Heya, welcome to my profile! I'm currently a student studying Civil/Structural/Transportation 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.
Much to my dismay, I have retired from my position as site reviewer due to the high demand of effort required by my degree. I would like to say thank you to all my readers who enjoyed my work over the years, as you guys are the ones who made it worthwhile. Likewise, to all my readers who hated both me and my writing, thank you as well - the laughs you provided were priceless.
However, that said, I still check the site once or twice a week, so by all means feel free to drop me a line - feedback and criticism are still as welcome as ever.

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.

Hello Sheex!
Just thought I'd let you know that I'm now online at home again. Feel free to drop me an email or something... or even exchange chat handles... I'll be online at some point for a chat I'm sure!
Take care!
Come to think of it, you're right. I guess a review does need to be somewhat biased (*slaps self for not thinking this through). Thank you for clearing that up for me.
But I still think if you make a review completely positive/negatively themed, it cheapens it. It's like painting a picture with only three shades of blue. To me, that's boring. I'd like to see a little more color in there.
Just throwing that out there. And thank you again for your responses. You don't know how many people can't take an objection and like you said, start a flamewar.
Konnichiwa!
Yea it is ^^
