I am too lazy to play it for real, and I will not tag anyone, but I like the questions that Mr. Moofang posted.

1) How much does art style (not so much production values but the style of the drawings, character designs, background stylistics, even the type of BGM) affect your opinion of a show?

The art style affects my opinions quite a bit, although asymmetrically. I love non-traditional art approaches, when used tastefuly, like in Windy Tales. It adds a lot to an artsy show. But bad art does not detract, usually. The ugly eyes in Ninomiya-kun in Chizumatic's top rotation is the only example when poor art was decisive.

2) Do you see yourself still watching anime 10 years from now?

Probably yes. I watched anime back in 1975, so why stop now? True, Nanoha made me throw an I-hate-all-anime-now tantrum, but hey...

3) Virtual Idols (think Vocaloid, Idolm@ster): Okay or No way?

In my opinion, iM@S and Vocaloid have basically nothing in common, with the former being a part and parsel of the industry, while Vocaloid thriving on user expression. I regard Vocaloid as a kin of Touhou that way.

That said they both are great for what they are. And iM@S TV rescued me from after-effects of Nanoha. Thank you, Haruka. Your candy was magical.

I should add that I have an utmost faith in the ability of Yamakan to screw up everything, including idol anime (I heard it was slated for 2013 Winter).

4) Do you play visual novels? What do you think of them as a storytelling medium?

Since I do not have easily available Windows PCs, most VNs are not easily accessible to me. I mostly dabbed into VNs at PSP, but was frustrated by, in large part, difficulties with screencapping. Ani-nouto has a category for VNs, that documents completed titles. Behind the scenes, I also tried to gain access to Android-based titles, but that was an abject failure.

In general I like the branchy medium, because it is more malleable to taste. You think the confused teenage sex was boring or vapid in Haganai Portable? No problem, play Rika's path! However, VNs present challenges to writers, that must be adequately addressed for it to work right. In Toradora Portable, for instance, there were parts where characters refer to events that never occured.

5) Do some characters you like capture you on a guttural level? What kind? Or are you so sophisticated you only like characters for their character writing and multidimensional layers?

Solid writing, attractive personality, and certain depth all work well to deliver an engaging character, but yes: I have a waifu too. Her identity is somewhat of a secret, however.
