lucathia30 days of Tenipuri, all in one day! Because I am not up to posting daily with this. ^^; I'd feel like I were spamming...
01 Your favorite team and/or character
Rikkai all the way. Before Rikkai, I didn't have a favorite team and pretty much just rooted for Ryoma all the time. I also like all of the second year rivals of Ryoma, like Shinji, Yuuta, Hiyoshi, Kirihara...
Yagyuu would be the first to break that pattern because he's not a rival of Ryoma's and he's not a second year either. (It also helps that he's a megane character, and his laser beam is way cool).
I started liking Rikkai because they put a lot of pressure on Seigaku. I kind of felt that Seigaku had it a bit too easy most of the time! I also loved the Rikkai chapters because Seigaku was challenged to playing without Tezuka.
02 Your least favorite team and/or character
Hm, no one immediately comes to mind, but I guess I have teams and characters I care less about. Like... Rokkaku. Kentarou. Higa's coach. Jyousei Shounan. The American team. For Jyousei Shounan and the American team, I'm still not capable of naming all the characters. =x
03 A team and/or character everyone else loves and you don't understand why
Seigaku? XD; Nah... I mean, they are the main team, so of course they're bound to have fans. I like them well enough too~. I just wish they could have lost once or twice. I think it'd have helped their growth more (and would have made winning feel more meaningful).
04 A team and/or character that deserved more screen time
Haha, so many. XD; But I'd have to say... MIDORIYAMA!! I loved them so much!so many second years, aahhhhhhh. I also adored Kiraku, so it was sad that he pretty much only showed up in those 4 chapters...
Again, this ties in with me liking all of Ryoma's 2nd year rivals. ^^;;
05 A character that you thought had an interesting 40.5 profile
Ahaha, I don't quite remember. I think I remember adoring Mizuki's...
Oh, but the quotes that other characters said to Yanagi were sure amusing. Inui of course brought up the 4 years, 2 months, and 15 days thing. Mizuki went and invited Yanagi... and Gakuto commented about Yanagi's hairstyle, pft.
06 Your favorite character that isn't a middle school tennis player
Karupin. (I don't know why Karupin didn't cross my mind until I saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gottis_chan's answers). But Karupin!! I want a cat like Karupin. :O
I also quite like Nanako and Rinko (from what we saw of her in the flashback chapter).
07 Your favorite pairing
Yagyuu Hiroshi x Niou Masaharu. I devoured so much fanwork of this pairing at one point. I've never considered myself an OTP kind of person, but they got pretty close (still, I love breaking them up, so...).
I just like seeing my favorite characters, so I'd take Yagyuu x anyone. XD;; It's pretty fascinating seeing how different characters might affect him~
I also adore crack pairings. XD
08 Your least favorite pairing
Hm, again, like with my "least" favorite school/character, I have ones I care less about. I don't read many pairing fics between double pairs other than Yagyuu and Niou. I don't believe that just because the characters play together in doubles, they're immediately lovers or soul mates or whatever. =/
It also grates on my nerves when characters like Fuji are portrayed as weak and clingy when they're paired with certain other characters.
09 Your favorite tennis match or story arc
I adored Ryoma's unofficial match with Kirihara. Those chapters made me squeal so hard. Especially when Ryoma started speaking all that English (and made Kirihara confused since his English sucked *g*).
I thought Ryoma was so cool. XD;
10 Your favorite song from TeniMyu
There are tons, but my most favorite is Ore wa Ore no Namae de Yobaretai. I love KENN's voice so much! And Yuuta was so much love~. His solo with this song in one of the Dream Lives was awesome.
Completely out of order, but... Some of my other favorites are Tezuka Phantom (I am just so amused by this song), Yudan Sezu ni Ikou (so beautiful!), Kokoro no Hitomi ~Close Eye~ (so touching!), Omoidaze Echizen (wah, with Momo encouraging Ryoma to remember!), Heavy Rain (Fuji just has some of the best songs...), Kejime (Tachibana and Chitose <3333), Aitsu koso ga Tennis no Oujisama (I remember being very touched by this. I loved how people took turns singing about Ryoma. My favorite parts were the rival team parts. KENN had a turn in one of the versions, hehe), Omae wa Seigaku no Hashira ni Nare, Boku wa dare? (wahhh, Ryoma asking who he is and what tennis is!), Dead End (Rikkai felt so deadly~), Yukimura no Tennis (Oh gosh~), 4 years, 2 months, and 15 days (I cannot get enough of Inui and Yanagi and how they've been counting the days they've been apart...), Shinken Shoubu to wa Sou Iu Koto (really touching Fudoumine song. :D I loved it even better when Shinji was singing it as a solo~).
