To start off, could you please tell united states of america a bit about yourself?

Hii I'chiliad the most crawly mal influencer.✨ My friends telephone call me iva but you can phone call me whenever you lot similar. ;) I'm a 17 year old student from India, currently an 11th grader struggling to keep up with school. Believe me or not though, I was a topper till last year. 😩 I used to be quite active in the forum games during my prime on this website, merely lately I don't post a lot in the forums. I'g a huge sucker for romance and even earlier I got into anime, I've loved reading young adult novels for some fourth dimension. I've been watching anime since Oct 2019 and my crazy rampage-watching skills are what has gotten me and so far lol.

When I was younger, my parents put me in a lotttt of classes so I've had the opportunity to selection up on a variety of skills over the years. I've been learning carnatic music (yep i'm sure you lot don't know what that is only i'one thousand not gonna tell you considering you can look it up) for over 10 years now and learnt the trip the light fantastic form bharatanatyam for 6 years. I also play the keyboard and guitar and have a small youtube channel where i like to postal service my vocal covers. There was also a fourth dimension when I was actually into writing stories and fifty-fifty attempted to publish this fantasy novel I wrote while in the 5th grade. Well, it didn't really end upwards happening and at present that I think back, idk what I was even thinking lmao.

Proofreader Note: Carnatic Music is the music of the Southward Indian region, which has origins from ancient Hindu. It is played in a pocket-size ensemble or solo, either having domience on the vocals or fake of vocals in other instruments. Bharatanatyam is a type of hindu classical dance, it has a major presence in Southern India. The dance commonly lasts for about two hours and has no breaks for the performer. Saving ya'll time.

I would've totally said I was an introvert, had I been asked this a yr ago. Merely now, I recall I would depict myself as more of an ambivert, leaning towards either side whenever, depending on my mood. Took me a while to understand the difference between introversion and social anxiety. 🙄 On the xvi Personalities Examination, I keep getting either INTP or ENTP (Introverted / Extroverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Prospecting) on my personality tests, but I like to become with ENTP because that'due south just cooler.

What is the story behind your username?

Ooo I love telling this story; Then my username used to originally be something else, okay? I'm not gonna say it because information technology reveals too much; 😭 if you know, you lot know. it was basically my get-go name backwards. The first part of that username (which was basically the last role of my proper name backwards) was iva, and everyone only used to call me iva in the forums. Information technology kinda stuck and I merely thought it was cute and then I changed my username lmao. The "-" became because ofc some random donkey iva from 2009 wouldn't delete their account. So currently, my username is the last 3 messages of my last proper name backwards. Yes-

Could yous give us a brief history of your time on MAL?

I remember how I discovered mal very conspicuously. It was December of 2019, I was at my aunt's identify and had probably just watched Demon Slayer or something lmao. It was at night that The Anime Human had posted a video roasting his followers' anime lists. I believe it was as well the starting time video he made in that serial. That'southward how I discovered the website and added all the entries from this notepad file I used to write them in lol. I actually still use that notepad file simply to know the order, 😔 idc it's just nostalgic. fr tho at the time, I genuinely created an account wanting to get mine roasted by the anime man also LMAO.

I used the website for some time without being aware of the fact that I could really collaborate with people lol. I think it was August of 2020 that I found @agentbishop'southward profile and was quite horrified past their ratings and reviews. I saw that their comments' section was filled with hate so I decided to driblet one myself lmao. They replied to it request me to explain myself, so I went on to write a massive wall of text talking nigh anime; 🤢 imagine being such a weeb, pls I don't claim the person I was at that time. Then later on a few weeks or and then(?), I opened the forums section only to see what it was and scrolled to the bottom and institute this matter called forum games. I thought it was quite a lot of fun and started posting there. I tin't remember too clearly but basically I posted on the ban the user higher up you (I believe it was 5.13) thread. I thought I was posting in simply another forum game, simply I found out information technology was the illegal chat thread. 😎 I ended up making a agglomeration of my first friends there. So information technology only went on like that for some time with me beingness an fg regular. I've seen onetime users leave and new users come forth. 😩 I am the eternal existence ><. So, during my fourth dimension on this website, I've managed to interact with a lot of other users, met some proficient people and a bunch of bad people also but oh well, what was I expecting in a literal anime tracking website amirite. 😒

How did you go into anime and manga?

