You have died and are sent to Purgatory. Because you have failed to watch every anime while you were still alive, you will be sent to hell. However, you have been given a chance to ascend into heaven. All you have to do is watch every anime listed on MAL. There is a catch: You cannot drop a single anime, and you must watch them in either ascending or descending order based on MAL rank. If you watch in ascending order, you will start from the lowest ranked anime (# 6000, #5999, #5998...) and watch in rank order until you reach the #1 anime on MAL. If you watch in descending order, you will start with the #1 anime on MAL, then the #2 anime, then #3, and so on until you reach the lowest ranked anime. Save the best for last and watch in ascending order, or start strong and watch in descending order? |

fizzytastic said: Lol, thanks for visiting my HST ^^I'll see ya there buddy (・∀・ ) Do you want me to make you a list of every anime I've watched bc there was a cute boy on the cover. There's quite a lot. Uhhhh nothing really comes to mind. Does Eto from Tokyo Ghoul really count as a villian? She's kind of antagonistic but I'm not sure if she's actually a villain. Anyways, I do kind of agree with her ideals and I kind of wish Kaneki would just let her destroy everything and give the world a factory reset. I don't really have anything for the protagonist I disagree with. (╯ ⃤ ╰,) As for the cute white hair boys, perhaps you can give me 5 examples of them? XD XD Hmm, sadly i'm only watch the first TG (and haven't watched TG root A) and i think this Eto gal is become relevant in the later part of the story isn't she? (except i miss something :P) But still, nice to hear some of your opinion about this.. Anyway, on to next question.. What kind of attitude/personality that usually make you dislike a character? |

You are given a button. This button will, when pressed, kill everyone you know. However, pressing it also saves the lives of 1 million total strangers on the other side of the world that will die if you do not press it. Do you press the button? |

Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 59! 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! BEST NICHE ANIME! Step 1: Nominate 4 Anime TV Series who are ranked outside the Top 500 in the MAL Popularity Rankings and have aired before 2015! They should also be 1st Seasons unless you have trouble finding nominations! Step 2: Competition Time! Do all competitions and send the Anime winning the most points straight to the Final! Eliminate the Anime in last place. 2nd and 3rd move on to Step 3! TIEBREAKER: Break all relevant ties by redoing C1 with the tied anime only! C1: Give 2 points to the Anime with the most uncommon or bravest theme(s) and 1 point to the anime finishing 2nd in this regard. C2: Give 1 point to the anime you think has the smallest potential fanbase (for other reasons than being bad of course lol). The anime you consider “most mainstreamish” gets -1 point! C3: Give 1 point to each anime tackling issues which are considered sensitive in Japan. C4: Give 1 point to the Anime with the most unique characters and -1 to the anime with the most cliché characters. Step 3: Is there anything else I didn´t ask about in the competition which is essential to you in a non mainstream anime? Send the Anime doing whatever you came up with above better to the Final and eliminate the other! If you could not come up with anything, the Anime you rated better advances. If they have the same rating, the least popular one moves on! Step 4: Welcome to the Unrestricted Final! Crown one of your finalists “Best Niche Anime!” Step 1: Nominate 4 Anime TV Series who are ranked outside the Top 500 in the MAL Popularity Rankings and have aired before 2015! They should also be 1st Seasons unless you have trouble finding nominations! If you also did the Full Version, don´t nominate your full version winner here again. The Eliminator! E1: Eliminate the Anime you thought was least imaginative. E2: Eliminate the Anime which fascinated you earliest in. E3: The Anime you enjoyed more overall wins! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

