Bio? Well, better left alone.
How I got to this site is a short story: for some reason I happen to be highly interested in visual art and non-mainstream movies. For anime, I don't like it as a generic thing just for being drawn or being Japanese, but there are works there which go far beyond just cartoons, and seeking a way to separate them led me here.
In general, I watch mostly serious seinen movies or series. But, as I've done with the ones most interesting, currently I'm looking into other genres, which have remarkable works as well.

A few words about how I rate anime, if you decide to check my list. 2.5 stands for "met expectations" - I got what was described. 3 means it's good, 3.5, really good, I liked it, and could recommend it. 4 means it's great and I'm going to watch it again, and 4.5 is really for the most immersive ones. And, if I rate as 5, then it also is on my top 5 list. This is all just about impression and not objectivity - I well realize some I've rated 4 are far simpler than some I'e rated 3, but perhaps they had something in them which made me watch them non-stop.
As for the "to watch" list - it doesn't mean I want to watch this, just that I got interested in the name, or a screenshot, or a rec, and tagged it to check out more info someday. If I actually wanted to watch something, I would have watched it already. There is nothing I want to watch now, out of what is released and available to me.
Somewhere around, probably.

You are just completely saving me in the objective therad... your arguments are just so much more clear and concise than I seem to be capable of ^_^ I hope I'm not just getting in your way -.-'
Just wanted to give another shout out for the recommendations... really liking them so far. Keep up the good work!
Mmm, random comedic elements thrown in indeed doesn't always work :/ I was glad that FMA managed to keep such a good balance between the two tones and it just... worked.
As a note though, I notice you don't have a few things in your list that you really should consider watching: Mushishi and Kino's Journey (due to liking Haibane -- these are super intelligent as well; trust me!), Hi no Tori (a personal favorite, it's a looot like Kino and I can't really explain why. Quite, quite epic if you get all the way through it. There's a chance you might like Denno Coil as well but I wasn't a fan.
we seem to score things in a similar fashion ;) maybe I should check out Pumpkin Scissors, after all...
Konnichiwa!
Checked out v3 yet? :p
