As a distraction from other... stuff (see locked posts for background) I'll be doing a thirty days meme similar to the ones that
angriest,
stephen_dedman, and
possbert have been doing. I've found
one list of topics but too many cater to a style of anime fandom that just isn't me. So at this stage I'm looking for is suggestions for topics to drop and topics to add.

As you can see several of those topics are (from my grumpy old fan perspective) just "eww" which is why I'm asking for help with new topics.
EDIT: I'll be updatting this as I take suggestions on board. :)
And for the record, coming up with challenging topics that will be hard to answer counts as helping in this context.
Or maybe "A really obscure anime worth digging out of the archives".
Are there any topics you'd drop or run far away from?

2) You may want to add a definition for the terms that not everyone knows; I would certainly count as an anime fan but I don't know "yandere" off the top of my head, for instance.
3) Instead of "favorite Pokemon" which limits it to ONE of the "summoned/owned monster" shows, you might want to just say "'mon" and make clear that it's for any of those type of shows.
4) Favorite five-team?
5) Best BGM?
2) The "yandere", "tsundere", and "moe" questions are currently on the list to be dropped. Otherwise I'd agree with you, and would post links to the relevant tv tropes page.
3) Possible but at the moment I'm inclined to leave it as is and give an answer along the lines of the classic review of Bubblegum Crash...
4) Ooh, there's a thought!
5) Also worth looking at.
Thanks for the suggestions for inclusions, do you have any particular suggestions for things to drop?
But dear GOD man, don't link to TVTropes! You'll lose people forever at that point. They'll be gone, never to return, lost in a twisty maze of little webpages.
As for linking to TV Tropes, I consider that part of my credentials as an Evil Overlord. :)

Least deserving character.
Character you'd most like to slap.
Animation studio you'd most like to slap.
Best fan video based on an anime.
Have I already culled the worst questions or are there still some that you'd ditch?
Favourite harem anime I would ditch.
Favourite school uniform too.
Favourite boys love couple / yuri love I see you've left in while cutting out favourite, presumably het. couple. I would posit cutting out couples altogether or just have " Favourite couple of whatever sexes" or favourite love story/interest.
You have "Favourite shoujo" but no "Favourite shounen" Either have none or both.
This is just me, mind.
Another question:
Anime you were predisposed to and wanted to like but ended up hating.
Favourite school uniform was always on the chopping block: it is an aspect of anime I tolerate rather than look out for.
If pressed to keep it I would almost automatically subvert the question by picking the boy's uniform worn by Utena.
