‘Build A Harem’ Manga Edition

So first of all I just wanted to say I have been blown away by the overwhelmingly positive response to my ‘Build A Harem’ tag, it seems like every single day there’s another blogger’s custom anime harem to look at and I’ve enjoyed reading all of them so much! I’ve also found great new bloggers through this process, which is just the icing on the cake as far as I’m concerned! So thanks again for everyone who’s taken part so far and I look forward to reading the countless more that are still no doubt to come!

But what’s this blog about? Well MangaKast did their version of a harem but as expected by their name they picked characters from manga—“what a good idea” I thought, “I’ve got heaps of best girl’s from manga that haven’t had an anime adaptation”, and because I couldn’t keep my thoughts to myself, I commented something to that effect on their post and MangaKast challenged me to do it, and who am I to pass up the opportunity to talk about cute and sexy girls from manga that I’d want in my harem! But not just that, Karandi of 100WordAnime modified my original rules for picking characters and a lot of others followed suit—and thus I’m going to be going by the modified rules for this post, which if you don’t know is basically just a relaxing of the ‘character type’ rule.

Now on with my harem, let’s just say things are going to get a bit NSFW in here, these manga are all fairly ‘adult’ after all…

The Unemotional Shut-In – Momi from Mononoke Sharing

Momi’s the one on the left…

Momi is a massive breasted Oni who has to milk herself—and apparently her breast milk tastes good(?). I think I’ll pass on invoking a possible Oedipus complex and just settle for nestling between those two beautiful big boobs.

The Perverted Lesbian Serial Killer– Kuroko Koumori from Murcielago

I didn’t even mention what she gets up to with that tongue of hers.

I mean, she’s dangerous, she’s alternative looking, she’s a sucker for cute girls (just like me) and she’s sexy as heck… sure she has zero interest in men and I’ll probably end up getting killed by her but these are the risks you take with the crazy ones… unless I had a big sister to protect me…

The Big-sister who’s also an Eldritch tentacle god – Chiyo (The Black Goat of the Woods With A Thousand Young) – from The Elder Sister Like One

This was probably the least inappropriate picture I found on danbooru from the manga artist.

“Onee-chan!” She’s devoted, caring, kind and the human personification of the Eldritch demon-god Shub-Niggurath! She’s also got tentacles (of course) but I couldn’t possibly think of anything to do with those…

The Troubled Goth Who Hates Everyone and Everything… Except Sex – Spina from How To Build A Dungeon: Book of the Demon King

I think all my picks so far have had one (or two) “big” things in common…

Oh boy, here’s a girl with some emotional baggage, as a youngster her village was attacked and in order to prevent herself from being raped and murdered like the other women she poured boiling oil on her face and body… afterward she gets a magical makeover by the would-be Demon King and channels her energy into the one thing in her life she can take control of absolutely… her sex life.

The Cheeky Plant Girl Trouble Maker – Itsuki from Nurse Hitomi’s Monster Infirmary

My doctor said I should eat more leafy greens…

***

And that’s my manga harem! Obviously since this isn’t a traditional tag post I’m not to tag anyone to do this variant of the post, but hey, if anyone wants to write up a manga-centric harem by all means! Thanks for reading!

The ‘Build A Harem’ Tag

So the idea for this tag is that you are an anime character and you’re the central protagonist of a harem anime. What you have to do for this tag is pick five characters (of any gender) and each one has to fit into a different harem character “type”. The characters you pick have to be from existing anime, but they can each be from any anime you want, this is a fantasy harem after all so it doesn’t matter if in reality these characters would never be in the same show!

The five characters for your harem have to each be one of the following character types:

Childhood friend, tom boy/girl, genki girl/boy, loli/shota, trap, tsundere, yandere, kuudere, dandere, etc.

(and obviously characters can be multiple types; like a Tom Boy who is also a Childhood Friend also if there’s a character type I missed feel free to put one in! Also I realise this list of character types is probably female-centric, so if your list is predominantly or entirely male try and find your gendered equivalent!)

Right, and with that out of the way I’ll proceed with my pick of characters for my ideal harem.

Harem Choice #1: The Kuudere – Isuzu Sento (Amagi Brilliant Park)

She knows how to put me in my place but deep down I know she loves me, and ~damn~ that body it’s like a roller coaster!

Harem Choice #2: The Tomboy/Genki Girl – Hajime Shinoda (New Game)

She’s just so damned hyped about every little geeky thing and it’s what I love about her, also who’d have thought a tom-boy could have such a nice rack!.. What? I have my priorities right?!