No problem pal (´・ω・`) Yeah okay I'll just the ones that first come to mind then lol, so these are (some of) the characters from things I've watched solely because they had white hair: Art from Hamatora, Yashiro from K, Yuma from World Trigger, Allen from D. Gray-Man, and Ureu Mono from Devil Survivor 2 ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ I watch a lot of dubious things for my white haired boys Uuuuhm not really?? ;x; She only has like 5 minutes of screentime total in the entirety of season 2. She's more important in the manga. She definitely rocks those 5 minutes though lol, I love her If my favorites are all headstrong/rude/sarcastic/aggressive/violent/powerful, then my least favorites are probably the opposite. A lot of these characters are on people's “did nothing wrong squad.” I don't like characters who run away from their problems. Or run away in general, I guess. I don't like cowardly characters or ones who panic easily/all the time. I don't like characters who are weak-minded and can't make a decision. Like for example, I've specified that I liked Shuu more in the later half of the Guilty Crown series in an earlier answer, but he actually really annoyed me at first. The worst part was this moment he was approached by the main antagonists of the series. They gave him a thing that would send his location to them and he was meant to press it when he was in one of the other main character's presence, so the antagonists would know where this other guy is. Shuu doesn't trust this other guy quite yet, despite the fact he obviously knows what he's doing, but he isn't sure so he just does nothing. And that Really irritated me. He could've been found with that thing and been thrown out or whatever and he wouldn't have had any explanation for it except “well I might not have ratted you out. I was still thinking about it.” That's dumb. Like, c'mon dude do it or don't but you have to choose. Not...especially. :'D I only like hugs when I initiate them. That's a very cute gif tho.

PhKay said: Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 59! I'll do this now then ovo Step 1: • Kimi to Boku (....let me tell you now that this one is likely going to win, I adore Kimi to Boku) • World Trigger (this started airing before 2015, so I'm assuming that counts?? >>) • Un-Go • Tegami Bachi Step 2: C1: • Un-Go +2 (I've never seen a character exactly like Inga anywhere else so there's that) • World Tigger +1 C2: • Kimi to Boku +1 • World Trigger -1 (it already has the most viewers out of the four, it's ranked #509 in terms of member count) C3: • None of them do that so points to none?? C4: • World Trigger +1 • Tegami Bachi -1 • Tegami Bachi is eliminated Step 3: • Not especially? Maybe a competition giving a point to the anime with the least members and highest score might've been nice, but if the answer isn't directly obvious that could be complicated to work out. • Kimi to Boku +1 • World Trigger is eliminated :( Step 4: • Kimi to Boku is crowned Best Niche Anime • Un-Go gets second place I guess lol I'm gonna start saying which anime won after the spoiler, in case you don't wanna try to read all that to find out. In this case, Kimi to Boku won. OvOb |

These individuals often possess dark personality traits such as disagreeableness, dishonesty, and aggressiveness. These characters are usually considered "conspicuously contrary to an archetypal hero" Step 2: Quick Elimination Round! Pick Serious or Random!

C2: Which antihero is least popular among other characters in the anime? C3: Which antihero has the weakest superpowers? If more than one character has no superpowers at all, go by normal physical strength! C4: Which antihero has the most likeable weaknesses like extreme shyness, lack of self-confidence etc.? C5: Which antihero fails to achieve his goals the most? Step 4: Welcome to the Final! This time in the form of a mini-contest between the finalists! 2 out of 3 Rounds wins the Survey! Crown the Winner “Best Antihero in Anime!” Round 1: The finalists fight each other in a wrestling ring! Whoever gets pinned or thrown out of the ring loses! Who wins? Round 2: The evil side offers each antihero money to quit fighting them. The offers become more tempting every minute. . Who ultimately gives in, takes the money and quits first? The character remaining a hero gets the point! Round 3: Who did you root for more during the anime? Step 1: Nominate four Anti-Heroes in Anime you like! If you did the Full Version also, don´t nominate the winner of your Full Version here again! Here´s wikipedia´s definition of the term: An antihero, or antiheroine, is a protagonist who lacks conventional heroic qualities such as idealism, courage, or morality.[1][2][3][4][5] These individuals often possess dark personality traits such as disagreeableness, dishonesty, and aggressiveness.

