Hello, I'm Clawshrimpy, you may remember me from such shitstorms as "Real Robots should be Realistic" and "TTGL Syndrome" on the forums. I feel bad whenever I get into any kind of fight here, though, so I really don't mean to hate on anything anybody likes, except out of a feeling to need to WhiteKnight or defend the things I do like, especially when it's compared to something that's more genereally accepted than what I do like.

A little bit about myself, I'm male, I have a passion for science-fiction of all types, but particularly of the HumongousMecha anime genre, Full disclosure, I'm autistic, I have a persecution complex, and I have a hard time getting along with other, especially when trying to present an argument in a way where people will not rage at me. I have little to no friends in RealLife , and I have to awkwardly have to argue with strangers on the internet to have much dialogue with people with my interests. I'm an aspiring critical analyst of sci-fi and writer.

I review HumongousMecha and other sci-fi anime at my blog and through blip.tv which can be found [[http://appliedphlebotinum.wordpress.com here]] Said work also have a page on TVTropes for it [[http://tinyurl.com/297ahbb here]]

!!Works disliked and critically debated by Clawshrimpy:
* TengenToppaGurrenLagann
* DigimonAdventure02
* MobileSuitGundam (as a franchise as a whole, but especially ZetaGundam , GundamSEED, GundamSEEDDestiny and MobileSuitGundam00 )
* Code Geass (bugs him since some of the people behind CodeGeass were responsible for ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS CASE:Irvine, which is a BerserkButton for him.)
** ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS CASE: Irvine (for attempting to turn the ''VOTOMS'' series into something more Gundam or Geass-ish, upsets him to the point of FanDiscontinuity)
* StarDriver (for mostly borrowing from both TengenToppaGurrenLagann and CodeGeass , and otherwise being heavier on the ReverseHarem and not so much on the ScienceFiction or Mecha
* almost every show in the Brave Series that isn't GaoGaiGar, for reasons of varying worth



!!Tropes associated with Clawshrimpy:
* AccentuateTheNegative: He's a CausticCritic internet reviewer of giant robot cartoons from Japan and a somewhat hardcore ScienceFiction analyst.
* BerserkButton (Has oh so many, probably the most notable is people "turning their brain off" who watch HumongousMecha shows and not giving them credit as ScienceFiction and not questioning plot holes. Another is he HATES people who call most of what he likes, but particularly GaoGaiGar or other BraveSeries "kiddie" or MerchandiseDriven and DOUBLY so if it's done att he same time as trying to proves other shows like TengenToppaGurrenLagann and show that "discourage thinking critically" (in his mind) are "better"
* CausticCritic: his mecha anime review videos, although he does try to adopt some kind of even-handed approach, as he admires Chuck of SciFiDerbis and uses that format as the "style" of his own reviews.
* CreatorWorship: for Ryosuke Takahashi, the man behind ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS and head writer of GaoGaiGar.
* ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike: has been accused of this before
** GushingAboutShowsYouLike: comes hand in hand with the above, often resulting in using stuff he likes to help him articulate what bugs him about other shows. Could be seen as bizzare WhiteKnighting
* FanDiscontinuity (as far as he's concerned, ArmoredTrooperVOTOMS OVAs CASE: Irvine and FINDER didn't happen, also does this with most forms of AllThereInTheManual)
* FanDumb
* HypocriticalFandom
* NostalgiaFilter
* Squick: does not enjoy Fanservice nor Gorn.
