Thank you for your interesting answer. You talked about how anime positively influences you. How about negative influence? Have you ever watched an anime and thought that it did or does or will influence you in a bad way? What are anime's (as a whole) bad points in your opinion? |

I started it because I was feeling sad and somebody recommended it to me as a good pick-me-up and it really was. It was very sweet and chill. ;v; Natsumi was my favorite, then maybe Hotaru. I liked them all though! I especially liked Renge and Candy Lady. Those scenes with them napping together healed my heart. I liked the scenes with the sisters picking on each other too, it definitely reminded me of my own sister lol. It's definitely in my top 5!! I will eventually, I'm kind of bad about watching sequels of even things I like. >v>' I still haven't watched Natume's Book of Friends season 4 or the 3rd season of Kyou Kara Maou and that's got one of my favorite characters ever in it. So yeah I'll watch it for sure but it might take a while. (´・ω・`) Domenca said: Thank you for your interesting answer. You talked about how anime positively influences you. How about negative influence? Have you ever watched an anime and thought that it did or does or will influence you in a bad way? What are anime's (as a whole) bad points in your opinion? Thank you for your interesting questions! Honestly the only way I think anime has influenced me is that I'm kind of desensitized now. Not in the way middle aged people think video games desensitize kids to violence but like, to weirdness. For example, my best friend and I were watching Mob Psycho 100 and we texted each other after we finished the fist episode. She brought up the vegetable heads and the broccoli and tomatoes in the op and was very confused about it. But I just kind of went "yeah okay that's normal" and moved on. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ Similarly, we were watching Jojo together because a new episode aired but we were hanging out and she really wanted to watch it so we did. She was pausing every once in a while to explain things but I kept saying "no it's alright you really don't need to" because every time something happened I was just ready to roll with it, no questions asked. Basically normal weird things aren't weird to me anymore because I've seen weirder. I love that though, so I guess that's not really negative? Besides that, I really don't think anime influences me in any way that I didn't already agree with as I'm a person who needs real convincing and good arguments to change my opinions rather than subliminal messaging or things like that. So if an anime has something big in it that I hate or heavily disagree with then I'll drop it and it doesn't really get a chance to influence me anyways. One reason I'll drop an anime is if I don't like how they treat the woman characters. If it's too fetishy or degrading then I won't put up with it. That's why I dropped Welcome to the NHK. The main character was a creep, but he was clearly meant to be relatable. Like, There's this one scene where he's got a camera and he's creeping around a middle school to try to gross himself out so he forces himself to change.. by taking pictures of middle school girls' underwear. He gets caught and apologies. Then the wind blows and skirts fly and he's taking panty shots of 13-15 year old girls. And it's played off as a joke? That's not funny, that's nasty. But like, no matter how many people tell me to get over it or it's not that big of a deal because "it's just a joke", I'm still not gonna be okay with it. Most of the things I've dropped after the first or second episode is because they were too gross. That's definitely anime's biggest bad point for me. But still, it's not like it's in everything so it's not overwhelming. That and it's also not like the rest of the world doesn't also have this problem. The fetishization of women is definitely something I'd change if I could though. |

It was very interesting, well written and you made many good points (which I agree with!) Like how anime has diversity and eccentricity (in some ways, at least) that western media just doesn't have. Thanks for sharing!

Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 70! 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! 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! ^^ You can do the Full Version, the Quick Version or both if you feel like it! You can also do these surveys for 2016, 2011 or both! MONIA AWARDS WEEK 1: Male Character of the Year 2016! Step 1: (for the 2011 version, just replace all instances of 2016 with 2011) Nominate 4 great male characters that stood out to you from anime that started airing in 2016! Step 2: Competition time! For each competition, give 2pts to the winner and 1pt to the runner-up. Once a character reaches 3pts, he does not compete in the remaining competitions and moves on to Step 3! The first three characters to reach 3pts move on. The character failing to reach three points is eliminated! Tiebreaker: In theory, two characters could end up with 2pts after the four competitions. In this case, give 1pt to the character with more member favorites on MAL. C1: Which character handles the problems he´s facing in his anime the best? C2: The characters compete in a “triathlon” consisting of a weightlifting competition, a one mile swimming race in open water and a stand-up comedy performance! Who will finish 1st and 2nd overall? C3: Which character is most popular with the girls/women in his anime? C4: Which character has the best character development? Step 3: Semifinal 1: Send the character with the single best scene that stuck in your mind to the final! Semifinal 2: Now, send the character (that isn´t already there) with the better character design to the final! Step 4: Welcome to the unrestricted Final! In surveying, the jury is YOU alone. Who deserves it more? Crown him “Best Male Character of 2016! [spoiler=QuickVersion] Step 1: (for the 2011 version, just replace all instances of 2016 with 2011) Nominate 4 great male characters that stood out to you from anime that started airing in 2016! If you also did the Full Version, you can´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! E1: Eliminate the character from the anime you enjoyed the least! E2: Eliminate the character with the least interesting personality! [/ spoiler] Final: The character you enjoyed watching more wins! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

