Hello, I'm Wee Boon from Singapore. That's "Wee Boon" as a first name and never "Wee" or "Boon", though my local friends do tend to call me "Boon" or my surname "Tang" as a shorthand. But I digress. A little more about myself.
My relationship with anime is on-and-off over recent years, though I've seen just about most of the classic titles out there like Higurashi, Death Note, Gurren Lagann, Clannad, Angel Beats, Steins;Gate, FMA:B, Monster, Ghost in the Shell, Lain, Hell Girl, Cardcaptor Sakura, Haruhi, Cowboy Bebop, Digimon, Pokemon, and many more. If you name it, I've probably seen it if it was released before 2010 (except shounen titles like One Piece and Naruto; I don't like shounen). But having seen all the big time "must-watch" titles, I guess I just got tired of the newer ones and didn't really find anything that catch my interest.
But recently, I'm having the "on again" phase of my anime relationship, so I picked up where I last left off with Blood+ and Monogatari Second Season. Can't say I regret it actually, considering that Blood+ had a lot more depth in its characters than just another generic vampire anime and was the right kind of melancholy for me, while Monogatari SS' characters were masterfully written... and episode 20 broke me. Dang, didn't see that coming at all. First time I cried that hard to an anime for a looong time since Clannad.
My first love was not anime, however, but movies, and I've also seen many classic titles like Back to the Future, Star Wars original trilogy, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Ghostbusters, The Godfather, Casablanca, Citizen Kane, Gone with the Wind, Taxi Driver, the first "Alien" to Prometheus, Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, Dracula (the original one), Frankenstein (original), Wolf Man (you get the point), Nosferatu, Pixar movies, Disney movies, and It's A Wonderful Life. I've experienced so many heartfelt stories, drama and horrors through the magic of the silver screen, love movies with all my heart, and I'm still discovering movies every year.
Last but not least, I love Spider-Man. He's my favorite superhero of all time, next to MCU Captain America. I just love his sense of responsibility and righteousness despite being an average Joe like us with an average morality and all the selfishness that comes with it. You are admirable if you always do the right thing like Cap, but you're even more inspiring if you do the right thing in spite of your heart tempting you to do the easy thing. That's Spidey for me. Persevering in the face of insurmountable odds. Minus MCU Spidey. He's a spoiled little Zoomer and an Iron Man fanboy, and I dislike him with all my heart.
I think that about covers it. If you have any questions about me, feel free to drop a message here.
Until then, I shall be posting anime, movie and TV series reviews every now and then. We'll see. I'm fickle like that.
