Ai Yori Aoshi, is a great lighthearted anime.

I got Emotional-Thoughtful, which means Air. This quiz is a conspiracy. I prefer CLANNAD and to a certain extent, Kanon.

Heh. Funny quiz here. I scored 4 thoughtful, 3 dramatic, 2 emotional, and 1 lighthearted.

Of all the shows you mention, I’ve seen six; ef, Clannad, Shuffle, Air, Kanon, and KGNE. I think KGNE is my favorite, followed by ef and Air. Clannad was alright–and had some good, genuine humor going for it. I did not like Kanon (and because I did not like it I did not watch KyoAni’s remake) and Shuffle is a pile of crap, IMO. :D

H20 is on my to-watch list, though, as is Tsukihime. And maybe, since your quiz suggested it, I’ll try True Tears. I’d never heard of it until now, though.

I tied for Emotional/Thoughtful and Thoughtful/Emotional. While I can’t say that this was helpful (I’ve already seen these lol) it was certainly entertaining – and unlike many quizzes, it was hard to predict what answers would lead to what show.

What no Higurashi? I thought that was where those E answers were going.

I was surprised that I got so strong a split – 6 thoughtful, 3 emotional, 1 dramatic. And my matching show ef was one I haven’t seen so maybe I’ll put it in my queue. When I flipped my 2 categories around I got Air. I love Air – I’d love to see a 26 episode remake of Air over more Clannad episodes.

Anyways, great post.

Interesting, I liked ef the best out of all the ones that I’ve seen, but I ended up with Da Capo. I’ve never seen it so I’ll take this as helpful advice. I’m just glad I didn’t get H2O :P

- I’d say visual novels adaptations are a subset of harems, not the other way around.

- ef had 3 girls and 2 protagonists, can that ratio really count as a harem?

- True Tears is a love triangle, Aiko was an incidental plot device more than a girl.

- What, what, WHAT happened to the harem of all harems, the quintessential collection of archetypes surrounding, punching, and eventually loving a humble nerd, the omission of which makes me what to go all-caps — Love Hina? I’d say it goes for the lighthearted-dramatic end, but it’s also just plain great.

But getting away from all that nitpicking, props to you for putting together such an involved piece of work, not to mention have it make some sense, yowza.

I got 4 emo, 2 drama, 2 elitist, 1 shallow, and 1 joke.

I looked up emo-elitist (’cause drama’s totally not my thing) and I found, lo and behold, Air. One of my favorite shows ever, and yet, I have nothing but disdain for (almost all) the things you mention in your description of it. It was an eye-opener and a thought-changer and it entranced me with its visual and aural aesthetic. Plot? Characters? Come on.

Freakin’ disgrace.

Tsukihime and EF were MUCH better on those fronts. Psh.

EDIT: also, since when were AIR and EF harem shows?

I got ef so I’m happy. The funniest was watching my sis take the test. She got 3-3-3-1 where the 1 was lighthearted and was torn between 6 different shows. Thank you for giving me another opportunity to make fun of sis with the Minami-ke “plain yogurt” reference.

Nicely done! I got Ef and AIR, which are my two favourites, (unless you count something like Eva as harem…) albeit in the opposite order. Even when EF is reminding one of Anno in his pomp, the central concept of AIR gives it a sense of coherence and scale which nothing else quite matches.

Geez… Depends on which why I go. I either got H20 or True Tears. :)
