Top Ten Questions to Ask Anime Fans

The Top Ten
1 What's Your Favorite Anime Series?

You know, I don't really like amine, but I loved Naruto Shippuden, Naruto, Sonic X, and Serial Expiraments. I also kind of like Azumanga Daioh and Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. That's about it, though.

My personal favorite series is HunterxHunter. It was recommended to me when I was younger and it develops so well with amazing characters and plot. It has action and realism because the antagonists aren't constantly obsessing over Gon and Killu.(Maybe cheeky clown guy) It's a show that makes me cry for even my most hated character in that show (Cheeky clown guy). There isn't too much fanservice (Other than cheeky clown guy) and all of the characters at interesting and strangely relatable or likeable (Excluding cheeky clown guy). Overall this is a great show with a lot of happy adventures, sad people, and cheeky clowns.

Dragon Ball Z has got to be my first and favourite anime series of all time. My brother showed me the manga when I was just 4-6, and I've been obsessed with it ever since. It's exciting, dynamic, electrifying and thrilling, with marvellous fight scenes and loveable, interesting as well as unique characters. It is part of mine, and many others', childhood, and Goku will forever be one of my best and most important friends, who taught me many lessons in life.

2 What Got You Interested In Anime?

In middle school I saw one of my friends reading a "picture book" it was what I called it back then. It was a graphic novel of vampire kisses! I ask her where she got the book from and she told me it was at the library! I check out a few books and I started to get into it and I also start buying the books at goodwill since the were cheap to get it! I read a lot of manga and I didn't notice there was a anime until I came across it on YouTube like "The best top 10 Kisses in anime"! They were all good and came along Inuyasha! I watch My first anime and finished the series in 3 nights!

I had a few friends that were into anime and I became interested. In 8th grade, my older brother finally let me have his Netflix password, so I realized that I could watch anime on there. I don't know which anime I watched first, either Attack On Titan, or Ouran High School Host Club. Followed by other animes such as Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Soul Eater, and Fairy Tail. Then I found out about this other website that you could watch anime on called AnimeStick. I highly recommend it.

3 Which Anime Series Would You Most Recommend?

Eureka 7, Fullmetal Panic, Death Note, Naruto, Ouran High Scool Host Club, Fruits Basket, Haikyuu, Lovely Complex, DBZ, My Little Monster, Toradora, Buso Renkin and Samurai Champloo. These are animes that I've enjoyed and would recommend either to someone who wants to start watching anime or just looking for something different to watch. I like a lot of genres and diversity. It all depends on what kind of genre the person is looking for.

Inuyasha. Hands down! A great first anime for anyone to watch! I would also recommend Fairy Tail. But, since Inuyasha is finished already. It makes more sense for them to watch it first.

Sooo many! I'll recommend three topics and three animes from those topics.
Action: Soul Eater, Code Geass, Fullmetal Alchemist, etc.
Romance: Maid-Sama, Kamisama Kiss, Ouran Highschool Host Club etc.
Drama: Death Note, Clannad, Tsuritama, etc.

4 Who's Your Favorite Anime Character?

This question is always so difficult because I can never choose just one. Gaara (Naruto), Vegeta (DBZ), L (Deathnote), Sosuke Sagara (Full Metal Panic), Sesshomaru (Inuyasha), Byakuya and Rukia (Bleach). I have more but if I listed all my favorites I'd be on here for hours.

Luffy from One Piece. He's so adorable and badass at the same time. I haven't seen anyone who has watched One Piece that hates Luffy.

Konata Izumi from Lucky Star. I could relate most to her since I watch anime and play video games just like she does.

5 What Was the First Anime You Ever Watched?

Kirby: Right Back at Ya. Even though F-Zero: GP Legend is my first one that is English subbed.

Pokemon was the first anime I ever saw.

My first anime was Angel Beats, and I loved it.

6 Who's Your Favorite Female Anime Character?

Nico Robin! The nicest and kindest woman in One Piece. So intelligent, strong and gorgeous. Perfection!

Akame from akame vs kill is pretty cool because of murasame her sword which it if cuts you puts poison in your blood.

Mirajane Strauss (Fairy Tail). She's so adorable, but at the same time, she's scary.

7 Which Anime Would You Most Want to Be Turned Into a Movie?

Fullmetal Alchemist its just begging to be made into a movie and who knows if directed right could be the next best picture.

I think the Love Live franchise would translate pretty well into live-action.

None of them because anime movies are cancerous.

