obsessive_a101Comment to this entry and I'll pick three of your fandoms. You must then update your journal and answer the following questions:
01: What got you into this fandom in the first place?
02: Do you think you'll stay in this fandom or eventually move on?
03: Favorite episodes/books/movies/etc.?
04: Do you participate in this fandom (fanfiction, graphics, discussions)?
05: Do you think that more people should get into this fandom?
urei_sachi gave me D N Angel, Ouran, and Tenipuri, and ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kogoetahana gave me D N Angel and Tenipuri as well along with Harry Potter! So let's get rolling! (And sorry I am so abominably late on these ^_^")
D N Angel:
1. I don't quite remember how I first got into this fandom actually since it was quite a while back, but I'm pretty it's because of certain music videos that I saw on Youtube that made me so intrigued that I started watching the anime and got hooked on the story and particular Daisuke's and Satoshi's characters (*points to icons*). I've been hooked ever since.
2. I'll probably answer similarly to every fandom with this question, but I tend to get hooked for life. The focus of my attention may not always be on the subject, but there'll always be a place inside that *squees* at certain reminders. For this one, I'm still waiting for the manga series to be completed.
3. None really, I have a soft part for certain moments though - particularly for the relationship that develops between two supposed arch-enemies.
4. Yes. Some. :)
5. Hmm... From what I can tell, it has died down some though people still get into it I think. However, I'm still trying to get certain friends hooked. :D
Ouran:
1. My friend (amethysth ) dragged me to an abandoned math classroom during our senior (?) year of high school, plopped her laptop in front of me and forced me to watch the first episode. And since that point, it has been history as they say.
2. See D N Angel. In this case, it holds exactly the same since I'm also waiting for this manga series to finish. :)
3. Heh, I love the first episode because it is just so memorable, I love the host club all together, but I do have a soft spot (because of my shipping tendencies) for the episode where Kyouya is left at the mall, and he and Haruhi spend the day together.
4. Yes. :)
5. YES! If there's any anime lover in the world that has not been inducted to this club yet, I'd certainly encourage. I know someone at my uni who I have encouraged - that has gotten hooked.
Tenipuri:
1. The dubbed version on CartoonNetwork, but the episodes didn't get released quick enough for me, so I began watching the subs (Thank the Lords of Kobol!).
2. Nope, Tenipuri because of much of what it did for me and how it influenced my viewpoints (yes, it's a shonen sports anime/manga, but fandom made it so much more than that for me) will always have a place among my favorite obsessions. And of course, there's been this deal with the New Prince of Tennis manga recently.
3. LOL! I loved the tournaments and the excitement to see what would happen - of course, favorite matches have to include those completely epic ones: Ryoma and Sanada, Tezuka and Atobe, Tezuka and Sanada, Tezuka and Ryoma, Fuji and Ryoma, Fuji and Tezuka, Ryoma and Yukimura, Kaidoh and Momoshirou doubles effort, but I also loved those where it's just team bonding - sort of relaxed fun and training in the mountains and such. :)
4. Yes. :)
5. Also, yes, but I believe this fandom is/was already pretty big.
Harry Potter:
1. I had actually been very reluctant to read this series when the craze first erupted. Then, my uncle gave me the first book for what was, I think, my 11th Birthday, and I was hooked from then on. :) Gladly.
2. Nope, may it live on. It has been a magical journey reading those bigs, and they'll always play a big part of my childhood/adolescence. I loved reading, I love JKR for what she did to promote reading and literacy around the world, and I love re-reading books,and I'll always love these I think.
3. My favorite books of the series are the first: Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone, and the last: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I am literally in love with both of these (I think I've re-read the first about eleven times). I like the movies well enough, and I think my favorite may either be the first or second, but overall, I much prefer the books.
4. Not really actually.
5. Uhm, this fandom is already huge, but I'd recommend these books to people (though they don't always fit everyone's tastes).
And that's... all. :D Well, that was fun.
