heavenly_pearlFirst off, a reminder that those Petit Chara Sailor Moon and Mercury figures are still available for sale, although if I don't get any takers here by the end of the month, I'm thinking about putting them up for sale on eBay. I should also point out that the two extra Moons I have for sale are actually slightly different than the put-together one that I'm keeping in that the ones for sale have both their eyes opened (like the pic on the box). Same for Mercury: one is the same as the put-together one I'm keeping, but the other has both her eyes closed, with blush stickers on her cheeks.
Now, onto this 30 Day Anime Challenge I found on Tumblr, which is a little different than the one I did previous. Gonna do it all at once, though, just 'cause.
Day 1 - Very First Anime You Watched
Technically, Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid (just preordered the DVD release a few days ago!), but I didn't know it was anime at the time. The first anime I watched knowing it was anime was Sailor Moon.
Day 2 - Favorite Anime You've Watched So Far
Kaleido Star!
Day 3 - Favorite Male Anime Character Ever
Helios from Sailor Moon (although I'm more fond of his manga version).
Day 4 - Favorite Female Anime Character Ever
This is a tough one. I'd say it's a close tie between Sora from Kaleido Star and Ran from SuperGALS.
Day 5 - Anime You're Ashamed You Enjoyed
There was a similar question on the last 30 Day meme I did, but I couldn't think of any. This time I do have an answer: To-Love-Ru Darkness. It's just really fun to see just how far they can push things without crossing the line into outright pornography. (And, believe me, they push it really far.)
Day 6 - Anime You Want To See, But Haven't
Oh, tons! But if I can only pick one I'm most excited to watch, then it's probably Space Brothers.
Day 7 - Your Anime Crush
Helios (Sailor Moon), Yuri and Ken (both from Kaleido Star), Shigure and Hatori (both from Fruits Basket), Touya (Card Captor Sakura), Kyoya (Ouran High School Host Club), Yasu (for his personality) and Takumi (for his looks) (both from NANA), Makoto (Free!)...
Day 8 - Favorite Anime Couple
Helios/Chibiusa from Sailor Moon
Day 9 - Best Anime Villain
Light from Death Note (Villain protagonists count, right?)
Day 10 - Favorite Fighter Anime
Depends on what is meant by the term "fighter anime", but the first one that came to mind when I read the question was Yu Yu Hakusho.
Day 11 - Favorite Mecha Anime
Tie between Evangelion and Rah-Xephon, although Gurren Lagann is no slouch either.
Day 12 - Saddest Anime Scene
Oh, so hard to choose... MaybeNuriko's death scene in Fushigi Yugi? OrMaes Hughes's funeral in Fullmetal Alchemist? Or several scenes in Clannad?
Day 13 - Anime Character You Are Most Similar To
Sawako from Kimi Ni Todoke (which I'm in the middle of watching right now)
Day 14 - Anime That Never Gets Old No Matter How Many Times You've Watched It
Kaleido Star, Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura
Day 15 - Favorite Animal Sidekick, Pet, Or Summoning From Any Anime
Pegasus from Sailor Moon and Kero from Card Captor Sakura
Day 16 - Anime With The Best Animation
Well, almost anything from Kyoto Animation: The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Free!, Sound! Euphonium, Amagi Brilliant Park, etc. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works was also pretty gorgeous.
Day 17 - Favorite Supporting Male Character
Excluding Helios, which I already picked for favorite male character, I'd have to say Yuri from Kaleido Star. Or maybe Shigure from Fruits Basket? Well, actually, let's just say every character mentioned on Day 7.
Day 18 - Favorite Supporting Female Character
Another hard one... Layla from Kaleido Star would probably be my absolute favorite.
Day 19 - Most Epic Scene Ever
Instrumentality from the End of Evangelion movie.
Day 20 - Anime Character That Gets On Your Nerves
I'm watching Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers this season, and let's just say I would not be disappointed if Chamot ended up being the seventh and everybody killed her...
Day 21 - Favorite Goofy Anime Character
Tamaki from Ouran High School Host Club
Day 22 - Favorite Weapon, Gear, Or Armor Used In An Anime
The Death Note from Death Note.
Day 23 - Favorite Attack Used In An Anime
I forgot what it is called, but the final attack used in the Sailor Moon S movie, the one where all the senshi are positioned in a circle around Sailor Moon.
Day 24 - Moment That Shocked You The Most In Any Anime
I'm too spoiler-happy to be surprised very much, butNephrite/Neflyte's death the first time I watched Sailor Moon was definitely a shock.
Day 25 - Saddest Anime Death
See Day 12.
Day 26 - Best Anime Fight
Fate/stay night: UBW had a couple of really good ones in the first half.
Day 27 - Most Badass Scene From Any Anime Character
Maka Albarn from Soul Eater punching out Asura.
Day 28 - Favorite Quote From Any Anime Character
I forget the exact wording -- I have it written down somewhere, but can't find it at the moment -- but at the very end of Kaleido Star, Layla says something along the lines of "You're no longer my dream, Sora. Now you're my pride," and I seriously tear up every time I remember it. I'm blinking back tears right now!
Day 29 - An Anime You Wished Was Real
Kimi ni Todoke. It's just so...nice.
Day 30 - An Anime You Wished Never Ended and Continued On
Sailor Moon, maybe? I at least wanted to see Chibiusa all grown up with her own team of senshi and being romantic with Helios!