....Um. Someone who helps others just for the sake of helping? ;-; Someone greatly empathetic and brave? Izanagi777 said: Haha, i see.. Thanks for your explanation and some example of cute white hair boys XD Btw does D.Gray Man any good? I guess it's the only popular shonen that i haven't watched yet.. And well, we share the exact same opinion about Shuu.. he's my favorite from Guilty Crown and overall also one of my all time favorite character but i can't help but felt annoyed especially in the beginning with the exact same reason that you mentioned above :/ Speaking of Shuu, what's your opinion about Guilty Crown? Do you like/enjoyed it? :P You're welcome buddy ol pal. I'd recommend it! Especially if you like shounen in general. The only problem I might've had with it would be the fillers, but there's easy to find lists of canon/filler episodes so it's easy to skip if they annoy you. I love the cast of DGM though, they're all really likable. The only reason I haven't finished Hallow yet is because DGM stresses me out lol >v>' I think positively of it, like it's a series I'd be okay recommending to others. That's about all I can say about it? It was easy to watch but I don't think about it too much. PhKay said: Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!!

If that were a thing, I don't think I'd particularly care if other people did it since it's their body and all. I don't have any need to be faster or stronger but I think I'd think about the brain thing, so maybe my memory would work better or so I'd have a longer attention span.

It's on of those anime were you can tell that thought and care was put into it. Except maybe for certain logics that have to do with how the underwater world works, but it's mostly inconsequential I think. Like.. fish don't hibernate and neither do humans so that part wasn't explained well. There's a few other things like that but it's believable enough with how the characters act about it. I like the characters though, Hikari is the kind of protagonist I like. He's very very brash lol. He grows up from that quite a bit as the series progresses in a slow and realistic way, and as a person who's fond of both jerks and good character development, he's a good protagonist in my book. I have no clue how it's gonna end though. I'm assuming maybe with everyone waking up? And Manaka reuniting with Hikari? (Assuming she isn't dead lol) jimanator said: how important is love? Love is very important!! Whether it's romantic or platonic, humans are social creatures and need affection and support from others to thrive and be happy (again, regardless of whether it's romantic or platonic). PhKay said: Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 61! I haven't watched that many historical anime, and the only one I liked enough to feel okay with calling it Best Historical Anime is 91 Days. ;-; |

Truthfully i have ever watched the first arc of D.Gray Man long time ago, but i guess right now i'm kinda forget about it so i might as well start it from the beginning.. Not to mention that we also got D.Gray Man Hallow.. Thanks for the recommendation pal XD XDYou're welcome buddy ol pal. I'd recommend it! Especially if you like shounen in general. The only problem I might've had with it would be the fillers, but there's easy to find lists of canon/filler episodes so it's easy to skip if they annoy you. I love the cast of DGM though, they're all really likable. The only reason I haven't finished Hallow yet is because DGM stresses me out lol >v>' I think positively of it, like it's a series I'd be okay recommending to others. That's about all I can say about it? It was easy to watch but I don't think about it too much. Yeah, i agree with you.. Anyway, which anime do you think have the best world building from the ones that you have watched so far? |

I'm more of a fan of action but I can easily enjoy something more among the lines of everyday life. Although some slice of life have action too. I'm really not sure? Slice of life has a lot more school buildings than most other genres at least. |

Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 62! 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! BEST ANIMAL IN ANIME! Step 1: Nominate four Animals/Pets in Anime you thought were a great addition to their show! Step 2: Competition Time! For each competition, give the winner 2 points and the animal doing worst -1 point. ! At the end, send the Winner straight to the Final (Step 4). Eliminate the animal in last place. 2nd and 3rd place move on to Step 3! TIEBREAKER: Break all relevant ties by redoing C1 with the tied animals only! C1: Which Animal is most/least significant to its Anime´s story? C2: Which Animal has the most/least impact on the lives of the humans surrounding it? C3: Which Animal is responsible for the best comedy relief? (no -1 here) C4: The Animals compete in an Agility race! Who wins? Who finishes last? Bonus Points: Give 1 point to each animal you think is cute ^^ Give 1 point to each animal you think should have had more screentime! Step 3: Do you prefer Animals in Anime to be acting as realistic as possible or do you like unrealistic, weird animals more? Send the Animal acting closest to or furthest away from reality to the final depending on your answer to the question! Eliminate the other! Step 4: Welcome to the Final! If you had to take in one of your two finalists, which animal would you like to make your pet? Crown it “Best Animal in Anime!” Step 1: Nominate four Animals/Pets in Anime you thought were a great addition to their show! If you also did the Full Version, you cannot nominate your Full Version Winner here again! The Eliminator! Semifinal 1: Send the Animal with the greatest personality to the Final! Semifinal 2: Send the Animal with the best design/looks (and is not already in the final) to the final! Final: Which Animal was more fun to watch during the Anime? Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

