1. I actually don't remember. But it was the first lj comm I followed. (And one I forgot to join until they locked commenting to members. :D )
2. I pick up a volume or two of FMA whenever I see it at the library, but I don't actually follow it -- although from what I hear, I should start. I watched a couple episodes of AtLA and then stopped for some reason. I'll pick it back up eventually . . .
3. Shoujo Kakumei Utena is my favourite anime in the world. It has actual symbolism and references that mean something! :D Apart from that, there's the classics like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, Trigun . . . that kind of thing. Oh, and Legend of Galactic Heroes, which is a fantastically long and wonderful OVA series about two different superpowers having giant battles in space. And politics.
As for comics, anything by Naoki Urasawa is fantastic. Sho Fumimura's Sanctuary is also really good, though it's not the kind of thing everyone likes. (There's a really great double-page spread of two men sitting in a living room. And it's actually dramatic, not because they're Yakuza but because they're sitting in this guy's living room. And they bring flowers for his wife, and congratulate his daughter on passing her test at school, how thoughtful of them . . .)
*cough* Anyway. 4. Terrible characterization, and consistently using a word wrong. Imply =/= infer, dammit!
5. IDK . . . does the fact that I love reading about Yakuza count? :D
