Guess the fandom.

[elwen]

Summarize ten of your fandoms in one sentence each, then see who reading your journal can guess each fandom.

Snagged from mergle. I'm kind of tempted to just copy 5 and 6 from hers, but I guess I should try to be creative, too. ^^;;

Oh, I know...

1. Japanese schoolboy finds himself the Destinted Something upon returning to modern day Tokyo, where several bishounen and bishoujo become his guardians and allies, and a childhood friend goes crazy and becomes his enemy.
   
   [And...]


2. A poor, no-nonsense schoolteacher in a magical world bearing many similarities to ancient China and with a bishounen for a guardian ends up in the imperial palace, where the emperor inevitably falls in love with her.
   
   [And...]


3. Japanese schoolboy finds himself the Destined Something in a magical world bearing many similarities to medieval fantasy, where a bishounen becomes his fiancé(e?).
   
   [Okay okay, I'll start being more original now. Maybe.]


4. Japanese schoolgirl is possessed by a ghost who gives her advice, and becomes one of the top in the world in her chosen endeavor, but ultimately loses to her international rival.


5. Japanese schoolboy is possessed by a ghost who gives him advice, and becomes one of the top in the world in his chosen endeavor, but ultimately loses to his international rival.


6. Japanese schoolboy discovers he's the reincarnation of someone from an ancient war, which other participants are seeking to revive by awakening his powers -- oh, and he's in love with his sister.


7. Japanese schoolboy discovers he's the reincarnation of someone from an ancient war, which other (reincarnated) participants are seeking to prevent from restarting by awakening his power.


8. Members of a motley group on a pilgrimmage take turns telling stories . . . as interstellar war breaks out around them.


9. Alchemist travels medieval Europe in search of the Philosopher's Stone, which was stolen from his family 100 years ago.


10. Gangster decides to become the best teacher ever, and thus my OTP is born. :P

...man, I think law school has taken over my brain. This kind of matching fact-patterns is just what laywers do.

ETA: I think all the answers are in the comments, now, but you're still welcome to guess without looking, and to tell me which ones you got right and/or which ones you thought were something else.

#5 is Hikago.
#7 is X.
#8 is Hyperion.
#9 is fukking duh. Unless it's not that.

7 and 9 are wrong. :P

Re: 7 - Kamui isn't a reincarnated anything. This one's actually pretty obscure. But... maybe Kamui's one of the other Japanese schoolboys on the list... :o

Re: 9 - If you think about it, "Alchemist seeks Philosopher's Stone" is actually a ridiculously generic plotline. I couldn't figure out how to balance being too general and being way too specific. But FMA isn't set in medieval Europe, and AFAIK the Philosopher's Stone doesn't exist in their world, and they definitely never had possession of it. But you should watch the series. ;P

Bah. You shouldn't be allowed to guess, because I force all my fandoms on you. XP

[ctrl-a.livejournal.com]

Yup. ^_^ Mm, shounen-ai with angst overload...

Do you think 6 is accurate? I thought I might have twisted it a bit too much to make it sound like 7. ^^;; Now, if I'd included Nazca... (But that show sucked. It just had pretty art and a cool opening.)

[smamole.livejournal.com]

Yep, it's accurate enough. At least to summarize the 3 episode anime. (Course, I think most people who know of the story will catch it for the last clause alone.)
