1. How long have you been an anime fan?
Ever since I can remember. When I was an ugly kid and my grandma stayed home with me because I hated kindergarten, in other words when I was 5 or 6, my favorite time of the day was 1PM when I watched Dragon Ball. I remember DB even now, that's how much it influenced me. Then I watched Sailor Moon and thought it was shitty so I dropped it. Yay for being the first kid to ever think Sailor Moon sucked?
2. What was your first anime?
Dragon Ball <3
3. What was your first manga?
*cough*... Bondage Fairies >___>
4. What is your favourite anime? Why?
Fatality...
This is hard and I don't want to be unfair to the anime I've yet to see... Till now, heck, Gintama & Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei! I watched them so many times and I still can't get bored of them. When I don't know what to do I watch an episode from one of these series, it's super effective for a mood change.
5. What is your favourite manga? Why?
Kuroshitsuji.
There are at least 10 others who are thiiiiis~ close to how much I love Kuroshitsuji, but unfortunately for them, it still tops. I love it because of the plot and art. Simple as that, the characters are amazing (minus Lizzie, I hope she dies) and the designs are breathtaking. Contract with a demon isn't the most unique of plots, but Ciel has the ability to make it interesting. He's the most amazing character in my opinion, he manages to make Sebastian's lack of personality into something charming.
6. What is your favourite manga genre? Why?
Mature & comedy. In this order. Anything works for me as long as it's mature, because it often means the plot is more twisted and amazing. The comedy is just perfect for as a mood lightener, as long as it's good, like Beelzebub was in the beginning, I laughed my ass off in the first chapters. Then it concentrated around fights...
7. How much have your manga tastes changed since you first started watching anime?
Eh... not much? I still love hentai as I did back then and I love explicit manga, for example if someone's leg gets broken I like to see the bone, not splatter on a panel. Keep in mind that I was 10 or so when I first bought a PC (good times) and I started getting the hang of internet at around 13, so don't think I was a crazy 6 year old who read gore manga with a creepy grin.
8. What anime/manga have you been obsessed with over the years? Do you still like it?
I can't think of any. I've loved Kuroshitsuji for 3 years now, but it's the same with others as well. But as in really long term, none. I could happily watch a Dragon Ball episode, but I wouldn't obsess over it.
There are some manga I've re-read a bunch of times in the last years: Air Gear, Kuroshitsuji, Hellsing and Berserk.
9. Do you prefer more mainstream manga or less popular manga?
Sometimes mainstream manga are mainstream for a reason, because they're good. I enjoyed Bleach with a passion till the Aizen Arc ended. Honestly, Bleach should've ended with it, this new one bores me to no end. Then it's Beelzebub that is mainstream and I love, Hetalia and that's about it.
Though at the end of the day I find myself reading manga I can barely find any decent fanart of *sob**sob*
10. What is your favourite anime/manga character?
How about a trilogy? Ciel, Gintoki, Alucard.
11. Do you have a anime/manga crush? If so, who?
Just one? I love so many anime guys at one time I can't even decide who I love most. Right now they're: Ciel (as always), Inugami Akira (*hipster glasses* you've probably never heard of him), Alucard, Katsura, Gintoki, Okarin and Yukio.
12. Do you have a favourite anime/manga pairing? If not, make something up (you might suddenly fall in love with it!)
I love ShuraxYukio. She's 26, he's 16, what could possibly go wrong.
13. Do you like reading/writing fanfics?
I love to read them, some are amazing, I got a lot of essay worthy structures from them, plus many have awesome life philosophies.
14. Do you like drawing/looking at fanart? If so, for what manga, or does it not matter?
I love to look at fanart for almost all anime. It's best if I know the anime/manga, it's easier to understand the symbols behind the art.
I can't really draw, so I don't want to post anything less than awesome or at least good.
15. What is your favourite song in an anime (it can be background music or OP/ED songs)?
OP & ED. I can't say the dun-duuun-dunnn in the background means much to me.
16. What is your least favourite anime/manga? Why?
One Piece. The characters look horrible.
17. What is your favourite video game? Why?
F.E.A.R
Supernatural and sheer awesomeness.
18. What is your favourite kind of videogame?
Shooters and strategy.
19. What is your favourite anime movie?
Rawr~ I don't like any of them.
20. Was this quiz fun?
I had a lot to dig from my memory so it was cool.
EXTRA!
A manga I'd like to recommend to all you who love serious manga.
Wolf Guy
It's about a werewolf student, Akira Inugami, who's apparently the last of his kind. He struggles to fit in, but because of his wolf-like charm and pride he's always targeted by delinquents. However, unlike most manga where the strong main character beats up the rest, he has a rather peculiar way of dealing with their violence.
The manga's art style is realistic and very detailed, with an accurate anatomy. The plot deals with the daily problems of Japan in a fantasy scenario. The rating is mature so expect to see details when fights happen and also nudity.
I'll post some pics for you to see what's it about. It surely captured my heart so unless you are a fan of shiny shoujo and Prince Charming-like plots, I'm sure you'll enjoy it as well.
