WanderingSage

Semi-retired dilettante who enjoys him some Japanese entertainment. I primarily enjoy fantasy and science fiction anime and manga. I also enjoy ridiculous slice of life anime for some bizarre reason. Guilty pleasure is some of the major shounen anime, the cheesier the better. I have a soft spot for the un-ironically heroic, no matter its form.

I'm of the questionable opinion that If you aren't approaching life with the zeal and optimism of a shounen protagonist, you're doing something wrong.

I occasionally write opinions and my personal analysis on shows that I find amazing or questionable. They shouldn't be taken too seriously and it's certainly not worth my time, nor yours getting bent out of shape about my subjective opinions.

As for my ratings, they represent my personal enjoyment of the show compared to others that I've watched and not my opinion on quality or story. This is the only factor I can reasonably objectively quantify after all. Did I have fun, or was the show boring? The closer to 100 the score, the more fun and engagement I had. Some masterpiece shows are terribly dull for me, and some trashy shows are fun to watch. "Fun things are fun" as Yui from K-on might say. This is likely why your favorite show is rated lower than you think it should be and should adequately explain why you think I'm an idiot. I apologize if that causes any aneurisms (Evangelion and K-on fans especially. For crying out loud relax. Your shows are fine). As you'll notice I enjoy my fair share of trash and dislike things that are considered masterpieces on occasion. No shame in my game.

My anime watched tracking doesn't list everything I've ever watched or read as I've only started actually recording what I've watched a couple years ago. I've gone through anime watching cycles for 20-25 odd years and recognize quite a few shows and what's changed for good and bad over the years with Japanese entertainment culture. Trying to put some order to the chaos lately as I'm watching and rewatching things and seeing what is currently being recommended.

Feel free to say hi and drop a recommendation. Glad to hear new fun things to watch and meet fellow wanderers.
