    Animation Does The Drawing Matter?

    I mostly vote for originality over attractiveness. Sometimes pretty graphics matter to me - at least I want some sort of consistency when it comes to faces - but unless I get a good story, it won't matter in the long run. Maybe that's why I can still be entertained by really old animation...

    Is Kuroko no Basket better than Slam dunk?

    I love Slam Dunk! I think my only problem with it was the constant time dilation when the characters are explaining stuff hahaha! Are the extraordinary abilities in KnB something like the stuff in Prince of Tennis?

    Books Haruki Murakami

    I have Murakami on my 2015 to read list. Still not sure which books to pick out. I read 1Q84 last year and thought it was great. The only problem I had with 1Q84 is it got a little repetitive at times. Which book would you recommend?

    Music Music you can't stand

    I thought Lil Wayne's rap is so much more annoying.
