I'm open to answer any questions, so shoot.
1) Is your name Will? Because I was told to shoot at Will. =OP
2) Do you mind getting questions from someone with an extremely bizarre sense of humor?
 
My name is not Will 😀 So please don't literally shoot me.

I don't mind answering questions from someone with an extremely bizarre sense of humor! Sorry for taking months to reply lol Things got busy 😛
 
That's a toughy.

For years it used to be YuYu Hakusho — hands down. However, I've watched a helluva lot more since then, so it makes it a bit hard.

I love HunterxHunter (specifically the newer one; the older one cut it too short), which is by the same dude as YuYu. Toradora is awesome. Mushishi and Kino no Tabi are both great too. Ouran High School Host Club is fantastic for a comedy. Nana has feelz and sadness.

So, I suppose it depends on the genre? Type, etc.

YuYu Hakusho and HunterxHunter are both amazing shonen anime unlike the rest out there. Constantly making fun of what is typically shown in those types of shows and branching out from it.

For shojo, Nana is awesome. It's definitely not something people who are heavily into action or a fast-paced plot would be into, nor someone desiring a happy ending. It's a lot closer to real life than a lot of the anime I have watched. They're all adults just trying to get by in Tokyo. Sex, drug abuse, infidelity — the works.

When it comes to shows that have an overall meaning in each episode then I'm torn between Kino no Tabi and Mushishi. Animation-wise Mushishi is better, but it also came out much later than Kino no Tabi. Both have great lessons to learn. Those into the paranormal would like Mushishi more. Kino definitely keeps to realism aside from a few things, but they make it quite clear it's something expected in their world.

Ouran High School Host Club has some feels and is definitely more of a shojo, but the comedy aspect is what got me. It's goofy and lighthearted. The style is adorable and as an artist I never get tired of looking at it. The lines are really clean and the colors are nice. The ending could have been better, but meh.

Toradora is a huge feelz train. Comes up as yet another school girl harem anime at first. Where you think e'rybody is gonna be aaaaall over the main dude, but it really isn't. It's probably one of the very few anime I have seen that relatively portrays high school accurately. There are some moments that remind you it is still an anime, but they address a lot of really genuine scenarios someone could face growing up.

Wahoo! Wall of text. xD
 
Are you working on any projects at the moment? 🙂
 
Yes 😀 I'm working on making some couple rings for my first anniversary with my boyfriend. They have a line from the chorus of our song translated into Zelda sheet music (because we're huge Zelda nerds lol). So far just have prototypes, but it's a fun process 😀

I'm also working on a plushie of Riki from Xenoblade, but have to wait for the customer to get back to me before I continue.
 
Hmmm... That's a good question. I suppose it depends on what it is.

Typically with movies I prefer watching at home, since you dodge the rude crowds commonly seen in movie theaters. However, I go to the movie theater more often than I go to see a play or musical, so I suppose film.

There are some things I'd prefer seeing done on stage though.
 
If you could live on a planet other than earth, which one would you choose?
 
@Mr.Snuggles
Somewhere in Germany, though the more I've visited Canada the more I've been enjoying it.

I lived in Germany when I was little and visited again when I was 15. Really gorgeous place, nice people, tasty food. I love all of the forest and how pretty it is in winter.

The description is also pretty befitting of Canada. Well, at least in Sudbury. It's the only city I've visited so far.

@Thomje112
Hmmm... I haven't really thought about it, honestly. It also depends if it can only be a real planet or if it can be a fictional one.

Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan: Demon Capital
At least, that is what Netflix put down as its name. Google doesn't include the Demon Capital part.

Before that I rewatched some of Please Save My Earth. Rewatched all of Kino no Tabi and one of the movies. Probably other stuff I'm just forgetting. xD
 
Dear and Sweet just sort of popped in my head.

Aru is a nickname of a nickname which eventually became an even shorter nickname.

An old friend of mine called me "Aru," stating it was what Al was in Japanese (Al being a nickname of my actual name). Originally I thought it sounded cute so I used it for a comic character, unaware anyone else would eventually call me it. Eventually someone else shortened it to Ru becoming a nickname of a nickname of a nickname.

I kept the DearSweetAru even after the comic went into hiatus and I started going by Ru. I like how it sounds. 😀
