(no subject)
I swear, I will start posting more substantial things here.
but for now,
Name [real name]: Crystal
Japanese names you've used [or still use!]: Don’t have any.
Current age: Young.
Age you began watching anime: I started watching it consciously at 13.
First anime series: Gundam SEED. [Yes, I know.]
Age you began streaming/downloading anime: 13 and a half
First streamed/downloaded anime: Probably Gundam SEED as well. They didn’t air very frequently where I live.
Est. amount of anime series you've seen: Over 20.
Est. amount of anime episodes you've seen: Over 300, I think.
Do you see yourself watching anime 10 years from now?: Hell yes.
List your current top 10 anime from highest to lowest. In VERY ROUGH order of preference.
1. Kino no Tabi
2. Baccano!
3. Death Note
4. ef- a tale of memories
5. Loveless [even if it had the worst ending known to mankind]
6. Evangelion
7. Saiunkoku Monogatari
8. Bleach
9. GTO
10. Ouran High School Host Club
Shoujo or Shounen?: Shounen, most of the time. Sometimes when a good shoujo comes around I’ll watch it.
Subbed, Dubbed, or RAW: I wouldn’t normally watch dubs, but in the rare occasion that I do, it’s always in Cantonese and therefore not too bad. I prefer subs out of all of them because my Japanese is abysmal.
Plot or Episodic?: I like plot and character development; episodic tends to bore me a bit after a while.
Preferred amount of episodes in a series: Either 12 or 26 depending on the plot, because then they have no time for filler material.
Preferred Genre: Action/Adventure with a side dish of Psychological Thriller. :D
Preferred year of anime: None.
How many series do you watch at a time?: Around two or three.
How many episodes do you watch in a day? [average]: Two or three, methinks. When I’m on holiday and bored the amount increases dramatically.
Favorite Opening song: Re-sublimity- KOTOKO [Kannazuki no Miko], Tsuki no Curse- Okina Reika [Loveless], Euphoric field- Tenmon ft ELISA [ef- a tale of memories]
Favorite Ending theme song: Sayonara Solitaire- Saeko Chiba [Chrno Crusade], agony- KOTOKO, Saikou no Kataomoi- Sachi Tainaka [Saiunkoku Monogatari]
Favorite Opening animation: Baccano! Pwns all, but the Bleach 1st OP isn’t too bad either.
Favorite Ending animation: I haven’t actually watched anything with amazing ending animation, but the Parakiss and Chrno Crusade one are good. Scratch that, the Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei one rules.
Manga Preferences
List your current top 10 manga from highest to lowest.
In all truth, I haven’t read that much manga. But I will list whatever I’ve read [which is mainly shoujo, because apparently, I have to be of a certain age to buy Bleach. Agh.].
1. Saiunkoku Monogatari
2. Gakuen Alice
3. Loveless
4. Ouran High School Host Club
5. Death Note
Anime or Manga? I watch more anime, but I like manga more as it’s easier to read them again.
Buy or Download Manga?: I buy most manga, but the ones I download are only so because it’s either not here or too expensive for my measly budget.
Weekly Chapter or Monthly Volume?: Volumes.
Do you buy weekly manga magazines? [Shounen Jump, Shoujo Beat]: No.
How much manga do you read at a time?: Most of the time, I read one until I’ve caught up with it, and then I read another one and wait for the releases once I catch up, which in effect means that unless it’s finished I read around 3 or 4 at a time.
How many chapters/volumes do you read a day?: It depends on the manga, but normally around three chapters at a go. I don’t read manga daily though.
Do you read the manga before the anime comes out? [or before you watch the anime]: Normally it’s the other way one, which isn’t really a good thing…
Do you ever read manga in the book store?: When they don’t have a plastic wrapping, yes.
...and got kicked out?: Haha, no.
Character Preferences
List your top 3 guys
Tieria Erde [Gundam 00]
Onizuka Eikichi [GTO]
L [ Death Note]
Tieria’s there because he is able to emit homosexual overtones on a TV show that’s really supposed to be aimed for kids and get away with it. Onizuka is self explanatory. L is just…yeah.
List your top 3 girls
Kino [Kino no Tabi]
Ennis [Baccano!]
Shuurei [Saiunkoku Monogatari]
And in turn, the females could own probably take over the world together if they wanted to.
Which anime character would you marry if you could?: I don’t think I would. I prefer real life people, thanks.
Cutest anime character: Only Hunny-senpai from Ouran can get away with this. Either that, or all the stuff I watch has ‘cute’ anime characters that I find useless.
Most annoying anime character: Hm. I will say the main character from Air, who would have probably gotten away with it too if it hadn’t been for the fact she was going to high school and was way to old to be acting as such.
Best anime couple: …You want me to choose? I’d just choose Lockon and Tieria to laugh at Sunrise, but it’s probably Firo and Ennis from Baccano! At the moment.
Leading characters or supporting?: It depends of the show makes me like the supporting ones or the leading ones more.
Male or Female protagonist: I don’t mind.
Yandere or Tsundere?: SO tempted to say Yandere because I love how crazy they are, but in truth they scare me a bit.
Large cast or small cast?: Large, but only of the cast is handled Baccano!-style. If not, then it’s a small one for me.
Anime & Manga Merchandise
Amount of Anime DVD's you own: I own all of the GSEED stuff and the new Appleseed., I don’t actually know how much that is altogether.
Amount of Manga Volumes you own: 14.
Do you have any anime models/figures? [if so, list some!]: I only get Gunpla, it’s too fun not to.
Do you have any anime key chains?: No.
Do you own anime video games?: No.
Any cosplay costumes?: No, but I would like one.
List some anime merchandise you own: Loads of Gunpla, A Newtype issue, various light novels and an Evangelion Poster that I haven’t bothered putting up yet. It would be a bit strange seeing Ayanami Rei hung up in my room.
How long do you spend in an anime store?: Around an hour.
... and have you ever been kicked out for taking too many pictures: No.
Are you willing to spend over $500 for an anime you love? Probably.
What did you think of this survey? Not bad, it kept me occupied for a good long time.
