manga/anime survey thing

[naanima]

Taken from baka_neko, c'os I don't wanna do work.

Fave sports-shounen: 'Hajime no Ippo: The Fighting'
Fave fighting-shounen: 'Yu Yu Hakusho', 'cos it was my first love, and I still remember Yusuke's time in the cave getting the power up ^^
Fave "monster"-shounen: Monster? Have to go the baka_neko way, 'Shaman King'.
Fave romance-shoujo: 'Please Save My Earth'
Fave magical girl-shoujo: 'SailorMoon'
Fave shounen-ai: ...... I don't read much shounen ai, it's either yaoi or just slashy subtext.
Fave yaoi: 'Haru wo Daiteita'
Fave shoujo-ai: Does 'Utena' count?
Fave yuri: None.
Fave hentai: 'Hot Tails'
Fave mecha: 'Char's Counter Attack'
Fave epic: 'Houshin Engi'
Fave magic-fantasy: 'Berserk' (though, magic-fantasy sound so tame).
Fave sci-fi: Haven't read any good sci-fi manga.
Fave comedy: 'Full Metal Panic' second series.
Fave horror: 'MPD Psycho'..... I call it horror, you call it sci-fi, some call it thriller, personal classification system, yeah.
Fave war drama: 'Now and Then Here and There'.
Fave western: 'Priest' I'm not sure if it's Japanese or not, I've this sneaky suspicion that it might be Korean.
Fave sentai: 'SHINESMAN'.
Fave fanservice: Hmm. Meaningful looks, or full blown flirting that get interpreted by fangirls in so many different ways.
Fave "samurai"-esque genre: 'Peacemaker' or 'Kenshin', it's hard to decide.
Fave "historical"-esque genre:.... uhh, would 'PeaceMaker' do? I mean it is based on Japanese history... sorta.
Fave mix-genre hybrid "adventure": Like 'HunterxHunter'? Or am I missing something.
Fave "boy band" group non-genre:... this sort of breaks the mind... though I have always wanted to see the male cast of 'Utena' get involved in a boy band ^^;;
Fave GAINAX:'Blazing Transfer Student'
Fave Miyazaki: 'Whisper of the Heart'... though I'm not sure if it's a strictly Miyazaki film or a 'Studio Ghibili' film.

Re: Whisper of the Heart
As I recall... The script was written by Miyazaki and it was produced by him, but he didn't actually direct it. So... boderline Miyazaki, I guess. Definitely Ghibli.

And I think Escaflowne would fit the 'Fave mix-genre hybrid "adventure"' category. I'd put HxH under "fighting anime". Just randomly. *g*

Thanks.

Anf yes! Esca is defintely a mix... actually Bebop is probably more so.

HxH just can't be fighting for me. Have seen too many fighting to put HxH under it, so, adventure it is.

...Utena boyband. Hoboy. Miki's obviously rocking the keyboards, I suppose.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Definitely, and I still can't decide who ends up being default ManSlut for the band. It's really hard to decide between Touga and Akio. They pull it off so well. Saionji is so punk!boy, and Mikage is too screwed up to contemplate.

I swear I've spelt half of their names wrong. It has been too long since I last watched this series.

[pengiesama.livejournal.com]

Akio could be the shadowy manager that has his pick of the groupies. Mikage could be the equally shadowy agent of Mamiya--and Mamiya (and Miki, of course) is the cute member that you want to take home and set upon a bookshelf.

[naanima.livejournal.com]

Yes, Akio is defnitely shadowy manager with ulterior motive. As for Mamiya..... the fact that he -is- Anthy scares me, and I've to admit the boy creeped me, so I think I'll just go and huggle Miki, and try and avoid his psychotic stalker twin sister.

nyah!

Hmmm I would do that survey cept I think all my answers would be yuppi-fied. ^^;;; Plus the fact that I can't recall all the manga titles (in Jap) ^^

Is ok, we know what you are like ^__^

Know what you mean, I just try to memorise it, which takes up way too much brain room, and I need my brain room.
