Report Lord_Thantus's Profile

Zero Escape fan. I'm into thought-provoking complex narratives and action-packed tense stories, but I enjoy a little slice-of-life and silly ecchi mostly for the heck of it. If you have a strong (negative) opinion about an anime, I "may" not share it with you guys; I try to keep an open mind about them so my judgement isn't as clouded.

I will tend to refuse to watch depressing, horror, or sports anime, however. And the slapstick better not transcend to an annoying level.

Oh, and fuck Tsunderes. I don't like that abusive shit (Kurisu is cool tho).



Here's a list of tags that my MAL list uses to categorize shows I have completed. Most have names I made up, so refer to this to see any specifics:

A BIG One - one of those long-as-fuck anime that take forever to finish and are like impossible to catch up. Qualifies when a single, interconnected set of shows adds up beyond 100 episodes.
Ambiguity Terminated – a show that fulfills the plot threads of an “Ambiguously Optimistic” or an "Ambiguously Pessimistic" show, either for the better…… or the worse.
Ambiguously Optimistic – story with an unresolved thread left for interpretation, usually suggesting a sign of better things to come for the characters.
Ambiguously Pessimistic - story with an unresolved thread left for interpretation, aimed more at something more depressing or not as desired for the characters.
Angels and Demons – heavy use of fantasy creatures based on Judeo-Christian belief.
Appropriate School Environment – main setting being some sort of educational constitution.
Bad END – a story in which its conclusion is not a final or “true” conclusion in itself, with its True END told elsewhere. The term “bad” here is not used in a negative context.
Better Left Discarded – show that might be best to not watch, even if the content itself is not bad. Usually used on follow-ups or tie-ins to other shows, but essentially doesn’t pan out as it should.
Birthday Suit – characters may appear naked or super lewd, showing off the goods. Exclusive to shows that have “censored” and “uncensored” versions in these regards.
Borderline Hentai – shows that are somehow featured normally on television, despite the fact that certain aspects feel like porn.
Caravan of Arcs – story arcs structuring a world and overall narrative litter the show. Each lasts many episodes (even as much as one cour) and can be easily divided into sections to describe positions in a show.
Chess Game – characters play to each other’s wits and intuition in order to outsmart them.
Chronological Problems – story not told in chronological order (although some may be to a viewing order). Flashbacks are not included.
Comedy – show mostly focused on a comedy setting rather than a drama.
Compilation – a shorter event that encapsulates a larger series down.
Conspiracy – a story in which some unknown conspiracy is followed by a small group of people.
Cut Fat – many important aspects of the original work were removed in adaptation in order to fit a schedule. Limited to shows where I know the original content for myself.
Dramedy – show that blends drama and comedy, making it a part of the show.
Deconstruction – show where a genre is broken down to it’s core components and then rebuilt in an unique way.
Death Roster – the anime’s cast list decreases over time.
Dystopia – a setting in which the world is bleak and in a much worse state than reality.
Ecchi – lewd and stimulating shows in which perverted actions and scenes are witnessed.
Fanservice – show mostly to serve the fans. Not restricted to panty shots and lewd content.
Fantasy – heavy use of fantasy setting.
Fantasy-Science – a fantasy element that is given some sort of scientific basis to it.
Harem – romantic story in which more than 2 characters have feelings for a certain character, usually the protagonist. If tagged with a “Romance,” that means that it has a “true” romance that it will eventually follow.
Hemophobia – excessive amounts of blood and gore.
Hunger Games – characters are forced to play a game of life and death.
Inspirational Heroism – characters and storylines that can motivate and emotionally move the audience to become better people, usually in cheesy ways.
Magic/Alchemy – heavy use of mythical rules and/or setting.
Multiverse – covering different worlds as they interconnect.
Murder Mystery – a story in which characters try to solve a murder, usually following typical detective rules or slight variations of them.
Mystery – story in which the characters are solving some sort of mystery surrounding the plot. When it’s a murder mystery, it is moved to its respective tag.
Mythical Creatures – monsters of myth and fairy tales inhabit the show.
Parody – comedy and visual gags made to resemble and subvert a genre, trope, or show.
Plot? – in which the idea of a sensible and flowing story is put into question in favor of……. other things.
Post-Apocalypse – show set after humanity has suffered a terrible loss by some inhuman force.
Post-END – a show that follows a previous story’s final conclusion with an additional story to further expand.
Procedural Elements – every 1-2 episodes follows, or can have elements of, its own story with a similar story beat in each, rather than a single overarching story that must be seen to conclusion. Can be featured in more serialized shows.
Random Side Stuff – a show almost entirely devoted to filler. Usually ties to another, main show.
Romance – feelings deeper than friendship develops between main characters.
Served w/ Desserts – a show that not only is true to the source material, but even adds more and better content to it.
Shit END – a conclusion in a story that wasn’t appealing to see (at least for myself). May not be considered bad by many, nor may it refrain from overall enjoyment.
Short – like, super short.
Side Arc – a show that serves as a side arc to another work’s story, yet still as important.
Side Story – a show that serves as a side story to another work’s story, but not as important as a “Side Arc”.
Slaughterhouse – limps flying and heads rolling. People are gonna die left and right and in horrible ways. Not nessecarily “Hemophobia” as that one is focused on showing the gore.
Source Justice – a show that adapts a work accurately and consistently, in more than just story.
Sporadic – story themes, set-up, animation, and the likes has a random and energetic flow to it, not following any conventional structure.
Time Manipulation – a story in which the normal flow of time is deliberately disrupted. Could include time travel or just predictions of the future.
True END – features the true and final ending to the original show.
Underrated – not well known amongst the anime community.
Unpopular Opinions – wherein I have some sort of opinion about said show that a vast majority would disagree on. (If you have any questions about any specifics on this, you are free to ask)
Westernized – mainly set in or inspired from a location outside of Japan, showing examples of this culture.
Yandere – a featured character is willing to kill of anyone for the sake of their beloved.
Yuri – lesbian implications.
Zombieland – story structure and beat ripped out of Zombie movies.
