Favorite author?
Original or adaptation?
Favorite bizarre hair color?
Longest series you've watched?
Longest series you've read?
Favorite battle?


My answers:
Favorite current anime? Ore Monogatari's definitely really high, though World Trigger is something I'm partial to with it's Attack on Titan vibe with significant tweaks to make it stand out.
Favorite current manga? Monster Musume is the most recent one I've caught up to and I like the story in spite of the strong fanservice tones, so that's probably the one for now, albeit I have a lot of time invested into Bleach, probably the longest running series I'm reading and am certain of having read everything (I am guilty of skipping a lot of One Piece and then starting up around Thriller Bark)
Favorite overall anime finished? Hard to pick: Sanzoku no Musume Ronja by Studio Ghibli was very enjoyable and simple
Least favorite overall anime finished? Kampfer
Favorite overall manga finished? Riki Oh (I practically binged 2-3 volumes at a time, it was so engrossing)
Least favorite overall manga finished? Shinigami sama ni Saigo no Onegai wo (Last Request to Death God) <Terrible ending with regard to the mystery and all, so I cannot recommend it>
Favorite genre? Supernatural
Favorite studio (if any)? P.A. Staff is pretty good
Favorite author? Yuki Tabata (He did Hungry Joker before he started Black Clover, both great manga)
Original or adaptation? Original at least is simpler to an extent, but it can have its own issues, but it's easier to criticize than referring to prior source material, which is hard to adapt as faithfully as some want
Favorite bizarre hair color? Silver or white
Longest series you've watched? Monster Rancher at 73 (I honestly can't believe I watched them all, though I think I was watching them dubbed, since I couldn't find subbed, so that might've made it easier) Still want to watch Dragon Ball in full, that'd easily be my longest unless I also watch Sailor Moon, although the former is still technically longer overall at 300+, while Bishoujo Senshi SM has only about 200, 160 if you take out fillers
Longest series you've read? Naruto is iffy, since I feel like I skipped about...5 volumes in the Chuunin exam (though I'm skeptical I've actually read everything instead of skipping over some of it by reading about it) but if it's something I'm certain of, it'd be a tie between Nurarihyon no Mago and Soul Eater
Favorite battle? Probably Mayuri versus Szayelaporro in Bleach, if you couldn't tell from the quote from that battle that I have as my signature; heck any of his fights are cool, including one that's likely coming up in the current manga arc.

Kenpachi versus Unohana in Bleach, or most of his fights overall, like against Ichigo initially or against Nnoitra are also cool, as well as many fights with Byakuya. I also Shikamaru's squad and Kakashi versus Kakuzu and Hidan in Naruto as well as Shin versus Bunshichi in Tenjou Tenge, even if it was sort of short lived. I can't count Bunshichi when he punched a car and sent it flying behind him.

Favorite current anime? - Current, as is in new this season, is Charlotte probably. Although there are many that came out previously, and are still airing, that I enjoy
Favorite current manga? - Don't read manga
Favorite overall anime finished? - Nabari No Ou, K, and Tenchi Muyo are probably top 3
Least favorite overall anime finished? - This is hard to answer because I typically stop watching a show if I don't care for it. Maybe Baka and Test?
Favorite overall manga finished? - Don't read manga
Least favorite overall manga finished? - Don't read manga
Favorite genre? - I typically prefer fantasy, but like some mecha or slice of life, too
Favorite studio (if any)? - Don't have one. Studio Ghibli makes some good movies though.
Favorite author? - None
Original or adaptation? - I am not sure how to answer this one
Favorite bizarre hair color? - Blue, I guess?
Longest series you've watched? - If you count Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden, I would guess that. If not, probably Fairy Tail.
Longest series you've read? - Don't read manga
Favorite battle? - This probably isn't my favorite, but its what comes to mind. I thought the battle between the red, blue, and green kings in "K - Missing Kings" was pretty cool. However, that is one of the more recent things I have watched, so there are probably a lot of cooler ones that are just not coming to mind right now.

Charlotte does seem pretty nice: seems like they're not entirely explaining the limits of the powers, since that's part of the appeal: the teleport guy can't control where he lands, for example

Baka and Test had a 2nd season, I think, though I haven't seen it at all.

Ghibli did a good TV series: Robber's Daughter Ronja, it was really fun to watch.

Do you like series that are original concepts or adapted from a previous source?

Never watched Fairy Tail, but heard it's really good adaptation of the manga, which I've read from the start (had to power through a lot of volumes initially)

Hard to find a moderately sized version of the movie: do want to watch it, though I powered through Utawarerumono a 2nd time to refresh myself for the new series coming in the fall

Not sure if I really have a preference between original or adaptation.