Harem Choice #3: The Tsundere – Kirie Motabo (Himouto! Umaru-Chan)

I don’t know if she hates me or loves me, but I know she still pays attention to me and I crave it all the same. Plus this tsun spends more of her time flustered than she does aggressive, I can work with that…

Harem Choice #4: The Dandere/Loli – Kamuri Sengoku (Slow Start)

She’s so small and cute and sweet and shy! But she’s in high-school so it’s totally okay and not creepy at all right? But still… so small! *chin rubs*

Harem Choice #5: The Trap – Felix Argyle (Re:Zero -Starting Life In Another World-)

What a cute girl, what a spritely, free-spirited girl. What an adorable gir— Oh wait, what’s that? Ferris-chan is a what?! Oh I see… hmm, well, I guess there’s nothing wrong with a little bit of ‘meat’ on the menu now and then!

And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed reading this as much as I enjoyed writing it (it was a lot harder than I thought it would be—no pun intended!) What will follow will be the “official rules” that those who want to participate can copy/paste into their own tag post to help spread this round!

The ‘Build A Harem’ Tag Rules:

1. Link back to the original post on Anime QandA so they can check out everyone’s picks!
2. Use the ‘Build A Harem’ logo somewhere in the post.
3. Make sure to mention the person who nominated you too!
4. Pick 5 Anime Characters (any show & any gender) that would be in your ideal harem if you were the main character of a harem anime, explain a little bit as to why they are your picks (if you want).
5. Make sure each character you pick falls into some of the following harem character types: Childhood friend, tom boy/girl, genki girl/boy, loli/shota, trap, tsundere, yandere, kuudere, dandere, etc. (If there’s a character you’ve picked that doesn’t specifically fall into one of these types or falls into multiple types that’s fine too!)
6. Nominate 5 people to participate in this tag!

Now obviously I have to pick my nominees to get the ball rolling, these were kinda easy picks as they are people who I can only assume will have great answers, so you know, no pressure guys! (Of course if you don’t want to participate that’s okay too but let me know in a comment if you don’t so I can pick someone else)

Irina (I Drink And Watch Anime)
Lina (Tiny Ugly Animal)
Karandi (100 Word Anime)
Jenn (Welcome To Hell Zone)
Remy (The Lily Garden)

Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed this new tag of mine, it’s my first time doing one so hopefully it’ll be as much fun for you as it was for me!

2 Neat 2 Curious (Real Neat Blog Award) – Untold Questions

Hey-o! Another award! Two in fact! That’s right, hence the ridiculously lame blog title… this time I was nominated by Aldael and Shaddowcat99!

So what are the rules for this award tag?

1. Display the award logo.

2. Thank the blogger who nominated you and post a link to their blog.

3. Answer their questions.

4. Nominate 5 to 10 bloggers.

5. Ask 7 questions.

Great! So let’s get on with the questions since there’s twice as many this time! Right! First off Aldael’s questions.

• How and when do you usually watch anime?
  Always on the television, through the PS4’s various anime apps (Crunchyroll, AnimeLab, Funimation Now) and usually in the evening. Except on the weekends when it’s usually most of the day and night.
• How many people know about anime being your hobby? How do they react to it?
  I don’t know that many people irl (sad I know right) but I don’t hide it, I’m proud of my geeky hobby. And whenever somebody I don’t know asks about it, I’ll go ahead and tell them that anime is my hobby until their eyes glaze over and they lose interest entirely.
• Which two anime series you would choose to make a crossover of?
  This is a difficult question, so many to pick from! I guess I’ll go for the one that’d make the most interesting show and say a crossover between Steins;Gate and Assassination Classroom, for reasons I won’t get into lest I spoil the latter…
• Which anime portrays food in the tastiest way?
  Probably Food Wars! Gotta love attractive anime girls in close proximity to food, wait that’s not what you meant by ‘tasty’ is it?
• What’s the tastiest vegetable?
  My initial reaction was to say Potato, because I love potatoes (specifically chips) but thinking about potatoes aren’t actually tasty by themselves you usually have to add fats and salt and seasoning to add to the effect. So strictly based on the vegetable itself without adding anything extra, my answer would be a chilli pepper.
• What’s the tallest place you’ve ever been at?
  Landmark Tower in Yokohama, Japan, I actually stayed in a hotel room on the 54th floor—its the second tallest building in Japan.
• You find yourself in a middle of a desert with a lion, a jaguar, a puma and a tiger surrounding you from all the sides. Which way do you go?
  I dig down so they can’t find me and then hopefully wake up from this nightmare!

