Harus said: you have a lot of anime with just 1 episode watched... are you going to finish them all? how do you normally organize yourself to watch anime? marathon 1 by 1 or just watch all at the same time? Eventually, I usually just put 1 in them since they're the ones i'm gonna watch next, just so I don't forget. Though sometimes a better anime will show up and that can delay some of the anime i'm watching next. Tarotist said: When you go to an anime's page on MAL, you can see the Rating (G, PG-13, R - 17, etc.). Take a look at some of your favorite anime. Do you agree with the ratings that you see, or do you think the rating should be changed based on what you saw from the anime? I think most of them deserve their ratings from what i've seen so far. |

| I've seen a lot of people requesting for anime that contain an OP character. Is it necessarily a good thing for a character to be excessively powerful? Do you think an anime containing an overpowered character makes it good? |

Do you think an anime containing an overpowered character makes it good? It all depends on which character you're talking about. I've seen that some people don't like OP characters because they feel it ruins the action but lots of animes that have those kind of characters are good, but mostly for the story they have. In my personal opinion i'd say yes since i'm very into shows with powerful characters. |

| You're in the grand finals of a competition, and you're final opponent just so happens to be your greatest rival. In terms of skill and knowledge of the competition, you are both equal. However, what separates you from your opponent is a trait that you excel at. If you were to choose between the 3 "S's", which of them would you choose to overcome your opponent? Speed to outrun your opponent? Strength to overpower your opponent? Or Stamina to outlast your opponent? |

| Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Wednesday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 40! As always, if you feel like participating please answer this question game until Sunday, 7pm CET. Please check for your local time zone if you can´t do this survey before Sunday! Don´t spoil yourself! Don´t click the next spoiler button until you have answered the question/step you are currently at. Also don´t take this survey too seriously and have fun! ^^ This Survey is a bit longer and different from what you guys are used to. Therefore the Deadline will be expanded until Tuesday the 24th! The survey was entirely created by ftFate! Fate´s Survival Challenge! Step 1 For this survey, you are allowed to nominate 9 (or even more, if you feel like going crazy) anime (or manga) characters. Or if you want the shorter version, you can skip step 3. Said anime characters will be your team in an upcoming tournament which will have both mental and physical challenges. You may nominate anyone that has a MAL entry, but that’s the only requirement to join. Surprise! (Okay, probably not). Your team was the only team that signed up, so your team members have to fight each other! But fear not, they have all received the blessing of the fat cat from Aria, so they each start with nine lives. Unfortunately for some characters though, any resurrection/reincarnation/immortality abilities are turned off for these lives. If you ever only have 2 surviving characters, move straight to step 3. But now, tournament time! Step 2 Challenge 1: You have to follow the instructor to the tournament area! This turns out to be quite the long run, through various obstacles and terrains! In fact he’s not even running to the tournament area, just a nonsense path to see who gives up first… You are allowed to follow him by any means you want, but if you ever are outside of a kilometers range from him, you lose. The nominee to lose first loses 5 lives, the nominee that loses second loses 3 lives and the nominee to lose third lose 1 life. Challenge 2: After 3 people gave up or otherwise failed, the instructor now leads the nominees to the actual tournament area. But sadly, there is a giant Sphinx guarding it. To enter you must either defeat it in battle, solve it’s riddle or otherwise trick it to let you past… but this is no ancient Sphinx with weak physical attributes and outdated riddles. It’s a Terminator one (with built-in Wi-fi) built for combat, and it has modern riddles to challenge even the smartest of minds. What nominees get past it regardless of this? Anyone who doesn’t loses 3 lives. Challenge 3: Inside the area, you are brought to meet with the person hosting the tournament. To your dismay, he reveals himself to be none other than Urobutcher, laughing maniacally at the chance to torture the nominees in order to increase viewership and profits. And since torturing popular characters would bring in more viewership, they naturally get a harder time. Rank your characters according to amount of MAL favorites they have, starting from the highest. All nominees lose x-n lives, where x is the amount of nominees you have left in the tournament and n is it’s place in the rankings you just made. Step 3 Challenge 4: Now it’s time for the actual tournament to start! It has 4 challenges, each corresponding to a mental or physical ability… starting with Dexterity! Here the nominees are to run an obstacle course with various challenges testing their Dexterity! The nominee who is slowest loses three lives, the second slowest nominee loses two lives and the third slowest nominee loses two lives. The fastest gain two lives. Challenge 5: The next challenge is Intelligence! Each character has to take a test which tests both IQ and knowledge such as Biology, Geography or Philosophy. The nominee that scores lowest loses three lives, the second lowest scorer loses two lives and the third lowest scorer loses one life. The highest scorer gains two lives. Challenge 6: The next challenge is Strength! So honest lifting it is! Or as honest as you want, each nominee has to lift weights, and the one who manages to lift the heaviest weights wins! So who is the strongest? The nominee that manages to lift the least loses three lives, the nominee that manages to lift the second least loses two lives, and the nominee that manages to lift the third least loses one life. The one lifting the heaviest weights gains two lives. Challenge 7: The last challenge is Charisma! Here the nominees have to do some kind of artistic performance to impress the judges, using whatever tricks they want to! Sadly for some, the judges are immunity to magic and fear, so no spellcasting or threatening. The judges then gets to give points based on the performance. Their favorite gains two lives, their least favorite loses three lives, their second least favorite loses two lives and their third least favorite loses one. Step 4: If you still have more than 2 characters left, the two characters with most lives left gets to proceed to the finals, everyone else gets eliminated. If you need to tiebreak, the nominees get to fight to the death, any means necessary and allowed. Last one (or two) people standing goes to the finals. Finals: For the finals, the nominees left gets to compete in any way you want. Which essentially means, you get to decide the winner since you get to skew the competition either way. So the winner is the winner of the final match and (probably) your favorite out of the two. Thank you very much for participating in this survey! |

