I watched (the original) yugioh, pokemon, digimon, beyblade etc as a kid. Maybe I knew it was anime, maybe I didn't. Then, back in the mid 2000's, Cartoon Network had a slot of time called Adult Swim during the late night and early morning hours (maybe it still exists? I don't have cable). It showed cartoons and anime aimed at adults, which I was not at the time, but I was an insomniac with nothing better to do at midnight. I got hooked on Inuyasha, Wolfs Rain, and Which Hunter Robin. I saw some episodes of Cowboy Bebop, Trigun, Fullmetal Alchemist, and probably others I don't remember. I probably still have VHS tapes with Whitch Hunter Robin and Inuyasha episodes recorded on them....
In college, I found out you could watch anime online! (For those that don't know, it wasn't all that common to watch your favorite shows online back then. Netflix only started offering a streaming-only plan a year before that. TV's didn't come with streaming built in. Hulu was three years old and cost $8... If you watched anime online, you were either watching each episode in three parts on youtube or watching it on some illegal site. And oh boy was that fun (sarcasm). Ads, popups, and half naked female game characters asking if you wanted to play a game when all you wanted to do was pause the video... I don't know how we did it, but we did.) I watched over a 200 anime during that time and wrote reviews as a hobby.
After college, I didn't watch much, just the occassional show on Netflix or something. But I've gotten back into it recently. It's been fun to rewatch a lot of the shows I watched in college, and some even got new seasons since then! I've been watching a few new ones on crunchyroll too.
Some of my favorite animes are: Mirai Nikki TV, Rainbow: Nisha Rokubou no Shichinin, Inuyasha, Code Geass, Attack on Titan, Arslan Senki (2015), Junjou Romantica, No. 6, Steins Gate, Another, Angel Beats, Jormungand, Black Butler, and more.
My least favorites that I have actually fully watched (or close to) are: Shakugan No Shana Season 3, Chaos;Head, Death Parade, Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu, D-Fragments, SOA.
Favorite Movie: Kiki's Delivery Service (No matter how old I get or my tastes change, I like this movie)

In response to your ace attorney review:
I think you're just too stupid to understand. It is foolish to listen to someone that does not listen to you. EVERY point of criticism you're making is being explained in the game. Saying you didn't play the game and then deleting comments telling you're wrong isn't the way to fix the wrong things you're saying. That's just living your life in denial. Also, it's an anime. No one says it has to take over the real court system. That'd be a pretty boring story if they did. It doesn't have to be real. I am not blaming you for rating it that low, because the anime is really bad. But at least give it criticism for what it does wrong, rather than comparing it to a real court session. And this will be the last time i'm commenting on anything you do, because apparently you're just too dense to understand. The fact you can't stand to take criticism if you make the wrong points in your reviews, makes me wonder why you're reviewing at all. Maybe you should consider doing something else in your spare time then. I also received criticism for some of my reviews, even up to the point of 'Go kill yourself' insults, but deleting every single thing you disagree on, makes me think you don't respect any one else's opinion but your own. Once again, don't make reviews then, or at least don't put them online on a public anime community. These are my last words to you, because I'm getting really tired of this. I have better things to do with my life than trying to talk some common sense into you.
Just go delete some more comments. That's not childish at all :)
Yes, all of it. The only 'insult' in there was clown. I think there are worse things than that. Regarding your one episode reviews, I'd say that's a very decent word to describe them.
Salutations,
Ah well, we can have a normal conversation after all. I do appreciate you replying to the post I’ve made.
First, as normal as it may seem to post an anime's first opinion, I hardly consider it a review. Therefore I am a firm believer in that such posts belong on a personal blog and not a review website. I have tried to hammer on this plenty of times, but alas my pleas have, more often than not, gone unnoticed. You can't really argue with a pubescent teenager, which majority of such ‘reviews’ usually belongs to.
What is also beyond me is how people can judge an anime, book, movie or pretty much anything by just quickly glancing at it and writing it off as tripe. Case very well pointed with Occult;Nine as the score it has right now (2.7) is abysmal. I would just personally hold off any sort of opinion and would watch the whole thing before actually writing on it.
Secondly, reviews in my opinion are two things: guidelines for somebody either in doubt or oblivion about something OR a way to voice your thoughts on a particular matter. When I opened Occult;Nine, I once again saw a single episode biased rant akin to: anime bad, too hard to understand, breasts, HULK SMASH! Hardly any sort of promotion for somebody on the fence about the anime, if you get my drift. This has, once again, sparked this whole thing we have going on now.
Lastly to justify what you deemed like disrespectful comment(s), I do have to apologise somewhat because this is how I am. I see no point in sugarcoating something therefore I would rather just give a dose honest and rock-hard reality. Such approach usually just works best, even if it seems low by most of the society, partially because nobody nowadays can take any criticism.
Well be it what it is now, I do hope Occult;Nine turns out be more like Steins;Gate and less like Chaos;Head the anime.
The comment you deleted wasn't rude or hateful at all...