So that’s one batch of questions down, next lot please! The second lot is a bit different, Shaddowcat was inspired by the questions given to her by Lina and so they are… well you’ll catch on soon enough.

Hats?
I like the idea of hats, but hats don’t like the idea of me. Apparently my head is too big and they just look weird on me. Everyone says so… Oh well!

Dolls?
Like blow-up dolls? That’s where my head went first… but no thank you… I’ll take my dakimakura over those cheap plastic creations any day!

Pyramids?
The first thing I think of is Pyramid Song by Radiohead. One of my favourite non-anime songs of all time.

Birds?
We’ve got a pet bird, it’s a cockatiel named Bella and it’s noisy and hateful.

Dentists?
I actually like the dentists, weird huh? I never used to, I had a super bad experience when I was a teenager where the dentist was actually standing on the chair trying to rip a particularly stubborn tooth out of my mouth. Ever since then whenever I go to the dentist I just kind of think ‘nothing could be as bad as that’ and just kind of mellow out and enjoy all the attention.

Burritos?
I prefer tacos, or nachos, or enchiladas, or taquitos. But they’re okay I guess!

This Video?

I have that exact image on a t-shirt, does that answer your question? 

Well that was different, but good different! Yeah that was a lot of fun, in fact for my set of questions I’m going to do the same, mostly because it’s a lot easier than coming up with original questions, but also because it might be fun for some others to partake! But first the nominees, as always there’s no obligation to participate if you’ve already done it or are too busy or just don’t feel like it!

Slice of Alfredo
KAWAIIPAPERPANDAS
Ayappi’s Room
Biblionyan
The Animanga Spellbook

Cool, and you’re questions? All one word questions, this oughta be fun!
Square?
Lemon?
Vampire?
Minecraft?
Ice?
Disneyland?
Bones?

Suitably vague, terrific. All done then? Yep, thanks everyone for reading and thanks again to Aldael and Shaddowcat99 for the nominations!

The One-Liner Challenge (Anime Edition) – Untold Questions

What’s this, ‘One-Liner Challenge’? Haven’t you done this before? Probably, but it feels like it’s been long-enough, beside this time I’m going to do it about anime instead of last time which I believe was about Books.

Fair enough, so who nominated you? Arthifis! Thanks again for the nomination!

And what are the rules? 

• Accept and thank your challenger(s) by linking back to their post.
• Make a post of one-sentence summaries/roasts of at least five books manga anime games.
• No spoilers!
• Link back to The Awkward Book Blogger so she can see your post.
• Challenge as many or as few people as you want!

Great, so let’s get this show on the road!

Made in Abyss
“Great, now I can’t even ride in an elevator without getting depressed…”

Food Wars!
“If ‘hangry’ is a portmanteau of ‘hungry and angry’ then this show makes me ‘horngry’.”

Valkyrie Drive: Mermaid
“Orgasms turn girls into inanimate objects, not the other way round like it usually is.”

Kiss x Sis
“The phrase ‘family friendly entertainment’ has never been more inappropriate…”

Keijo!!!!!!
“The only sport where the audience works up more of a sweat than the competitors!”

Okay then! Great, so what now? I have to nominate some people, as always, if you’ve done this before or just don’t want to there’s no obligation to do so!
Jenn
WeeaBroDerek
Spookyredhead
And if anyone else wants to do it, just message me and I’ll add your name and we’ll pretend like I nominated you from the start! I hope you enjoyed this post, I certainly had fun coming up with these little roasts! Thanks for reading!

My Reasons Why – Untold Questions

What’s this? Good question, I’ve been selected by the lovely Irina, to participate in a tag created by Kimchisama.

Is it an award? Not as such, a similar format, but this is more of a… reflection. A chance for people to focus on the positives in their life and share them with people in this aniblogging community. Our lives are too often spent dwelling on the negatives, this tag is a perfect way to take stock of everything that makes this life worth living.

Right. So I’m assuming there’s rules? There’s always rules.
1. Mention the person who nominated you.
2. List 13 reasons why you keep going/living (This is borrowed from the book but I’m taking it the opposite direction).
3. Nominate 10 or more people to give their reasons why.
4. Use the picture that I (Kimchisama) created in your post. I’m sorry that I’m a bit bad a making these things… But I tried.