Anyways, on to my question: You write on your profile page that one of the things you like is feminine boys/masculine girls (and even elaborate a bit it in the aforementioned post!), so I was wondering who your favorite feminine male and/or masculine female character is? :) Pffft I wish, no I meant aesthetic as in I find him visually appealing. He reminds me of the stars and I love that. ;x; I have an aesthetic blog on tumblr (that's not very strict because it's really just stuff I find visually appealing and that varies) but a lot of it can be summed up as Nova in terms of colors and.. I don't know, aura, I guess? >>' Thank you!! (T ^ T) I honestly tried pretty hard because sometimes when I write long things like that my thoughts get jumbled and the product isn't very.. readable. I'd like to hear your thoughts on that as well actually!! I'm not entirely positive how to answer that honestly? I just like it when gender roles are broken/ignored. I'm not sure which characters I could pick that break the most gender roles? The first characters that come to mind I guess are Ryouta Kawara from Hatoful Boyfriend and Haruhi Fujioka from Ouran though. Ryouta just likes wearing dresses. Which is cool because the game doesn't treat it as a big deal, which is cool because it shouldn't be a big deal. It's just clothing. And, as a dating sim, Ryouta is the Childhood Best Friend™ character you, the girl protagonist, can date. Which is another thing I think is cool because wearing dresses and skirts, or being feminine in general, doesn't inherently make a guy gay. He's just a dude that likes to wear dresses and it's not a big deal and I like that. Also he's a fun and interesting character which is a big plus. (❁´▽`❁) Haruhi is definitely one of my favorite female protagonists!! She has a lot of quotes that I really appreciate and here's my favorite: “Listen, Senpai, I don’t really care whether you guys recognize me as a boy or a girl. In my opinion it’s more important for a person to be recognized for who they are rather than for what sex they are.” That means a lot to me because that's something I agree with. I appreciate that she's never put on an unrealistic pedestal too. Or, she's always felt real, if that makes sense. PhKay said: Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 70! No thank you lol. Hi!! Oh definitely, I was horrified and confused the entire time and I loved it. Rena!!! I love her cleaver lol. I also love that scene where she was trying to get into Keiichi's house in the first few episodes and as soon as he unlocked the door she like, ripped the door open until it yanked against the chain and I nearly died . The last episode was surprisingly sweet too. Her asking Keiichi to always be with her was really cute. |

It’s not nearly as horrifying or confusing, which is a bit of a shame, but the (non-filler) arcs of it are really, really, good imo and it answers the myseries, or by the least gives you keys to dig the answer for some of them yourself ;) Oh, also Happy Birthday! |

Thank you!! I'm 18 now and horrified. 83c Can't wait to pay bills and taxes!!! Not yet lol, we're kind of a lower-middle class family and mom didn't have the money to buy presents until yesterday, which was cutting it a little close. So we went out to eat tonight and she said she was gonna take me to gamestop tomorrow to pick out a game. ovob I might also get some manga which is always cool. sytemet said: Rena is indeed great!

I totally agree that's she's great but Shion definitely scared me the most lol. Me and my best friend were watching it together and after that one arc her introduction's pov was changed from Keiichi to Shion herself we had to make sure the closet was closed before going to bed because no. :) I think we had a miscommunication somewhere lol, the scene I described in the beginning of the series gave me a heart attack. It was the last episode that I thought was really cute. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ You know in those last few moments they're on the roof and Keiichi and Rena are deciding on what'll happen depending on which one won?? I thought it was sweet when Rena asked Keiichi to be by her side. ;v; Definitely!! I think I'll actually rewatch the first season beforehand, both because I enjoyed it and might make my mom watch it and because I want to make sure I have a solid understanding of what actually happened lol. ...But it might not be for a while, watching Higurashi shaves years off my lifespan. It's so stressful. 8) Sounds fun to me!! Honestly I don't think I'd mind fillers. I'd appreciate these poor kids having a break. I'd like to understand more too lol. Thank you!! (❁´▽`❁) |

Morferz said: No game no life on your Drop list . Why ?? Because I felt like I could have been watching literally anything else. Also, it's way too creepy for me. And, y'know, I've thought about trying to overlook the fanservice for the story before, but a while ago I went to Books-A-Million and picked up one of the novels and immediately put it back down because the very first page was an illustration of the brother filming his naked little sister and another naked girl in a pretty obviously sexual manner. That ruined it entirely for me and I'm never ever giving it another chance. 83 |

