I'm just an average woman who enjoys watching anime in her free time. I've been watching it off and on since I was in high school. I hold an interest in animation in general, particularly old school, hand-drawn animation. (I've even attempted it myself...all 13 seconds of it. Hehe.) But what I really enjoy about anime specifically, is the variety.
I'm always looking out for new things to watch, and I'm open to just about anything. I really like fantasy as a genre, and I tend to prefer more serious anime to comedies, but I'll watch anything with an interesting story. I've often been pleasantly surprised when trying out a new genre or style, only to find a new favorite.
My ratings are mainly based on my own personal enjoyment, although I do attempt to have some objectivity. I also (usually) keep anime series and movies separate in my ratings, just because it's easier for me to keep track of it that way.
I have not read a lot of manga or light novels. I prefer animation.
I'm happily married to @aethercowboy. He doesn't update on this site much, but we do watch a lot of anime together.
With that said, I hope that you had a wonderful spring.
I actually can't wait for summer and I'm thinking of watching Star Ocean EX after having played The Second Story R (Chisato Madison was better in the original).
I'm also thinking about reading indie comics after going through some advanced Japanese like particles. Min Chinese (like Southern Min or Taiwanese in layman terms) uses particles that often, but at its particles have more simplicity with more consistent grammatical function than its Japanese counterpart.
Anyway milady, I hope that summer will be something amazing.
Other than that, I hope that you and your family are having a wonderful Year of the Dragon.
I was re-watching Twilight Venom after playing Wild Arms 2 in Japanese. I replayed that forgotten JRPG because Sony didn't translate the story correctly, putting to many words into Akifumi Kaneko's mouth. Like Grandia (also forgotten), it also has some romance for the ladies.
After finding out Kaneko-san's involvement in that anime Symphogear, I decided to put it in my PTW list. It's not western like Wild Arms or space westerns, but it's said to have references to Wild Arms. I might watch it some time before Armed Fantasia comes out which should have had an artstyle that fits in with the western genre better.
At least Armed Fantasia will be more like Trigun than Wild Arms 4 and 5 which are generic pseudo sci-fi. It'll also be a mix of western and steampunk, more like neo western. It'll be the true Wild Arms 4 going back to its western roots.
Other than that, I'm definitely catching up with the Silent Möbius sequel that came out ten years ago called QD. Unfortunately, it's Japanese only, but even so, I'm glad Silent Möbius, Wild Arms 2 and Sakura Wars 1-4 have given me a reason to study Japanese all this time.
I feel sorry for Wild Arms 2 getting marred by bad translations. Its got worse translations than GBC JRPGs.
Your daughter would probably have a better chance playing Revelations The Demon Slayer (part of the Megami Tensei franchise that came to the west before everyone knew Persona), Crystalis, Dragon Warrior, Metal Walker (like Pokémon, but with robots) or Lufia.
After growing tired of those newer Pokémon releases or Pokémon being too mainstream, I might as well check out Metal Walker. Metal Walker must have higher frame rates or better animations than those ill-fated gen 8 games (expecting customers to pay more for mediocre extended content or DLC).
