Hiya! ^ ^
I'm a simple, open-minded guy when it comes to Anime. I just love animation in general and i'll watch almost any genre from any time period, no discrimination (well, except maybe for sports and yaoi, they're just not my thing); from old, obscure 80's OVAs to Seinen to Shounen to Horror to Ecchi and Hentai to Comedy and even the occasional ongoing seasonal anime, i tend to give a fair shot to almost anything that catches my eye.
Variety is the spice of life and all that, y'know?
Basically, my introduction to anime as a whole was indirectly kick-started by a high school friend lending me a PS Magazine PS2 Demo CD way back in the day.
It featured demos for various games and i was randomly trying them out, when a particular title caught my attention; it was a demo for Fullmetal Alchemist: Curse of the Crimson Elixir. I didn't watch anime at the time, and i didn't even know the game was based on an anime; i thought that was just its style/aesthetic.
The gameplay was very simplistic, but i was drawn in by the high-quality voice-acting and the interesting characters and premise. I played through the demo several times but, as much as i wanted to know the whole story, i never got to buy the full game for some reason.
Flash-forward to early 2012 (about 5-6 years later). I'm browsing through Netflix and i happen to catch the thumbnail for the FMA (2003) anime series. I'm like "Whoa, this is that game demo i used to like so much!" I watch the first couple episodes out of curiosity, "Oh, it even starts out with the same story arc as the game!" I got hooked immediately, decided to watch the whole thing and, well, here i am now...needless to say, i owe that old friend a lot.
I prefer to watch completed series/seasons, so i generally avoid currently airing seasonal series until they're finished 'cause i'm too impatient to wait one week between each episode. I do make exceptions sometimes, though, if the show really, really interests me.
I don't really binge-watch stuff, either. Due to work, short attention span, alternate hobbies and other responsibilities, i tend to watch series at a fairly slow pace (about 1-3 episodes per day).

It's very inconsistent, lol.
Sometimes i rate based on enjoyment, sometimes i rate based on overall quality, sometimes it's a mix of both and sometimes i don't even bother rating at all 'cause i just can't settle on an appropriate score... or 'cause it's a hentai and i just don't see the point in rating something that's only meant for fapping purposes.
So, yeah, my ratings are meant purely for myself, and should not be taken seriously by others.
I very rarely drop anime, 'cause i'm a bit of a completionist and i usually watch shorter series anyway. I mostly just leave stuff "on hold" for a while if i'm not that into it.
So for the most part, i just use my "Dropped" section to list entries of specials and extras related to my watch list that are considered "lost" and/or nearly impossible to find on the Internet.
That said, if any of you who check out my drop list happen to know where i might find any of the entries listed there, i'd really appreciate it if you could share a link or something.
