Howdy partners! I’m just your average guy who enjoys watching, listening, reading, playing and really just interacting with all forms of media and content. I’ve been told my consistency is the worst thing about me so lets just get this out of the way… most of my reviews are not going to make sense if you read them all back to back. I have a tendency to be picky with some forms of media and not so much with others. I’m a sucker for a good short story, but get that TV show outta my face unless it’s got more than 1 season you feel me?
I like all sorts of different types of genres when it comes to TV, games, movies, and books but you’ll find that I tend to prefer the more story driven examples of these things. For music however, I like it all.
My philosophy on reviews is; everything should be on a consistently inconsistent scale. I use a points system out of 10 to rate everything from shows to movies to music to books and so on and so forth. The consistency is the scale, however the inconsistency is my ability to use the scale. Just because one show with great humor gets a 9/10 for humor doesn’t mean a show equally as funny won’t get an 8/10 in that category every now and again. I recognize this is wrong, but just bare with me.
My overall rating is built on this premise:
- 1-2: This is garbage
- 3-4: I really didn’t enjoy this at all
- 5: While I didn’t love this, I can’t really say it’s terrible and wouldn’t recommend it to you
- 6: This was fine. If you don’t have anything else to read/watch check this out
- 7: Put this on your list to watch/read for sure, but don’t drop everything to do so
- 8: This is your next watch/read, put it at the top of your list
- 9: Stop whatever you’re watching/reading and check this out instead
- 10: Perfection, quit your job and watch/read this right now (so far nothing has made it this high)

Hello there! I’m just a guy who consumes media too quickly and either overthinks or underthinks it. While my ability to binge has been described as “concerning” and “I don’t think that’s humanly possible”, rest assured that when I really like something I will get through it as quickly as possible. On a related note, I tend to prefer shorter pieces of media, so don’t expect too many RPG reviews or for me to tackle those long shonen battle anime.
So what should you expect? I’ll primarily cover romance anime (mostly comedies, but dramas too) and whatever games I have sitting in my Steam library that’s become too big to ever finish. I’ve also been experimenting with streaming and putting out videos, so perhaps you can watch rather than read some of my opinions along with whatever else I feel like talking about. Also expect me to dislike things that seem like they should be made for me.
I don’t really like giving my reviews numeric scores and I want to avoid being neutral as much as possible, so I’m going to keep it simple for my verdicts.
Don’t Even Bother – How did this even get made?
Definitely Play/Watch/Read – The best, my favorites, standouts in their genre. Generally anything incomplete has a hard time making it in here.
Play/Watch/Read – I liked these things, but it could be a bit of a range within here, from mid to just barely missing the mark of the top tier.
Skip – I didn’t like it, but I can see some merit to it.

Hello, hello! I’m sure you’re just dying to know more about me, your (soon to be) favorite review writer. I am a young, extremely attractive, person who works tirelessly in their effort to marry into money as soon as possible. I seek to support a comfortable lifestyle of relaxing and spending most of my time asleep. In return I offer something rare and valuable that people in the know refer to as “nothing”. Great deal, right?
Oh? You wanted to know about my review style and general thoughts and opinions about the material I might be reviewing? If you insist. I’m always game for a good ice breaking conversation before we get into the serious stuff.
Obviously, my reviews are of the highest quality and everything. Naturally, as a seasoned veteran of whatever review writing industry there is, I write mostly for fun and as an outlet for things I want to talk about that my coworkers don’t want to listen to. This, of course, brings a sort of “grumpy old man complaining about popular new things” vibe to much of my work and highlights the “fun times” and “great joy” I demand from people who experience my writings. Just don’t come to me for a rating, you’ll be lucky to get a “go or no go” opinion most of the time.
As for the subjects of my reviews, I currently enjoy the art of tearing myself apart by trying to watch as many currently airing anime as I can in a season and then informing the unaware, misguided, populace (my one or two friends who listen to me) what they should watch. I may throw in some reviews for shows that I watched previously or even the odd game review as well though so be prepared for anything. Speaking of anything, I’ve got a pretty broad taste in anime and am willing to give pretty much anything a try (I may even take suggestions if you ask really, really, nicely). Nobody’s perfect though so I’ve nominated sports anime and Nick’s opinions as things I can’t really get behind.
I think that pretty much wraps it up. I hope you enjoy whatever nonsense I put out here and extra hope that you can one day fund my easy life and perpetual slumber.
