Fandom post, Meme

Since I was tagged by [profile] hyper_airis , here's an otaku meme for you:

◆好きな女性キャラクターを五人答えてください
(Your five favorite female characters.)
1. Inoue Orihime (Bleach) Probably the closest I'll ever be to loving a 'weak' girl, and even then, she's barely the type.
2. Kouzuki Tsukasa (Tokyo Crazy Paradise) reincarnated as Mogami Kyoko The first girl who taught me the meaning of "LADY OF WAR" and had me melting into a pile of fangirl goo over an action scene.
3. Usagi Tsukino (Sailormoon) I have memories of leaping from my seat and screaming her name during season finales/movies. Great times.
4. Tifa Lockhart (FFVII) She kicks ass, and is also a practical, sensible woman.
5. Agrias Alexiel Sevotharte Terra Mia Aya Brea (Parasite Eve) God, that was such a hard choice. I decided on the girl that I spent the most effort on.

◆アナタが一番好きなのは誰ですか?
(↑ Who do you like the most?)
Oooh, hard choice. I have a weakness for awesome fighting girls (It was all Tsukasa and Usagi's fault during my formative years), but given the way Orihime slipped through the radar and have me pondering about her character during idle hours, I'll have to go with her.

◆好きな男性キャラクター五人答えてください
(Your five favorite male characters.)
1. Kudoh Yohji (Weiss Kreuz) - what started out as last-resort-fave in high school turned into a decade-long familiarity with the character.
2. Keiichirou Tachibana (Antique Bakery) - Live life to the fullest! No matter what trauma, what crazy obstacle fate drops in your way. Great philosophy to live by.
3. Kurosaki Ichigo (Bleach) - I generally hate or dismiss shounen heroes, because they're mostly a. Mary Sues b. Annoying, loud little boys c. Assholes. Ichigo is also a little bit of all of those, but the fact that he's also an academically smart, metrosexual (you'll have to convince me otherwise), fashionably conscious shounen hero amuses me to no end.
4. Sado Yasutora (Bleach) - reliable, adorable, and quiet and sexy. I'm also convinced that he operates on the same wavelength as Orihime.
5. Daisuke Ginkou Guts Muraki Cloud Strife (FFVII) - no, not the emo Advent Children one, the crossdressing, dragon-smooching, wise-cracking, messed-up soldier in the first game.

◆アナタが一番好きなのは誰ですか?
(↑ Who do you like the most?) Also a hard choice. I'd marry either Tachibana or Chad at the drop of a hat, but when it comes to writing characters, I'm almost always successful with Yohji, and have invested the most effort on understanding the character. And I love listening to his voice.

◆好きなゲームを三つ答えてください
(Your three favorite games.)
1. FFVII
2. Soma Bringer The World Ends With You
3. Diablo II

I have never finished any of these games, but I keep repeating them anyway, so that probably counts for something. Also, I've never owned a console beyond a PS1 and a DS lite, so that narrows it down effectively.

◆好きな声優さんは?
(Your favorite anime seiyuu?)
Miki Shin'ichirou. Of course. Lots of runner-ups, though.

◆好きなアニソンは?
(Your top anisons [anime songs]?)
1. The Road (Weiss Kreuz and the rest of their 60+ songs)
2. Life Goes On (Antique Bakery)
3. Rolling Star Velonica (Bleach) Most of the OP's of Bleach.
4. Midori no Hane (uhhhh... Nappletale? Obscure game soundtrack by Yoko Kanno and Maaya Sakamoto ftw)
5. The Sore Feet song (Mushishi)

◆コスプレをする?またはどんなコスプレをしてみたい?
(Do you cosplay? Or, what kind of cosplay would you like to do?)

Have cosplayed at least once. *shifty eyes*. I will not talk about it. I wish that someday, I can cosplay a character that I both like and actually look like. I mean, I do have an almost complete outfit of Gluhen Yohji, but I look nothing like him, so I just own it for the sake of having it.

◆アニメ・漫画・ゲームの中で現実に欲しいものは?
(What is something you would want to have in reality from anime/manga/games??)
Rule of Cool physics. It makes everything from bullet-time to space whales to time-travelling trains possible.

◆アナタが最も萌えを感じるものは何ですか?
(What makes you feel "MOE" the most?) I don't know. I get thrilled the most when a character gets that me-standing-up-against-the-world moment, if it counts.

◆このバトンを回す人五人
(Five people who you pass this baton to.)

As for fandom, I realize that all my current ones are brimming with either fear or discontent. The Bleach fans are in for a horrifying chapter. The last Vinland Saga release was epic. Watchmen fans are divided over the movie. Order of the Stick is on a really freaky arc. It's pretty hard to not get distracted.

Funny you mentioned Parasite Eve... Did you know there's a PE3 coming out for the PSP? (because I didn't!!)

[identity profile] giethe.livejournal.com 2009-03-14 03:35 am (UTC)(link)
D: I might have heard of it. But the last time I encountered it was when Time reviewed the translation of the original Parasite Eve novel in English. -_- Getting a job can't come soon enough! I need money!!! Damn you PSP!!

... That was supposed to be a reply to the post and not to Jo XD

[identity profile] giethe.livejournal.com 2009-03-14 03:33 am (UTC)(link)
Hmmm, I did consider him, but he's somewhere on the same level of Ouji (Level E), wherein he's my fave character IN the manga, but outside of it he ranks pretty low. Besides, he's got you other fans to give him enough love. :D

I was talking with blotty in the animesuki forums, and she told me she has a friend {that is you, lulz} that happens to like the same pairings i do? Ichihime {God, this couple is so underrated} and KallenxLelouch? That is nice, just felt like saying it. Good choices on the charas/rankings, btw. 8D {And yeah, Tifa is awesome.}

new friends are welcome :D

Hmmm, she mentioned you, and if we DO have the same interests, may I friend you?! Yes, I love IchiHime and have been shipping it for years. Let me bribe you with my fanart from three years ago:

I think I may have run into your comments a couple of times in LJ before.

Re: new friends are welcome :D

She has mentioned me? Blotty? Wow, quite an honor. 8D
Sure thing, blotty's buddies, are my buddies. {i mean, she is a nice person, so chances you will be ass are very limited. //lame joke}

And can i just say "FUCK YEAH" for this epic fanart? Woah, really, it is great. I love the simplicity yet, elegance it does embody. Great work ~

p.s yeah, i am popular like this...NOT. lol
And sure x 2, i'll be more than glad to friend you, Ichihime buddies, we all need to become one huge punch. 8)
