There was request, so I did it :p

Info
Essentially, it's a survey elongated over 30 days that will help take some time out of you day. You can join in at any time at the day it's on, or even post your list up to the respective day.

Know-how
Each day there will be a category for you to respond to, just provide an answer to the posed topic, along with reasons/history for your choice. For reference, here's the list:

--Week 1: You and Your Anime--
Day 01 - Very First Anime
Day 02 - Your Anime Crush
Day 03 - Current (or most recent) anime wallpaper
Day 04 - Anime Guilty Pleasure
Day 05 - Anime you think had the best/most intriguing art
Day 06 - Favorite AMV/MAD
Day 07 - Most treasured anime-related merchandise (if you don't have any, something you want)


--Week 2: Favorite Series--

Day 27 - Favorite scene
Day 28 - Favorite dub


--Last Spurt!--
Day 29 - Most underrated anime (or Best anime that no one's seen)
Day 30 - Favorite overall anime


When does it count as a "new day"?
Usually I'd be doing it 12am EST (-5), though that can change depending on whether I'm still out or not. Best indicator is me changing the title of the thread to the next day. First day will last 2 days for the sake of everyone realizing this thread is here (and aligning the weeks to Sunday).

Posting Format
Really, all you need to do is include the day number corresponding to the survey, your choice, and your reason. Pictures are nice too, but not required. Youtube vids are ok as well, but don't be obsessive about them (like put AMVs for everything, that's what the AMV category's for), and watch to make sure you're not putting anything infringing up (will be partially ignored for Favorite Dub and Scenes).
For purposes of laziness, you can use this if you want.

Day XX: Topic

(Picture/youtube)

Choice
Reason

Extra
You are given a few "cheat" options for these 30 days. This means you're allowed to use something that's similar to anime, but not really anime. Examples include using Kamen Rider, J-pop songs, and the Avatar series (Actually, I won't be counting and have no way to enforce this. Just don't do it too much :p). Also, you're not allowed to use this cheat as a choice for a topic in the Last Spurt

Day 01: Very First Anime

Pokemon/Dragonball Z.
I honestly have no clue which one came first/ if I saw them both at basically the same time but they are the earliest anime I can remember. (Yay for Cheez TV. R.I.P)

Day 01 - Very First Anime

My first anime was either Sailor Moon or Dragonball. (I really liked Sailor Moon but I have very early memories of watching Dragonball sometimes too, so I dunno.) However, I had no idea that either of those were anything other than just "cartoons". The first anime that I knew came from Japan was one of Pokemon, Digimon, or Dragonball Z. I started watching all of them at about the same time and I think YTV specifically called them "anime" so I started paying closer attention and soon enough started seeking out as much of it as I could find. :P

Day 1 - Very First Anime



Dragonball Z, Pokemon & Sailor Moon

My very first Anime I've ever watched when I was around 5 years old..was Dragonball Z vs Pokemon. Pokemon was new in 1996 or so and Dragonball Z was already in its 3rd season facing Frieza..and I did liked Sailor Moon at that time but I never really...paid attention to the times when it was on. Shame I didn't pay much attention then. Just thought I'd throw that info in..but Dragonball Z wins here. I can say the exact episodes...Vegeta was dying and Goku buried Vegeta prior to the battle vs Frieza..and the Charizard vs Aerodactyl episode with Jigglypuff and Gary in it were the first episodes I viewed.

Day 1: Very First Anime

My very first anime, was, without a doubt, Pokemon. I never really had a chance to watch cartoons meant for "older" children until that came out, as my parents felt I was too young for those before Pokemon was released. I picked up several anime shows because of my cousins shortly thereafter.

Probably Day 02 already but I don't feel like getting ahead of anyone.

Day 01 - Very First Anime

I'm actually pretty lucky to have a TV station that made it a point to import and dub anime. I don't think I've watched much of it on my younger days, however, and ironically I hate most dubs of my language now. Anyway, I eventually started watching Doraemon and made it a habit to watch every episode that I can catch of it ever since. That is until I got introduced to other anime like Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho and Hunter X Hunter. I think Pokémon was a different case, I watched it like a cartoon instead when I finally caught on. But yeah, Doraemon was my first anime, and I don't have much fond memories of it.