It was around Aug-Sep of 2019, and I was really into watching Avatar: The Fable of Korra, since it was ambulation on Nickelodeon at the time in my land. I didn't know what exactly I was watching at the time, but the internet sure did (equally it ever does 🙄 istg it is my biggest stalker). I opened youtube one day and at that place was this video called anime recommendations for beginners (I merely spent fifteen mins looking for the video rn but couldn't find it i'k sorry 😭) and the first rec in it was fmab so I decided to check it out. I wasn't even aware of illegal anime streaming websites at the fourth dimension and tried to notice it on your "normal" illegal streaming website lmao but luckily FMAB was popular, and I managed to find it somewhere. I binged the entire matter in a few days, 😩 then I got into Naruto and so on.

For manga, it's very uncomplicated. I had simply caught up to the Boruto anime then and actually liked information technology for some reason so wanted to keep the story badly. So yeah, I went ahead and read the manga from where the anime had left off at the fourth dimension. I didn't end upward reading anymore manga for a while until one day, I saw that I had run out of bl anime and wanted to try out manga. I watched this video giving me bl manga recs. I tried out Seven Days and concluded up really liking it so eventually ended upwards reading more manga.

Whatever three anime or manga you lot'd like to recommend!

Earlier reading this, keep in heed that I spent a very long fourth dimension thinking about this. 🥴 I'll try to recommend stuff you lot might not have watched but cipher too obscure dw. If my tastes don't adapt you, then ur the i with shit taste.

Big Windup! (Anime): The best baseball anime, fight me. This story just has such a wonderfully different approach to the sports genre, I was left with such a warmth in my heart. The protagonist, first of all, is very different from your usual 'hyper', 'loud', and 'obsessed' sports mc (don't go me wrong, love those characters too just this was such a pleasant difference to meet). Information technology's then nicee to see a shy and nervous character work his way upwardly with the back up of his genuinely kind teammates. The anime also approaches baseball with an analytical approach instead of the usual approach most other anime end upward taking. It is the most realistic sports anime I've had the fortune of setting my optics on. Mihashi never seems to come beyond as annoying either?? You simply end upward completely auspicious for him because he'due south only then PRECIOUS and it'due south our accolade to protect him. 😭 Even the relationships between all the characters is so amazingly wholesome and salubrious, my heart is crying- this anime is so insanely underrated.

Skip Beat out! (Anime): Imagine a revenge story; now imagine that as a showbiz shoujo- with a powerful female mc. 😳😳 This anime caught me by surprise! When I read the synopsis and even started watching the first episode, I did not look THIS! 😍 Kyoko is THE Best OMG I e'er bear witness people this edit I found to convince them to check it out because information technology'southward but that skillful.

Prison School (Anime): Now this, is something some people might not enjoy. Information technology is HEAVY ecchi but the one-act is *chef's kiss* LITERALLY ONE OF THE FUNNIEST THINGS I'VE SEEN- this kind of peepoo sense of humor is what I'm still watching anime for.

Apart from these, I'd always recommend my favourite anime Natsume Yuujinchou so do watch that if you lot oasis't yet lol.

Who Made Me a Princess (Manhwa): The story, ✨ the characters, ✨ the fine art, ASGDHFJK yep y'all will not regret this. I myself put off reading this manhwa for ages but myy do I regret that now. It'south one of my favourite things e'er at this betoken. 😩

Hirunaka no Ryuusei (Manga): I'm only obsessed with love triangles. 😥 I read the entire thing in like 3 hours but it was then worth information technology- become for it if you're looking for a somewhat unpredictable ending and plus, this mangaka'south art is GORGEOUS just the manner she draws easily. 😩 If y'all similar this, you could even check out her other works like: Tsubaki-chou Lone Planet and Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki. They're all lovely <3

Raise wa Tanin ga 2 (manga): greattt plot, stiff female mc and YAKUZA ROMANCE?! ✨ Practise I really have to say more than?

It genuinely looks like I got then lazy afterward the first rec. 😔 I promise that isn't it, I only didn't know what to say anymore. 😥

Are there whatsoever users you specially like or dislike and why?

