Anime quiz
I saw this come up on my Friends page and had fun answering it! Insaneladybug, I confess to agreeing with some of your answers (i.e., leaving them there.)
1. My first anime: Speed Racer. I think. It was a long time ago.
2. My favorite anime: Princess Tutu.
3. The first anime character I was obsessed with: Either Duck... or the Yamato. Maybe 'impressed' is a better word.
4. My anime OTP: Hayao Miyazaki and Ikuko Ito, in a collaboration that, as far as I know, may never happen. But it would be excellent. Both are storytellers.
5. An anime I can't stand: I've only watched so many, most on recommendation from my sister (except for Speed Racer, which was before she was born, and Starblazers because she was like two. But Dad liked that one enough to get us our first color TV. I think we went and got it and ran back and hooked it up just in time to catch that afternoon's episode....) Anyway, if I don't like it I turn it off.
6. An anime I want to watch: Can't think of one offhand. --I second that; I do have some waiting.
7. An anime I never finished: Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood, due to work and channel issues.
8. The most recent anime I finished: Death Note, not long ago-- on tape from my sister, of course.
9. An anime I never thought of watching but fell in love with: Princess Tutu
10. My favorite genre of Anime: There's genres? (Okay, I knew that.) Haven't seen enough to have firm preferences, I guess.
11. Shonen or Shojo: No speak Japanese
12. My favorite anime character of all time: Just one?! ... (!) Alphonse Elric? Duck? The entire Tutu ensemble, including the horse? Ein? Chihiru/ Sen? The cat in Trigun?
13. An anime that I introduced to a friend: I'd love to say Princess Tutu. But I don't recall any at all... Terry Pratchett and Pete Abrams, yes, but no anime yet.
14. The anime that I am currently watching: None.
15. An anime that never gets old no matter how many times I watch it: Princess Tutu. There is a pattern here.
16. If I own any anime merchandise: A bit-- DVD's and an Alphonse Elric in armor I found at a yard sale. And a Duck key ring that sits round the neck of my Schleich phoenix/ firebird.
17. Yaoi or Yuri: Neither. (Okay, I know roughly what one of those words means.)
18. If I've ever been to an anime convention: No.
19. Who is my favorite anime voice actor: I guess I can't nominate Mel Blanc.
20. Sub or Dub? Dub, so I can listen. But I may be spoilt by some decent translations.
21. If I could have any anime character's hair style, who would it be: I like my own hair. (I'll take that answer too.)
22. Manga or Anime? Anime.
We skipped 23 and 24.
25. If any of my friends or family watches anime: My sister and one younger guy from work, but I don't recognize the ones he talks about.
26. If I listen to any anime music: Princess Tutu is a. cheating but b. my answer. This is because so much of it already existed, for any who haven't seen it.
27. If I'm following any ongoing anime series: No.
28. If I've ever been to an anime club: No.
29. If I've ever cried over an anime: Don't think so.
30. What my last anime wallpaper was: None ever. Yet.
