Open Your Mind

Hi there, thanks for visiting “Open Your Mind”. This is my little corner of the internet where I post thing on current anime.

“Open You Mind?“

I was thinking of a name for the blog, and I couldn’t come up with one. I was listening to music while thinking, then “OPEN YOUR MIND ~chiisana hane hirogete~” by: Youko Ishida, started playing. I started thinking about it and decided to use that. But there is also another reason why I chose that name:

There was a time when I would never think about listening to other types of music or trying new things out that weren’t already known to me. But as I started to watch anime, I “opened my mind” to new things. First, I only watched “Shounen” type anime, but as I watched more and more, I tried yuri, slice of life, comedy, shoujo, mahou, and other types I would’ve never even have tried before. Now I’m open to new things, I’ll give it a try but there is no guarantee that I will like it!! ^_^’

So the name “Open Your Mind” was used! ^_^

“Where can I contact you?“

sziur_18 [at] hotmail [dot] com
sziur_18 [at] yahoo [dot] com

[at] = @
[dot] = .

You can contact me on either one, but preferably on my hotmail e-mail because I check it everyday and can usually be found on MSN Messenger, though I usually appear off-line. Or you can just leave a comment here! ^_^

“SCORING SYSTEM“

I thought that I should have some sort of scoring system for the anime I ‘review’. I’m not a good reviewer, and I don’t review much, but any post that has the anime title and nothing else will be considered to be a review.

• ONE outta FIVE
  • Bad. These are anime that I couldn’t continue watching. Reason will be on the post this score appears.
• TWO outta FIVE
  • Average anime that had cliche story/characters and barely managed to keep my interest.
• THREE outta FIVE
  • Good anime that had good story/characters and had a nice hold on my interest.
• FOUR outta FIVE
  • Great anime that has an enticing story, great characters. An anime I looked forward EVERY week.
• FIVE outta FIVE
  • Masterpiece. These anime entertained me every way possible. From soundtrack to animation, the whole shebang!
