Welcome to my profile! Football Enthusiast - Asian - Casual Anime Fan - University Student Anime fan from Malaysia 🇲🇾, casually following since late 2018 after starting with No Game No Life and The Seven Deadly Sins. Because anime is just one of several hobbies, my list mostly focuses on mainstream and well known titles.
When it comes to what really sticks with me, I have a strong preference for narratives where outcomes feel earned through the choices and consequences that come before them. That's why Fate/Zero, Steins;Gate, Code Geass, and Steel Ball Run stands out to me.
I'm also really interested in character-driven stories. I love the messy yet realistic relationships in Oregairu, the character dynamics of Hibike! Euphonium, and of course the fun, cute CGDCT of K-On!
Above all, Clannad: After Story is an absolute masterpiece to me. It handles family, growing up, adulthood, and the harsh realities that come with them. I believe what I value most in a show is when I can genuinely get invested in the characters, actually believe in what they're going through, and feel that the payoff was worth the journey.
I have a huge passion for association football (soccer). I support Manchester United and my national team Malaysia.
The leading antihero and the main protagonist of the anime series Code Geass.
Who doesn't know Lelouch? He's the character with the most favourites on MyAnimeList, and rightfully so. Lelouch was a highly intelligent boy, but not what you expected at first. He acts like a likable easy-going person. However, in reality, this is a mask to hide his true nature.
He's the coolest fucking character in existence.
Known for his realistic, cold, and tactical side, he has a huge sense of justice. He committed good and evil acts for his reasons, and that's what makes him such a well-written character.
Despite being cold and ruthless, he didn't throw his humanity away, he can be a rather compassionate person at times, he views his friends as an ally and cares about them.
Obey me subjects, Obey me world! All Hail Lelouch
"The only ones who should kill are those who are prepared to be killed."
Johnny Joestar, a.k.a the best JoJo. The main protagonist of the widely praised manga JoJo's Bizarre Adventure Part 7. He was a horse-riding prodigy later who later turned into a cripple. Johnny joins the SBR race to find out the secret behind the Steel Balls.
So what's so great about Johnny? His human characteristics and his character development throughout the series.
Growing up, he had an aggressive relationship with his family that drove him to become the brat we know at the beginning of SBR. Johnny was always portrayed as the lesser son to his brother, he can never fill the role of his brother for his father.
He had a tragic childhood, and the divide between him and his father climaxed to a point that hits Johnny hard.
Through the journey, he grew and became the fan-favourite we know today. He's selfish, he's unforgiving and desperate, and even could've been seen as a "villain" by the end of the manga. He felt like a real character to me.
"I want to get up to zero! If I can get the corpse, I can get my negative back to zero!"
Yukinoshita Yukino, a.k.a Yukinon, or the best girl of the series. She is the deuteragonist of Oregairu. She is smart, and beautiful, and is nicknamed the "Ice-cold Beauty" for her icy demeanor.
She is the definition of a thinking type, a person who believes in logic first and foremost. And because of her personality, she tends to be blunt and point out faults in other people without consideration.
Despite that, she still attempts to understand others and is kind in her way. Her icy exterior slowly fades throughout the series, making her more "humanlike".
She isn't selfish despite her logical side. She's more selfless than anyone and has a genuinely good heart, willing to help anyone in need.
Last but not least, she's a waifu material.
"People who don't work hard don't have the right to be envious of the people with talent. People fail because they don't understand the hard work necessary to be successful."
My favourite heroine of Clannad, Sakagami Tomoyo. Not just because she's the cool girl, or a badass that everyone likes and cemented her as best girl, but because beneath that exterior lies one of the deepest and purest heart. The very same responsible, perfect student, capable of dismantling entire street gangs is the very same person who wakes up at dawn to pack a homemade bento, blushing over her loved one and craving the simple comfort of genuine connection. She is the kind of person who still genuinely thanks someone, even for the smallest gesture.
Unlike most heroines in of who rely heavily on the main protagonist, Okazaki Tomoya to rescue or support them, Tomoyo is fiercely independent, reliable, and strong-willed. Though having said all that, the initial impressions paint Tomoyo as hyper-competent and near-flawless, once she falls for Tomoya, she struggles to balance her devotion with her student council duties. She becomes stubborn, selfish, and avoids confronting reality because she doesn't want to choose between her dream and the person she loves.