*goes off to listen to all of them*
I basically like... 1) School songs. 2) several solos (especially Fuji and Tezuka's because they have such pretty songs) 3) songs about Echizen (I don't like most of the songs he sings himself, haha). I don't like the huge group songs... unless they have lots of solo parts where we can tell apart people's voices.
11 A character you wouldn't mind dating
Yagyuu. Maybe. If he truly were a gentleman. But I think I would actually like dating someone like Yuuta better. Someone I could tease. XD; I think I had the most fun with his path in Gakuensai no Oujisama (because he was so cute~). But he might be a little clueless. Maybe someone more thoughtful...
12 The team and/or character you can relate to the most
Sakuno. =x My shyness at one point was so terrible...
Ryoma, with how he's pretty much clueless outside of tennis. I'm much the same, except it's outside of schoolwork. >__> I also like to sleep in like him. XD
Yuuta. Because we both have older brothers who've influenced our life a lot.
13 The team that should have beaten Seigaku
Rikkai. The first time they played each other. It wouldn't have affected Seigaku's entry to Nationals, and Seigaku could have (instead of beating everyone a second time), made a comeback instead.
14 The team you would join if you were a prepubescent Japanese male tennis player
Probably Rokkaku's if I wanted a chance to play. XD; I doubt I would be able to get on the team in more competitive schools. I would be so stressed out by the ranking matches, getting dropped from the regulars for losing, getting slapped in Rikkai...
Fudoumine and St. Rudolph probably wouldn't be too bad either, though boarding schools are not for me in St. Rudolph's case. If it weren't a boarding school, I'd probably choose St. Rudolph... Shitenhouji is too crazy for me, and Higa is a bit...
Now that I think about it, Seigaku's team is actually fairly normal. I think I wouldn't mind just being another member at Seigaku. XDDD
15 Your favorite team coach
Yukimura
16 Your favorite character song
Everyday by Sengoku (Toriumi Kousuke)!! Absolute favorite, oh man. I used to have it on repeat. Actually, I have another equally favorite song, Jirou's Best of Rival Players song, Against Wind (Ueda Yuuji). SO MUCH LOVE. I had it as my ringtone for a while.
I also have tons of other favorites, most of Ryoma's songs like Across my Line and Dreaming on the Radio, LASER BEAM by Yagyuu (I love the la-ser beam la-ser beam chorus), Hajimari wa Ecstasy by Shiraishi (his seiyuu's cute!), Ichi Fuji, Ni Taka, San Nasu by Nasu (Taka and Fuji duet~, love Kaida Yuki's voice), Koko de Bokura wa Deatte Shimatta by Fuji and Tezuka (it's a pretty Fuji and Tezuka duet), Emerald Rain by Yukimura (I love a lot of his songs)...
I also like Blood by Yuuta and Two of Us by Tanaka Kouhei and Youhei. :3
17 Your favorite outfit worn by Atobe or Mizuki
I have no idea. XD; The only one I remember off the top of my head is Mizuki's purple rose shirt, pfttt. But I wouldn't say it's my favorite. XDD It's just very memorable.
18 Your favorite episode/part of the story that doesn't involve a tennis match
The bike stealing episode. Ryoma and Shinji fighting over grip tape. :D
The It's a Date episode. So hilarious, the rumors...
Karupin's adventures. <333
19 A match that should have happened, but didn't
Ryoma versus Nanjirou at the end of the series! I wanted more closure with that thread...
Perhaps another Ryoma versus Tezuka, with Tezuka telling him to become the pillar of Seigaku. Though I've always wondered how that was supposed to work when Ryoma keeps leaving for America.
20 Your pick of seven players that you'd love to be on a team together
I've made plenty of teams in the Prince of Tennis PS2 game, Form the Strongest Team. XD; I've already satisfied pretty much all I want to see. XDD
Singles 1 Echizen Ryoma
Singles 2 Kirihara Akaya
Singles 3 Fuji Yuuta
Doubles 1 Hiyoshi Wakashi - Kiraku Yasuyuki
Doubles 2 Ibu Shinji - ???