After all, the last arc revealed that Rena was just trying to help Keiichi the whole time, but the poor paranoid guy totally misjudged all her actions and things ended in a tragedy. The reason why I found Rena scarier than Shion was that she managed to instill a slow burning paranoia while Shion was more about shock factor and being totally insane and sadistic. Shion had pretty much all the gore scenes, but that was nothing compared to the paranoidic feeling of Rena listening to your phone calls behind your back, standing outside of your house in rain apologizing over and over again and occasionally talking about weird things in an unhinged manner or snapping totally for a short while before returning to her ‘normal mode’ as if nothing had happened at all. The worst (or best) part was that the clutch of the paranoia never eased, instead very slowly getting tighter and tighter. Or something like that… Moving into other questions then.. What is so great in No.6 that it’s in top of your favourites list? I’m kind of planning to watch it somewhere in the near-future, but I can’t really get much out of the synopsis. |

Not sure how to rank them but I'll try (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ (note: all of these are gonna be taken randomly off google images) Aoharu x Kikanjuu isn't high quality but I do really like Hotaru. A lot actually. I kind forgot how cute she was before I went searching for the right scene of her. I had a hard time picking just one screenshot though because she makes these disturbing faces all the time lol. So here's a few I guess: What a sweet girl (❁´▽`❁)<3 Killua also has a bunch of crazy faces but picking just one was easier because I knew which one was my fav and I really love how nonchalant Nagisa is about murder and death. May or may not qualify as a crazy face but I love his face so here it is regardless. This one is cool too Recommend me anime with characters that make faces like these lol Morferz said: Favorite anime in this season so far Honestly I have been waiting for this question.

What is so great in No.6 that it’s in top of your favourites list? I’m kind of planning to watch it somewhere in the near-future, but I can’t really get much out of the synopsis. It's okay lol, no harm done. Yeah actually I was messing around on youtube a while ago and ended up watching that clip again and I can really see how it was just Keiichi seeing things that weren't there because the girls really simply are just playing the club's game. I'd say it was more sad than sweet though. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ Ooooooh yeah okay I agree. Yeah no, you described that very well lol. Rena is terrifying. My favorites list is really out of order actually. My #1 favorite is probably Natsume's Book of Friends or Haikyuu. I'm not even sure if it's all added in the order of when I add it either, since I'm pretty sure the most recent one I added was Mushish and that's like, 3rd to last on the list? I do love No.6 though. I love the novels even more so but I'm fine with recommending the anime too, since I watched the anime first and that's what made me want to read the novels in the first place. No.6 is set in a post-apocalyptic world and it's basically about this kid, Shion, who is handed everything on a silver platter. He's very intelligent and therefore an important member of society so him and his mother live in a high class area and are very pampered. But one day a criminal who escaped the facilities of No.6, Nezumi, breaks into Shion's house. Shion impulsively let's him stay and takes care of him for the night. He's gone the next morning but No.6 officials find out and Shion's and his mother's elite status is stripped away and now they live in the trashiest area inside the walls of No.6. 4 years later, Shion gets into terribly big trouble and he's being taken in by the police to a place nobody ever comes back from. So Nezumi returns to return Shion's favor to him by saving his life like Shion had saved his. This all takes place within the first 1 or 2 episodes and the rest is mostly based on Nezumi's and Shion's life outside the city walls. Which is dangerous and hectic and pretty fun to watch. I've mentioned this before but the characters are definitely my favorite part about No.6, as I'm a very character oriented person and I actually don't care much for dystopian revolution plots. There's just so many unique details that set them apart from other characters and they're very well written and I love them. ;-; Now, personally, I don't think the anime suffers much in the difference in the adaptation. Not plot wise anyways. The biggest (and only?) problem I have with it is that the characters are so much more deep in the novels. The part I'm most sad about though is that Shion is so much more snarky. My favorite part is when him and Nezumi are running away from the police, like I mentioned earlier, and while they're running Nez makes some comment like "What, you're not tired already are you?" and Shion just deadpans and responds "Oh, on the contrary, I could do with more exercise. Care for a piggy back ride while we're at it?" and I DIED. ....But he just. Doesn't have any of that in the anime. :') There are so many lines they removed. Nezumi is less of the typical stoic jerk in the novel too. He laughs more, Shion threatens to bite his nose off one time and he actually seems kind of scared, shows more emotion in general, ect. By the way, if you're wanting to watch this I hope you know that it is gay, because it is very gay, and I don't mean fanservice gay. It's actually gay. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ It's like Yuri on Ice in terms of "Yeah they're clearly gay." but doesn't have a shounen ai tag. I'm assuming this is because it's not the main plot point and more of a sub plot. All in all though I would recommend the anime (the ending made me cry), especially if all of this sounds interesting. Also please don't hesitate to ask any more No.6 questions if you have any because I love talking about No.6 but I felt like this was getting a bit too long already. 8') I hope that cleared some things up!! |

