About Remus Badescu

Favorite Media

As he enjoys watching a variety of genres and themes, choosing only a few favorites is a rather daunting task for him. Regardless, some of the anime titles that he considers particularly impactful and memorable are: A Place Further Than The Universe, Madoka Magica, and From the New World. Whether it's dark and thought-provoking or positive and inspiring, Remus believes that every story has its audience. 

Author Details

Remus Badescu is a writer for ScreenRant's anime section. He discovered his passion for the medium as a child, watching shows like Death Note on late-night TV, and has been enthralled with it ever since. By obtaining a degree in Communication & Media from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, he also found his passion for writing and analyzing media pieces. 

Industry Focus

Although he also enjoys different types of media, Remus is particularly passionate about anime, manga, and manhwa of all kinds. This is why he primarily writes various lists, seeking to not only highlight lesser-known titles that deserve more attention, but also praise the ones that are highly regarded for a reason.
