About Me My MAL name is PirateKingz but most people here just call me King. I'm currently a senior in high school that spends his time living life to the fullest. I have various hobbies but the ones I truly enjoy are listening to music, photography, sleeping, wrestling, swimming, and obviously watching anime and reading manga. I grew up watching anime with classics like Cardcaptor Sakura, Yu Yu Hakusho, Hunter x Hunter, and Dragonball. However, it never actually turned into a hobby until a close friend of mine brought me back in 3 years ago. I was then pulled into the manga world after the abrupt end of a romance anime called Suzuka. Since then, I've been much more involved in both anime and manga as it has become less of a hobby and more of a lifestyle. I enjoy all types of genres besides yaoi. I've been branching out from popular shounens, to cliche romances, to unique comedies, to psychological mindfucks. I gladly welcome recommendations of any type. If you know of a masterpiece or just an interesting anime/manga I have yet to watch, feel free to suggest it. Even if you were some random person, I'll still take it into consideration. Conversely, feel free to ask any questions and I'll do my best to answer them and give any needed /help/recommendations. I do not accept random friend requests.

is also the same with Clannad and Clannad: After Story? Also glad to see someone else who reads id and few other Korean manwhas. Some that are coming out now seem promising especially Korean webtoons.
Dr. Dray Man is already on my PTW, & so is Death Note. Hee. The reason why I still haven't seen Death Note is because I dropped the manga awhile ago
I've been hearing a lot of good things about SnK. I'm going to try to endure & wait until it's finished airing before I start, though, like usual. Hee. The only show that I absolutely cannot bear to wait for is HxH… So exciting. *-*
Ohoh. AP exams -- so you're one of those over-achievers. ;-p I'm sure you were able to your exams with flying colours. A lot of good unis in the West Coast, so I have no doubt that you were able to get into a decent one. Have you decided what you'll study in uni yet? :]
I took up your advice and started reading Holyland. I haven't, however, made much progress through it since I've been more in a mood to watch things moreso than to read (though it's usually the other way around).
As promised, here is my impression of it thus far: I really like the plot, but at the same time I feel quite dissatisfied with the quality of art & writing... The former I don't mind so much, but the latter really affects my enjoyment of the manga. It's also to do with the poor transitioning from picture to picture/scene to scene -- if that even makes sense. Similarly, I find the dialogues to sound a bit clumsy. I'm not exactly sure whether it's a fault on the author's part or whether I ought to blame the translating group... but the writing sounds incredibly untrained overall, & I'm only enduring through it because I really am drawn to the story itself.
Obviously, I only bother to ask for recommendations from you because I quite like your tastes in anime/manga. :] So yes… I hope you'll continue to toss plenty of titles at me for my own indulgence. Anime recs would especially be appreciated, since I'm desperate for a new show to start. Hee. :D
Oh, and I hope your semester is advancing smoothly -- from your profile it sounds as though you're about to graduate, so I wanted to voice my congratulations. :]
Hee, those have definitely gone onto my Plan-to-Read list. I'll start reading Holyland now but will save the other 2 for later, as I have a tendency to become horribly vexed when it comes to waiting around for the next bits to come out-- especially when it's a show/story that I'm enjoying (e.g., Tower of God).
I look forward to reading these with lively anticipation, & if I were to end up liking them, I'll definitely take the liberty to come to you for more suggestions!
I'm taking brief hiatus from reviews right now as the Fall series just started airing and not much to review on. The only show I might consider reviewing would be Kokoro Connect although it hasn't finished airing yet. Unless MAL separates them into two different sections, I might hold it off for awhile. As for the reviews, it's pretty well written ;)
Nice Tiger & Bunny review btw. I also found the writing to be...kinda blend, cliched, and sort of stereotyped but ultimately found the series to be entertaining with its superhero factors. I also did gave it the same score as you, with "8".
Might check out the movie also.
Just ing by here and i couldnt avoid to comment your DP: cool noda DP *w*/
Don't you happen to have the link to the original (bigger) pic, do u? :o
Anyway, sorry for the random comment XD;
Have a good day~