Okay, so how are we going to do this? You’ll pick up quick, just be your usual smarmy self and we’ll get through okay! Also I’m doing this in alphabetical order, makes the most sense this way.

Tch. Fine, so reason number 1? This one’s obvious but Anime & Manga, among my various passions and past times this is the one that brings me the most immediate and pure joy. A day without anime or manga is a day wasted!

And number 2? While relatively new to my life Blogging has proven an immeasurable boon not only to my self-confidence but to just general life happiness. Being able to share the things I love with like-minded individuals and have them respond so kindly is just beyond words.

Number 3? You might not know this about me but I’m a pretty damn good cook, so Cooking is number 3. I do all the cooking in my life and I love cooking for people, its satisfying to be able to make people happy with something that comes so easy to me.

Number 4? This one might seem a bit counter-intuitive since it’s probably doing the opposite for me, but Fast Food, I know it’s bad for me and the only reason I like it so much is because of chemicals and what not screwing with my brain, but then again, isn’t everything we love just the result of chemicals in our brain reacting favourably to input? Anyway that’s my excuse for the “negative” things in this list. *winky face*

Uh-oh, Number 5 then? Chemicals, hey? Aren’t they great, I do love Having a Drink. By which I mean alcohol of course, bourbon is my drink of choice btw.

You know there’s a word for people who need alcohol as a ‘reason to live’. Shut-up. I know my limits, it’s just something I enjoy is all.

Okay then. Number 6? Japan! That’s right the whole damn place, I’ve only been twice, but the most recent trip was so much fun and I love (almost) everything about it that I can’t wait to go back! The people, the food, the public transportation, the city, the country, all of it! Just please, North Korea, don’t do anything silly—leave Japan alone.

Number 7? In general, I think people should just be nicer to one another, doesn’t matter if you don’t agree with someone’s opinions, just be nice. Kindness is something that’s so underrated, whether it’s kindness to and from your friends and family, or the kindness of strangers. We all should show more kindness and I’m always appreciative of when people show kindness to me, especially when it comes from unexpected places or in unexpected ways.

Number 8? Now, I must preface this one by saying I messaged Irina to just inquire whether this one was “appropriate”, she said “I dunno”, so to my followers (especially the more ‘shy’ among you) please forgive me, I promise I won’t go into any detail. I’ll say it and we can move on. Okay, ready? Masturbation. Next!

…*shakes head* Number 9? I love Music, the listening to it, not playing of course, I don’t have a musical bone in my body. Also, I don’t just mean anime music, my musical tastes are varied, running across nearly every genre of music and ranging from music from the late 70’s up until today. It’s always been a cornerstone of my life and I wouldn’t be the same without it.

Number 10? A Sense of Humour is important, at least for me it is. Whether my sense of humour is something that is relatable or even inherently evident is up to the individual, but I love being able to make (some) people laugh, or even just smile. Whether it’s in real life or with my silly blog posts!

Number 11? I have a fiancé, her name is Sharon (often referred to on this blog as the ‘irl waifu’) and she means everything to me. The fact that I get to share my life with her is a treat. I’ll never get tired of and the fact that she puts up with me is a testament to how amazing of a person she is. Things aren’t always easy, but we can work through this life together.

Number 12? I don’t get the chance to be as weird as I’d like to on this blog, some people don’t like Weirdness, and that’s okay. But I love it! Whether it’s in the media I’m consuming or out in the world or within myself, I can’t help but be drawn to weird things!

And finally, number 13? Probably the thing I’m simultaneously most passionate about but least secure in sharing is my Writing, not the reviews but rather creative writing or fiction. I’ve got a lot of it under my belt but very little of it sees the light of day, mostly because I put so much of myself into the writing I worry that if someone judges my work harshly they are—in turn judging me harshly. Writing is an outlet for my creativity and imagination, it helps me work through complicated feelings and it even helped me work through a crippling fear of my own mortality. It’s an invaluable tool and an important part of my life.

Wow, that was certainly an eye-opening experience—for better or worse. Please don’t bring it up again. But yes, I enjoyed this, it’s good to focus on the positives!

