@fkeroge

Who am I?: I am @fkeroge, a Chemical Engineering student from the Philippines. If you’re asking about my age, I am in my late teens. I am an author of this very site, Ambivalence, or is it Ambiguity?. You can find me at these places:

MAL | Twitter | Google+ | Steam |

What kind of person are you?: I like to think that I’m just like everybody else, with his own tastes and preferences. I have nothing against anything or anybody and I rarely get angry, but I am easily annoyed. I can be pretty stupid at times, especially when it comes to controlling my excitement. I am easily entertained yet also easily bored.

I like philosophy, psychology and basically anything that has something to do with human behavior. When I read posts from other blogs, I can’t help but to use their posts as references for me to make a background of the author’s online persona.

What kinds of anime do you like?: I am a fan of anything interesting. I like anime that entertain me and dislike those that don’t. Because of that, my tastes are pretty mainstream in nature, except for a few exceptions.

What are the particular things that you look for in an anime?: Well, I admit that I do have a weakness for drama in my anime, and that has both helped me find my favorite anime and anime that I disliked, so I guess that if an anime looks like a god drama, I’ll definitely check it out.

Like I said earlier, I like psychology and philosophy. Of course, I would want to watch anime dealing with these concepts in depth, as long as they’re entertaining enough.

But I guess my biggest weakness would be yuri. Those of you who have known me for a while would agree. If a show has yuri potential, I will always try to watch it, for better or worse.

Why did you start to watch anime in the first place?: Read this.

What are your standards when it comes to rating your anime?: I only have a single standard for rating anime, and that is its entertainment value. I break down my scores in MAL in this manner:

• 10 – The pinnacle of entertainment.

• 9 – Kept my eyes glued to the screen. The best of the best.

• 8 – The best anime I can hope for. I consider anime reaching this score to be must-watches.

• 7 – The better anime. The types that should be watched if you have free time on your hands.

• 6 – Good anime. These are anime that should be watched if you don’t have anything better to do.

• 5 – Average anime. Has entertainment value, but I guess you’re better off doing something else entirely.

• 4 – Bad anime. These are the kind of anime that should be watched, if you want to be amazed at how bad anime can be; “so bad, it’s good” quality.

• 3 – Very bad anime – These anime induce sleepiness or rage. Try to stay away from these. “Terribad” quality.

• 2 – The lowest score that I have given so far. The “so bad, it’s not even funny” level. May cause narcolepsy. This score is reserved mostly for horrible anime extras, but I can also give this score to TV series that try hard enough.

• 1 – I wish the day that I give this score would never come.