Not plot wise anyways. The biggest (and only?) problem I have with it is that the characters are so much more deep in the novels. The part I'm most sad about though is that Shion is so much more snarky. My favorite part is when him and Nezumi are running away from the police, like I mentioned earlier, and while they're running Nez makes some comment like "What, you're not tired already are you?" and Shion just deadpans and responds "Oh, on the contrary, I could do with more exercise. Care for a piggy back ride while we're at it?" and I DIED. ....But he just. Doesn't have any of that in the anime. :') There are so many lines they removed. Nezumi is less of the typical stoic jerk in the novel too. He laughs more, Shion threatens to bite his nose off one time and he actually seems kind of scared, shows more emotion in general, ect. By the way, if you're wanting to watch this I hope you know that it is gay, because it is very gay, and I don't mean fanservice gay. It's actually gay. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ It's like Yuri on Ice in terms of "Yeah they're clearly gay." but doesn't have a shounen ai tag. I'm assuming this is because it's not the main plot point and more of a sub plot. All in all though I would recommend the anime (the ending made me cry), especially if all of this sounds interesting. Also please don't hesitate to ask any more No.6 questions if you have any because I love talking about No.6 but I felt like this was getting a bit too long already. 8') I hope that cleared some things up!! It does sound pretty interesting. I don’t think I’m bothered by shounen ai and am actually very interested to confirm how I feel about watching gay romances. I’m not huge into romance as the main focus in general, but it does spice things up a bit in the subplot. You managed to give me the essentials and stir up some curiosity, I don’t really have more questions for now, but we can talk about it more when I get to watching it (don’t know when that will be yet). Incidentally, the reason I wanted to watch No.6 was that in this year’s anime watching challenge there is a part where I need to watch an anime with a number in its name. Do you usually prefer to binge-watch anime or watch it little by little? Also do you have some kind of a “schedule” for watching? |

Domenca said: What anime would you recommend a female friend who hasn't watched any to watch as their first one? You can name more than one. Well I made my sister watch Angel Beats, which was technically her first. She watched some of Death Note with me but the episodes she did watch were pretty sporadic. Kind of depends on their tastes though, because I also recommended Ghost Stories to a female friend of mine. As a default though, I'd go with Natsume's Book of Friends, both because it's a shoujo and a personal favorite of mine (I recommended it to a store clerk once actually.) sytemet said: It does sound pretty interesting.

Do you usually prefer to binge-watch anime or watch it little by little? Also do you have some kind of a “schedule” for watching? I'm glad!! I hope you like it when you get around to it, it's very dear to me. Yeah I agree actually, most of my favorite romances aren't actually romance centered. That's a relief lol, I tried pretty hard to give as many non-spoilery details as possible. That's kind of odd actually, how many anime are there with numbers in their name?? How do you search for those? I binge. I definitely binge. I watched all of Nabari no Ou in two days in a short period of time, like, I started it at like 5 PM one day and watched 15 episodes all at once and then I finished it the next day (although more intermittently since I had chores that day). The only reasons I watch anime a little bit at a time are: 1) the anime is airing and I don't have any more episodes to watch. 2) It's boring me and I can only force myself to watch one or two episodes. Or, least likely, 3) I'm busy and have to stop myself from binging. I definitely don't have any kind of schedule, it'd stress me out if I did. Then I'd procrastinate watching it and fall behind the deadline or whatever goal I'm trying to reach (which is also why I don't participate in challenges.) |

I do the challenge stuff to force myself to watch anime outside of my comfort-zone, but I don’t really stress about whether I actually finish it. You seem to be liking Kobayashi-san chi no Maid Dragon quite a lot given it’s already a 10/10. What makes it such a big success? It looks like a relaxing, cute fun time. This gif alone has convinced me to watch it once it’s finished airing. |

Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 75! 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! 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: Full Version win: 100pts Short Version win: 70pts Full Version lost final: 20pts Full Version Step 3 elimination: 3pts Full Version Step 2 elimination: 2pts Short Version nomination: 1pt KEEP IN MIND THAT HST SURVEYS WILL ALWAYS HAVE ANIME/MANGA 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! ^^ You can do the Full Version, the Quick Version or both if you feel like it! You can also do these surveys for 2016, 2011 or both! BEST SHORT SERIES! Step 1: Nominate 4-6 anime you liked with episode lengths of under 15 minutes! Step 2: Competition time! This competition will consist of serious questions and random competitions. Do all of them! For each serious question, give 3 pts to the winner and 2pts to the runner-up. For each random competition, give the winner 1pt and the anime in last place -1pt. After all competitions, the Top 3 move on to Step 3! The rest is eliminated! Tiebreaker: break all ties for 1st or 3rd place by favoring the anime with the shorter total screentime! Serious1: Which series looks most awesome? (Artstyle, Animation, Sceneries…) Random1: Nominate two characters per show to represent their anime who you think have the best chance to win. One has to carry the other the other on his back in a 400m dash! Who wins? Who finishes last? Serious2: Which series executes its main genre the best? (funniest for comedy, most dramatic for drama etc) Random2: Nominate your least favorite character of each show to represent its anime. They are given a collection box and have to go around a town full of unfriendly, wary and shy people to collect donations for renovating the local rundown school. Who collects the most/the least money? Serious3: Which animes setting(s) did you like the most? Step 3: First, send the anime with the best Opening to the final! (music+visuals) Then, send the anime to the final that collected more points in the serious questions of Step 2 and isn´t already in the final! Eliminate the loser! If they are tied, flip a coin! Step 4: Welcome to the Final! We are having a unhidden mini competiton, 2 out of 3 pts wins! (each question is worth 1pt). Crown the winner “Best Short Series in Anime!” Which finalist has the better characters? Which finalist uses the time it has more perfectly? Which finalist has the single best episode? Step 1: Nominate three anime you liked with episode lengths of under 15 minutes! If you have also done the full version, you can´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! SF1: Send the craziest, nonsensical anime to the final! (don´t send anyone if you nominated no such show) SF2: Send the anime with the best story (stories if episodical) to the final. Send the Top2 to the final here if nobody was sent in SF1! Final: The anime you liked more wins! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

This gif alone has convinced me to watch it once it’s finished airing. I've always kind of wandered how people who only watch one episode at a time do it?? I have a friend like that, I've never brought it up with her because it's not that big of a deal but it makes me curious. Like what else are you doing?? Is there something more important?? A lot makes it a success but really I just like it because it makes me really happy lol. The jokes are funny and the girls are adorable and they're interesting characters and it's a good time. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ PhKay said: Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 75! Step 1- • Senyuu • Saiki Kusuo no Psi Nan • Space Patrol Luluco • Merman in my Tub Step 2- C1: • Space Patrol Luluco is the prettiest +3 • Senyuu is surprisingly well animated +2 C2: • Saiki and Shun are first (Saiki) +1 • Tatsumi and Wakasa are last (Merman in my Tub) -1 C3: (Well, they're all comedies, so) • Saiki is funniest +3 • Senyuu is second funniest +2 C4: • Rudoplh collects the most (Senyuu) +1 • Toritsuka collects none. At all. (Saiki) -1 C5: • Space Patrol Luluco had the coolest setting, because, y'know, space +3 • Senyuu's setting gets point for being quirky +2 Step 3: • Senyuu has the best opening and is sent to the final • Space Patrol Luluco is sent to the final • The others are disqualified Step 4: • Senyuu had better characters, like as cool as I think Nova is, I like the entire main cast of Senyuu a lot more lol • It's kind of a tie honestly? Both of them were mostly pure humor filled. I'd say I remember Senyuu's jokes more, so that'd win, but I've rewatched Senyuu and I've read the manga so that's not really fair when I've only watched Luluco once. And like, both of them ended on a solid yet ambiguous note so? I'll give this to Luluco since I know Senyuu is winning anyways • The last episode of the second season of Senyuu is my favorite because I was entirely unprepared. Also Ross is terrible and I love him. Unsurprisingly, Senyuu is crowned Best Short Series lol |

