The Aniblogger Interrogation Game~!

Artist: 柊蒼恋

Hisashiburi~!! I am back from my long trip. Unfortunately, I couldn't find the time to blog for it was hard enough to get my hands on an internet connection just for the sake of watching Kuroko no Basket - which is really good btw. But what better way to warm up my blogging skills than with a carnival post. :) This time, one which was started by Iso from Nabe!!

You probably already know this game, but here are the rules anyway!!:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Each person is supposed to follow the rule of fives. You are allowed to ask 5 questions, after which you can tag up to 5 bloggers by hyper-linking to their blog; 5 questions because it’s not too many to flood another blogger and occupy too much of his/her time, but yet a large enough number to ask your most important questions, and 5 bloggers to avoid spamming. Hence, prioritize your questions, and who you wish to ask!

Those tagged are obliged to answer the questions in a blog post, and after which, they are entitled to create their own 5 questions and tag 5 other bloggers, so on and so fourth. You should answer your own 5 questions as well. You are allowed to tag the person that tagged you in the first place. Also, copy and paste this section on your blog so others can understand how the game goes.

In the case where a blogger strongly refuses to answer a question, he/she must instead post a nice anime image, wallpaper or cosplay picture, et cetera in response to that question.

To make things interesting, a blogger can include wildcards in his/her 5 questions by placing an asterisk, (*), after which those tagged are obliged to reveal something interesting about themselves that others did not previously know. There is no limit to the number of asterisks one can place (which means there can be up to 5 wildcard questions).

Anyone can feel free to start the game; you don’t necessarily need someone to tag you. Just create your 5 questions and tag your 5 people of choice. However, the catch is that you must answer your own 5 questions as well.

To potentially prevent an endless game, this round of games will end on the 8th of September 2012, 12pm JST (GMT +9). After which, no more bloggers can tag others to answer their questions.

I suppose I am obliged lol . . .

This is my response to -blacksheep from the Blacksheep Project:

1. What anime/manga has made an impact to your life?

It's hard to say, although, Angel Beats! is an anime that has really inspired me and changed my outlook on life itself. I have really tried to not take things for granted since then.

2. Setting aside the story/plot/synopsis, what's the next thing you consider in choosing an anime to watch?

Probably the production studio. If it happens to be produced by a studio that is responsible for any other anime favorites of mine then it may increase its chances of me watching it. From there I would move on to the anime genre.

3. Who is the anime character that resembles you the most in terms of personality?

The only character that pops into my mind right now is Akiyama, Mio from K-On! Out of all her group of friends, she tends to show the most maturity. I regret to inform you about my sense of maturity around my crazy friends. Like her, I am also shy and hate the lime-light, but probably not as much as she does. Scary stories are not my favorite things and, like her, I can be surprisingly girly. Yeah.

4. Do you buy anime merchandise (figures, BDs, OSTs, etc)?

Of course. Although, it is something that I started doing pretty recently. I mostly hold a collection of manga, BDs and artwork right now, but I would love to get my hands on a cute nendoroid. :)

5. What anime/manga made you an anime/manga enthusiast (not necessarily have to be your first anime)?

Well, Dragon Ball Z and Bleach really got me into anime and my continuous anime viewing, but Bleach alone is what really got me into manga.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

And now, here are my 5 questions and answers for: Façade, paperfl0wers, and Rei.

1. What is it that led you to become an aniblogger?

Well, on my search for the latest Bleach episodes, I stumbled across a couple of delightful looking blogs and the rest is history.

2. How many times can you recall where an anime or anime scene made you think "WTF"?

There are two times that I remember clearly. One was from the anime Another, when Sakakibara daydreamed about dancing with Misaki in the middle of class. That was a huge NO for me, and the other was from Puni Puni Poemi as Poemi slides off a rainbow lol. That show is funny though. Watch it.

3. If you could be an anime/manga character, who would it be?

I think I would be Goku from DBZ. :P  I don't care that he's a man. Yeah, there isn't a strong enough girl in that show. RAGE!!

4. Which means of viewing do you prefer, subbed anime or dubbed anime or do you speak Japanese?

Now a days, Japanese dubbed with English subtitles is my preferred method. I don't know, I like the emotion given off from the Japanese seiyuus.

5. Finally, which anime/manga do you consider to be worth someone's time?

Denpa Onna to Seishun Otoko. There is a strong emphasis around its dialogue, story, characters, and animation. I don't necessarily believe it's a great anime, but I don't see how you can go wrong with it either.
