Welcome to my profile and thank you for your attention.

I am a Computer Technician and Systems Analyst. Basically, I like to read and follow the backstage of Brazilian television, read and update myself with news from Brazil and the world and follow topics related to technology, such as Windows, Linux, Android and security; I like to listen to ani / tokusongs and instrumentals that most caught my attention from the animes I watched, as well as some 70 and 80's music like ABBA, Europe, Scorpions, besides Brazilian country music.

My first contacts with Japan, during my childhood, were with The King Of Fighters (and mainly, Mai Shiranui), Tekken 3 (maybe, although I barely played it right), Digimon (a brief lapse of the 5-year-old's memory first season, although he only watched full Digimon Frontier much later) and, later, with a cartoon called Timothy Goes to School (because of the character Yoko, a Japanese anthropomorphic kitten) and Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi.

But the first contact with a Japanese animation only happened, in fact, in 2008, at my 11 years old, with Pokémon (I only watched until the 12th season, the last one shown on Brazilian Free-to-Air TV until today, besides some more things) and, a shortly afterwards, with The Knights of the Zodiac / Saint Seiya (which influenced me a lot to like the songs of the composer Seiji Yokoyama and, later, thanks to Space Battleship Yamato, pay attention to the performances of Kazuko Kawashima and Hiroshi Miyagawa).

But everything changed on November 4 of that year, when I had my first contact with the Yu-Gi-Oh! Franchise, in which I am a fan and follower until today (although I don't have much contact with the game itself), through DVDs parallel, from episode 107 of Duel Monsters (only after I watched from 57 and after a long time, I was able to watch from the 1st episode, in addition to the Toei series and its spin-offs, where GX was the one that most captivated me and is my favorite until today, going through 5D's, ZEXAL, ARC-V, VRAINS and the 1st episode of SEVENS and GO! Rush, which I started to follow more from a distance).

Until 2011 I only followed Japanese productions via Brazilian Free-to-Air TV, going through Dinosaur King, Inazuma Eleven, Digimon Frontier and Madan Senki Ryukendo, until I got a computer and had an internet connection, where I could see the complete subtitled Choujin Sentai Jetman. And then I had contact with my first seasonal anime: Rosario + Vampire, where the protagonist Moka Akashiya has captivated (probably influenced by Yugi and her alter ego), in addition to the ecchi (which was new to me) has caught my attention (although the 2nd season was very disappointing, as it was for many). And shortly thereafter, thanks to an image, I followed Infinite Stratos and discovered the harem genre and a protagonist with a lack of attitude.

After a hiatus, thanks to my brother, I followed Sword Art Online, whose narrative, characters and the novel won me over (even seeing episodes out of order - maybe the fact that I watched certain soap operas influenced me, such as Maria la del Barrio and La Usurpadora) and, until today , the 1st season I consider as an example of how to make entertainment (even with the problems and criticism of some).

Then, I followed my first season simultaneously, which was Spring 2013, as Oregairu, Photokano and Shingeki no Kyojin. At the same time, I watched Hagure Yuusha no Estetica / Aestethica of a Rogue Hero, Highschool DxD, Love Hina, To Heart, Mirai Nikki and never stopped (all the details are on my list of all the more than 1000 anime I've watched to date).

And, slowly, much under the influence of blogger, youtuber and Systems Analyst Marco Abreu, maintainer of the Intoxianime website, I started to understand a little more about Japanese animation and, little by little, I acquired a more critical sense in evaluating animes. For this reason, I basically follow the metric of the MAL scores, trying to be as fair as possible in my evaluations, evaluating the pros and cons of the work, but without letting myself be influenced too much by personal opinion (if it is well directed and executed - it has a logic and holds the narrative to the end, it avoids breaking continuity and, above all, it does not underestimate the viewer - if the design is consistent, if the animation is decent and, most importantly, if it is good entertainment, regardless of criticism and messages brought by the work) and, particularly, I do not intend to give a score of 10 in any work for knowing the patterns of Japanese animation, which, particularly, would not be consistent on my part, even if the anime is a master in practically all aspects.

Currently, I started to marathon season animes more than to watch simultaneously, hoping to finalize their release to be able to watch next and, in the meantime, I seek animes more focused on romance, drama, action, adventure, slice of life, suspense and fantasy. (from time to time some science fiction and / or mystery - but almost always anime comes with built-in comedy, which I don’t always appreciate, but I end up revealing it), avoiding those with more than 26 episodes, which has become a increasingly difficult task, apart from that I no longer have the same interest as a few years ago, but despite that, I hope to be able to contribute, in some way, to clarify doubts, convey opinions of some anime and influence the decision making about what to watch.
