When an anime has a scene that genuinely impresses you, and then you watch another anime that has a scene identical to the first anime, is the experience the same, or can you not help but feel bias towards the first anime that impressed you?

What I'm trying to say is, when two anime have identical scenes that emotionally move you, do you consider the 2nd anime that you watch with that scene as a "copycat" that doesn't compare to the first anime that gave you that same experience?

So, you would choose to be a weapon, that's cool. Then, would you want a Meister?

@Tarotist Hmm, most of the time when I am watching anime, the only thing I am thinking about is the anime that I am currently watching. Even when two anime are identical in nearly every way, I don't compare them while I watch them, so a scene that is moving to me would still be moving, at least while I am watching. Does that make sense?

@Deerlice Sorry, I don't understand the question

@PhKay Yes, I love the weekends. Either they are dedicated to rugby, or I a̶m̶ ̶a̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶d̶u̶c̶t̶i̶v̶e̶ ̶h̶u̶m̶a̶n̶ ̶b̶e̶i̶n̶g̶ binge anime and R&R, but they are needed to get me through the week

@clampfan Yes, I would like to have a meister. A weapon could only improve with a good mesiter after all :)

A couple more reasons why would be because of the Russian 5 and the two brawls against Colorado (I love me a good fight)

You tried to apply for a position to work at an anime studio. Two anime studios have accepted you. But these two studios are working on a separate type of anime...

Studio A will be working on a popular mainstream anime. The quality of the anime itself is not all too great and its reception is mixed among the masses. However, thanks to its consistency and popularity, working for this studio guarantees that the anime will sell and will earn you some income.

Studio B is a newly founded studio that is working on a niche anime. Since the anime is new, almost no one will recognize it, so the chances of it selling is not very high. However, the niche anime has great potential. If it does well, its popularity can increase rapidly, resulting in an exponential boost in sales. The studio will gain recognition, and their anime will be a surprise newcomer into the anime industry where it may become even more successful in the future. However, if the anime fails to achieve its sales quota, the studio will disband, making your attempt futile.

Do you choose to play it safe and work for Mainstream studio A?

Or will you choose to take a chance and break into the anime industry by working with Niche Studio B?

Anime can be watched either Subbed or Dubbed. However, there are some live-action films where two different languages are spoken frequently.

What do you think would happen if Japanese and foreign (presumably American) Voice Actors were to collaborate together to voice in an anime where two different languages are spoken throughout the series? If a live-action film can have dialogue in different languages, do you think it is possible for an anime to do the same? Would you want to watch an anime like this?

@Tarotist
Well, assuming I like the kind of niche studio B is operating of course, I choose studio B

I think it would definitely be interesting, and being totally honest I do cringe a bit when a character that is supposed to be American speaks really strong engrish. I do think that they can do the same in anime, the only problem I would have with it would be the contrast between two voices actors for the same character. It would be way worse than watching a subbed anime and then watching the dub. I would watch it.

Hmm, Space Dandy

Imagine that your all-time favorite character walks in a library, grabs a book (we never know which one) and calmly starts reading it; the camera slowly changes angles and there's absolutely no dialog at all, occasionally you will see the MC moving on to the next page, and keep reading quietly.

The next episode is exactly the same, just the MC reading the book and at least we see a mischievous smile that denotes that something important has happened. As the MC walks out of the library, his/her best friend approaches and asks ''did you find what you were looking for?'' and suddenly the background music shift to a powerful violin solo, the MC's eyes are burning with passion and when you are about to hear the reply, the screen fades to black and shows ''to be continue''. How would you feel?

Note:limited to on screen deaths only (multiple animes just wipe out an entire village or world)

I love One Piece. I am able to get really attached to the characters and the story. My top three favorite characters are, in this order: Zoro, Luffy, and Brook. tbh I wish they would sing Bink's Sake more often

Hello everyone. I decided after taking several of Phkay's surveys that it would be fun to make one of my own. Rather than stepping on his toes, and using up his material for a survey I have decided to base mine off food and such.

If it goes well than I will do my best to continue on. This week will be favorite hot beverage.

If possible try to generalize and avoid brand names. this will make it easier to tally up at the end.

Step One:


Step Two:



Step Three:
the drink with more points after all three steps goes onto the final.




Step Four: Final Round

@PhKay I don't watch a lot of it, but off the top of my head: K-On, which I don't believe I finished; Gochuumon; and Gakkou Gurashi if it counts as one

@Tarotist I would have to say it is improving our socialization. I know many people think that they actually isolate us, but personally, if I am in a situation where I would be on my phone, then I would just distract myself with something else if I didn't have it.
