F!S Anon Meme (the Seventh, and now on DW!)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with captchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

I'll be linking some general/general-fandom threads I see so people don't repost new threads with the same stuff.

Unpopular Ships
Obligatory Masturbation Thread
Fandoms you wish existed
How old are you?
What series have you always meant to watch/read/play/etc. but have never?
Time and location
Female-centric works
How do you feel about Tumblr?
Pet thread
Guilty pleasure thread
Favorite old shows
First fandom?

Most of the stuff I'm familiar with is Japanese anime or video games, but that's because I consume a lot of it. There are probably a lot of great Western female-centric stuff that I just haven't tried.


12 Kingdoms (an Asian fantasy anime series)
Slayers (another fantasy anime series with a female protagonist, but a big part of it is comedy so if you're looking for something completely serious, it's not a good choice)
NANA (I usually dislike shoujo, but NANA is fantastic)
Hellsing (to be honest I wouldn't call this female-centric, but it does have a pretty cool female protagonist so I thought I'd mention it anyway)

Video games:
Valkyrie Profile (best female JRPG protagonist I've ever seen--though not that there's much competition)
Fire Emblem: Sacred Stones (there are twin main characters, you can choose to follow either the sister or the brother's path)
Legend of Mana (the protagonist is silent but can be either male or female, and the stories in this game have a LOT of female characters)
Mass Effect (if you choose female Shepard)
Dragon Age: Origins (if you choose a female Warden)
Okami (main character is a wolf goddess, nice plot too)


There's more but that's all I can think of at the moment. Though if you're looking for active fandoms, I'm afraid out of the ones I mentioned only Mass Effect and Dragon Age really have one.

OP here, and Okami is probably my favourite video game of all time. Endless thumbs up to you for mentioning it, and I'm ashamed of myself for missing it.

Valkyrie Profile was a fantastic game. The sequel was pretty good too. There's also Odin Sphere, where the story is split between three female and two male characters (but if anyone is the 'main character' then I'd say it's definitely Gwendolyn, one of the women). In Star Ocean: The Second Story, you can choose to follow the path of either a male or female character. And anime-wise, I'd recommend .hack//Quantum.