SparkleBunnies said: Do you prefer nekomimi or usagimimi Nekomimi seems cuter imo so i'll go with that. Tarotist said: You're in the grand finals of a competition, and you're final opponent just so happens to be your greatest rival. In terms of skill and knowledge of the competition, you are both equal. However, what separates you from your opponent is a trait that you excel at. If you were to choose between the 3 "S's", which of them would you choose to overcome your opponent? Speed to outrun your opponent? Strength to overpower your opponent? Or Stamina to outlast your opponent? Strength since that alone can make me beat my opponent, though the other traits can use useful in some situations also. Tarotist said: In your opinion, what is the most important element in a mystery anime? Definitely the story. A good mystery anime must have a good story and setting that should include moments that make the viewer pay attention to every detail of the show. Tarotist said: Have you ever tried running while biting on toast? Hehe quite a few times. I sometimes eat while standing for some reason. |

| Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! (We Are Back!!! ^^) Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 43! As always, if you feel like participating please answer this question game until Sunday, 7pm CET. You can do the Full Version, the Quick Version or both if you feel like it! :-) Please check for your local time zone if you can´t do this survey before Sunday! If you aren´t familiar with surveying yet, here are the Overview for Newcomers: HST Surveys (named after the Monia Cafe Hot Seat Threads since this is where it all started) are fun surveys held once a week. There will be a new topic for each survey each week and we will crown a winner for each survey every Sunday. However, these surveys are not just asking for your opinions, but rather consist of a "question game" with sometimes very random questions, so you might end up with a result that will surprise you ;) Our first season which ran for 42 weeks (= 42 surveys) is over, and what you will be reading here are the rules for our 2nd season which will start on July 25th :) Participating: There are two ways to take part in the Surveys here in Monia Café! 1. If you have a Hot Seat Thread, i will be posting the new survey there every week and you can answer it there too of course. 2. If you do not have an active HST, you can take part by posting your answer right here in this thread as i will be posting the surveys here as well and change the title of the thread each week so that it fits ^^ You do not have to participate in every single survey! You can do as many or as few as you like ^^ Procedure: I will be posting a new survey each Monday. If you want to participate, please answer the survey until Sunday, 7pm CET. I will collect all results and then present the final standings on Sunday. Each Survey will consist of a "Full Version" and a Short Version. You can do only one of those two or both if you feel like it. The Full Version will always consist of 4 Steps, with Step 1 making you nominate your Anime Characters or Anime and Steps 2-4 making you eliminate them from the survey until only one nominee is left. The one left standing is your winner of course! Full Versions are designed to take you between 10-20 minutes on average, though how long you take depends on how detailed you feel like answering. Short Versions consist of 2 Steps. Step 1 is a nomination step and Step 2, called "Eliminator", will quickly bring you down to your winner by answering a few short questions. Short Versions take less than 5 minutes to complete. Each survey will be ranked like this: 1. Most Total Wins 2. More Wins from different Participants 3. More Full Version Wins 4. More Finals 5. More Total Nominations 6. If still tied, Voting Poll KEEP IN MIND THAT HST SURVEYS WILL ALWAYS HAVE ANIME CHARACTERS OR ANIME AS WINNERS! THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION BETWEEN THE PARTICIPANTS!!! How the Season works: The Season will run until the end of May 2017. Everybody who has won a Survey until then will qualify for the Finals where we will crown the Overall Champions of the Season! I archive all results! If you want to look at the 1st season, you can look up the victory presentations of all surveys in my blog section here:http://myanimelist.net/blog/PhKay Don´t spoil yourself! Don´t click the next spoiler button until you have answered the question/step you are currently at. Also don´t take this survey too seriously and have fun! ^^ BEST COMEDY! Step 1: Since the comeback of the surveys is a happy moment, we will start with something light this season ^^ Nominate between 4-6 anime you thought were really funny or that made you laugh! Step 2: Competition time! For each competition, give 3 points to the winner and -1 point to the loser! After all competitons are done, send the three Anime with the most points to Step 3! Eliminate the rest! TIEBREAKER: If 2 or more shows are tied for 3rd at the end, redo C2 with the tied anime only! C1: Which Anime has the funniest/most boring jokes? C2: Which Anime has the best/worst situational comedy (slapstick)? C3: Which Anime has the single funniest character? (no -1 here) C4: Nominate your favorite character from each show! They compete in a standup comedy talent show and have to improvise on stage! Who entertains the crowd the best/worst? C5: BONUS POINTS! Give +1 to each anime you have rewatched! Give -2 to each anime with no comedy tag on MAL! Step 3: Three shows are left! First, send the anime with the lighter/”happier” opening song to the final! Now, send the anime that takes itself less serious to the final! Flip a coin if you can´t decide ;) Step 4: Welcome to the unrestricted final! Which Finalist did you enjoy more overall? Crown it the “Best Comedy Anime!” Step 1: Nominate 5 Anime you thought were funny/that made you laugh! The Eliminator! Eliminate one show per competition until only one Anime is left! The Anime left standing has won this survey! C1: Eliminate the Anime with the worst characters! C2: Eliminate the Anime with the least light atmosphere! C3: Eliminate the Anime with the lowest MAL rank! C4: Crown the Anime the Winner which made you laugh more! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

Stand_Alone_Void said: You are forced to live on an island for a few years but before you go you need to pick what food you will live on. There is one problem though and it's that all the food in front of you, you dislike. What do you pick to live on? Probably some fruits like bananas and coconuts since they'll keep me alive during that time and hopefully until I can find my way out of the island. Tarotist said: In an anime/manga that you have seen or read, what is one of the most ridiculous/weirdest/strangest names that a person/place/thing possesses? Hard to say but probably Kiss-Shot Acerola Orion Heart Under Blade. Its a pretty strange name but I can see why it fits. |

| Let us assume that in the future, it will be mandatory for a human to transfer their minds into machines. In other words, we would become androids or robots. The advantage of this is that because we are machines, we are technically immortal and that we would not suffer the burdens that a human has to endure like hunger, disease, and exhaustion. The downside is that the human lifestyle would become extinct. No need for hospitals or schools because our thoughts are data, and sexual reproduction would no longer be necessary because our "minds" can be easily replicated and transferable from machine to machine. Would you accept this mandatory law of transitioning from human to machine, or will you rebel against that law and retain your humanity? |

