Let's see my claim to shame...

1. Buena Vista. I wouldn't touch their Ghibli titles with a barge pole, and imported from Australia a couple of months before Optimum got them.
4. Ghost In The Shell, VHS, Sound sync error, Special edition. Got three Tenchi Muyo V1s as well somehow.
5. Kiddy Grade is *not* a good name for a series. Razz
10
12. I could fill a shelf in minutes with anime. It's mostly floorbound right now.
16.
17 & 18. Duh Laughing
19. 23.
28. I have to review the things.
29.
31. Do lighting farts count?
34. Mmmm Naru! Very Happy
38. 39.
43. see 28
50. More a hope than a belief. I'd love to see adults turn into children when embarrassed.

I'm a lightweight!


continued...

52. Ghost In The Shell SAC
54. Kiki's Delivery Service
58. Samurai Champloo, although the ending wasn't *that* bad.
59. Right now I don't want Manga to get anything...
61. Yeah, but I still haven't seen the series.
62. see 34
63. oh yes!
64.
67. I own Junk Boy and Urotsukidoji. Not much of a collection.
72. No but I built a cardboard Tetsujin.
73. See Manga
81. Laughing
82. I'm not calling it She The Ultimate Weapon
87.
92.
95. All the time
98.


Wow, 35. I'm one third of the way there.

I laughed SO hard when I read these - but have to own up to my own, of course:

4. The Patlabor movies, Ghost in the Shell, Gunbuster, crikey, where does one stop?!
5. Can't remember for the life of me which one or why!
6. why do you think I didn't have a significant other for so long?!
10. Me and the BBFC, a long, looong relationship.
12. 18 months ago - SO easy to do.
17. Innocence.
28. AND it's now a professional necessity!
29. LMF & Shinsen, I'm looking at you here - work for us professionally, PLEASE!
33. All the time - currently Paprika's opening.
34. Where I work, not a problem.
35. Yes.
37. Done before often enough.
38. Well now, that's easy enough for me, but yeah, before I worked here, definitely.
39. I did. Not any more.
40. I try SO hard - but it still happens.
49. Too many times.
52. Evangelion. Seriously.
53. Oh yes, even before this job.
61. Uh-huh.
62. Where do I start?
63. In public, at cons, no less.
64. Definitely.
65. EVA, Escaflowne, BGC 2040, Cowboy Bebop
68. ALL of Gunsmith Cats, and Ghost In the Shell 1.
69. <sigh>
70. <double sigh>
71. I give up now.
76. Yup - only now it's not just a personal one Smile
77. Drat, yes.
78. All the time.
81. Oh dear, yes.
85. I do now.
97. Many a time.
88. Oh yes.
92. Whoops!
98, 99, 100. What I do for a living!

51 - Tsundere, Tsundere, Tsundere (powerful enough to count for 3 on its own Razz). Aside from that I love catgirls and quiet, shy girls.
52 - I probably annoy people with my own obsession with DearS but something about it just completely connects with me Smile.
54 - I have occasionally done this, most recently with some of Manga's acquisitions.
58 - I really don't mind if a series has a so-so ending if I have enjoyed every other aspect of it.
59 - Although I have not done this as yet, I can definitely see myself regretting that Manga getting a title that I want if they don't get their act together soon.
61 - I understood it well enough but can't say I was particularly satisfied with it.
62 - Eri Sawachika, School Rumble; Miu, DearS to name a couple.
63 - Of course. It is such a common debate that you can't really escape it at least once if you remain in the community any length of time.
64 - I avoided the original Yu Yu Hakusho release by MVM for this reason and got the dual language release when that was released (until it got canned).
65 - I have done this a few times. I even marathoned DearS (13 eps) twice in one night. (I got to the end and even though I had more DVDs I hadn't watched felt wanted to see more so I started at the beginning again.) Embarassed
67 - I have a few hentai items, mostly games, which are far more fun than DVDs.
68 - I have Bleach up to volume 17 and the whole of DearS.
73 - See point 59.
76 - I am fairly sure I could think up somewhat more than 10 Wink.
78 - I probably have. I don't shop around for stuff most of the time and pick up from where I first see it.
81 - I am certainly guilty of this. I know some but am not fluent in Japanese but I often get a twinge when I hear something spoken that does not correspond to what is written on the screen.
82 - I often remember the series by the name I originally heard it called. Sometimes it is just that the (shortened) name is much easier to write and say than the full length on such as This Ugly and Beautiful World/Kono Mini.
83 - I am sure I have at some point.
87 - Seems to be the same as with subs, if slightly less common.
88 - There are some very good examples of this, such as Chobits. The anime was okay but the manga was much better.
95 - Several times. Currently doing this with Spiral, which may be good or could not so I am unsure and will watch to the end to make my judgement.
98 - I don't usually these days.
99 - Yep.
100 - Also, yep.

That makes 30 overall. Much less than I thought I would get to be honest.

He'd break down humanity in revenge upon you, so maybe it's best left alone. Shocked