So now you have to pick 10 people to do this too? Right, so as with all these types of tags, if you’ve already been tagged or just don’t want to do it no pressure. After all it can be an intimidating thing to do, especially for those who are more private about their lives. That said, these are my picks!
Jenn
Auri
Spooky
Ahogegirl
The Bookworm Drinketh
Nesha
Miyo’s Permanent Record
WeeabrosDerek
thelostvoice
TheAniMessenger

And that’s it then! Thanks for reading this, I hope you enjoyed this or found it enlightening, or just wasn’t too creeped out my Number 8. Also, thanks again to Kimchisama for creating this wonderful tag!

The Unique Blogger Award & The Real Neat Blog Award – Untold Questions

Hey guess what?! What?

You got nominated for an award again! No way!

Guess what? Err, what?

I lied! You got nominated for TWO awards! Man, you guys are the best!

So first is the Unique Blogger Award. I guess that’s the nice way of saying you’re weird… Thanks to Arthifis for the nomination! I’m so unique I got nominated for this twice now!

Don’t let it go to your head! Too late!

So what are the rules?

1. Share the link of the blogger who has shown love to you by nomination you.
2. Answer the questions.
3. In the spirit of sharing love and solidarity with our blogging family, nominate 8-13 people for the same award!
4. Ask them three questions.

Seems straightforward enough! So on with the questions!

Question 1: What kind of show/book/anime/videogame (basically anything from the entertainment industry) are you into right now?

Oh, this is a tough one! I’ve always got my fingers in many pies (to borrow a totally innocent but crude sounding euphemism!) Right now though I’m really into Amanchu! I’m only halfway through the first season but I love it. It’s not my favourite of all time, just what I’m into right now.

Question 2: Is there anything you would change about yourself?

My crippling levels of anxiety! I’m always afraid people have ulterior motives and are out to get me, yay paranoia!

Question 3: If you only could use 3 words to describe your blog which ones would they be?

Blanket Fuck Vampire. Oh? To describe my blog? Um… Anime Question Answer?

I—I—Okay… Moving on… Something on your mind?

“Blanket Fuck Vampire”? What on earth?! It was the first 3 words that came to mind in the moment…

So now nominate some peeps. Right, so I don’t think I’ll be able to nominate as many as the award wants, so I’m just going to nominate people I don’t think I’ve seen awards blogs from(?), and mostly new followers of mine, also as per usual, if you don’t want to participate there’s no obligation!

Sirius
Zboudrie
Kingdylbag

Great, and now you have to be creative and come up with questions to ask them! So much pressure to be funny or good!

Question 1:If you had to get a tattoo of an anime character who would it be and where on your body?

Question 2: If you could do anything as a job and get paid for it, what would it be?

Question 3: Have you ever had an ‘encounter’ with an unexplained or supernatural phenomena? (UFO, ghost, etc.)

Great, and now on to the second award for this post The Real Neat Blog Award! Thank you to Moyatori for the nomination!

And the rules for this award?

1. Display The Award Logo
2. Thank The Blogger Who Nominated You
3. Answer The Questions of The One Who Nominated You
4. Nomination 5-10 Bloggers
5. Ask Them 7 Questions

And what questions did they ask you? Some really dark ones! So prepare yourselves!

1. When you get bored at work or in class, what do you do to pass the time?

Well I’m currently unemployed, but when I was working I’d just peruse Twitter. If I had a lot of time to kill I’d work on whatever novel I was writing, just jotting down ideas on my phone. Mobile phones are the best, aren’t they?

2. What’s your go-to insult?

I’m fond of calling people ‘dingus’ or ‘dangus’ or some variant on it.

3. What song is really relatable to you (at the moment or just in general)?

It’s always ‘Ordinary World’ by Duran Duran.

4. How do you feel about small talk?

Nice weather we’re having, huh? Yeah small talk kinda sucks but I understand the need for it, sometimes it’s better than hearing strangers talk about politics and other triggering conversations.

5. Do you have a recurring nightmare/dream? (The plot doesn’t have to be the same. General themes, formats, feelings?)

I’ve been having chronic nightmares since childhood, they generally change though depending on what’s going on in my real life. Like the worst my real life is the more gentle the nightmares and vice versa. But I’ve consistently had nightmares about being in the last few weeks of high school and not having done any of my final assignments. Either that or plane crashes.

6. When you have a nightmare about being chased, what’s your usual method of escape? (Do you fly/fall/leap/run/freeze? If you fly, I’m especially curious about how flying feels for you)

Funnily enough, despite all my nightmares I don’t ever seem to have the ones about being chased. But to answer that second part I used to have dreams about flying, but it was always uncontrollable, like I’d suddenly start floating and kinda get stuck on the ceiling like a rogue helium balloon, it was fun but pretty useless.