Step 1: This week, the Olympic Games will start! It´s time for us to decide who we want to send there to represent the Anime Nation! Nominate as many anime characters (minimum 4) who can be seen doing an Olympic sport in their anime as you want! They don´t have to be from a sports anime and they don´t have to be athletes. Everyone who has a scene doing sports is valid as long as the sport is represented at the Olympics! Step 2: Oh no! The Anime Nations´ National Olympic Committee made a massive mistake and signed one character too little up for the Games! As a result, the characters have to hurry to Rio de Janeiro as quickly as they can, with the last one to arrive not being able to participate! Who arrives at the venue last? Eliminate him/her! Step 3: Competition time! For each competition, give 3 points to the winner and -1 point to the worst character! After all competitions are done, send the two characters with the most points to the final! Eliminate the rest! TIEBREAKER: If 2 or more characters are tied for 2nd place at the end, redo C1 with the tied anime only! C1: The Olympics start with the Opening Ceremony and carrying your national flag there is a huge honor! Which character would you choose to carry the Anime Nations´ flag? Who would be your last choice? C2: Rio offers a pretty spectacular nightlife and your Olympians feel tempted to explore it! Who has the best/worst discipline in order to be ready for the next morning´s events? C3: Which character is most likely to win a medal? (no -1 here! also: skip this if nobody stands the slightest chance) C4: Thousands of people are in the crowd and millions are watching all over the world so being able to handle pressure and nervousness is essential! Which character can handle it the best/the worst? Step 4: Welcome to the Final! What are your Top 3 Olympic Events you look most forward to? Let the finalists compete against each other 1 on 1 in each event you chose! If you picked team sports, pretend that the characters´ teammates all play at the same level as the character. Who wins at least 2 out of the 3? Crown him “Anime´s Olympic Champion!” In this case, crown the character you enjoyed watching more in his anime the Winner! Step 1: This week, the Olympic Games will start! It´s time for us to decide who we want to send there to represent the Anime Nation! Nominate 5 characters who can be seen doing an Olympic sport in their anime! They don´t have to be from a sports anime and they don´t have to be athletes.

Would you accept this mandatory law of transitioning from human to machine, or will you rebel against that law and retain your humanity? If it allows more freedom than what you described I would accept it. Living a longer life has always been a dream of mine and I believe it can be achieved through many different means. I'm not against transhumanism, but there's also the dangers that it could pose to society so we always have to be cautious of that. |

In your opinion which Anime deserves to be considered the very best the Mecha genre has to offer, that Anime that is a must watch and a timeliness masterpiece. Crown that title as Best Mecha Anime! Step 1: Nominate at least 3 (max. 6) Anime that have a valid Mecha tag on MAL. The Eliminator! E1: Eliminate the Anime with the worst story. E2: Eliminate the Anime with the worst main characters.

KEEP IN MIND THAT HST SURVEYS WILL ALWAYS HAVE ANIME CHARACTERS OR ANIME AS WINNERS! THIS IS NOT A COMPETITION BETWEEN THE PARTICIPANTS!!! How the Season works: The Season will run until the end of May 2017. Everybody who has won a Survey until then will qualify for the Finals where we will crown the Overall Champions of the Season! I archive all results! If you want to look at the 1st season, you can look up the victory presentations of all surveys in my blog section here. Don't spoil yourself! Don't click the next spoiler button until you have answered the question/step you are currently at. Also don't take this survey too seriously and have fun! ^^ You can do the Full Version, the Quick Version, or both if you feel like it! THE LGBT SURVEY! (created by Conde Möhr) Since surveys were on a hiatus on the LGBT day, the corresponding survey had to be done in a different week. The time is now. Step 1: Nominate at least 5 characters that are LGBT. For those who don't know what LGBT is, it means "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender". Anything that is known to fall into that group (including intersex, asexual, and any queer character in general) can be nominated. Don't worry if you nominate too many, the survey is prepared for that. If you're short of ideas, read the "nomination helper" at the end of this post. Step 2: Every character starts with 10 points. Give or subtract points to every character according to the reasons below. The 4 characters with more