Hello anime world! My name is Shawn :D

Over nearly a decade of actively watching anime, goodness its closing in fast isn't it, I've seen a fair share of growth and change in this industry, for better and for worse. But while fads come and go, one thing that doesn't change is my great appreciation for all the great things this industry provides to the many anime fans all across the world. As with any fandom, you'll run into some bad eggs, and hav some impassioned differences of opinion, but nonetheless this is a community that breeds unity, creativity, and so much joy. I might be busier than I've ever been before, and I can't keep up with things as well as I used to, but nothing can replace all the joy I've experienced and the great people I've met along the way that the world of anime has brought me. So suffice it to say, I'm still excited to see what the future holds :)

I used to have a lot of other rambling stuff on here, but it was so out of date so yeah... oh well -_-

Regarding my ratings, I do kinda try keep to tabs on those every so often. Considering I haven't written reviews in forever, I should probably take those down at some point, my star ratings are really the only things that actually matter anymore. I use pretty much a tiered system for my ratings, each tier representing what I feel to be series of similar quality. Of course, the 4.5 and 5 star tier represent shows I really loved (the elite series) and the 4 star tier would be the best of the rest (and that's no slight). And this is an admittedly hard system, so don't shy away f/ something just cause I happen to hav it under 4 stars. And on the flip side, don't necessarily feel the need to gravitiate to something just because I hav it rated high, I've definitely added some heavy bias when it comes to certain personal favorite types of shows, themes, animation styles, etc. Perhaps I'll construct a proper list of them someday. Anywho, I also like to reassess my star ratings as well to maintain some measure of consistency.

I also have an established history of recording what I'm watching ( /have watched) with Lists. Note that these Lists are ranked, though my ongoing list <no longer exists>. Do keep in mind, I only include series which I've watched ( /am watching), so if it's not there, I didn't watch it, so don't complain about it... I kinda eliminated that whole complicated system of how I treated 2-cour series in my Lists, they appear in both seasons, and account for the totality of the series, otherwise its not much of a ranking now is it... Idk how well the lists stand up after all these years, considering longevity and perferences change over time, but the point is:

I have a large catalog of Lists from over the years, check em out!!!

ADDENDUM -- Historically, I had included everything I watched in a given season regardless of where it ranks. That's no longer the case. From now on, to streamline my lists (and frankly give them a little more meaning than just a ranking sheet), for seasonal lists I will only be including those shows which rank at 3 stars or above. I may institute a 3 show minimum if it becomes necessary. In addition, for my annual lists I will only be including those shows which rank at 3.5 stars or above. "Best Of" is supposed to mean something, and especially for a full year's worth of anime, average is not the best. Oh and to that effect, my annual lists will no longer be "Top 10s" but "Best Ofs" which may include more or less than 10 shows.

I do welcome recommendations, but in all honesty unless it's something ongoing or in a coming season, I probably won't get the chance to watch it right away (or anytime soon lol).

Lastly, I keep an open door policy, I'm not one for forums and such but don't be shy, feel free to say hi anytime... I may not have much time these days, but its always nice meeting someone new ^_^

~ ~ Peace ~ ~

Never my fanart by the way, I have no artistic ability.

But if anyone wants to show off their art or just something they found, I'd be more than happy to take a look ^_^

You may have noticed in the past my avas and sigs always came from ongoing series, but now I'm too lazy so I really don't change them haha

ava = Kaori & Kousei f/ Your Lie in April (Perfect Couple <3)
header = Madoka & Homura f/ Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica (Cause its friggin Madoka :P)

Even after all these years, those shows are still pretty nostalgic for me :)

Yep! Made me cry.
I've also read I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. That made me cry too.
I've been wanting to watch it, but I don't wanna go through that pain again.

Well I asked my mum if she wants to go to the cinema to see that new Wonka movie.
It's the first time in a while that I've been free from work over the weekened,
so I might as well make the most of it, even if the weather is terrible. :S

That's cool. :o

That's pretty much what I'm into. I like my casual stuff usually.
Uhh. Nichijou, Wolf Children and I'm a huge fan of the Studio Ghibli movies too.

Ooh! Sounds delicious!

I'm not really watching anything super interesting, just finishing .hack//legend of the twilight which is a pretty old series. I still need to get into watching Frieren at some point. I hear it's pretty good!
