Thanks for the request. Well, I'm from Peru.
Glad to see another Thermae Romae fan. Still waiting for the next redux chapter...

It’s not as punchy as my usual favorites, but the chill vibe is a nice change of pace. It avoids the cringey and annoying characters I usually see in this genre. Well, except for Himmel. I’m not a fan of him. The characters feel genuine and the peaceful atmosphere fits my taste. Even though the story isn't super intense, the art and music are amazing, and the pacing eventually grew on me. I still don’t quite get the massive hype, though. It’s good, but I don't think it deserves the #1 spot.

Hi. I liked your favs. You have good taste man

Yeah, I mainly have it a shot because one of my friends seemed to really like it but I guess I’m just not into slice of life as much as him, but I really like fantasy stuff, especially the cool battles, so it was a bit underwhelming that that took more of a back seat for the characters and less of being the main plot

Maybe. Sakamoto Days was an early drop, and the reason for why they got that low of a score isn't the same. The ratings would look different if I dropped both at the same time and didn't know anything beyond that point. It's because I've read more of Vinland, watched 2 seasons of its anime, and know the direction it will go in by the end. For anime, I rated VS S1 5/10, since I like that portion of the series more. S2 drags it down for me, as well as everything I've read/been told/shown about post-S2 sections of the manga.

Thx for the friend request ♡

Vinland & SnK part 2 was epic >>

nice to meet ya. !

Yes I've watched the anime and I've read the manga, it's just the way you've titled your interest stack makes it seem like you're suggesting that people should watch the anime instead of reading the manga even though the manga expands on things that are missing in the anime such as yashiro's backstory and has a better ending.

You couldn't have read the erased manga if you're including it in your "manga that should be watched as the anime" interest stack.

I'm just looking for someone to talk to about animes, even if it's never talked about it's fun for me to follow the tastes of my friends

Sure, but be aware that I'm neither the most talkative person nor the most active one. (⁠・⁠–⁠・⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ

Yeah, same. I do have vague ceilings for 6-9, however. So a big chunk of what I like ends up with 6-7, regardless of how much I enjoyed it. I might eventually formalize a rating scale, but I'm still not sure.

Well... all people rate with a mixture of objectivity and subjectivity. But how objective you can be is fairly limited. It's not the same as a multiple choice test which is "objective" in the sense that of the four choices, 1 of them is the right answer. My rating will tend to not drop as much with good visuals, writing, etc. An obvious objective reason to give a lower rating will be if the animation is like a slideshow. But anyone who tries to say they are an "objective rater" is just fooling themselves, I feel. My enjoyment is also often based on objective measures, so it's not even fully correct to call that subjective.

There's also a difference in what anime fans prioritize in comparison to myself. I feel anime fans are often very character/story-oriented, and their sense for aesthetics is not always that great. Like I see so many ultra-popular shows that have stiff animation, poor composition, and static directing.

Who is you guys? People who give negative reviews? "elitists" or something like that? I guess it's easy for me to agree that it deserves at least a 4 since I gave it a 4. I know a few people who gave it lower, though. Although I will say there are films/series that have entertainment value, good work put into them, quality, etc., and people will still give them like a 1, usually for more subjective reasons. For example, I rated Dr. Stone a 1, not because it was necessarily that bad, but it just irritated me immensely. I've noticed ratings can also tank when people are offended, so ecchi is a prime example there. Some people also have different ways of scaling their ratings that make them appear harsher than they really are. Like I want to say plenty of people on MAL view 5-6 as practically bad, whereas I think those are fine ratings. 5 starts to shift towards indifference or some kind of deeper flaw, though.

There are a few users I can think of with averages way lower than me who dish out 1s like they are nothing, even for stuff I'd give 3-6 or higher. And these are the people where I think anime has become too much of a habit for them, and they just watch everything, and become more easily irritated by certain tropes they see or they're not getting the same dopamine rush from finding their "treasures." Or something lol.

I saw your forum post on Edgerunners. The one about degeneracy. I totally get it.

I've been conflicted about whether or not I should watch it. Usually I would be all over this because I friciking LOVE anything cyberpunk. But I heard about how much crap was in it that I would rather not have in my brain.

Did you enjoy it tho?