I similar to say I detest everyone considering I'yard then edgy, 😳 but I'll name my adorable babies just this once. 😩

@marinara-sauce can I say you were the first person who came to mind. 😭 I'll never forget the 19 days sets you made for me "considering bungee cum has the backdrop of both safety and cum" ~albert einstein <3 @reintard as well B)))) unholy trinity.

What are some of your hobbies exterior anime and manga?

Exterior of anime and manga, I really like reading young adult fantasy romance novels. Some of my favs are the Infernal Devices, the Black Mage serial and Children of Blood and Os. Harry Potter of course, it will always concord a special place in my center.
I likewise enjoy reading danmei (basically chinese bl novels) Tian Guan Ci Fu, Giang Jin Jiu and Mo Dao Zu Shi are LOVE. I savor playing otome games like Mystic Messenger, Obey Me (normie much), Cinderella Phenomenon, Dangerous Fellows and some others. Fictional scenarios simply hit different. 😩 I likewise adore binge-watching shows. I've been reaally into Euphoria lately but tbh I'one thousand just obsessed with Zendaya.

Every bit I've mentioned earlier, I enjoy singing and dancing. I also like to do drama and honestly being an actress or vocaliser would be my ultimate dream. A dream role of mine would have to be Regina George, 😍 but as well bad I'g not white. 😭 Expect imagine a Mean Girls indian remake holy shit I'one thousand a genius.
I likewise savor 100m sprinting (cause i'grand expert at it 😎), and swimming. I also did abacus for many years and even so use it mentally for calculations lmao habits. Also kung fu for a few years, just then my mom made me stop because I was getting older 👀
This is bad merely I end up spending a good amount of my time scrolling through instagram and texting my friends. 😔

How do yous experience about the way the site is run?

I don't have too many detail bug with the site and think it's managed decently overall. The features are fewer and that's totally understandable since it's such an old website. The but affair I'd say though is regarding the mods when it comes to bans. I have to praise the mods for working hard but there is besides this... line. They sometimes end upward going overboard. The character dominion makes sense but banning someone for not following that is a bit umm??? Like what did they even do…

What does 8w7 even mean?
question from @Corrout

It's an enneagram type which is some kind of personality thingy. PLS LMAO u just take to google "8w7" tho smh carrot

Proofreader Note: Who knows it might have been some NSFC (not safe for carrot) stuff and so I was waiting for you to respond.

Why are yous not quitting MAL and anime in full general?
question from @amoured

I volition, soon. I've at least come up to the realisation that everything in life is pointless. Aught holds whatever meaning so why indulge in such insufferable activities. 😩 Imagine- couldn't be me- in the well-nigh future for certain. I have a life. 🙄

What's the edgiest shojo you've seen?
question past @Crow_Black

This is an interesting question. I don't think I've seen much edgy shoujo at all tbh, 😔 but just one came to heed when i saw this question- Nana. It's probably the closest to edgy among all the shoujos I've seen. Tbh though, it is a shoujo, it's very much a josei-like story and just the style of the manga and the way the story handles mature topics could exist seen as edgy. Definitely in a good way though.

Which shojo do you think should become an accommodation?
question past @Crow_Black

omgg totally Hirunaka no Ryuusei! I am sooo obsessed with this manga that if information technology got an adaptation, I would actually die! ✋😭 not that it would e'er get adapted though. 😔😔

Exterior of Hualian and Chuuya X Dazai, which other yaoi or yuri ships practice you similar a lot?
question past @Crow_Black

HUALIAN HAS TO Exist MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE YES!
Ofc I would never be able to proper name all of them, 😩 simply i'g gonna attempt to name quite a flake. WangXian from Mo Dao Zu Shi, Sun Jing x Qui Tong from Tamen de Gushi, Kase ten Yamada from Asagao to Kase-san, Sakura ten Tomoyo and Touya x Yukito from Cardcaptor Sakura, Nezumi 10 Shion from No.6, Ueda x Aki from Honto Yajuu, Madam x Shim Chong from Her Tale of Shim Chong, KageHina from Haikyuu, NaruSasu from Naruto (don't, only don't 🙄 idc they were my first exposure) KawoShin from Evangelion, Cheng Xiaoshi x Lu Guang from Link Click, Ash x Eiji from Banana Fish, MakoHaru and RinHaru from Free (honestly depends on my mood), Homura x Madoka from Madoka Magica, Abe ten Mihashi from Large Windup and Victuuri from Yuri on Water ice were the ones I could point out from my listing rn lmao-

