About

About me

I live in Quezon City, and I have watched anime since cartoons after school. Now I try every new show in a season and keep a score for each one.

I put every show on one chart: how many hours it takes and how good it is. The best ones for their length are joined by a line.

I also read manga by the stack, draw my own characters and host a watch party for every finale.