PhKay said: So what is your final verdict now that you are done? ^^ It was good! I am unfortunately a little disappointed though. :'( The only couple that actually got together was the one I didn't care for too much and when I watch romance for the sake of romance I'm a little sad when the couples I like doesn't establish something by the end. I thought it was sad that both Hikari and Monaka both knew that they liked each other but decided to not actually do anything about it? Like Hikari himself said that he didn't mind if things changed or if they didn't. I'm also sad that Tsumugu left because he and Chisaki were probably my favorites lol. I liked their casual banter and how comfortable they were around each other. But they also never actually established anything? The last we saw of them was Chisaki in denial, then they hugged in that one scene with no words exchanged, and then Tsumugu leaves and I understand why but y'know. The hearts wants what it wants. I'm also a little sad that it was a bit predictable by the end.. One of the reasons it excited me so much in the first place was that it really threw me off and surprised me. But then the same things happened and once I knew before it happened that it was gonna be Miuna who sacrificed herself. I really did like it. I just didn't fancy the end too much I suppose. It was easy to watch and that means something to me. I don't like dropping things so most of the time I'll force myself to finish something but I never once had to force myself to watch Nagi no Asukara. I'm planning on giving it an 8 when I remember too. Izanagi777 said: Well, actually at that time a plan to watch it but after i finished the first arc, i get very busy that i don't really have time to watch anime (not only D.Gray Man) and by the time i become free, it's already like more than a month so i guess i put it on-hold at that time since i kinda forget what happen to the first arc and not really in mood to start the long running series, i still have all of their episodes though :P (I'm a type of person who download the anime instead watch them streaming XD) And you haven't answer my question XD XD which anime do you think have the best world building from the ones that you have watched so far? :P Oh okay o3o I was just wondering if it was something about the show you didn't like, I was gonna let you know if it stopped or changed later on or something. ovo Yeah I feel you, I kinda do the same thing with other long running series I'm watching lol. Ah, let me be frank pal, that kind of sounds like a pain. Doesn't it take forever to download so many episodes? ;-; Oh oops sorry. I was going to?? :'D I'm not really the kind of person to pay attention to world building too much honestly. I notice more when it's lacking rather then when it's not, if that makes sense. Like I can clearly see when something doesn't work right in universe, or shouldn't work right but does anyways, or isn't explained or explained well enough. But.. when things fit it just feels natural and I unfortunately couldn't tell you which one feels the most natural. Ya feel me?? Although, because I'm watching it currently so it's easier to recall, Mushishi does feel very natural. It's easy to just accept things at face value because it just makes sense or the characters play things off well enough to where it feels like it makes sense to them so it makes sense to you too because it feels natural. PhKay said: What is the most amazingly animated show you ever saw? Ooooh nice question!! O3O I love animation. Although I didn't like the story itself too much, I loved Kiznaiver's animation a lot. A lot a lot. The colors were nice to look at and everything was very smooth and also nice to look at. I think that in itself was worth the watch honestly. Runner ups are probably One Punch Man and K. K scores higher in aesthetics but Opm does move better in general. Other runner ups are various Bones, Madhouse, KyoAni, Mappa, and Trigger animations because those are some of my favorite studios (although more solely for animation rather than content with Trigger, since I've only actually watched two of their series and one I didn't like so much). I definitely give anime bonus points for being nice to look at though, just in general. PhKay said: Hey Hey what do you say! It´s survey time again!! Happy Monday and Welcome to HST Survey Number 62! Actually participating again, yay! :'D Step 1: • Taroumaru from Gakkougurashi • Timcanpy from D. Gray-Man • Kyuubey from Madoka Magica • Raijinmaru from World Trigger Step 2: C1: • Kyuubey has most significance +2 (close tie with Taroumaru) • Raijinmaru has the least :( -1 C2: •Taroumaru has the most impact +2 • Raijinmaru has the least -1 C3: • Raijinmaru is responsible for the best comedy +2 (close tie with Tim) C4: • Timcanpy wins the race +2 (close tie with Taroumaru) • Raijinmaru comes in last -1 (I'm honestly sad) Bonus: • Raijinmaru is cutest and should have had more screentime :I +2 • Tim is also cute +1 Step 3: • Raijinmaru is disqualified due to lack of points • Timcanpy goes straight to Step 4 • If it wasn't obvious from the contestants I picked, I like weird critters more. • Kyuubey is most peculiar and Taroumaru is disqualified Step 4: • I would much rather live with Timcanpy than Kyuubey. Timcanpy from D. Gray-Man is crowned Best Animal in Anime! |

