. Might drop the show unless it's a short which I might finish it (which would be a miracle).
4/10 - Oh man...I'll literally struggle to finish the show, unless it's a short or a music video which are somehow listed on MAL. Everything is just bad, not even one thing I can think of is good. Maybe a bit of OSTs might save it but...not really on the overall scale.
3/10 - I literally just gonna go "BOOOO!!!" at this point.
2/10 - Pretty sure I'll drop the show at this point.
1/10 - "Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh........." - Patrick Star (Spongebob Squarepants).
My top 10 anime characters
I would love to pick more but I decided to put only one favourite character from each anime.
My top 10 anime franchises
Certain seasons/story arcs are better than other seasons/story arcs, but this is on the overall scale.
My top 10 video games
I enjoy both Asian and Western games. The list is a mix of mainstream and hidden gems. I played more hidden gems than mainstream games I think.

11. Life is Strange
12. The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II

I hope this year has been very kind to you
and that it made you experience and learn a lot of things in life
and many more in the coming years.
As time passes by, people come and go
and we experience some unpleasant things
and we feel like it's not worth the effort moving forward
But I hope that too passes for you, no matter how long it takes
All the best in your goals and endeavors in life
In that clip I sent you
And this is the video you are talking about
Endless Eight arc...aagghhh!!!!
I see our rating system is very similar. I also use 5 for things that I already don't enjoy and 6 for anime "barely on the enjoyable side"
Isn't your pfp now an Omnimon variant though? Zwart Defeat right? this one?
I've only seen the anime for that one. I heard it went weirder than Kodomo no Jikan in the manga. At least KnJ actually waited until the girl graduated
Service as in phone signal or Customer Service? What do you mean?
It's also a bit more respected compared to the west, who desperately tries to make it acceptable, but due to stuff like the whatever podcast, sex work is all the more frowned upon
Lol, how does that even work? hahaha. Imagine if you stop at some random episode and the kid picks from there without prior knowledge
Yeah, I'm probably one of the few people with an (almost) exclusive weeb music taste among my peers lol
and yes! Tifa is amazing! Cloud is my baby but Tifa is like, best girl~ last order was what got me into weeb world xD
how has life been? I forgot like, everything we talked about before lol
(I'm kinda active againnn)
I'll link the screenshots in case you reply late:
Wargreymon <> Metalgarurumon
Blitzgreymon <> Cresgarurumon
The Digimon on the layout now is Omnimon Alter-S. I find it hilarious that you'd ask that since you have an Omnimon variant for a pfp lmao
True, I like it but I wouldn't read that far into it. I've also started dropping some manga recently since manga was never really my thing
Yeah, makes one kind of anxious for what the future has to offer? Another pandemic? UWU
lmao have you seen this?
lmao how many do you have backlogged? Wait no, forget I asked HAHA
Right now that doesn't even cross my mind, so many expenses smh
Me neither, I stopped in the 2010s, around the time of Justin Bieber
You are talking about the end part of After the Rain right? Or have you read the manga? Irl there's a lot, as long as you have money
Speaking of dating and housing crisis, let me share you this:
I actually liked Go-Onger. But I agree they are too childish. Did you know Kegaleshia was portrayed by a pornstar? Looked up her videos as soon as I learned about it back then and damn I swear sentai feels different with that knowledge. Garo too, as they also employ ex-pornstars
Turns out you're almost halfway. Sevens and Go Rush works like that. It bores you with kiddy stuff then suddenly becomes interesting. I wouldn't assure Go Onger becomes THAT interesting though
Lol, yeah in 3rd world places like this it's probs cheaper for you to get a house or smth lol
I think I'll buy at least 1 or 3 months for myself by the end of this year but yes, agreed
I think Aaron Smith hates the UK lmao. Anyway the song is Dancin by Aaron Smith. You can look it up and hopefully you'll see an unbanned version somewhere
I've been having them for as long as I remember tbh. But I am aware it gets worse as it goes. So that's why we have to be strong
What's the last one you remember watching? Gokaiger?
I agree but only because those people are shallow. There's many meaningful things you can do with money. Donating to Charity just scratches the surface. You can lend some friends money and strengthen your relationship by getting them through college or like a terrible sickness. Pay someone's debt or pay for lessons on skills that you can then do to help others
They are. But I promise they don't disappoint. They're just lols and fun in the beginning but it gets really good as it grows. They also introduced their own summoning method there - Maximum
And then this:
I recently bought a new PC last month and I had Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge as well as the old Warcraft downloaded on it. Apparently it also comes with PS C6 or something. Too bad I don't know how to use it
Yes. So let me clarify it again. The normal payment is either monthly or annually and you can only subscribe it for yourself.
The gift is either good for 1 or 3 months and that is paid then it generates a link which activates the service. Whoever clicks on the links gets it, and that's why you can both use it as well as give it as gift
Oh damn, it was a video of Umi Sonoda dancing with this playing in the background:
lmao yeah that song is fucking hilarious
We're both getting old mate. Just one more year and I'll be on my thirties, damn
Looks wise yes but Zenkaiger started a new era for Sentai. Kiramager is just shiny Toqger and I didn't really like it. Zenkai onwards is good. I really loved how serious the second arc of King Ohger was. I just finished it yesterday. But Boomonger or whatever it's name is look like it's not really good. I actually plan not to watch Gotchard too, if not for that Kamen Rider Legend guy. I'm such a diehard Decade fan that I have to give it a try
I agree with your point but the greatest things in life costs an arm and a leg, speaking from both observation and experience. And as I once heard from a wise old man, Power is simply the means to do anything, and money gives you that, so I'm not talking supervillain stuff (albeit that'd be cool) but rather just solving most of our family's problems
Regarding Batman I actually just replaced it with the Darklord Archetype from Yugioh
I haven't seen Cardfight Vanguard but that sounds like a good idea. Should we also include Sevens and Go Rush?
No lol. I was talking about you, if you plan to start using bbcode layouts again. I went back to them just today. To play on the colors / moonlight meme
I was talking about the MAL supporter subscription. Just like Discord Nitro it now can be gifted to someone else, this feature happened 7 years after MAL supporter was even a thing lol. And I was saying I got this gift 4 times last year, with the first being on December 2022 but I count it lol
I remember seeing this
and apparently that song was a meme
have you heard of this?
*clears throat* Roko's basilisk
