ThePatches

According to independent testing, ThePatches is chii*

I tend to like the more inane and silly stuff. Doesn't mean I don't like a show with real content, I just gravitate toward lighter fare.

At this stage in my life, I want to be entertained when I watch anime. I don't take it seriously and therefore rarely feel negatively about anything I watch.

Kushitokiku would have me mention that I blog about anime for Otakuberries, which has proven to be waaay more fun than expected.

I was joyously dragooned into being a site reviewer here at Anime Planet. If your anime watching and English skills are up to the task, you should join up, too. Check out the Site Reviewer Recruitment Drive.

Upcoming reviews:

• Kashimashi: Girl Meets Girl (In Progress)
• Blue Drop
• Sakura Wars TV
• Oruchuban Ebichu (In Progress)
• Bakemonogatari (possible)

Notes about Ratings and Dropped Shows:

I will use my A-P ratings generally for my enjoyment of a series, not it's overall quality. BUT, I drop things for strange reasons that might actually be quite good. So, yeah... Don't read to much into my raw ratings, if you want to know how I feel about something in particular, just ask. You'll get a much better response.

Site Reviews vs. User Reviews

Site reviews are awesome, fun, and challenge me to think hard about anime that I watch. Site reviews take A LOT of time. Consequently, I will occasionally post user reviews of shows which I don't intend/have time to review formally. The scores in my user reviews are MUCH more likely to be inflated or inconsistent, because I haven't been thinking carefully about the anime while agonizing over the review's content. OR, I've put up a user review because I have an opinion, but I don't quite understand it.

The short of it is, user reviews are going to be a LOT closer to how I FEEL about anime as opposed to what I THINK of it. I know using two rating systems seems disingenuous, but that's how it's going to be. You have been so warned.