7. Borrowed from my last award post: if you must murder someone, how would you commit the perfect murder?

Compiling tips and tricks, huh? I don’t know to be honest, I really don’t think about these kinds of things. Sorry!

You chickened out with the last answer didn’t you. Shut up.

So who are you nominating? Like the first one, I’m only picking a few, not the amount it said to, also as always no obligation to complete it yourself!

Kay Tea
Iki
Ka Chan

Great, and what are your seven questions you want them to answer. It was hard enough coming up with the three from the first award so I’m going to re-use those three and add four more.

Question 1: If you had to get a tattoo of an anime character who would it be and where on your body?

Question 2: If you could do anything as a job and get paid for it, what would it be?

Question 3: Have you ever had an ‘encounter’ with an unexplained or supernatural phenomena? (UFO, ghost, etc.)

Question 4: Who do you think is the cutest non-human anime character? (Animal/creature/etc.)

Question 5: Where’s your favourite place in your house to relax?

Question 6: What token/piece did you play in Monopoly?

Question 7: What is currently your phone’s wallpaper? (Attach an image if you like otherwise just naming it is fine too.)

Man, hard hitting questions… Quiet! It’s harder than it looks… besides my brain kept coming up with dirty questions and it was distracting!

You’re terrible. Thanks all for reading, I hope you enjoyed my answers and thanks again to Arthifis and Moyatori for the nominations!

One Lovely Blog Award and 50 Followers! – Untold Questions

What’s crackin’? Excuse me?

I’m trying to bring it back… “what’s crackin’?” Please don’t.

Fine, so what’s going on? DING! DING! DING! Announcement! Anime Q and A has hit 50 Followers! Well, 51 as of this morning, but wow! I’m so grateful to all the people who’ve followed, commented and liked my content, it means so much to me!

Congrats! And so I take it there’s more to this post then that an announcement? Indeed! We’ve won another award! The ‘One Lovely Blog Award’!

“Lovely” huh? I never thought I’d see someone describe your site as that but I guess it takes all sorts… Don’t be mean! Keiko’s Anime Blog was lovely enough to nominate me!

Fine, fine… so what are the rules?

1. Share the link of the blogger who has shown love to you by nominating you.
2. Answer the 11 questions they ask.
3. Nominate 11 bloggers for the same award in the spirit of sharing love and solidarity with our blogging family.
4. Ask them 11 questions that you are dying for the answer to!

Geez, 11! So many 11’s. Coincidentally 11 is my favourite number so #themoreyoukno.

So let’s get on with answering these questions! Yes, let’s!

1. Do you share your birthday with one of your favourite anime characters? (If you don’t know, use this link to check. It is in Japanese but its easy to navigate. The green box with the numbers are the months so that’s where you start. The days will appear once you choose your month and then you’ll get a list of characters.)

Nope! I know my birthday is close to a few of my favourites, but no favourites on the actual day.

2. Following on from that, do you share your birthday with a character you dislike?

Well, seems like most of the characters I share a birthday with are from anime I don’t watch or who are boring side characters, so if I had to pick the most disliked out of the bunch it’d be Ishida Keigo from My First Girlfriend is a Gal, very forgettable and boring character.

3. If you could be the protagonist of an anime, what type of protagonist would you be and what would you call yourself?

I’d be a super nice guy at the centre of a harem, and I’d be called Saboten-kun.

4. If you were a pirate, what would you be called?

Arrrgh! I be Cap’n Weeb-beard the Pervy! (Sorry that was terrible…)

5. You have been transported to the times of King Arthur. Who would you be?

Was King Arthur fictional? I know so little about this particular period… um, can I be Merlin? Magic seems pretty OP.

6. Following on from that question, what would your choice of weapon and horse be called?

A magic wand, 10¾” long, made of vine wood, and possessing a dragon heartstring core (NERD) and my horse would be Centorea (PERV).

7. If you were caught outside in a snowstorm, what would you do?

Well I know what I’d do if I was caught in a Sandstorm. *dances*

8. What one thing are you proud to own?

I had to think about this for a long time, because while I own a lot of things I’ve never really thought about being ‘proud’ of any of said things, I mean I like the things I own, but proud? Huh… this kind of gave me the (sad?) realisation that there’s nothing I’m proud of that I own. Nothing physical or tangible at least.

