If it wasn’t obvious already, I really like anime.
But here is the thing: I just can’t rank the stuff I’ve seen. It’s too difficult for me. I like a lot of different anime for a lot of different reasons and it just seems to me like I’m cheapening my experience somehow by putting a number on it.
So this page isn’t going to be my Top 10 list. It’s just a placeholder for all the anime I like that I’ve written about in some way, for whatever purpose, and are rated higher than a 6 on my MAL. If there’s an anime missing here that could mean one of three things:
1. I liked it and haven’t gotten around to writing about it yet (mostly older series).
2. I watched it but didn’t like it quite enough to write about it.
3. I haven’t seen it.
If there’s a series you like and you want to see if I like it too, just drop a comment or an email (frogkun@live.com) my way. I’ll reply as soon as I can. I also take suggestions for posts, but again it depends on whether I like the series enough in question. I’ve elected not to write specifically about series that I actively dislike. So if I’m ever complaining about an anime, it’s out of love.
With all that said…
