Anime Meme snagged from ayadec
May. 26th, 2011 05:07 pm1. Name an anime series in which you have seen every episode at least twice:
Um, pretty much all the anime series I own? I like to rent from Netflix first, then if I know I'll want to watch it again, I'll buy it. (That being said, there are a few titles I haven't got around to rewatching yet, but I intend to get to them this summer, now that there's nothing good on TV.)
2. List anime you can’t/couldn’t miss:
Kaleido Star, Fruits Basket, Death Note, Super GALS, Princess Nine, Pretear, Fushigi Yugi, Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Fullmetal Alchemist... You know, I think that's enough.
3. Name a voice actor that would make you more inclined to watch an anime or dub:
For dubs, probably Luci Christian. Subtitled, it doesn't really matter, because I watch it by default.
4. Name a voice actor who would make you less likely to watch a show:
If the show catches my eye, I'll watch it. Doesn't matter who the actors are.
5. Name an anime you can, and do, quote from:
Sailor Moon, I suppose. Oh, and Gurren Lagann.
6. Name an anime you like that no one else enjoys:
That no one else enjoys? Nothing really comes to mind, but Kaleido Star certainly deserves more love!
7. Name an anime which you’ve been known to sing the theme song:
Well, lots, if you count singing along to the opening credits while they're playing. I do that most of the time. But just out of the blue? Probably the openings to Sailor Moon and Someday's Dreamers.
8. List anime you would recommend everyone to watch:
Isn't this the same as #2? But because it bears repeating: KALEIDO STAR!
9. Name the anime series you own:
You really want me to list them all? Okay, you asked for it: Kaleido Star, Super GALS, Death Note, Fruits Basket, Pretear, Fushigi Yugi, Card Captor Sakura, Sailor Moon, Fullmetal Alchemist, Ouran High School Host Club, Moribito: Guardian of the Spirit, Trigun, Kaze no Stigma, Someday's Dreamers, Rah-Xephon, Evangelion, Princess Tutu, Le Chevalier D'eon, Witch Hunter Robin, Familiar of Zero, X, Emma, Full Metal Panic, Gurren Lagann, Bamboo Blade, Romeo + Juliet, Slayers, Hare + Guu, Petite Princess Yucie, Peach Girl, Angelic Layer, School Rumble, Ultramaniac, Gilgamesh, Wedding Peach, Rumbling Hearts, Ghost Hunt, Kanon, Nabari no Ou, A Little Snow Fairy Sugar, Paradise Kiss, Nerima Daikon Brothers, Negima, Magic Knight Rayearth, Chance Pop Sessions, Mythical Detective Loki ~ Ragnarok, Ah! My Goddess (TV series), Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo, I My Me! Strawberry Eggs, Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad, The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Suzuka, Diamond Daydreams... And I think that's all. *collapses*
10. Name a voice actor who launched his/her entertainment career in another medium, but has surprised you with his/her acting choices in anime:
Nobody comes to mind... No, wait, I'm not sure if this really counts, but Ernie Manouse. I'm from the Houston area, where ADV did their dubbing, and I first knew Ernie as a talk show host on HoustonPBS, so it totally took me by surprise when I saw him listed as a voice actor on a couple of anime. He usually only played bit characters, but still, not bad.
11. What is your favorite episode of your favorite series?
Oh, my, this is impossible to answer, but I'll point out a few.
Kaleido Star - The episode where Sora's mom has her baby.
Sailor Moon - The Stars episode where Usagi and Seiya go on a date or Minako's two-timing episode from SuperS. It's pretty much a tie.
Fruits Basket - Hatori's backstory.
Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu! - The hot springs episode. Funniest. Episode. Ever.
12. List anime you keep meaning to watch, but you just haven’t gotten around to yet:
Man, lots, because stupid Netflix rarely gets newer anime nowadays. I guess the two I most want to see are the second seasons of Code Geass and Black Butler. I'll probably end up buying them eventually, sight unseen, since I already plan to buy the first seasons. There's also Utena, FLCL, Toradora...
13. Ever quit watching an anime series because it was so bad?
No, I'm a completist. The only way I'll stop is if I'm forced to stop (Netflix doesn't have later seasons or is missing discs, or later seasons were never licensed).
14. Name an anime that’s made you cry multiple times:
Gah. This meme keeps wanting me to make long lists! Well, to keep it short, I'll go with Kaleido Star, Sailor Moon, Card Captor Sakura, Pretear, and Fruits Basket.
15. What do you eat when you watch anime?
Actually, I don't tend to each much when watching anime. It's too much of a distraction from the subtitles.
16. How often do you watch anime?
Almost every day. Seriously. (Netflix is great for that.)
17. What’s the last anime you watched?
Disc 4 of E's Otherwise. (Disc 5 came in today, so guess what I'll be watching tonight.)
18. What’s your favorite/preferred genre of anime?
Eh, it's hard to pin down. I like magical girl shows, sports shows, romances, mysteries, shows dealing with the supernatural, comedies, dramas... Pretty much anything!
19. What was the first anime you were obsessed with?
Sailor Moon, and I'm still obsessed!
20. What anime do you wish you never watched?
Well, according to my rankings, Angel Sanctuary is my least favorite anime, but that's kind of unfair, because it really did have potential. It just really was not meant to be a one volume OAV.
21. What’s the weirdest anime you enjoyed?
Probably Hare + Guu. It's ridiculous, but hilarious!
22. What anime scared you the most?
Ghost Hunt -- in particular, "The Bloodstained Labyrinth" case. It was partially inspired by real-life serial killer Countess Elizabeth Bathory, and her legend honestly scares the heck out of me.
23. What is the funniest anime show you have ever watched?
Full Metal Panic: Fumoffu, but special mentions should also go to Ouran High School Host Club, Hare + Guu, School Rumble, and Nerima Daikon Brothers.