And if it all goes crashing into the sea

Day 01 - Very First Anime

I'm one of those people who started off with stuff like Dragonball Z and Yu Yu Hakusho, though I didn't know at the time that they were any different from the other cartoons I used to watch. The first time I realised that these shows were something else was much later on, when I stumbled on a channel which showed some anime like Yu-Gi-Oh! and Beyblade without dubs/subs.

Sailor Moon, but that was before I had a clue what anime was, lol. Predated the likes of Pokemon by several years.

Day 01 - Very First Anime

I think it was either Sailor Moon, Cardcaptors or Pokemon, but I can't remember which one I watched first. Anyways, back then I had no clue what anime was so at the time, so I had no idea I was watching anime. Eventually, when I began using the internet more frequently, I started to learn about anime and manga. I think my first show where I actually knew I was watching anime was Katekyo Hitman REBORN!.

Day 01 - Very First Animé
Pokémon is the first anime I really liked. I was 4 when I discovered it, my aunt offered me the cassette of the three first episodes, and we watched it with my cousins. I didn't know Pokémon before (or just Pikachu), but they managed to quickly convert me to it. 12 years later, I'm on this forum, still fan of Pokémon, but not watching the anime anymore (or the first seasons for the nostalgia).

Could be Pokémon, Sailor Moon or Super Pig, I don't remember well. But uhh, not counting the childhood ones, the first anime I watched knowingly was Death Note!

First anime I've watched would be Doraemon, dubbed in Chinese, under "Little Ding Dong". The first anime I actually watched knowingly was probably Cardcaptor Sakura, though I'm not sure.

Day 2 - Your Anime Crush

Hmm this is a really hard thing because I dont really have an anime crush.

Motoko Kusanagi (GITS) would probably be up there, along with Erza scarlet (Fairy Tail), also Celty Sturluson from Durarara!!! (I really liked her english dub voice).

I cant really think of anyone else besides those 3 though.. but again I dont really have an anime crush per say.

Day 2 - Your Anime Crush

Okay so I had a long discussion with my friends about this, Mario Bros isn't an Anime after all. But Princess Peach is still my #1 forever. :D

Rin Tohsaka: Fate/Stay Night
Spoiler:

Her design and personality is just awesome and badass. Not to mention I like the hair. The names(That aren't too complicated to pronounce, etc) for certain Anime characters do attract me a bit to actually use them for a Series I've been writing/creating. Tohsaka is by far one of my favorite names...Teletha Testarossa is another. That full name is just awesome. Say that 10 times fast though haha. I have several others from other Anime but...I think I'll save those for other days of the challenge. ;)

Seems I missed the first day! So I'll do them both in one. c:

Day 01 - Very First Anime

DBZ! It was always on whilst I was a child and I've always loved the show. It's always new and interesting and the characters are great.

Day 2 - Your Anime Crush

I love my men without nipples My biggest crush is actually Ash from the Pokemon anime, but that's based on an older version of him that I've kinda replaced the 10 year old version with in my mind, so that doesn't really count. So yeah, Cilan is #2 (also from the Pokemon anime) because his personality and charm and charisma and quirks are exactly what I'd look for in a man. :3

Since Leaf from Pokemon never appeared in the anime (not that that's a bad thing, given the epic fail-ness of that show) I'd have to say Honoka Yukishiro/Cure White from the original Pretty Cure. She's cute, smart, takes an interest in science, and IMO her Pretty Cure outfit is still the cutest even years later :)

Day 2 - Your Anime Crush

so we post our waifus and husbandos?

Spoiler:


If I had to pick only one, it would have to be Xerxes Break from Pandora Hearts, mainly because I think he has a great personality. Most of the time he seems to be quite carefree and happy-go-lucky but he can be serious and sinister when he wants to. He's also fairly good at fighting (especially for someone whose eyesight isn't that great) and overall, he looks awesome.

And he's just generally a badass.

Spoilers for the Pandora Hearts manga, I guess:
Spoiler:
Looking at the latest chapter of the manga, I have a feeling he won't be around for much longer... ;_;

Day 02 - Your Anime Crush

Angel from Angel Beats! and Saber from Fate/stay night. I really enjoyed watching the two shows they were in largely because of those two. Not only do I love how they appear, Angel is adorable, and Saber feels like a really deep character. Those descriptions can work both-ways for the two, depending on how you look at it. One common characteristic between them still stands out though, they're both consistently calm even when they do all kinds of badassery. That's not even a word, but I'm still using it because they deserve being described like that.
