hAppy bIrth...d.ay Crap I missed it. Nevertheless, Happy Birthday!!!
<3 thank ye bud. We *must* go out for pizza (andbeercough) sometime when you're in the general vicinity and not working!! yes we physically must you have zero choice in the matter sry Or I guess when you're working too, if you want to make a hell of a fun day even funner.
What is your favorite character from DB-Z-GT-OVA based solely on their special abilities?
Gut reaction? Tenshinhan. The first time I watched Dragon Ball all the way through, I was BLOWN AWAY by a) how many amazing techniques Ten used, especially during the 23rd Budoukai (like holy crap his battle against goku was C R A Z Y), and b) how many of the killer techniques that showed up in early Z that I always thought WERE SO KEWL were actually his creations. (Taiyou-ken, the multi-form thingy, etc.)
I also really love Kuririn for the Kienzan alone because it's so slick, and Yamucha has some of the cooler looking abilities too, like his RFFK of course and the poor, short-lived Soukidan.
In general that's part of why I love the early parts of the franchise rather than the latter, because it was a lot more about cool/stupid techniques and less about Battle Powers and shouting blonde weirdos etc. :x
How do you feel about the, "The only classics worth watching are Bebop, Akira, GitS, etc." crowd? (I understand this question may not make sense haha)
To put it plainly: I think they're wrong as wrong can get, lol.
Luckily, I'm not close to many people who feel that way, otherwise we'd be getting into scuffles regularly. It's hard for me to understand people who don't like the "older" art styles. Is it as crisp as your HD computer-hybrid stuff now? No, because it was made for tiny ass TV sets and usually rushed out by underpaid lackeys doing it all by hand, lol. It's a fact of the times, and why you don't go into a silent film going THIS SUCKS CUZ NO TALKING.
Since it's a mediated market (woohoo translating), there are some real gems out there that aren't as popular as the Big Titles That Everyone Knows. It makes me happy to see people looking back and finding those good ones that didn't get picked up by an English company, or that didn't succeed for reasons not related to quality. (Most anime made before ~1988, really.)
A lot of my stance comes from being a literature student. I read things, liked them, found out what they were inspired by, read that too, often loved it even more, and so on. I like to know as much context as I can for art because it gives me a much better appreciation of it--actual intellectual pleasure, being able to find connections, little homages, and how making meaning has changed over time.
tl;dr Love your roots! LOVE THEM.

What horror movie has cost you the most sleep, if any?
Well, in the grand scheme of life it is definitely the original A Nightmare on Elm Street, since my older brother used to scare the everloving shit out of me with Freddy growing up. (And Jason, and Pinhead, and most of the staple baddies from the late 80s/early 90s.)
The Kubrick version of The Shining absolutely terrified me as a teenager. I watched it with a friend one night so got the “group scare” experience, and we were so scared we had to turn it off and try again during the day because it’s an oppressively (but subtly) frightening film.
I’m super easy to scare (which is one reason I love horror because I really get a looootttt out of the experience) so it’s not too hard for me to lose sleep over a film if it’s even halfway decent. Most of them leave me paranoid at the very least and it’s hard for me to watch them alone and at night, lol. /is grown and 26, sigh
What's that song playing on your page?_?
