Notes:

I'm not actually around, Semagic is doing the work for me, so you guys do the name that fandom! :D

Also... the amount of not posted secrets today worries me. Perhaps some of you could do with a refresher on the rules and regulations?

10. I like both the masculine males and the more feminine ones. It's all about how a character is built and how they develop, to me. I wouldn't care what they looked like, honestly, as long as I found them interesting. I find I DO tend to lean a little more to the more masculine side though. Even so, it changes frequently. I'll take Fakir over Mytho in Princess Tutu anyday, but I'll take Yuki over Kyo in Fruits Basket, Doumyouji and Rui are both kinda tied in HYD. Just to name a few.

17. Oh, how I agree with this. I absolutely loved the first game the most. And the two following were pretty good too. But after that? Do not want. :/

23. Oh man, do I EVER agree with this. I don't give a crap WHO voices what character and it has no bearing on whether I like that character or not. But I certainly don't go around proclaiming Japanese VAs are better or anything (I don't even think they are, either). Nonetheless, doesn't stop others from telling me how much better and superior the dubs are because of Chris Patton, Luci Christian, or Greg Ayres (not sure about the spelling on that last name but too lazy to look it up). And it makes me feel the same way, pretty much. I can't understand liking a character just because a certain VA voices them. And I don't think either subs or dubs are superior to the other. I like both, frankly, but I may like one or the other more for any certain series. And if I say I don't like a particular dub or whatever, I get accused of HATING on them, which really irritates me. (TL;DR)

24. I've been moved when it happens, too. It really can be emotionally-striking at times. However, I'm not particularly fond of continual sob-fests. I do agree that realistic crying is the best, though. And the most believable.

Really, it makes no sense to me. The VA is selected to match the character, not the other way around. I've heard sub fans can be pretty bad too, but I don't really get that either. The character isn't going to be any better just because a certain person does their voice. And him ranting about it just makes me want to tune him out more than anything else. >> As long as you can enjoy it, what does it matter who their voice is?

Sobfests... No. Don't go for that either. There's a delicate balance. But I did love the fact that Renton cries pretty much at least once an episode. He's not sobbing and being a useless lump while he sobs it out, he's just tearing and snotting up all over the fucking place while he keeps going and it's awesome.

... I dunno, I don't think either Kyo or Fakir are that masculine. By shoujo standards, maybe, but otherwise... not so much.

Not to say that you shouldn't like them or find them attractive or anything, just that using them as examples of masculine characters is a bit odd.

I mean in context to other characters in their series. Not necessarily saying they're like big burly guys, cause I know they're not. o_O But I think they act and appear more masculine than other guys in their same respective series (Fakir may dance ballet and be a skinny boy, but I find him ten times more manly than Mytho or Femio o_o;).

They're just examples off the top of my head, for now. I know what the OP is alluding to, but I'm just saying I go for both and I might lean slightly one way or the other depending on said series (even if the examples I gave were shoujo things). That's all I'm trying to say, really.

That's true -- comparatively speaking, they're pretty manly. XD

And that's fair enough. Sorry for getting on your case about it.
