Pablo Hey Orange-chan, welcome to the forum.
Can't say I relate to shipping, but you'll find plenty of people who do. I'm mostly watching anime for the art or story, and don't really speculate anything outside of that. Antimainstream plot, I can definitely agree with! The more unique, the better.
Anyway, hope you'll have a good time despite the fact that it's been a little quiet. If you'd like, feel free to create a suggestion list, or more threads in the discussion section, if there's anime in particular you'd like to suggest or talk about.