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! BEST LATE-ENTRY CHARACTER! Step 1: Nominate three characters you liked who get introduced in their anime or manga around the midway point or later. (doesn´t have to be 100% precise, if the character first shows up f.e. in Ep. 5 of 12 you´ll be fine) Step 2: Semi-Random Elimination Round! If you started your HST between January and April, eliminate the 1st or 2nd character you nominated! If you started your HST between May and August, eliminate the 2nd or 3rd character you nominated! If you started your HST between September and December, eliminate the 1st or 3rd character you nominated! If you don´t have an HST, use your MAL join date instead. Step 3: This survey is about Late-Entries, so the survey itself needs a late-joining competitor as well! Nominate a character as described in Step 1 to enter the survey! You can´t let the character you eliminated in Step 2 re-join! Step 4: Competition time! For each competition, keys to the door to victory are to be won and you are the key keeper! Ten keys are needed to open the door, so once someone receives their 10th+ key from you, ignore the remaining competitions and crown the character who opens the door “Best Late-Entry Character in Anime/Manga!” If two or all three characters win their 10th key in the same competition, the character with more total keys wins. If they are still tied, the character who got FEWER keys in C0 wins! If you have a winner and the other two characters are tied on keys for 2nd, the character who got fewer keys in C0 finishes runner-up! (I need a 2nd place because of the points system. I don´t wanna give two characters 20pts) C0: Give the character who earned his way here by eliminating an opponent in Step 2 three keys. The character nominated in Step 1 who got here by luck gets two keys. The character who late-entered in Step 3 gets 1 key. C1: Which characters´ sudden appearance surprised you the most? If you were positively surprised, give that character three keys! If you reacted negatively, the other two characters get two keys each! C2: Judge the characters´ impact on the show! Split six keys between the finalists depending on their significance. You have to give at least two of the characters keys and a character can win 4 keys at maximum here! C3: Which character has the most interesting back-story? Give him three keys! Give one consolation key to each character whose past never gets revealed. C4: Give three keys to the finalist with the character design you like the most! Give one key to the character design you like 2nd best. C5: Give three keys to each character who you would consider one of your Top 3 characters of the anime/manga! If none of them are among your Top 3 in their show, give one key to each character. C6: Give two keys to the character from the anime/manga you enjoyed the most as a whole. Give 1 key to the character from the 2nd best anime/manga. Step 1: Nominate four characters you liked who get introduced in their anime or manga around the midway point or later. (doesn´t have to be 100% precise, if the character first shows up f.e. in Ep. 5 of 12 you´ll be fine). If you also did the Full Version, don´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! E1: Eliminate the character who entered his show the latest! E2: Eliminate the character who you think is the least valuable asset in the anime/manga! E3: Eliminate character with the least interesting personality! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

C1: Which anime has the least/most unnecessary filler episodes in relation to its total episode count? C2: Which anime has the best/worst characters? C3: Which anime changed for the better over time the most? Which anime became worse the most? C4: Which anime has the highest/lowest number of really amazing episodes that stuck in your mind? 1, if necessary, break all ties for most wins by favoring the anime which aired for longer. (by start and end date, not episodes!) 2, send the anime with the most wins straight to the final! It is unaffected by Nr. 3-5! 3, if necessary, break all ties for most losses by favoring the anime which developed the most in terms of animation quality over the time it aired. 4, Eliminate the anime with the most losses! 5, Send the two remaining anime to Step 3! Step 3: It´s a best of three match for the 2nd birth in the final! Each question is worth a point! Which anime has the more interesting setting(s)? Which anime has the better antagonists? If one of the shows has none, judge the supporting characters instead. Which anime has the better final season? Judge the latest 30 episodes you watched if the anime is still airing or is not separated into seasons. Step 4: Welcome to the unrestricted final! Which anime do you enjoy more as a whole? Crown it the “Best Long Anime Series!” Step 1: Nominate three anime series you like with at least 100 total episodes (all seasons added together)! If you also did the Full Version, don´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! SF1: Send the anime with the best episodes 1-33 to the final!

PhKay said: Final thoughts on Metropolis? ^^ It was good! It's not something I'll think about a lot if I'm being honest, but watching it was quite nice. That's saying a lot though considering I'm not especially fond of dystopian plots or things lacking deep characters. I'm half tempted to say it's a pleasant watch because of the animation and general aesthetic alone (that would be selling it a bit short though because it does have other things going for it). Like, it definitely is better animated than even quite a bit of modern things. For example ya know how in the Ace Attorney anime sometimes when a character turns their head their face just kinda squishes? There are no frames like this ever in Metropolis. One thing I found humorously bad though was the little protagonist boy's voice actor.

The most haunting is probably the bath scene with the guessing game. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ I'd watch a season 2 if/when it comes out though. PhKay said: Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 77! Just gonna do the short version this time. Step 1: • Hunter x Hunter • D. Gray-man • Gintama SF1: • I kind of have to choose DGM and HxH as the best both considering I've only watched 15 episodes of Gintama and while I do genuinely enjoy it, it has bored me to sleep on occasion. SF2: • I have a bad memory I literally do not remember what exactly takes place in these episodes. ;-; Like I remember the stuff that happens usually (likely not small details but the grande scheme of things as a whole) but like, not in order. So I guess I'll go with HxH?? Not a lot of reason behind that other than the fact it's on my favorites list so why not Final: • Hunter x Hunter is best long anime Izanagi777 said: If you can go to the anime world for 1 year, which world will you choose? and what kind of role will you play there?