points at the end of this step will advance to Step 3. In case there's a tie, you can either handpick the tiebreaker or let every tied character enter Step 3. C1: Subtract 2 points if the only appeal to the character is being LGBT ("a beautiful woman, but she has a penis", most characters in hentai...). Subtract them too if they are LGBT for comic relief (i.e. random supporting character who throws kisses to the MC). C2: Subtract 1 point if the character is ashamed of being LGBT. Add 1 point if they're proud of it. C3: Subtract 3 points if the character became LGBT involuntarily (as a side effect to something, battle only power-up, was forced to take a futanari injection...). Only counts if they weren't initially LGBT, but were forced by an external factor. C4: Subtract 1 point if the character only appears in sources with one or more of the following tags: yaoi, yuri, shonen ai, shoujo ai. C5: Subtract 3 points if the character is not an animal (a robot, a virus, a god...) or if they're considered a monster (a tentacle monster, Mewtwo...). Step 3: What's most important in life?: love, family, knowledge, sex, health, wealth. Mark every character who doesn't find love by the end of their anime or manga. Also, mark the characters who got heartbroken after finding it. Mark every character whose family doesn't accept his LGBT condition. If the character has no known family at all, mark them too. It doesn't count if the family hates the character regardless of them being LGBT. Mark every character who got bullied at school for whatever reason. If the character is known not to have gone to school (or a similar place), mark them too. If the school life of the character is unknown, don't mark them. Mark every character who is asexual. Also, mark every character who is dumped after having sex if that happens during the anime/manga. If the character visits an hospital during the anime/manga, mark them. If they fall sick, ill, or otherwise get hurt during the anime/manga; or if they have a known disability that isn't healed when the story begins (i.e. lost an eye at some point), mark them too. Mark every character who struggles with money. Being rich but struggling with debts counts. If you can see they're poor but they're not stated to struggle with money, mark them. Add the marked characters and the ones in the final. Only if you already did the 6 options in this step and you're told to redo it, open the next spoiler.
ONLY IF YOU ALREADY DID THE 6 OPTIONS AND THE RESULT ABOVE WASN'T 2 Add the marked characters and the ones in the final.
Step 4: Welcome to the Final! After the roulette of misfortune, there have 2 brave heroes fighting for the title. If they are not exactly 2, read Step 3 again to see if you missed something. At this point, you need to put your anime knowledge into play and decide if you think that an anime makes its characters, or it's the characters that make the anime. Compare your scores of the source of both characters (if there's more than one source, you can choose your favorite). If they have both the same score, compare the global score of both anime. The character whose anime has a highest score wins. If the characters have both the same score, or they are both from the same anime (you little...), refer to the other option. In this case, you can choose who you want to be the winner (and say why). If you don't want to decide that way, you're free to compare the number of MAL favorites of both characters. Crown the winner as the proud "Best Queer Character". Step 1: Nominate 4 characters that are LGBT. For those who don't know what LGBT is, it means "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender". Anything that is known to fall into that group (including intersex, asexual, and any queer character in general) can be nominated. If you're short of ideas, read the "nomination helper" at the end of this post. If you did the long survey, you can't nominate your winner of that one. The Eliminator! Eliminate a character for every competition until there's only one left. C1: The four characters fight to death (or knockout) in a Battle Royale, no rules. Who is the first one to go down? C2: The three remaining characters have a surprise test! It includes questions about basic maths, comprehensive reading, logic and world knowledge. Which character has the lowest score? If there's no clear loser eliminate the one who would do/does worse at school. C3: After being worn down both physically and mentally, the remaining competitors have to endure a marathon of the worst anime imaginable, without pausing for anything until one of them forfeits. Crown the remaining character the "Toughest Queer Character" Nominating queer characters may seem difficult at first, but if you think about it, they're not uncommon.
Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