Did BSD inspired you to cheque out the authors based off from original works?
question by @Crow_Black

Hmm to be honest, not really. I have seen the Aoi Bungaku Series tho with the first story in it being 'No Longer Human' by Osamu Dazai. I don't think information technology was exactly BSD that inspired me to picket it tho just this question has certain inspired me to check out all the bodily authors' works now haha

Given your honey of Chinese and Korean mangas, which would you similar to see have adaptations for anime as well?
question past @Crow_Black

Ooo yes, I would definitely say Who Made Me a Princess would brand a great "anime"(??) accommodation! With information technology's gorgeous fine art, some lovely animation, it would be crawly. Another ane I would dear to see get adapted would be Cheese in the Trap. The Manhwa has a K-Drama accommodation but I feel similar it would exist quite well-received by the anime community too. I also call back Nan Hao and Shang Feng would brand a swell adaptation? xix Days (i'g not talking near 91 Days) and Tamen de Gushi would make some amazingly entertaining adaptations likewise. And so, Her Tale of Shim Chong and even Vocal of the Long March as well (I believe vocal of the long march was getting a donghua or something but I'thousand not quite sure what happened). Even Love 10 would make one crazy anime adaptation.

Why is Tokyo Ghoul a 9?
question by @Just_Potato_

PLEASE!! 😭 It was amidst my first many anime and it'southward only so special to me lmao. Is information technology actually that bad thoughh the manga is good!
Okay I like it because white-haired kaneki is mmm.

Why did you love to e-engagement on mal?
question past @GhostViBritannia

Who said I loved information technology- 🙄 I hateful I uhhh-
I was an embarrassing child, 😭 I've matured a lot over this one yr I swear.
I don't know what I was thinkingg I would never again smh yeah.

Why don't you have any normal fetishes?
question by @buhngus

Normality is subjective though, don't you lot call back? 😩 YES BUNG Being INTO YANDERES IS FINE IMO BYE

Why exercise you lot heed to guys moaning?
question by @squished_lemon

WDYM WHY just because- 😭 I definitely don't wanna hear that from you though lemon. 🙄🙄

You mentioned earlier that yous loved to sing covers. Could y'all please sing a encompass in vocaroo for us all to listen to. So that we may listen to this beautiful talent of yours.

I've been waiting for this ✋😎 https://voca.ro/1adMAZIENwuw <3

MAL is sadly well known for its toxic customs and considering that you're a "Forum Influencer". How exercise you lot deal with conflict while on a thread with conflicting views on a topic?

That forum influencer matter isn't serious pls- 🥴 unless- 😎
How I deal with that honestly depends on my mood but I'll always exist on either of the 2 extremes. I'll either fight them actually badly or just ignore it altogether. ngl the fightx gives me so much more satisfaction though because idek why. I need therapy-

What advice would you lot give to any incoming new users?

Am I really the right person to be giving out advice though? 😥
Okay so, I gauge 1 slice of advice would be to not accept the forums seriously. Personal advice, possibly outset with the forum games or chat threads where you can usually find friendly people when you're still new. Check out the other boards if you lot similar but honestly stay away from casual word for as long as possible lmao.
Don't really wanna say this simply the website is filled with creeps then stay safe, especially if you're a minor. Follow bones internet rubber tips like not giving out whatever personal information (at least until you're sure that they're completely trustworthy but yes preferably don't at all).
Uhh yeah just have fun and don't permit it take over your life.

In the time you've spent here in MAL what practice you think is the greatest matter you've experienced and achieved?

That would ahem have to be the massive harem I have accumulated over time, 😍 got a huge number of simps on mal in my pocket and proud. 😎
Besides the but place I could openly flirt with girls considering I'm in the closet, 😩 hmu ladies 😳
Fabricated a lot of friends from across the world and sorta plant a condom space where I could talk to someone well-nigh how I feel
I also learnt sooo much most picture editing and all, I used to non even be able to resize an prototype when I was new lmaoo

but yeah my biggest achievement still remains my harem tho, 🥰 it's always expanding :))

You seem to be a big fan of literature and fine art in general. Do you desire to talk more about that and how information technology has adult over time? And do you think you similar or volition like those mediums more anime in the future?