It only strengthens my liking on her after I read through her route in the VN. I really adore her.
"No matter how cold and distant people may become, on the inside something warm and precious always remains, something that never changes. To me, that’s what family is like."
"You know that one meme 'Is this some peasant joke I'm too rich to understand?'. Imagine if that meme was reincarnated as a person" - Gigguk
No, we're not talking about that Gilgamesh, we're talking about his alternative version, we're talking about Caster Gilgamesh here.
He's the king of Uruk, an ancient Sumerian city. As a Caster, Gilgamesh has a more mature mindset, he comes from after his journey to find immortality.
Caster Gilgamesh is such a likeable character, he loves his city, and he genuinely wants to protect his people, by being such a wise and mature king.
Unlike his Archer counterpart who's full of arrogance, he's a responsible king who properly serves the people he rules.
Have we talked about his powers yet?
He has his Gate of Babylon, which is the storehouse that Gilgamesh built to store all the world's treasures he claimed in life.
In this version, he's no longer in his prime, unlike his counterpart. He lost a lot of offensive power, he distributed all his weapons except for the staffs to the people in Uruk. He mainly bombards spells instead of spam-firing his swords and spears, which is kinda cool.
I mean, who doesn't like a wise and powerful king like Gilgamesh.
"It's a hundred years too early to take a rest. Do not bore me, mongrel."
Oh look, it's the girl in my profile picture! Misaka Mikoto, a.k.a Railgun is the main protagonist of the Railgun series and the main heroine of the Raildex series.
She is the third-ranked Level 5 esper in Academy City and the strongest Electromaster in the city. She is fucking cool, yet charming because of her well-known tsundere personality.
She is short-tempered, prideful, and has an improper attitude. Despite all that, she is generally friendly and easygoing, making her the best tsundere who ever exist.
While generally amicable and humble, Misaka is highly individualistic. She has a keen sense of justice and naturally acts as a leader. Yet because of that, she cannot avoid making more enemies at the same time.
During a fight, she's badass. Outside a fight, she's cute. That's why I love her.
Fun Fact: The 3rd most visited Chinese website, Bilibili is named after Misaka Mikoto
"I just don’t have any patience for people who would rather hurt others instead of facing their own reality."
Hori Kyouko is the deuteragonist of Horimiya. She is a smart, energetic, and popular person who always creates a happy atmosphere around herself.
She is a hard worker in all aspects of her life, and even though she has chores around her house to do, she does well in school and scores over 90 on exams.
She is also a responsible older sister who takes care of her brother well. She tends to be violent when she is nervous or angry, which makes her much more realistic as a character.
I like how casual Hori is when she's not with her friends, it's very refreshing to see characters being casual like people do in real life.
Even though she is a popular person, she is also shown to be very jealous at times when girls are flirting, to the point that she scares girls away from her boyfriend.
I mean, she's beautiful, smart, energetic, responsible, and sometimes violent. She ticks all my "ideal girlfriend characteristic features".
Hori is the ideal in real life-girlfriend. But except, she doesn't exist.
"I’m asking you guys are done talking. If you are, then piss off Assholes."
Treasurer of everyone's favourite student council, Ishigami Yuu is undoubtedly one of if not the best-written character in Kaguya-sama: Love is War.
Relatable, Self-insertable, Realistic.
These are what made him the stand-out character that he is.
But what makes it beautiful about him is his character growth, his story and the way he presents himself in the story. He had fantastic character development throughout the series while still being extremely hilarious.
"In a tall tower deep in a forest, a golden fairy lived there alone. A certain young gray wolf girl who reminds a golden fairy, but who cannot possibly love anyone."
She is Victorique "Vikutorika", "Gray Wolf" de Blois, the deuteragonist of the hidden gem "Gosick", who is known for her tsundere personality and loli physique.
Possesses a supernatural ability to observe and analyze pieces of information, and she can perform deep calculations to solve any puzzles and problems thrown upon her. She's known to solve any murder cases easily without assistance or aid.