Puchkov said: Now that we've reached the final two weeks of the year, wanted to ask if you will be watching more, less, or about the same amount of Anime in 2017? Likely about the same. Ever since I really got into anime I've set a goal for myself to finish about 100 per year (although this includes OVAs and such). So I imagine I'd watch about 100 next year too. Hoping for more sequels though.. >>' I wouldn't press it, if something bad happens I don't wanna take the blame lol |

Step 1: PLEASE PUT YOUR WHOLE SURVEY ANSWER IN SPOILER TAGS THIS WEEK as Spoiler cannot be avoided this time! Thank You ^^ As the Name of the Survey gives away, this will be the end of surveying...but only for the year of 2016! ;) According to my own observations, there are four typical ending types in Anime: HAPPY ENDINGS SAD ENDINGS BITTERSWEET ENDINGS which feature both sadder and happier elements. OPEN ENDINGS which do not fully explain a few important elements of the plot and/or leave room for the viewer to interprete the ending himself. Eliminate the Ending type you enjoy the least in general! The other three ending types move on to Step 2! Step 2: Nominate the first Anime that comes to your mind for all three ending types who made it to this Step! Your picks will move on to the Step 3. Only use your list as help if your mind goes blank spontaeniously haha Step 3: Competition time! For each competition, the winner gets a point. Once an Anime reaches his 2nd Point, send it to the final! It does not compete in the remaining competitions! The first two Anime to reach 2 Points go to the final, the third Show is eliminated! C1: Which Anime has the best build-up to its ending? C2: Which Anime has the best characters? C3: If your favorite character from each Show would be the candidates for Mayor of your hometown, who would you vote for? C4: Which Anime has the best looking Animation? C5: There´s only one way to be fair here: Which Anime features the prettiest Girl? ;) Step 4: Welcome to the unrestricted Final and the last Survey decision of 2016! Which Finalist´s ending did you enjoy more? Crown it the "Best Ending in Anime!" Step 1: Nominate four Anime you thought had a great ending! If you also did the Full Version, don´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! E1: Eliminate the Anime you enjoyed the least as a whole. E2: Eliminate the Anime which was most predictable! E3: The Anime with the better ending wins! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