LOL, I just threw all of Ryoma's second year rivals on the same team. Maybe I should stick Kintarou somewhere. That'd probably work. Two first years and a bunch of second years. XD;
21 The character that is most like you
Ah, I think I sort of covered this in the question where I tried to answer about which character I related to the most.
I really don't know though. I feel I'm a lot like Sakuno, haha... Asuka(?) or someone else mentioned last last year that maybe I'm a little like Saeki. Friendly but still commanding when necessary. Ahhh, if only. ;)
Sometimes I feel I'm a little like Yagyuu, which makes me start thinking if I like him because he's like me... that then makes me think I'm very narcissistic, lol.
22 A team and/or character you used to dislike but now like
Higa. I didn't know them too well before![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
twistserve_tcg. XD; Same goes for Shitenhouji actually! I didn't follow the Nationals arc too closely when they were being introduced, so I couldn't get the characters straight at all. Now I know who they all are, and I like Shiraishi, Kenya, and Kai a lot~
I also used to dislike Fuji. A lot. =/ Thought he was way overrated, ahhhh. But his matches were truly great. I feel he grew much more as a character than most others...
I didn't like Tezuka much either, but I started liking him a lot after he ran into Miyuki.
23 A character you'd love to have as your sibling
Yuuta. XD;but wait, I wouldn't mind having him as my boyfriend and my sibling??? that kind of does not compute...
Ryoma maybe, or maybe not. He'd be such a handful.
Chitose seems like he'd be a cool brother. :3
24 Your favorite tennis move
Laser Beam <333333333
I cannot get enough of this move.I teach it to everyone in the PS2 game
I also had an icon of it, but that icon is currently in limbo since only 50 or so of my icons show up at the moment, haha...
Laser Beam is so deadly and fast and hard to counter. I love it.
25 Your favorite buchou and/or fukubuchou
Sanada and Yukimura. :DDD
At times, I often forget that Sanada is a fukubuchou... he was quite a tough leader in Yukimura's absence.
Actually, I also quite adore Akazawa and Minami. Poor, forgotten buchou. Both are kind of outshone by other people on their teams. Akazawa by Mizuki (he's the one in control of the team most of the time...). And Minami just has very weak presence.
26 Your favorite doujinshi/fanfiction/other non-canon work.
I love Negahyst's doujinshi as well as Satoumizu's doujinshi. Because of their Tenipuri doujinshi, I've started following their original work too. At least I tried. XD;; Yamamoto Kana's series, di[e]ce has already ended (way too soon...). I don't think Shinigami Doggy has gotten very far yet. Satoumizu's original work is so weird. I think it's only two volumes. (of crack) XD;
Negahyst's Tenipuri doujinshi is so pretty.
Satoumizu's is full of crack. XD;
27 The plot of a dream novel you liked or would like if it existed
Uhhh, I think the Tenipuri dating games do a fairly good job with this already. XD;
But I would love it if Form the Strongest Team became some kind of dream novel/dating game where everyone's striving to form teams and you run into the teams from time to time. Would be interesting to see who ends up on the same team.
28 The doubles pair that has the most questionable sexuality
Probably Koharu and Yuuji since they openly flirt. And continue it whenever they show up.
29 A character whose backstory you want to know more about
Yagyuu. <333 And how he got into tennis or on the Rikkai team...
And pretty much all the minor characters because no one gets enough backstory!!
I guess PairPuri and fanbooks do fill in some of the missing story, but it'd be nice to see it in the actual story.
30 A series that you think would make for a great crossover with TeniPuri
I must have thought Hikaru no Go would make a great crossover since I even went and wrote it (but never finished it). Other sports series would make great crossovers too.
I started reading a YYH x Tenipuri crossover, and I AM IN LOVE. I didn't think something like this would work? XD;
That was long. My goal this weekend - finishhelp_japan stuff and write more for 31days_exchange. I keep getting pressured to play Pokemon, but I doubt I'll get around to it. XD;;; (It took me one week to take the plastic off, another week for me to insert it into my DS... now I'm finally at the first town, lol! this will take me forever). Don't think I'll be getting around to fanbook again. =/
01 Your favorite team and/or character
Rikkai all the way. Before Rikkai, I didn't have a favorite team and pretty much just rooted for Ryoma all the time. I also like all of the second year rivals of Ryoma, like Shinji, Yuuta, Hiyoshi, Kirihara...