Classic tsundere with a sharp tongue, a sarcastic and eccentric personality, Victorique is a tsundere done right. As cold-hearted as sometimes she can be, she's still able to show a more sincere and precious side of emotions.
A tsundere done right, that's all I have to say
"You were chosen as a single fragment with which I will fill up my boredom."
Supposedly a delinquent with no promising future, a boy who's known for truancy that has no direction and lost all motivation to live a proper life. Yet, he always had a carefree yet good-hearted personality, a big softie behind his delinquent image, always willing to help the people he loves.
That’s the protagonist of Clannad, Okazaki Tomoya.
Tomoya isn't the smartest, the strongest, or the most successful. He is just a normal person who keeps trying.
As he interacts with others, he begins to change into a better person. All the challenges he faces are strikingly relatable, and as the story progresses, you start rooting for him more and more.
The more the story progresses, the more you feel like him, and feel to like him.
Tomoya does not feel like a self-insert, yet feels so real. He deserves all the happiness.
"You should cry while you still can. When you get bigger, sometimes, you can't cry even if you have something you wanna cry about."
God's favourite and everyone's favourite perfect girl: Teruhashi Kokomi
Might as well call her aura girl, she is literally manifesting aura every single second. She has this perfect image that she fights really hard to keep. Ultimately, she deserves it because of how hard she works for it.
Many people overlook her development as a character; she's not one-dimensional, as many first-time viewers think. I very much believe she's the best-written character from the show. Used to be shallow and materialistic, but she has left that character after the love she has for Saiki.
I really enjoyed the relationship between her and Saiki so much from both a platonic and a romantic lens.
"Offu"
"Because I am a perfect beautiful girl who is not only cute, but also nice."
Favourite Manga
20th Century Boys Favourite Characters: Friend, Kenji, Otcho
What if you could make your childhood fantasy real, and terrifying? What if the Illuminati was real?
This is it. 20th Century Boys by Urasawa Naoki is my favourite manga of all time.
It's a mystery. The whole manga is a mystery, and it keeps getting deeper and deeper. As you read through, you'll find yourself staring into an abyss. You will never grasp how deep it goes.
Who is Friend? Why is Friend? How far does it go? When does it end?
Urasawa Naoki is such a genius at writing characters. From the main protagonist to the main antagonist and even to the side characters.
This manga is brilliant. It is so unique and interesting, and once you get hooked, you'll never stop reading it. Despite many flaws that I found, it's still by far my favourite manga I've read.
It has a phenomenal structure, and an outstanding connection that connects the past, the present, and the future. A must-read for everyone.
JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run Favourite Arcs: D4C, Break My Heart, Break Your Heart, A Man's World
Ranked #2 in the MyAnimeList database, the 7th instalment of the iconic JoJo's Bizarre Adventure series by Araki Hirohiko, JoJo no Kimyou na Bouken Part 7: Steel Ball Run is my 2nd favourite manga of all time.
The innovative fights, crazy-like abilities, the lovable characters, and the mysterious plot behind all of these led to an outstanding manga that is set to win the race.
With the magnificently written story, the detailed unique looking art, and the well-explored characters, this manga truly blew me in every way, Part 7 of JoJo's is the epitome of any manga.
From having one of the best protagonists to one of the best villains of all entertainment media I have enjoyed. From the fantastic dynamic duo of Johnny and Gyro to the thrilling epic finale of Johnny vs Funny Valentine,
I could only describe it as a work of art, truly deserving the title of a masterpiece.
Kaguya-sama: Love is War Favourite Arcs: Sports Festival, Dual Confessions Culture Festival, New Game, ABCs of men and women
Kaguya-sama: Love is War by Akasaka Aka is my favourite romance story.
Known as the king of romance manga, Kaguya-sama is undoubtedly the best romance I've ever seen.
It's like the opposite of your average everyday romcom, it's taking the mockery of them at some points.
This manga is absurd, the super-exaggerated characters take the cake of any comedy. No rom-com has ever made me burst into laughter other than this masterpiece.
Over the last 28 volumes, I've read, I've been through laughter, been through fluffy happiness, empathy, and melancholy. Emotional arcs, thrilling arcs, comedic arcs, it's all in one package. It's an emotional ride that everyone should experience.
