Day 28 – Favorite pokemon
Booooo. Pokemon is for suckers. Digimon is where it’s at, man.
So, I choose you, Pikachu! Angemon, though all of the digimon from the first season are pretty badass.
(Even I will admit, however, that the way the English version translated “Erabareshi Kodomotachi”—literally, “Chosen Children”—is fucking moronic.)

Day 27 – Favorite anime opening theme song
Oh, jesus. I think I have to give my top five because, seriously, just one? I’m probably showing my age here, but in no particular order:
Samurai Champloo‘s “Battlecry”
Evangelion‘s “Zankoku na Tenshi no Te-ze” (“Thesis of a Cruel Angel”)
Escaflowne‘s “Yakusoku wa Iranai” (“No Need for Promises”)
Vision of escaflowne opening
Trigun‘s “H.T.”
Kaleido Star‘s “TAKE IT SHAKE IT”

Day 26 – Your favorite harem anime
Uuuuuuugh harem animes were just never my thing. At all. I suffered through Ah! Megami-sama in high school for a friend and later Tenchi Muyo and uuuuuuugh just kill me now.
Still, I have liked a couple harem animes. Though I liked Fruits Basket and Ouran Koukou Host Club, I think I’m going to have to go with Gakuen Heaven on this one.

Day 25 – Best anime villain
I tend to like villains who are complicated and their villainy stems from necessity or righteous anger or something that started out good and was twisted as their story progressed. As there are so many types of villains, I’m finding it hard to dig through all the animes I’ve watched and find one with a villain that stands out among the others. I also tend to like “evil twin” type villains, especially when the hero/ine and the villain are actually the same person.
I think, perhaps, Hollow Ichigo.

Day 24 – Favorite anime hero or heroine
Hero: Edward Elric, the Fullmetal Alchemist, because his entire life goal is to get his brother‘s life back for him.
Heroine: Diana from Fencer of Minerva because she knows herself and even though she struggles (and other people struggle with her), she manages to keep hold of her identity in the face of adversity.

Day 23 – Anime you think had the best, or most intriguing art
“The best art” is totally up for grabs, especially since every studio has a different art style and every viewer has a personal preference, but the “most intriguing art” definitely goes to Shoujo Kakumei Utena.
