-my gateways: Voltron Legendary Defender (non-anime), the Avatar franchise (also non-anime), Star Wars Visions, Silent Voice, Evangelion, and Saiki K.

-usually watch English dubs (two big reasons I'd watch subbed is if a dub doesn't exist, or the dub is apparently really bad)

Here's my (loose) grading scale (I use .5 decimals more and go up to 100 for reviews but this is the general idea):

10: Mastahpeece (the rarest of the rare)
9: Most Outstanding (Rufus)
8: Great/Most Excellent (adventure)
7: Good (the sweet spot to be in)
6: Just good enough (OK)
5: Eh/meh/whatever/I don't care/fine I guess?/serviceable, don't really know how to feel, etc.
4: Below average/fairly bad
3: Bad. Plain and simple.
2: Why
1: Ugh
0: bruh

I don't review movies on here unless they really mean a lot to me. For fuller reviews on anime films, check out my Letterboxd: link .

I try to judge things based on a mix of enjoyment and critical lens. I believe there's two "strict" disciplines when it comes to rating something: a critical lens, and the enjoyment lens. Both are separate, but that also means I want to try and combine the two, taking both into account, so as to reach a verdict of what the "true" score is then, factoring that.

My gateway into things that were anime-esque was Voltron: Legendary Defender, back in middle school (I'm that one guy who actually liked seasons 7 & 8, lol). Then in 2019, I watched Avatar: the Last Airbender (yeah, that's right. I watched it a year BEFORE it got its 2nd wave of popularity on netflix in 2020. Uptop fellaz). The first anime I ever properly watched was the Star Wars Visions anthology (2021).

2022 was the year I went "welp, guess I'm a weeb now." Watched and obsessed over Evangelion in May of that year, and the rest is history. So much anime to watch, so little time (college, getting a job, driving, planning your goals, scheduling, all that life stuff).

Genres I'm most drawn to:
-mecha
-action
-slice-of-life
-comedy (but y'know, the REALLY good ones. Like Gintama and Saiki K., basically)
-romance (again, the good ones)

Genres I'm not most drawn to:
-isekai
-battle shonen (unless they're cream of the crop shonen)
-ecchi (unless it's no-BS vanilla)

more personal info: mosquitos love me, grew up with super Catholic parents (religion is the biggest damn mixed bag of my life), and I hate haircuts (shaving feels awesome though).
