Hey guys and gals! I am currently a college student studying mathematics. I enjoy anime, halo, reading, heavy metal, and ballroom dancing.
Although in the end, I believe every review and rating is subjective, I like to think a little bit before I rate most of the shows I've seen, and generally try to consider several different factors, although I don't have a set formula for doing so. I enjoy discussing different viewpoints about shows I've seen, with people I've met, since I think that most people have some constructive new perspectives to contribute to my thoughts about a show, whether their opinions are positive or negative.
Up until recently, I actually spent a lot of time running an IRC chatroom that I started with some fellow ap.com-ers. Feel free to stop by, it's #ourroom on rizon.net . Although for the next few months, I'll have reduced activity in the channel, due to a personal need to concentrate on progress with my degree, I'd be happy to set up a pm session on irc, or respond to comments here on ap.com, although the response time might be somewhat slower.
I am officially looking for new anime recommendations! I need something fantastical, engrossing,preferably (although not necessarily) dark, something I can become fully immersed in, something that makes me appreciate it both as a work of art and as an exercise in thought. Kara no Kyoukai left a big impression on me and, in terms of anime anyways, I haven't really moved past it since I saw it months ago. I've seen comedies, romances, dramas, and even some more fantasy/horror stuff since then, but none of it really left me satisfied. I have an ever growing list of shows that I want to watch, most of which seem mildly promising, but in the end I wonder how many more of them will be disappointments! Please, if you think you have something that I might enjoy, let me know!

Sorry it really took me long this time to respond. Real life needs my urgent and outmost attention.
The reason why I used the word 'otaku' on my profile was because the Japanese definition of the word doesn't apply to me simply because living in Japan doesn't make me a Japanese (sadly), hence my English capacity. I hope I didn't make that sound sarcastic.
If you have the chance I strongly suggest that you should come and visit. See it for yourself. Stories doesn't do it justice. And if you have the chance to travel all over the country that would be even better. You should be prepared for the language and cultural barriers though. But no matter what don't let that scare you.
Regarding Beck as I've mentioned I haven't watched it so I can't really say if it was good or not. But I do know one thing, everytime Koyuki has to sing the director decided to just do a fadeout. A friend who watched it said that was rather frustrating. I don't know why but I just don't have the interest to watch live-actions. Maybe because while it is very demanding on my part as a fan to say, I think live-action actors can never and will never do the characters justice. That they will always fall short. That they will never compare. I know it sounds close-minded but well that's is how I see it. By the way, the actor who played Koyuki also played Kenshin in Rurouni Kenshin.
As for the popularity of anime here, last Tuesday I went to a bookstore. Upon entering I was surprised and amused in what I found around the entrance of the shop. Do you happen to know Sanji from One Piece? The guy/character has his own cookbook!

Hey sorry for the late response well incredibly late response, but I watch things based off of how I feel that day and generally I don't change my mind unless I hear reasons other wise. I may look at what you suggested after I catch up on my detective conan though.
Konnichiwa!
