It's Meme Day 'Round These Parts, It Seems...

Well, Don's doing it, and Steven's doing it, and I've got nothing better to blog about today, so here goes:

• What anime are you watching now? 
Multiple that are airing in Japan.  If you mean, "what anime that's been released in the US am I watching," then I'd have to say Please Twins.  I picked up the thinpack boxset a month ago, and only now have I gotten around to watching it.  Oh, and it's not a 'secret shame' anymore; it really is pretty good.

• What is your favourite time to watch?
Night-time, generally around about 10pm-ish, more or less.

• And your favourite place?
In front of my computer for fansubs, on the couch for DVDs, though the wing chair is common, too.

• Who is your favourite auteur?
None.  I don't do auteurs, I do shows.

• Your favourite OST?
Probably Kanon, though the soundtracks for Bubblegum Crisis 2040 and Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex would be right up there.

• What is the most difficult anime you’ve ever watched?
Eiken.  Oh, different "difficult," sorry.  The two Ghost In The Shell movies.  Thought-provoking stuff, and not particularly accessable.  Or you could just watch them for the pretty pictures, your call.

• What was the first anime you remember watching?
Ranma 1/2, followed by the OVA for Oh My Goddess.  1996 or so.  Get off my lawn.

• Do you have a comfort show that you re-watch?
ARIA comes the closest.  I've watched ep09 of ARIA the Origination more times than I can count.

• What is the most erotic anime you’ve watched?
Nothing, really.  I don't watch hentai, so that takes out a lot of it. 

• Which classic should you have watched?
I've been told that Haibane Renmei is fairly good.

• Which series did you never want to end?
ARIA.  They could make another 200 episodes about the gondola girls of Aqua and I'd watch 'em all.  I wanted a few more episodes of Azumanga Daioh, too, but mostly because I wanted to see what happened to the characters when they went into their first year of college, not because I wanted the show to go on forever.

• What is your most overrated anime?
Today, tomorrow and forever: Naruto.  Why that piece of drek is so popular is entirely beyond me. 

• Which character could you have an affair with?
Like Steven says, "you're joking, right?"  Right?

• Who is your favourite character?
Alice Carroll, from ARIA.  Followed closely by Mai Kawasumi from Kanon.

• Which character do you most dislike?
Saji Genpou from the Ikkitousen series of shows. 

• Which character do you identify with most?
I don't know that I identify with a character in any anime.  That's probably a good thing, all things considered.

• Which anime changed your life?
Ranma 1/2.  Not because it is anything particularly special, per se,  but it was the show that introduced me to this medium that I enjoy so much.