Usually while thinking about these things I try to avoid worlds I'd almost certainly die in, and Mushishi is potentially risky, but the sound of being a travelling doctor does sound pleasing. |

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ I googled KAFC but like, are you talking about the radio station?? Kentucky Agricultural Finance Corporation??? Kitsap Alliance FC??? I then tried googling KAFC 3 factions and that didn't yield any real result either. Please explain and elaborate lol use context silly |

In retrospect, this makes sense but I was starting to think you misspelled KFC or something. Yes, I'm not in love with the series or anything but I do appreciate Aikawa a lot (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ I'd be in the faction that says he's a boy. Like, I think that him saying himself that he's a boy should be plenty and that's that. No debate needed. |

Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 78! 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! 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: Full Version win: 100pts Short Version win: 70pts Full Version lost final: 20pts Full Version Step 3 elimination: 3pts Full Version Step 2 elimination: 2pts Short Version nomination: 1pt KEEP IN MIND THAT HST SURVEYS WILL ALWAYS HAVE ANIME/MANGA 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! ^^ You can do the Full Version, the Quick Version or both if you feel like it! BEST TEACHER! Step 1: Nominate four teachers from anime/manga you enjoyed! (everyone who is called “Sensei” is eligible haha) Step 2: Competition time! For each competition, distribute three points to your liking. (3 to one character if he´s by far the best, 2pts to one and 1pt to another character or 1-1-1 to three teachers). TIEBREAKER: If there is a tie for 1st or 3rd place, redo C1 with the tied teachers only! (please don´t do 1-1-1 if you have a triple-tie lol) C1: Which teacher is most popular among the students? C2: Which teacher looks most like a cliché teacher? C3: Which teacher has the best out-of-class scenes? C4: Which teacher teaches subjects you enjoy(ed) or were good at yourself in school? Break ties if necessary after this question. Click the next spoiler button if you have your final standings! APRIL FOOLS´ JOKE! If you do this survey in April, eliminate the character in 3rd place! 1st, 2nd and last place move on to Step 3! If you do this while it is still March, you are unaffected and the Top 3 advance, while last place is out. Step 3: Eliminate the teacher from the Anime you enjoyed the least as a whole! Step 4: Welcome to the final! Which Sensei is the best? Don´t decide on personal enjoyment! Try to judge the skills he or she has in his profession! Only if you cannot make a decision this way, personal enjoyment is the tiebreaker. Crown the winner the “Best Teacher in Anime!” Step 1: Nominate three teachers from anime/manga you enjoyed! If you also did the Full Version, don´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! SF1: Send the funniest teacher to the final! SF2: Send the stricter teacher to the final!

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! BEST OVERWEIGHT CHARACTER! Step 1: It appears that Anime is full of perfect bodies 90% of the time. It is time to fight this unrealistic portrayal of reality and it is time for those awesome people who enjoy life and eat what they want to and when they want to just like me! to step up! Nominate at least 4 overweight anime/manga characters! Technically, you can do this survey with as many nominees as you want, but I don´t think more than 6 adds any fun to your personal survey experience… Step 2: Unhidden competition qualifying round! First, send the character from the Anime you liked most to Step 3! After that, send the character (that isn´t already there) who carries around the most extra weight to Step 3! Finally, there´s a 100m sprint with the remaining characters! Send the winner to Step 3! Eliminate the rest! Step 3: Competition time! For each competition, give points as described in the competitions. Once a character reaches 5pts (or more) send him to the final (Step 4)! He does not compete in the remaining competitions! The first two characters reaching 5pts move on, the remaining character is eliminated! C1: Which character can be seen eating the most? Give the “best” eater 2pts and the 2nd-best eater 1pt. C2: Judge each character design! Split 6pts between the competitors however you like, but you have to give at least two characters points and no character can win more than 4pts! (so your options are 4-2-0, 3-3-0, 4-1-1, 3-2-1 and 2-2-2) C3: Give each character who is/was made fun of because of his physique 1pt. Give an extra point to the character who handled/overcame it the best! If no character was a victim of teasing, give a point to the character with the most member favorites on MAL. C4: Which character is most significant/has the biggest influence on his show? Give 3pts to the most important character! Also give 1pt to the runner-up if nobody was sent to the final yet. C5: Give 1pt to the funniest character and 1pt to the most confident character! If a character wins both, he gets 3pts! After C5, break all ties by redoing C1 with the tied characters only if necessary! Step 4: Welcome to the final and we are going to have a little duel for the title, unhidden mode! No points from Step 3 carry over so we start at 0:0! Q0: First, do all competitions from Step 3 you didn´t need to do to find your finalists! (for example, if you had your two finalists after C4, do C5 now). Each of the following questions is worth 2pts for the winner! Q1: Which finalist is more popular with the opposite sex? Q2: Which finalist would win a sumo wrestling match against the other? Q3: Which finalist has more impressive skills? (nothing supernatural please!) Crown the character winning more points in the final “Best Overweight Character in Anime!”.If the score is tied, the finalist winning more points in the Step 4 questions (Q1-Q3) wins! Step 1: Nominate three overweight anime/manga characters you like! If you also did the Full Version, don´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! SF1: Send the character who is the fittest despite his extra weight to the final! SF2: Send the character (that isn´t already there) who is most lazy to the final! Final: The character who can be seen eating the single highest-in-calories food during the show wins! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

