Are You An Anime Renaissance Person? Let's Find Out!
Ever wondered how diverse your anime taste really is? Time to put your knowledge to the test! We're about to calculate your personal Anime Variety Score (AVS), a totally scientific (not really) measure of how far and wide you roam across the anime landscape.
The Categories - Your Adventure Starts Here!
First, think about the different worlds anime has to offer. Think about your anime viewing experience.
- Shonen Action: Think Dragon Ball Z, One Piece, My Hero Academia. Big fights, bigger friendships, and even bigger hair! If you've seen at least three, give yourself 20 points.
- Slice of Life: Sweet stories about everyday happenings, like K-On! or Yuru Camp. These are your cozy anime. One season watched, 10 points earned.
- Isekai Adventures: Transported to another world! Sword Art Online, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime are classics. Reincarnated at least once? That's 15 points.
- Romance: From the sweet and fluffy to the tear-jerking dramas, like Fruits Basket or Your Lie in April. Did you shed a tear? Bonus points! Count 10 points for each series.
- Mecha Mayhem: Giant robots battling it out! Gundam, Evangelion, Gurren Lagann. Bonus point if you can name at least 3 robot models from any series! Got a mecha in your heart? 10 points!
- Sports Anime: High-flying volleyball in Haikyuu!!, intense basketball in Kuroko's Basketball. If you have been shouting and cheering during the match, give yourself 10 points.
- Mystery/Thriller: Solve crimes with Detective Conan or get spooked by Another. If you successfully predicted the plot twist in one, get 10 points!
- Magical Girl: Transformations, sparkly outfits, and fighting evil! Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura, Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Watched one? Claim 5 points.
- Historical/Samurai: Journey to the past with Rurouni Kenshin or explore feudal Japan. Got your katana ready? 10 points await!
- Horror/Supernatural: Ghosts, demons, and things that go bump in the night! Tokyo Ghoul, Demon Slayer. If you're not afraid, claim 5 points.
Time to Tally Up!
