Favorite anime is Elfen Lied. The ending is so sad, but it touches your heart and changes your view on life.
Artwork counts for about
40% of my opinion of an anime, another
25% depends on the music/ voice acting, and rest is storyline.
I tend to think about the meaning behind problems/questions in life a lot in an effort to find a solution. In fact, many say that i overthink lol. I believe that this tendency in me to think about everything, and to believe that there is 1 absolute solution to any problem, comes from the mentality i hold in my favorite game: chess. In other words, i believe that if only i have enough knowlege/wisdom i can pattern the problems of life as i can a game of chess.
These are the openings i like to use in chess:
if i am playing white, i will start with my kingside knight and transpose into a variation of the nimzo indian for white.

if i am playing black, i will use alekhine's defense.
oh yea, i also play chinese chess, but im not that great at it cause i never formally studied it or anything.
also currently trying to learn shogi, but its very different from chinese and international chess, and so is proving difficult to learn...