PhKay said: so what is your first impression on the shows you are watching airing this season? Good question!! ( • ̀ω•́ )✧ Boku no Hero Academia 2nd Season: The one I'm most hyped for!!! I'm really proud of Deku and I want to learn more about Todoroki and idk what's happening with dear, sweet Kacchan but I hope he undergoes some good character development from this lol. I think I like it more than first season? Maybe? At least from the beginning of first season probably. As much as I care for Deku, I do not care for shy, anxious, cry baby characters, and the cry baby-ness was a lot more concentrated in the first season. But I really like the intelligent, bold, go-getters which is also who Deku is so he's a a really well written multi-faceted character and he's good!! I really wish every episode was out already so I could binge it. (ᗒᗜᗕ)՛̵̖ Oushitsu Kyoushi Haine: Not sure what I was expecting with this but this wasn't it. It's reeaaally melodramatic and cheesy, but it gives me like one solid laugh like once per episode (mostly because of the teacher) so I plan on keeping up with it. Seikaisuru Kado: Not sure how I feel about it but better than I was expecting?? Kind of hamfisted and repetitive with it's theme and messages, but pretty entertaining so far. I'm mostly hopping it goes for deep characters than anything else, I like the white haired boy's character design a whole lot and I want more info on him. Also for like, how he found earth and his reasoning for wanting to advance earth's technologies and stuff, because surely he's not exerting this much effort just out of kindness? Shingeki no Kyojin Season 2: Also better than I was expecting?? I kind of forgot that I liked snk lol. After so long of hearing everybody saying it was way overrated and edgey shounen trash and also after that recent thing with Armin and spoilers and other unnecessary things, I really grew distant from it. So new season is a good reminder of why I liked it in the first place! Tsuki ga Kirei: Kind of boring but I am holding out on the hope that it gets tragic since it's being worked on by a person who worked on Angel Beats and a person who worked on Orange, and if you know the ending of the one and just the plot of the other I think you'll get where I'm coming from here. |

How do you decide what question(s) you ask on someone's HST? |

Domenca said: How do you decide what question(s) you ask on someone's HST? Honestly, most of the time they're questions I'd have fun answering myself. Other than that, I often go to a person's profile or anime list for inspiration, like most other people. I also try to ask questions where the answer could change over time for people with super long threads in case somebody has asked something similar before (for example: what are you planning to watch next?) Aaand sometimes I just get random ideas from random things so I write it down for later or something. Like, one day I was going through my fav anime amvs for whatever reason and then I asked a few people on here if they watched amvs. But for like, deciding which question goes to who kind of depends on how well I know them? Or what I can assume from their profiles or previous responses? Like, if I have a question about a game I'll probably ask it to someone I think plays games. The people I don't know well or otherwise can't read get the more generic questions I ask everybody and the people I know or enjoy talking to get more personal ones usually. Unless I'm out of ideas or don't have the patience to snoop through older questions, profiles, and list for ideas, then everybody gets generic questions I ask everybody. |

After so long of hearing everybody saying it was way overrated and edgey shounen trash and also after that recent thing with Armin and spoilers and other unnecessary things, I really grew distant from it. So new season is a good reminder of why I liked it in the first place! Tsuki ga Kirei: Kind of boring but I am holding out on the hope that it gets tragic since it's being worked on by a person who worked on Angel Beats and a person who worked on Orange, and if you know the ending of the one and just the plot of the other I think you'll get where I'm coming from here. you and i are watching totally different shows unfortunetly this season haha Seems like you have a generally positive impression so far ^^ I saved up Tsuki ga Kirei for marathoning so i hope it gets better since your first impression here is that it is boring... Do you prefer anime related-questions or non-anime questions? :P |