Characters are easily the finest point of the series. Everyone from the series could've easily broken into my top 10 favourite characters. That's how well they're written.
As perfect as it may be, the last quarter of the manga didn't live up to the level it used to be. Still, a solid ending to end it off!
Horimya by HERO x Hagiwara Daisuke is my 4th favourite manga of all time. Pretty sure you all heard of this amazing high school romance manga.
It isn't anything mind-blowing, it's a simple, casual manga that everyone can enjoy. It isn't anything complex, it isn't anything dramatic or over the top, and that's what I really love about it.
Well yes, the story peaked around the first half of the manga and afterwards is just fillers. But do bear in mind that this is a slice-of-life manga, don't view it as a romance drama like your average K-Drama.
The characters are very lovable, especially the side characters, it's very rare to see well-developed characters when the main couple are the main stars.
The series is a must-read for every type of romance fan.
Personal Score:9.5 Playtime: 78.2 Hours Date Completed: 15.5.2024 ~ 9.9.2026 Favourite Route: After Story As much as Kyoto Animation delivered a legendary anime adaptation, reading the original visual novel completely shifts your experience of Clannad. The depth given to each individual routes, especially Tomoyo's and Kotomi's, carries something special that the anime simply couldn't present.
I never like to say that Clannad is a "crying game", it is so much more than that. As they say, "写作CL，读作人生", i.e. "Written as CL(annad), but read as life." Exhausting commitment yes, but a true masterpiece.
"In the end, the reason for living might be found among your 'family and loved ones.'"
Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Trials and Tribulations
Personal Score:8.6 Playtime: 22.7 Hours Date Completed: 5.2.2023 ~ 18.2.2023 Favourite Case: Bridge to the Turnabout (Case 5) The indisputable pinnacle of the original trilogy. There's no weak cases throughout the game.
While the earlier games focused on Phoenix establishing his identity in the courtroom, Trials and Tribulations challenges the very foundation of why he stands at the defence stand in the first place. It also has by far the greatest case, or turnabout I would say, across all Ace Attorney. It delivers an extraordinarily satisfying conclusion.

have fun with higurashi, im not too familiar with that franchise, tho ive been thinking about watching the anime one of these days haha. i havent read anything in a few months now, last one i completed was air, as the switch one got an official english patch just few months ago haha. the anime adaptation is not bad but man, the VN is so much better hahaha
oh yeah, anime adaptation is really good, i really like how they handed combining all the routes into one show, thats where anime adaptations sometimes kinda fail haha. tho i gotta say kotomi arc sure hits different when tomoya is all alone on it in the vn, but it still great haha. about only real gripe i have with it is the whole illusionary world/orbs thing is adapted rather poorly, wich made watching the ending for the first time kinda confusing lel
dont get the r18 patch, i played the clean switch version myself but i did look into it out of curiosity. seems like tomoyo after is controversial only because of the r18 scenes lol. all the early key VNs had kinda forced and unfitting r18 scenes wich is why they got removed in about every rerelease, but tomoyo after apperantly takes the cake. not only it doesnt fit in at all, like AT ALL, but theyre apperantly rather disgusting at times too lol
NubFix said: I am reading the Clannad VN right now, exactly the part of Ep18 of After Story. Made me cry like a bitch again. 70+ hours well spent.
I do have Tomoyo After in my Steam library. I might read it after finishing Clannad. Or maybe I might take a break from Clannad and start Higurashi, which will probably last me for months.
i know what you mean, when i played trough clannad VN, i was thinking it wont be as hard since i know whats coming...yeah right lol, in a sence it was even worser thanks to the more content the VN haz lel
taking a break inbetween might not be a bad idea, thats more or less what i did too haha. but tomoyo after is great, too bad it never got an adaptation aswell haha
Personally, I do like 4 better than 2, and I also liked 9, but 9's annoying final stages are what kept me from enjoying it more. I had to restart the entire Wily Castle because I ran out of E Tanks and couldn't beat Wily's annoying 3 phase boss fight without any after an hour of trying
Thanks a lot! I can't wait for the next season of Index (despite season 3 being a little "overwhelming" in terms of the amount of characters and plot lines the audience had to follow) and Railgun!