8 Which Anime Series Do You Favor the Least?

Death note!
Please don't kill me Internet!
I just can't even bring myself to pay attention.
But opinions are a thing and thus mine shall end...

Currently, Cross Ange: Rondo of Angel and Dragon but Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha ViVid is getting pretty close from what I've watched of it so far.

Fullmetal Alchemist. It's just so bad. The plot, characters, and animation is just awful.

9 Which Anime Character Is Your Least Favorite?

The characters I like the least are Sakura (Naruto), Goku (DBZ), Sae (Peach Girl), and Orihime (Bleach). Sakura basically revolves around Sasuke's character and she is useless the whole first half of the series. You finally see her actually getting stronger then she gets sidelined as a support healer and does nothing until she fails at supporting the leads..again. At the end her character growth is completely negated because she's back to "kyaa-ing" over Sasuke. I don't think the writer of Naruto knew what to do with female characters so he just made them revolve around boys. Then 2nd on my list is Goku. I just don't like him. He seems disingenuous. He eats and fights and gets tricked into marrying a wife that's a shrew. He let's villain's get stronger so he can fight stronger opponents but then this leads to problems like the almost destruction of Earth or the death of his friends. He also cares little for his family as he often abandons them to train and his family is so poor I wonder how they survive when Goku barely contributes to them money-wise. My 3rd disliked character is Sae. She is just all around unlikable. She literally has no redeeming qualities and is basically there to make the lead girl's life torture. Right to the end Sae is just trash and I can't stand her. Lastly, Orihime from Bleach because her inability to defend herself or contribute helpfully is minimal. If I had a dollar for every time I've heard her say "Kurasaki-kun" I'd be rich. I dislike female characters who act like doormats. She's like a stalker and obsesses over Ichigo but since she has big boobs and is a pretty girl that's ok? because if she were a boy and acted like that she would be getting called out for it by other characters or getting slapped by the lead girl for being a pervert. She's only included at the beginning as a fan service character. I have no idea why someone so unpopular with fans stayed on for the entire series or got the ending she did. Why did she get to live... more

10 Why Do You Get Offended If Someone Doesn't Like Anime?

I don't get offended if someone doesn't share the same opinion as me. If that person says I'm stupid or lame for liking what I like I might get a little offended. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but you don't need to be hurtful towards others just because they like or dislike something that you don't agree with. It's fine if they say they think a certain thing is dumb to them but they don't need to make it personal by calling the person that likes it dumb. There's a sliver of difference between the two responses. One is bashing a thing (anime) that isn't sentient and the other is bashing an actual person that has feelings. So yeah..go ahead and not like anime because that's your choice. I don't particularly care and I don't like it when people try to force something on me so I wouldn't try to force something on someone else. If you want to give it a try, great. If you don't then that's fine too. Just as long as you keep a civil tongue I could care less.

11 What Can Be Found In Anime That You Can't Get from Cartoons?

I think animes are more well done on a lot of aspects than cartoons. The story, the characters, the theme songs, and the character designs(sorry, but just take a look at the Character designs in Sanjay and Craig, Breadwinners, and Clarence. They chose the cheapest hairstyle models, the plainest outfits, and bad colour schemes)

There are animes that I like and there are ones that I dislike. Same thing can be said for the cartoons. At least in my opinion.

"Emotional attachment to the characters and the series as a whole."
You can get that from ANY show as long as you like it enough.
Otakus..

12 Why Don't You Go Outside For A While?

Because there's no internet connection for us to see our almighty deity, Anime!
Plus it gets really cold in England!

I go outside because it isn't socially acceptable to stay inside.

I prefer indoor watching/reading anime/manga in my room!

13 What Is Your Favorite Anime Crossover?

Shingeki no Kyojin and FullMetal Alchemist to watch Edward murder Eren for his height and ability to regenerate limbs.

I would like to see a SNK 7 deadly sins crossover just for the purposes of watching the scouts chase envy around.

14 What is Your Favorite Anime Out of the Forbidden Four?

One Piece. It has the best story, so many mysteries and dark moments. It can make you cry and laugh at the same time. Truly work of a God

Dragon Ball Z always. Naruto and Bleach is good too, and I hate One Piece ( no offense ).

Ugh. I mean.. Naruto is.. No not Naruto.. Oh god.. Screw it! I hate them all!