Step 1: You threw an epic New Years Eve Party at your house and all the anime characters you like were there, got drunk and had the time of their life! Now it is 8 in the morning on January 1st. Which four characters are most likely to still be at your place? (doesn´t matter if they lay around passed out or if they are awake lol). Those four will be your nominees! Step 2: Competition Time! Do all competitions! Send the character with the most points straight to the final! Eliminate the character in last place. 2nd and 3rd move on to Step 3! TIEBREAKER: If two or more characters are tied for 1st or 3rd, redo C1 with the tied characters only! C1: Everyone lies around trying to deal with their hangover while you started cleaning up. Give 2pts to each character who you think will get up and help you and -1pt to each character that is most likely to just fall asleep on your couch again. Give the character helping out the most an additional point! C2: After a few hours, your place is finally tidied up again and noon is fast approaching! Who volunteers to do the cooking for everyone? Give that person 2pts. Give him or her an additional point if the meal actually tastes good. C3: Suddenly your doorbell rings. You open and it´s the police! They say someone damaged a car yesterday night by throwing an empty whiskey bottle out of the window and that the offender is still here! Who is most likely to be the culprit? Give him -1 if he admits it, -2 if he denies it and -3 if he tries to blame someone else! C4: Finally, give a point out of pity to each character who (very likely) got drunk at your party for the very first time! Give an extra point to the character who suffers most from the hangover. Step 3: One character left your place to go home and one character left as he is headed to the final. However, you finally wanna get rid of the two people in this step as well. However, they are way too lazy and depleted. What would you try to do to make them leave? For which of the two would your plan work better? Send that person to the final! The other person takes a taxi to loser land...or crashes at your place another night…he´s out either way ;) Step 4: Two characters have overcome their hangovers and reached the Final! Now you get to watch a highlight DVD with all the personal best scenes from each finalist! Who was the more enjoyable character to watch? Crown him the “Conqueror of New Year´s Day!” [spoiler=QuickVersion] Step 1: You threw an epic New Years Eve Party at your house and all the anime characters you like were there, got drunk and had the time of their life! Now it is 8 in the morning on January 1st. Which four characters are most likely to still be at your place? (doesn´t matter if they lay around passed out or if they are awake lol). Those four will be your nominees! If you also did the Full Version, don´t nominate its winner here again! The Eliminator! E1: Eliminate the character who you think loses control over himself the most when he´s drunk as he is most likely to blame for all the damaged stuff in your place! E2: Eliminate the character who stole that outrageously expensive 45-year old whiskey bottle only to mix it with cola! [/ spoiler] E3: The person handling his hangover the best wins! Thank you very much for participating in this survey! ^^ |

I don't know?? A mass shooting, I guess? I'm really not sure how to answer this one. Kind of like your girl in the gif actually, I usually sleep on my stomach or side leaning towards stomach while using my arms as a pillow. PhKay said: Final thoughts on Nanbaka? ^^ It was.. a lot more violent than expected lol. For an anime that sparkles constantly it was actually kind of dark. Like, I sure wasn't expecting a character to be in a coma for three days? Or chopped off ears? It was super weird but I'll watch the next season.

Don't like the art style that much but I can't call the Ouran or Natsume boys "hot" >>' +3 • Fruits Basket is good but it's art style is the worst and everyone is ugly -1 C3: • Yona has the prettiest eyes<3 +3 • Natsume has the most normal -1 C4: • Natsume's Book of Friends +6 (automatically sent to final) • Ouran Highschool Host Club +6 • Yona of the Dawn +4 • Fuits Basket +2 (automatically eliminated) Step 3: • Well, girls usually try to find more gays than guys I think.

Morferz said: What are your thoughts on Samurai Flamenco ? Samflam is one of the weird ones. Like, when I started it I didn't read up on it from anywhere or anything, I just started it. I was kind of expecting a slice of life about how you can't always fulfill your dreams but you can find happiness elsewhere. Something like that. And it did take a slightly different turn than that, because he did fulfill his dreams. Although it wasn't exactly how he imagined and he still had to work really hard to get where he wanted so that was still within what I was expecting, and it was like that for like 7 or 8 episodes. Then the Guillotine Gorilla showed up and I was like.. Woah. Hold on. This isn't PG-13. Then it was like the creators had a competition with themselves to make each arc/villain more and more bizarre. And it was. Samflam was entirely bizarre (excluding the first 7 or 8 episodes). I think it deserves a higher score though, like not an 8 or anything but when I actually looked at the score on mal for the first time I was really surprised because I was maybe expecting a 7.5. Now it's a 6.99. :( |

