Heya, welcome to my profile! I'm currently a student studying Civil/Structural Engineering who happens to spend his free time with, among a number of other things, both anime and writing. The combination of these two interests brought me to Anime-Planet where I staff write reviews for your reading pleasure. My favorite series generally entail those which have elements of romance and/or fantasy, though I do enjoy well-orchestrated drama as well. Aside from anime, most of time is occupied in my studies, though I do game with friends on a regular basis.
I apologize for my lack of activity, but a hectic summer and likely-hectic upcoming semester have drawn me away from A-P for the time being. I'm not sure when I'll get back in the reviewing swing of things. Also, as a note to everyone who had/has submitted reviews to my email, I haven't had access to it with the site upgrade - I'm not ignoring you! Hopefully it should be back up soon.
REVIEW SCORING:
Since there have some discussions about scoring recently, here are how I view my own scores:
- <5: Not worth watching in my opinion. 3 and 4 are bad, but might have fringe appeal.
- 5: Slightly below average. Worth watching if you enjoy the genre, but generally could have used a lot of polish.
- 6: Average. These series are neither particularly good or bad, but are definitely watchable.
- 7: Good. These series generally keep my interest throughout, and overall I enjoyed watching them through and through. Given that I have a relatively high bar of quality nowadays, the majority of series I watch will fall in this category.
- 8: Great. I thoroughly enjoyed these series and strongly recommend them. The primary difference between a 7 and an 8 for me is level of intrigue, meaning an 8 hooks me in right off the bat and keeps me highly entertained to the end.
- 9: Top of the line. I consider these series to be some of the best ever created.
- 10: None yet!
Some people have also asked me why I use decimals for overall - I use them to indicate a leaning. Generally if I feel an anime is, say, between a 6.5 and a 7.0, I'll show that it's a 6.5 leaning toward a 7.0 by using a score like 6.7. I don't use decimal scores for anything but overall, though.
RECENT REVIEWS (Past 30 Days):
- No recent reviews.
UPCOMING REVIEWS:
- No upcoming reviews aside from, perhaps, Monster in the distant future (weeks away if so.)
For those wondering about my signature:
That would be my cat, Kira. Don't be jealous. Seriously, don't. She's much cuter when she's asleep and her mouth is shut, which isn't often. I said stop being jealous. Do it. Now.

Great Reviews! Your review of Fate/Stay Night is spot on, much to my dismay. I don't know why iv kept watching. Oh yea thats right, im procrastinating from homework. Blah I should have taken your advice and just skipped this one.
Konnichiwa! i liked your review on Jin-Roh but you have to keep in mind that much of the film is reliant on the seting and past publications this movie was based on. by the way good luk with school :P
Great Reviews! You're review of True Tears is one of the most hilarious things I've ever read! I burst out into laughter and shed some tears of my own! Haha
You Rock! No apologies necessary, really. Anyways, I'm probably being an idiot for asking you to clarify, but since I have yet to use the forums, I'm not really sure where I should post my email address for you.
Konnichiwa! Hey Sheex. Thanks for noting that you haven't been able to access the reviews I submitted to your email, because I really was starting to think that my writing was so atrocious that you decided to ignore me until I finally decided to quit sending you stuff. Anyways, hang in there with school, I know how crazy it can get sometimes (or all the time, for that matter.)
You Rock! Urgh, I know the feeling. I always hated having major assignments either due the same day or assigned back to back and expected to be done within the same amount of time. And usually professors don't know that it's more work on them to grade them if they assign them too close :P
Likewise, I'll say hang in there :) Sounds like you're keeping very busy in your schedule as well. Best of luck on your writing exam as well. Don't sweat the first assessment too much - was it one of those types of tests that gave you a random writing prompt or was it something related to your discipline? Usually the random ones are the harder ones to really know what you're coming into, and no matter what your writing ability, if you get one that completely blindsides you, it doesn't always come out the way you want it to.
George Washington? Really? I never knew that XD That officially makes my most interesting tidbit for the day. :P
You Rock! Heya :) Good to hear you've settled okay. I hope the smoking issue with those girls get resolved at some point... I know how annoying it can be. :/ I'll check up on my forum stuff now and drop you a PM. Hope to hear from you soon. Take care and keep up the good work with your studies! :3
You Rock! Yay! I just read your message on my profile today. =)
Re: my thesis: the presentation went very well this summer, but I had a lot of editing to do to the paper in order for it to be suitable for publication. I'm still taking a few classes to the side for my program, but I'm finishing up this Fall b/c my presentation was technically past the deadline for the summer (asdf@#%!).
Things are busy for me right now because I'm inbetween looking for jobs while I'm in school. It's hard considering the current economic market, even in my very busy college town, but it's hitting everyone hard here.
I'm getting back to you a bit belated since I've been having computer problems the last couple of days. I had to send in for a replacement AC adapter that just came in today, so my computer was on the verge of crashing with the battery drain.
Sorry to hear about the unpleasantries on your end :( Though if you feel like letting off some steam, I'm all ears.
Take care, Sheex and hope to hear from you soon!
You Rock! Sheex!! Yay!! :D! *hugs*
Good to hear from ya, golly it has been quite a while! I'm glad you're okay and I completely understand you being busy. Will we see you on here a bit more again now or are things still a bit hectic?
Since our emails I've been thinking about doing some reviews... I started on a review for GunBuster, but I've yet to finish it. I've been a bit occupied myself. Still no improvement on the internet/computer access situation, but I should still be able to check my email everyday like before.
Hope you've settled in your home okay too. How's the kitty? :)
I'd better go for now, I'm already over lunchtiming the computer useage today LOL. Take care! Stay cool! :)
Konnichiwa! Nice ranking system, little more like a movie critic then a fan.
