for instance with my avatar, i actually have seen a lot of the one piece movies but, i'm not nearly as into the show and manga as some people are. but i just really like how it looks. however, when it comes to my sig, that is from Magi which i read and watch...do you choose your avatar based on the anime's you are most into, or is more about how it looks, how it reflects your personality, etc. ?

I saw this ultra kawaii female Kokkuri-san and just had to have it, so I screenshotted and cut some.
I rarely revisit threads, so if you're after a reply you should PM me or post a comment on my profile.

My favorite anime/manga/characters

I don't really like having forum sets of random fan arts.

With this being an Anime forum, I decided to choose an Anime related avatar that is awesome.

And Fandora IS awesome.

I pick whatever looks good.
I used to go with only yui hirasawa avatars as a theme, but thought Itoshiki better suited my posts and myself. It also looks better.
I like nichijou, and it complimented my avatar and desire for a rotating sig.

I can see you

I just choose characters that I like and that compliment my personality. Avatars and signatures are the only visual representations of yourself on the Internet, so it willl also be many people's first impression of you, therefore I think that it's important to put some thought into them.

I was watching some eva and saw the potential of one shot, so I took the opportunity before me. I don't care about my signature, but I approve of what I have.

I just picked a character I'm similar to.

Sets and signatures are really stupid and pointless. I think the whole thing is kind of pathetic lol

I always choose a robot, power suit, some kind of android and in rare cases a mecha pilot. Usually stuff that I think won't have too many copies around.

My current forum avatar and my last featured cups to go along with the "swig" in Swiggy.
Jon Arbuckle is also much like myself when it comes to actions, so I got a two in one deal going on.
Weeks before, I had been preparing to change my avatar to Tom Tanaka from Durarara! since we're like... the same person when it comes to personality kinda, but Jon with a cup is A-okay too.

My profile picture is just a Western cartoon style drawing I did of myself. I tried to keep it true to my appearance but also slightly exaggerated any unattractive features (like bags under my eyes), because why not? It's a lot about keeping it real but not really because it's not an actual picture of me but whatever.

In other words, my avatars are meant to represent me in some way.

It's usually on a whim with no rhyme or reason. I was on Aldnoah.Zero subforums and a guy wouldn't stop raging about Slaine so I thought "hey, let's do a Slaine profile!" I've been too lazy to change it since but it usually goes with what show or theme is really speaking out to me at that particular time.

I pick avatars of people that nobody uses. Also it has to look good. Everybody thought I was using Miku once LOL, that was a Fire Emblem character.

Right now my current avy are people from two Final Fantasy games. Sigs are random.

It's one of my favorite characters, and all my favorite characters listed do I think represent a side of me.

I will probably never change my avatar, perhaps my profile though

I go on /a/, surf the threads and save everything that looks cool, then I go on my imgur later to look through everything I've saved, and then just use whatever I want to use.
