About Remus Badescu
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. In order to deepen his understanding of the industry, he obtained a degree in Communication & Media from the Erasmus University of Rotterdam, where he also found his passion for writing and analyzing pieces of media.
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.
