09. Sub vs. dub?
depends....if the dub is really good than I'll gladly watch the dub, though most of the time I enjoy both.....but if the anime was dubbed by 4kids....then I'll avoid that dub like a plague and watch the sub without a shadow of a doubt.

Part II. Manga:
01. What was the first manga you've read?
Inuyasha
02. What was the first manga you've bought?
Again....Inuyasha XD
03. How many volumes do you have now?
of Inuyasha??? None...I donated them to a library (long story)...but I have 1 one piece manga, bleach I have 9, Megaman NT Warrior I have the whole collection. MAR I have the whole collection, Fushigi Yugi I have 14-18, Kingdom Hearts (yes they made that into a manga XD) I have all 4 of the first one. I have one and two of Kingdom Hearts two....DANGIT RELEASE KINGDOM HEARTS 2 VOL. THREE ALREADY!!! Ahem....I have 3 Magic Knight Rayearth, 4 of Fruits Basket, and 3 Shaman King.....oh and 1 Naruto.
04. What is your favorite manga (only, that's not made into an anime)?
Dang....that's hard! D: I did enjoy Cresent Moon....but....do manga based off of Video Games count??? Because I heart Kingdom Hearts Manga! :D
05. What manga have you've been waiting for to be translated for a long time?
er.....I dunno. Because if it isn't translated, then I probably hadn't heard of it ^^;
06. Do you buy manga monthly?
I wish......(If I was related to one of the host club members (or batman 8D) I could probably buy Manga WEEKLY T_T)
07. Is there a manga series that you prefer as an anime? And vise versa?
I do....I prefer the Yu Yu Hakusho anime, and Code Geass anime.
I like the Shaman King manga and anime equally....same with One Piece.
And I know I'm gonna get shot for saying this.....I actually heart the first anime series of FMA. Like if I were to put on a scale of one to ten for both the anime and manga......manga gets 9.99 and anime is 10-PLEASE FORGIVE ME!!! (is bricked and shot) OUCH!!!! T_T
09. Do you prefer actual manga vs. scanlations?
While I prefer actual manga, scanlations come out faster, and I can keep up with them....they both have their pros and cons.
One is faster and more convient, the other you get the expierence of holding the book-and paying to support the mangaka who gives you such an awesomesauceness.
But.....the other can suck because it's only chapter by chapter...so I'll still have to wait another week, or even 2 weeks if the mangaka is taking a break......vs.......I'm poor and manga can get expensive when it adds up.
10. What manga are you currently waiting to be released this year?
None...I already said that!
Part III. Anime vs. Manga:
02. Do you appreciate the art more in anime or more in manga?
Depends on the anime and the manga....but mostly manga. (cept for Yu Yu Hakusho...I like the anime art for that series better ^^;....)
03. Do you like drama cds?
Well no, because I'm not japanese, so I wouldn't be able to understand them...you can't exactly SUB a drama cd T_T
04. If you had to choose, would you work for a manga company or an anime company?
Anime....but if I had to choose, it would be a dubbing company....and only one comes to mind that deserves a trophy for their awesomeness.....FUNIMATION!!!!!!!!
05. If you ever had your own manga made into an anime, would you want it to or would you not want it to be made?
OH HECK YES....I'm doing a couple of stories and I would KILL for them to be made into animes!!!! :D
