Tentative/Unconfirmed
➤Pair up with someone (overlap is fine) and exchange new anime recommendations. HOWEVER, each recommendation MUST:

1. Be based on a genre that is featured in that person's favorite anime
2. Feature a voice actor that is on that person's favorites
3. Made by one of that person's favorite studios (based on their Malgraph. Anywhere in their top 15 is fine)



Anyone want to pair up?
Also, I wanna be sure I get it right,
Does the recommendation have to have all of these three?

That's a good idea too. It's still tentative so I'll finalize it tomorrow probably when I have the time and post it up.

Noted. Will make a note of that when I make the challenge official.

not to mention there's a good amount of people who don't even have favorite people on their profile

I can definitely recommend this: http://myanimelist.net/anime/1520/Black_Jack
Tezuka + Dezaki = win

Zerg needs to say whether it counts or whether Tezuka needs to direct it though.

Japan won silver and bronze at the 2012 Olympics for swimming events both team and individual events.

I rarely watch anything in cyberpunk and space opera genre.
will follow the majority then, Ghost in the Shell for cyberpunk and Uchuu Senkan Yamato (Movie) for space opera

It's been ages since I saw the film, but it has a different plot and everything. The movie was at least visually nice, but I liked the enjoyable middle part of the series more than the movie. The rest was worse though. Overall they're both 5-6, but the movie is shorter and visually fun so I'd probably recommend it over the series.
