# Me
25, male, United States, Network Analyst
Been watching movies since I was a kid and I've always preferred to understand WHY things were the way they were. Taking it to media, I seek to understand artistic mediums and what makes storytelling good both in general and through the medium.
My Letterboxd: Where I rate movies I watch (when I watch them).
I also play games, mostly OSU!, Destiny 2, and League of Legends.
If you want to talk about anything or my profile is interesting, send me a msg. Everyone could use more social interaction :)

# I'm decently pretentious about Anime/Manga
Shows/Manga are rated based on how much I enjoy it, how well it ages for me, and how interesting it was to me. Number 1 factor is how interesting it was; if I'll remember the work and appreciate it long after, it'll score highly. "The best stories are the ones that teach you something about the human condition."
High correlation between existentialism and the above qualities
Trying to watch anime critically and not just passively consuming it. Except for when I'm tired then I just watch trash.
Paused list is for anime/manga I'm gonna go through next.

3/10 is the quality I believe most 'average' shows to be