Domenca said: What is a good thing anime gave you? (e.g. view on life, critical thinking, friends...) Do you think anime usually influence people positively or negatively? Why do you watch anime? Anime gives me happiness. As somebody who suffers from dissociation and depression anime really helps to keep those things at bay. Like whenever I'm feeling sad that my mom and sister hate my dad or scared of my mom's stalker ex (stalker is not my dad, for clarification) or feeling numb and melancholic for no particular reason I'll just think about how much I love Ouran Highschool Host Club or another one of my favorites and everything is okay again. There are few things that I can just think about and be filled with happy thoughts and smiles and anime is a lot of that (other things being my human best friend and my cat best friend). I just.. feel like my typical state of mind is bored, lonely, stressed or some other negative concoction and anime makes me feel things other than that. It's nice. Fiction does influence reality. When Jaws aired shark deaths skyrocketed. After the Harry Potter movies hundreds of owls were bought as pets. I don't think anime would be any different in influencing people and how they think. Whether it influences you positively or negatively depends on what you're watching and what kind of person you are. If an anime you love and respect has certain ideas or elements, there's a good chance you might start to agree with those ideas or try to bring those elements into real life. Unless you can acutely separate reality from fiction or are stubborn in your beliefs. I watch anime for a few reasons (aside from the fact it makes me intensely happy). 1. I love the absurd creativity. I might be a bit biased because once I started watching anime I watched very little else, but from my experience you just don't see the stuff you see in anime anywhere else. Like yeah there's some weird stuff, Lost was pretty crazy, but not anywhere near as weird as anime can be and I love that. There's never gonna be an American equivalent to Letter Bee, Princess Tutu, Assassination Classroom, Show by Rock, Durarara, ect. And I haven't seen Jojo's Bizarre Adventure but I'm fairly certain it tops all of those in eccentrcity. I love the odd tropes that you would only see in anime too, like the dead mom side ponytail. 2. I've always really loved animation and I like the way anime looks in general. The good stuff is eye candy for me. 3. My preferred protagonist is someone close to my age, and in most American TV I watch the characters seem to be to too old (or at least rugged and older looking) or too young to be really relatable whereas in anime the protagonists are usually in their teens or younger 20s. 4. I also really love the kind of characters that anime has. Which is a little vague, I know, since there are a lot of different kinds of anime characters, but I'm mostly referring to my favorite kinds of characters. For one thing, I love that (for the most part) anime lets boys be feminine and girls be masculine in a way I see much less often in American media. Whether it be in tiny ways like boys with vibrant pink hair or girls who hit harder than men. Or in big ways where some characters are so androgynous it's hard to tell what gender they are. Stuff like that. And I've said this before in a different post but I love sassy and/or crazy characters. There's plenty of those in all kinds of media but I'm shallow so I like the anime ones much much better because they're much much cuter lol. 5. Lastly, as a whole, anime is more gay than most other things. It feels more welcoming at least. Like, yeah queer baiting is a thing, but anime is less obnoxious about it. Shows like Supernatural and Sherlock hint and give fanservice but John is married and Dean explicitly sleeps with woman on screen. On the other hand, in most anime I've seen even if the implied gay couple isn't officially a couple by the end of the series, there's usually not straight couple that's official either. With anime, for me, I think it's more often just open for interpretation rather than queer baiting, and that's perfectly fine. I think that's better than there being not any gay at all lol, which is usually the case in common tv. Again, I might be a bit biased? Since, like I said earlier, I don't watch much else other than anime nowadays. So hopefully none of that sounded dumb because it's actually everywhere lol. Sorry for the extra long responses but these are probably my favorite questions thus far! Thanks! ovo Puchkov said: Which is your favorite episode of Mushishi? Even I would have a hard time answering that XD. Season 1 episode 12!!!!! Because Ginko backstory!! Or any episode that has Tanyu or Adashino in it because I like them a lot. Or the very first episode because I think it was a good introduction to the series. Really every episode is my favorite, I love Mushishi a whole bunch<3 I regret finishing it as fast as I did because I miss watching it... 8') |