Oh yeah, I've enjoyed reading books for as long as I can remember. I used to go to the library oft when I was younger as it was user-friendly and my parents refused to buy me books lol. I used to read only fiction though. Fantasy novels are fun nearly of the time. Yeah I started off with reading Harry Potter, Percy Jackson and all haha. Eventually, my taste matured and I got really into immature adult novels. Currently as well, young adult fantasy novels have to be my favourite thing 😩 plot with spicee. ✨ I had ane stage when I read almost every single loftier school romance novel I could find on kindle unlimited lol. Truly, I'1000 so experienced at this point, my friends call me their honey guru. 😤 (I'grand actually serious)
I besides used to read a lot of fanfiction, ✋🥴 yes I do seem similar that person, don't I? lmao
Well, I wouldn't really say I'chiliad a big fan of art? I call up I'd just say I've developed a liking towards aesthetic things. Being on mal for a while fabricated me dig effectually a lot for art to exercise my profile layouts and forum sets and then yeah I gauge I did somehow get more into fine art. I nigh definitely suck at drawing though. 🤡
Ohh yeah for sure- there was a time when I thought anime was the best thing ever made lmao I got so much thrill and enjoyment out of every show I watched. It'southward changed at present though and I don't really detect myself enjoying anything at all in the medium lol. I exercise however enjoy some good manhwa but yeah, I might stop watching anime altogether in the future. The medium feels too repetitive these days, at least to me. It's similar I have permanent burnout, 😭 it's not a question at this point, I'll have annihilation anything over anime 💀💀

How would you like to be remembered IRL ? We all know your reputation in MAL 🤭.

Hey hey what's that supposed to mean, 😡 my reputation on mal is godly
In example this wasn't obvious as hell, I'k an extremely extremely over-aggressive person. I wanna be the almost successful at any I practice lmao and actually accept this superiority complex that makes me feel similar I can actually be at the top of the world. Maybe I really would take around a few years agone, but then I got lazyyy af during quarantine and my attention span has go so bad. 😭 Fr believe me, the proper IQ exam I took as a child said I had a very high IQ lmao delight tell me the cyberspace doesn't lower it. 😥
Allow me be honest, I want to be a celebrity celebrity 😩 this is not just a desire. It is a Demand. 😔 I've taken part in all these reality shows hoping to really make my big break and stuff into the music industry but shit it took me a while to realise it was all rigged 🤡
I want to be incredibly famous, incredibly rich and amongst the peak people in the world or istg I volition never exist satisfied and happy. 😭😭
I wanna be remembered yeah every bit that person everyone wants to exist similar bye-

If you lot had a theme vocal, what would it be?

I think it'southward just the contrast betwixt the original function of the song and the remix. uhh kinda represented me and I really connected with information technology. I'chiliad also only obsessed with Euphoria soo
I'g not trying to be edgy frr 😭

Do yous see yourself leaving MAL in the virtually future?

YEAH LETS Go I was actually gonna go out simply then I got an interview offer and couldn't assistance myself lmao. Must go out my mark before leaving. 😤
I want to mainly leave the website because its kinda addicting and I wanna start properly focusing on real life because in the end, it'south the just 1 that actually matters.

Coolest1234D: @nextuniverse Cancel interview FR bro

😭😭 No I'k sorry I take it dorsum, yes I love this website and I volition stay for eternity.

I thought mal had everything I required for a long fourth dimension, until I also started using anilist. Information technology gave me then many more features I realised that mal should totally try to incorporate as well. I understand that this is an old website but yeah we tin always promise lol. Features like stats being included in the website instead of having to become to anime.plus for the same would exist useful. Then oh yeah this is one principal matter I would love to have here is automatically updating start and end dates. Information technology would be a reaaally useful feature fr.

Is there something unasked that you lot would similar to talk virtually?

I don't retrieve so, nix really comes to listen.

Whatsoever feedback on the interview format?

Well, I could've always got a better interviewer smh. 🙄 jk ily coolest yous did a adept job, didn't have any issues with it and it was fun besides. Definitely, respect you for conducting the interview even during difficult times

Coolest1234D: ily2..... you did amazing and were very understanding as an interviewee. I had lots of fun too.
