On December 19, 2023, I reached the milestone of watching 5000 anime titles with my 5000th title being the Lupin III Pilot Film. Coincidentally, Lupin III's been one of my longtime favorite anime franchises since I seen Part 2 of the series on Adult Swim back in the 2000s and deliberately chose to set this title aside for this milestone when I reached this point just as a memento and some bragging rights for this achievement. Not so sure if 10,000 titles will be in the cards depending on whatever life circumstances get in the way. But I shall keep this paragraph up as a reminder of this goal I've set for myself as an anime fan.

On July 3, 2022, I made the milestone of reaching my 500th day of viewing anime. Whether you think of this as an impressive achievement or a waste of time is your call. From my end, my lifetime viewing of anime continues onward.

I've been a fan of anime for over 22 years now, having seen a good number of anime franchises and notable titles both past and present as I've seen over 5700 anime titles. My biggest turn offs with anime titles are fan service heavy titles, moe pandering and the use of gratuitous violence and sex for shock value in an anime title. Feel free to dig into my list to see any anime I've dabbled into over the years to find anything of interest.

Don't be too surprised if I have a slim list for manga as I am more a viewer of anime than I am a reader of manga. I hardly read manga nowadays except in cases where I need to look through it to recall events from what I read from the past, though I may make an exception if I come across a manga title that has yet to be adapted into anime form.

My Rating Scale
10 - Masterpiece. Pretty much anything I'd regard as flawless.
9 - Excellent. An all-time great for me.
8 - Very good. A title I'd still highly recommend, even if it has some flaws.
7 - Good. Has its issues, but wouldn't necessarily say I regret my time having seen it.
5 and 6 - Average for the most part. Will rate the title 6 if there are some elements to the title in question I think do enough to make it less mediocre, but not enough to make me hand it a 7.
4 or below - Bottom of the barrel quality. Lower the number, the worst the title is for me personally.
