'Lo livejournal,
Predictably, I did not go into work today & so I am getting out all of my tom-foolery in one go.
This has involved a lot of fruitless reading (Hetalia, you own my heart), watching Harry Potter movies, eating copious amounts of chocolate, drinking wine, and not doing anything that could be remotely productive to society.
Also, I'm like totally off the radar. People couldn't find me if they tried. My sneaky ninja self enjoys this. The only problem is the lack of music at this undisclosed location. Still, beggers can't be choosers I suppose.
So, since I tire of Mr. Potter, I decided to do a meme.
Day 1 - Very first anime:
And I still think that it might be the prettiest anime I've ever seen.
Day 2 - Favorite anime you've watched so far:
Oh, that's hard. Probably...
Fullmetal alchemist, Brotherhood. I really loved the first anime but this one seemed to draw in all the different characters better.
Day 3 - Your anime crush:
You know, I don't think I have one. But I would happy be drinking buddies with...
Renji from Bleach! :D
Day 4 - Anime you're ashamed you enjoyed:
/ Am ashamed that I'm enjoying.
It's adorable and fun and about how FRIENDSHIP IS AWESOME. Nobody ever dies - like, ever - everyone has a Deep Dark Past and there is an Insiduous Evil Dude who is totally plotting evil destruction. What's not to love? XD
Day 5 - Anime character you feel you are most like (or wish you were):
Oh god, must you ask?
Love me! Love me and my cute fucking bear! XD
Watashi-wa, Canada-desu!
Day 6 - Most annoying anime character:
GAH.
Allen from Escaflowne. I HATE CHU. STOP SNOGGING HITOME.
Day 7 - Favorite anime couple:
Oh god, this is actually really hard. I was tempted by a lot of the canon OTP couples out there (Van & Hitomi, Kagome & Inuyasha) but...
France & England OTP. Serious. Historical. Precedent.
Day 8 - Most epic scene ever:
Bleach pretty much thrives on bad dialogue and epic fighting pr0n.

Have an AMV to attest to this fact.
Day 9 - Saddest anime scene
I STARTED CRYING IN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF THIS MOVIE AND DID NOT STOP.
Click to view
Grave of the fireflies - omfg, most depressing movie ever.
Day 10 - Favorite slice of life anime
Working!! Adorable - about random japanese teenagers working in a restaurant. Somehow, it works. (Ha, pun).
Day 11 - Favorite mecha series
It's not really a mecha anime but...
Escaflowne still owns a big chunk of my heart.
Day 12 - Best anime soundtrack
Oh, that's tough. A lot of animes have really good soundtracks.......
If I had to pick one, I'd say:
Really interesting & really different music. Jazzy and - well - space cowboy-y. And Mai Yamane makes me melt when she sings. Phenomenal (see #30)
Day 13 - An anime you didn't think you would like but ended up loving
Um-pum-pum..... This doesn't really happen to me. I think that I'm a little surprised that I enjoyed D.N.Angel, but only because it has, inherently, very few redeeming features.
Except, yanno, wings. I like wings.
Day 14 - Current (or most recent) anime wallpaper
I actually don't do anime wallpapers! does that mean I'm not a real fan??
Day 15 - Characters whose hair you'd kill for
Yanno, I actually really like my hair and wouldn't trade it for anything else.
Except maybe France's.
Maybe it's Maybelline.
Day 16 - Favorite crack pairing
Is it weird that I have to think about this one?
*five minutes later*
GAH I GIVE UP. CANADA AND SWITZERLAND. THEIR PR0N IS MOUNTAINOUS AND ICY. XD
Day 17 - Funniest scene ever
Click to view
I LOVE DOGS.
Roy Mustang from Fullmetal Alchemist.
Day 18 - Best fight scene ever
Oh God, just go see #8
Day 19 - Mandatory swimsuit post
Bleach. Seriously?
Day 20 - Favorite shoujo anime
I don't know what this word means. :'(
Day 21 - Anime that made you cry
I cry in a lot of animes. It's my secret sappy side.
I'm pretty sure NANA must've made me cry at some point.
Day 22 - Favorite boy’s love couple (or yuri couple, if you don't like that sort of thing)
OMG
Yuki & Shuichi from Gravitation. Just, yes.
Day 23 - Anime you think had the best, or most intriguing art
Maybe not the best art or maybe not the most intriguing art but damned beautiful and well-done.
Blood the Last Vampire - movie.
Day 24 - Favorite anime hero or heroine
Okay, this is pretty obvious.
I would have to try not to love Ichigo from Bleach.
Day 25 - Best anime villian
I actually don't really love anime villains. Most of the time, they're really 2-dimensional. The ones I end up loving, aren't really all that villainous; they tend to just have really warped ideas about what is and is not right.
That being said:
Delphine from Last Exile was a piece of work.
Day 26 - A character everyone loves but you just can't see it
Less a character and more just an entire show. I simply did not like Wolf's Rain. It was pretty; I liked the characters; the ending is bollocks and it had one of the most depressing views of humanity I've ever come across in anime (and that's saying a lot!).
Look, obligatory art!
Day 27 - Favorite anime opening theme song
Click to view
First opening theme for Bleach - Asterisk by Orange Range. I still dance to this one.
Day 28 - Favorite pokemon
I HATE ALL POKEMON.
Day 29 - Favorite school uniform
I WOULD WEAR ALL OF THESE UNIFORMS FOR FUN.
More Hetalia - from Gakuen universe.
Day 30 - Favorite anime ending theme
Click to view
Ending theme of Cowboy Bebop - The Real Folk Blues by Mai Yamane & the Seatbelts. Holy God, can this woman ever sing.

If anything, this meme is simply more proof that Hetalia owns my life.