15 What Anime Couple Do You Hate?

Luffy and Nami. They have no romantic moments, they're just a fantasy of some fangirls. And as a Luffy fan I think Luffy deserves a better girl, the one who respects him and doesn't abuse him. Maybe Boa or Vivi.

Aki and Sora, Kirito and Suguha, Misa and Light and Sakura and Sasuke. There's more but those are just a few.

Sasuke/Sakura: Because Sasuke tried to KILL Sakura more than once and it had no development

16 What Do You Think of Yaoi/Yuri Anime?

I guess I respect them, but I'll never watch them. Not to sound like a religious fanatic but as a Christian I believe homosexuality to be a sin. Also, I think yaoi/yuri ships simply do not make sense if yaoi/yuri is not the focus of the series.

I've seen it but it's not a genre I would recommend to casual fans. Even I only watch it on occasions. It's not because I'm homophobic. It's because they're pretty generic.

I like both but I don't like the sexy type. Mostly just the cute type. No pedophilia. No incest. Just 2 people who genuinely love eachother.

17 Is Anime a Cartoon?

Technically, yes because anime is Japanese for any kind of animation (including western cartoons like Tom and Jerry).

No. Anime are from Japan. Cartoons are from America.

18 Why Do You Think it is Better Than Western Animation?

I like Western Animation but anime has more appealing style and is usually detailed very well. I can only think of a couple of different anime that had horrible art style. I can think of plenty of cartoons with bad animation though.

I think that western animation and anime can both be good or bad and this comparison is case sensitive, but I find that I prefer the detailed art style and plots of anime and.. Western animations'.. fart jokes?

I love both. I would not love anime so much if it wasn't for western animation. Teen Titans was anime inspired and it was my first love.

19 If You are in an Anime What Power Do You Want to Get?

I want either cool puella magi powers(don't judge me. I mean the guns, the swords and bows),geass, or a death note. I don't want to have the code though. Because I learned from Code Geass, that even immortality sounds cool, It actually sucks(look at poor C.C. who said that she has been alone for a very long time until Lelouch said that she's not alone, because If she's a "witch" then he is a warlock. Which means that he will stay by her side forever)

Honestly? I want the power to turn my torso into a ball. If cheeky clowns can do it I can too right?

20 What Anime Do You Think Would Make A Great Game?

The Precure franchise, Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha StrikerS (the 2 Japanese-only PSP games years ago don't count as they were based on A's), and ViViD Strike! would make good fighting games.

Hunter x Hunter. An action adventure game of it for the PS5 PC and Nintendo Switch would be a big dream for me.

My hero academia

21 What anime world would you want to live in?
22 Is Piracy Killing or Helping the Anime Industry?

I don't know what to say. It helps it by providing access to content not legally available in certain countries, as well as providing shows or films that are either on no legal sites or on services you don't already have. But at the same time, it doesn't give credit to the anime industry.

Complex to explain

23 Why Do You Like Anime?

Why does anyone like anything? For many reasons.. the artwork, the stories, the characters. It's not just because it's anime. If I can connect with any story or character then I find worth in watching or reading something. Why should I limit myself?

Because half the time it's heart wrenching and keeps me hooked in for more and the other half is pure adorableness. Notice how I said "half" Sorry, I had to make that dead Marco joke.

Character designs, scenes that make you FEEL something, awesome fight scenes...

24 Did You Know That Justin Bieber Hate Anime?

Did you know that I hate Justin Bieber? Not because he hates anime, but because he said "rape was for a reason" and he spat on his fans, and has done so many awful things. He is NOT a role model.

He has done more bad things, hating anime is not a big deal, at least not anymore.

I heard that was a rumor but if it's true...I wouldn't care.

25 What Do You Think of People Saying Every Anime Is Always Gratifying Woman Sexually?

That's not true. Only hentais do(and some harems). In anime, female leads are varied by persona. Some are damsel in distress, some are hot heads, some are girly girls, and some are very cool and badass(not considered as swearing). Example of the cool anime female leads, Saber from fate/zero or Kuchiki Rukia from Bleach. Plus, anime is about girls are used for masturbating material towards grown up men? Who would even think of that? That sounds gross

I think that anime does portray women badly. I won't deny it. But I think that there are many anime's out there that aren't bad. Just as there are bad portrayals of women in anime, there are good ones too. I think they are entitled to their opinions even if I don't see it as an issue.

Excuse me? Has anyone ever read Marvel comics? Or DC? Just look up Black Widow or Wonder woman or any other comic girl...

Comic books definitely beat anime in oversexualization of women!