I think there is going to be more than meets the eye with Charlotte. I think it may end up that they are all working for the institution that experimented on the main girl's brother. That they are all rounding up people with abilities in a central location for this organization to experiment on.

There are a fair amount of decent shows on this summer. I am excited for the new K series this fall though.

I think Charlotte is somewhat original, though I've heard the director also wrote the script for this. I don't think there's previous material for Charlotte, strictly speaking, unlike games that have, say, a visual novel even, preceding them.

I wonder what Charlotte is referring to: my first thought is the comet that the main male lead's sister was following at teh end of episode...3?

Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure where the name came from

Initially one would think it'd be the main female character, but at this point, the meteor seems the most likely candidate.

Don't recall if you were watching Rokka no Yuusha: they've finally brought up the 7 characters and one is a traitor, though supposedly it's still not known even in the manga or light novel

Yes, I am watching Rokka no Yuusha. I think its really good so far. Is the manga far ahead of the show? If so, that means we probably won't know who the traitor is for a while. I feel like they have to do something a little less obvious than what most would expect. I wonder if they will pull something like the traitor doesn't even know he or she isn't a real brave.

Light novel is the earliest and that's been around for....4 years, manga about 3, the publication schedule is seemingly monthly, so it's slow in pacing at times, it would seem.

There's one brave that has a dark past, but they're apparently not the traitor. People suspect it's the princess, maybe there are hints in the light novel. It'd be the least expected, practically

I was guessing the princess. However, I feel like Goldof could be faking as a means to earn the princess' affection/attention. However, they haven't introduced several of the other characters, so I could be totally off.

Not sure what battle you're referring to in Missing Kings: just watched it last night (even though I realized about 10 minutes in that I clearly missed a lot of content from K Project, which I now need to watch). The Blue King didn't seem to really fight much until the end, unless that's what you're referring to. But it was sort of short lived: I liked the fight between Kuro and Mishakuji, though they had a few. Many other fights didn't last long enough. Neko and the Green King fighting was hilarious.

Favorite current anime?
Currently watching Sailor Moon Crystal and I like the story much better than the 1995 Sailor Moon, however, I still like the art style from that time rather than the rubbery look of the new one...

Favorite current manga?
Sad to say that I am not reading any right now. Just haven't found anything of interest yet.

Favorite overall anime finished?
Sword Art Online, both seasons!

Least favorite overall anime finished?
Nothing to list here probably because I just don't give a thought to anime I don't like and move on. There's tons of anime to choose from.

Favorite overall manga finished?
Wow, lots. Too many titles to remember.

Least favorite overall manga finished?
Same as the above answer.

Favorite genre?

I'm pretty open to whatever, as long as it pulls me in the story.

Favorite studio (if any)?
Favorite author?
Yuu Watase.

Favorite bizarre hair color?
I don't know why, but pink hair can look awesome!

Longest series you've watched?
Dragon Ball into Dragon Ball Z.

Favorite battle?
There's a few I can remember that stood out. A few from DBZ, Fairy Tale.
I especially like the verbal battles. Some are so well scripted!

SMC's story can be said to be simpler, but perhaps too much relative to the original series, where they adapted it in a way that expanded on the other scouts more than the manga, which seems to focus primarily on Usagi and Mamoru as characters, the others being pure support roles.

Pink hair doesn't have an entirely consistent trait to it: Natsu from Fairy Tail has it, but so does Szayelaporro from Bleach: personalities couldn't be more different. Then again, is there a shared trait for most hair colors that are bizarre in anime/manga?

But it was sort of short lived: I liked the fight between Kuro and Mishakuji, though they had a few. Many other fights didn't last long enough. Neko and the Green King fighting was hilarious.

It wasn't a long fight by any means. I just liked how one-sided it was in some respects. When the red king awakened and decimated the green soldier. Then it was the red versus the green king and just when you think the green is going to overpower the red, blue steps in and wins the battle with one move. I know its not very traditional, but I like to see characters I like come in and completely overpower their opponent. I also tend to like battles with flashy abilities, as opposed to hand to hand combat. :)

Also, I know there are probably tons of battles I would like better. However, that was one of the most recent things I watched, so it was the first to come to mind. I have a hard time picking a favorite anything, and typically the last thing I have experience is the favorite of the moment. This applies to movies, music, etc.

If anything, I feel like I'd have the same reaction you did had I watched K Project beforehand. Blue King's voice actor, Tomokazu Sugita, sounded familiar to me: he does Kyon in Haruhi and Gintoki in Gintama, though I mostly associated his voice with Karasuma from Assassin Class.

When the Blue King stops the Green Clansmen ninja from getting away, it was pretty cool, since he had all kinds of skill with those daggers
