MY ANIME RATINGS

[last update 14/09/09]

I’ve recently begun rating anime I’ve seen at the Anime News Network encyclopedia. Handily, the site remembers the scores I’ve given, so I thought random strangers might enjoy reading my opinions on shows they’ve never seen! Linked titles have short reviews.