9. What’s the weirdest song you’ve ever heard?

I guess it depends what the individual deems as weird, I like weird stuff so something that’s pretty normal for me might be weird to you. Ummm…

10. Have you ever started watching/reading something and forced yourself to finish it despite it being terrible? If so, what was it?

Well I have a rule about not dropping shows so yes, I’ve watched some pretty bad shows. None of I reviewed on the site before though because I tend to prefer writing about things I like as it makes me happy, but I should probably get around to some more negative reviews lest everyone think I like everything I watch. The worst anime I’ve watched all the way through is ‘Wanna Be The Strongest In The World’.

11. What anime are you planning to watch from the spring season?

My Hero Academia 3, Steins;Gate 0, Tokyo Ghoul:re, Food Wars 3 (part 2), Gun Gale Online, High School DxD Hero, Persona 5 the Animation, Devils Line, Mahou Shoujo Site, The Caligula Effect, Jikken-hin Kazoku: Creatures Family Days, Dorei-ku the Animation, Lostorage Conflated WIXOSS, Mahou Shoujo Ore, Comic Girls, Uma Masume: Pretty Derby, Tachibanakan Triangle, Alice or Alice, Hisone to Maso-tan. Plus some more probably…

Phew! We made it through… wait how many shows are you watching next season?! A lot. At least that’s the plan anyway!

Yikes! Oh wait, that effects me too, doesn’t it! That’s right! More work for you buddy!

Right, so back to the awards post, you have to nominate 11 people now! ‘Kay, so by now I’ve probably nominated everybody I follow for one of these types of awards, so sorry if there’s a double up! Also, there’s no obligation to do this yourself if you don’t have the time!

Okay and now 11 questions! Okay then! Forgive me if these questions are a bit lacking, this has been a long post to write!

1. What’s your favourite thing to drink on a cold Winter’s day?
2. What’s something that you used to love as a child (food, show, anything) that you don’t like now?
3. Where do you watch the majority of your anime? (TV, computer, smart phone)
4. If you could have any item from an anime be real and only you’re allowed to have it, what would it be?
5. Do you collect anything? If so what?
6. If you had to describe yourself in a song lyric (or whole song) what would it be?
7. Do you own any anime figurines? If not, what character would you like to have as an anime figurine?
8. Say something negative about something you love.
9. Say something positive about something you hate.
10. What’s one anime you wish would get another season?
11. You’re having a dream where you’re walking down a path across a field and the path forks off. One path goes into a grove, the other goes into a forest. Do you 1) Go to the grove, 2) Go to the forest, 3) Turn back.

That last question was a little weird… I’ve been reading ‘No Matter How I Look At It It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Not Popular’ and so it got stuck in my head.

Right, well that’s it then, all criteria fulfilled! Yay! Thanks again to Keiko for the nomination and thanks all for reading!

The One-Liner Challenge – Untold Questions

And what do we have here? A challenge post, specifically ‘The One-Liner Challenge’! 

Oh yeah? And what’s all that about? It’s about making snappy one-line summaries of books, and they don’t even have to be books you like, you can roast ‘em too.

Mmm, roast books *drool* N—No, not like that…

I know, I know! So, who nominated you? Ryuji Tatsuya’s Anime Corner! Thanks for picking me!

Cool, and what are the rules for this challenge?

1. Accept and thank your challenger(s) by linking back to their post.
2. Make a post of one-sentence summaries and or roasts of at least five books.
3. No spoilers!
4. Link back to The Awkward Book Blogger so she can see your post.
5. Challenge as many or as little people as you want!
6. Have fun!

Great, let’s get started then. Oh and I assume you’re reviewing just manga since you’re like obsessed with it right now… Don’t be so sure, I might surprise you…

Hmm, okay, first book then?

No Matter How I Look At It, It’s You Guys’ Fault I’m Not Popular (Watamote)
“How not to do high-school in a million easy steps.”

Still waiting to be surprised… Second book?

House of Leaves
“Easy to read, light-hearted romantic comedy hit of the Summer!” – No One Ever.

Hey! There we go an actual novel book, but of course it’s something out of the mainstream that most people probably haven’t heard of… Third book?

How To Build A Dungeon: Book Of The Demon King
“Is it wrong to try to pick up girls in a dungeon—and immediately have sex with them?”

There’s probably a reference in there I’m not getting… Fourth book?

A Song of Ice and Fire Series
“When you take out the sex and violence it’s really just a lot of long descriptions of what people are wearing.”