Step 1: Nominate at least 4 episodic anime you enjoyed! An anime that is mostly made up of episodes that aren't part of a larger plot; almost all episodes have a story that is told from beginning to end within that same episode. I'll use some non-anime examples, because I don't know which anime you're familiar with; think of shows like The Simpsons and The Flintstones. Those are episodic shows. A whole mini-story is told in each episode. Step 2: Competition time! For each competition, give 3 points to the winner and 1 point to the anime doing the second best job! Also, name the anime that´s worst in each competition! ( WITHOUT subtracting points!) C1: Which anime has the highest percentage of amazing episodes? C2: Which anime has the most interesting characters? C3: Which anime introduces its characters/setting/stories the best? BONUS: If you prefer episodic shows to have no overarching story at all, give 2 points to each anime with no larger plot. If you prefer episodic shows to tell an overarching story as well, give 2 points to each anime with such a plot if it was good! If an anime has finished worst in at least 2 of the 3 competitions (C1-C3), disqualify it from the survey! Send the anime in 1st place straight to the final (Step 4), 2nd and 3rd place move on to Step 3! Eliminate the rest! TIEBREAKER: Break all ties by redoing C1 with the tied anime only! Step 3: Which anime is ranked higher on MAL? Send it to the final and eliminate the other! Step 4: Welcome to the final, this time in unhidden competition format! ^^ The first anime to reach 4 points wins! Crown it “Best Episodic Anime!” Give 2 points to the anime with the single best episode! Give 2 points to the anime with the single best main character! Give 1 point to the anime with the best supporting character! Give 1 point to the anime with the best artstyle/animation! Give 1 point to the anime with the best music! (OP, ED, OST)! Step 1: Nominate 4 episodic anime you enjoyed! If you did the full version too, don´t nominate the winner of it!! An anime that is mostly made up of episodes that aren't part of a larger plot; almost all episodes have a story that is told from beginning to end within that same episode. I'll use some non-anime examples, because I don't know which anime you're familiar with; think of shows like The Simpsons and The Flintstones. Those are episodic shows.