I actually know that book! Yay, something relevant to me, even if you did just roast it… Fifth and final book please?

Food Wars!
“Just what every recipe book is missing, a heaping serve of anime tiddies! (also great story, characters, etc)”

Are they still called ‘anime tiddies’ when they’re in a manga? What do I look like a tiddie expert?

Please stop saying ‘tiddie’. No you.

Anyway, that was interesting! Yeah what a fun idea for a post! I enjoyed that!

So now all that’s left is to nominate people! It’s so hard to keep track, and I don’t want to spam people with too many things to do, so if you want to do this challenge yourself leave a comment below and I’ll edit the post to put your name here:

Fair enough. Thanks for reading everybody and have a good day!

Real Neat Blog Award – Untold Questions

Guess what? What!

Someone thinks you’re ‘real neat’ enough to get an award. Do they think I’m hip and happening and far out and outta sight, too?

Or maybe they just think you’re ‘neat’ as in ‘tidy’? I will also accept that.

But seriously you were nominated for another award ‘The Real Neat Blog Award’ (again)! Somehow I feel like that should read the ‘Real NEET Blog Award’ seems more appropriate all things considered.

I don’t know what that means. Quiet, normie!

Anyway… The Spooky Red Head nominated you! Truly the spookiest of redheads! Thanks for the nomination!

You know the drill, rules plz. Right, 1. Display The Award Logo, 2. Thank The Blogger Who Nominated You, 3. Answer The Questions Of The One Who Nominated You, 4. Nomination 5-10 Bloggers, 5. Ask Them 7 Questions.

Thems the rules! “Thems?”

Shut up, let’s just get to the questions…

1. Do you have a favourite Care Bear?

That’s like asking if I favourite child! No, I have no children and I have no care bears that I care for, NEXT QUESTION!

2. What about a favourite My Little Pony?

Why do I feel like I’m being interrogated here? No I’ve never masturbated to MLP hentai, no matter how much you torture me I’ll never admit to it in a court of law! But seriously, no, I do not partake of the “pony”.

3. Who’s your favourite sailor scout?

Whichever one was gay with the other one, the one where in the English dub they made them sister’s because… “we shan’t dare have something as debauched as same sex relations on this cartoon!” Yeah but I never watched much Sailor Moon either! Talk about the trifecta of animated shows I’ve never watched! 

4. What genre of music do you like?

I like all genres, except country. Literally, just a look at my iTunes playlist it’s 8000+ tracks of the most random musical choices. But if I had to pick one genre it would be ~alternative~

5. Do you have a favourite animal?

Do monster girls count? Because I’m partial to a snake girl, bird girl, horse girl and spider girl from Monster Musume… if not and you mean actual boring ass non-anime animal, then I dunno, a flamingo I guess…

6. Favourite subject in school?

English, because I got to be a smart ass. And Japanese because I am become weeb.

7. What’s your favourite Disney movie?

What makes you think this ‘Frozen Heart’ of mine likes Disney movies? Just ‘Let it Go’ already… ‘For The First Time In Forever’ I don’t have an answer, okay?

And that’s all the questions now? Yup.

So now you have to nominate 5-10 bloggers! So I heard… right so I nominate:

@negativeprimes (Curiously Dead Cat)

@wdbox (YahariBento)

@jiraiyan (Otaku Orbit)

@keikosanimeblog (Keiko’s Anime Blog)

@magicconan14 (Animanga Spellbook)

To those nominated just know there’s no obligation to make a post, I know things are busy for everyone, just take it in your stride. And to those I’ve neglected to nominate, SORRY! It’s hard to keep track!

And now you have to come up with 7 questions to ask them, no pressure to be interesting and funny FYI… FFFFFFFFFFFUUUU…

Questions? Right, so the questions are:

1. If you had a BILLION money (currency of your choosing), how much of it would you spend on anime/manga?
2. What’s your favourite Pokemon!?
3. Do you play video games? If so what’s your favourite? (Or one of your favourites)
4. If you could go back and time and tell your child self one thing, what would it be?
5. How much money would it take for you to walk around the streets of your country’s biggest city holding a dakimakura (body pillow) of your favourite anime character?
6. What do you like to put on your ice cream?
7. What’s the meaning of your life? #toodeepforme

And that’s it is it? I think so! Man these award blogs are too much fun! At this point I think I’ve nominated nearly every one of my followers so from here out expect some repetition in who I nominate! Time to sleep now!

Goodnight. ‘Night.
