Volleyball, as of now. If you asked me about it like 6 years ago I'd have said football without a shadow of doubt... It just doesn't interest me anymore.

Sorry for the delay, fellas.

[mention]Fearless 2k19[/mention] -- DBZeta is my favorite one, I'd say. I've had an incredible time here and although it isn't on its best periods regarding activity, I like it so much that I want to do everything I possibly can to help activity-wise and hope to be around until its last breath. Neo is the runner up.

[mention]TheallpowerfulPuiPui[/mention] -- Would have to say the one from my country, called Alfredo Rollo. I think his voice matches Vegeta's demeanor perfectly and it's the one I grew up listening to. Tbh with you, I don't like Vegeta's Japanese VA in regards to Vegeta all that much... Maybe I'm kinda biased since I wasn't firstly exposed to DB subbed, but I feel the one from here is just perfect.

Have you ever heard of the anime/manga Saint Seiya (I believe it's known in Brazil as "Os Cavaleiros do Zodiaco")? From what I gather, it holds similar popularity within Brazil's anime/manga community to Dragon Ball, so it'd be interesting to know if you're familiar with it.

Yep, have heard about it a lot. Curiously my cousin picked it up to watch some months ago due to it being his childhood's series/anime, and the DB fandom around here loves to compare Saint Seiya's characters to DB lol. But I still never stopped to watch it. Is it worth? I love the opening though, great melody and with the Brazillian's singer vocals it sounds awesome.

I'd say it's worth it depending on what you're looking for. It relies heavily on many Shonen tropes that damage its potential such as resolve haxes, twist survivals and the like, but it at least handles them better than other series due to explanations on how the core of its power system works and it shines fairly well when it comes to the character writing of several main and supporting characters. Worthwhile if looking for something fun with a Greek mythology motif, though far from top tier and probably not the best for a long investment if juggling other series considering the anime is 114 episodes (144 including the Hades Arc OVAs) and the manga is 28 volumes. As for whether to read or watch it, the manga has more of a consistent plot, but the anime has better art when it comes to the faces of the characters, so it comes down to whether or not the plot or spectacle becomes more immersive within it for you.

Ic. It being somehow related to Greek mythology triggers my interest, but it not being top notch will likely not sway me to watch or read it as it's a fairly time consuming investment due to its length. Is the OST from the original anime good? Old animes in general are very good at crafting memorable OSTs such as DB and most notably, imo, AnJ.

The ost of the anime is great, with it being perhaps just a step below the quality of the Kikuchi score of DB/Z. It has a good mix of orchestral tracks with the occasional more modern instrument such as guitars, making it one of the strongest aspects of the anime.

Ic. Well, I'll finish Battle Angel Alita and may give it a go, perhaps. Although I still haven't watched or read FMA and this is one mangas fans just can't go without. So I think I'll go for FMA:B firslty coupled with Seishokuki that Kenshi recommended and then pick Saint Seiya apart.

Would you rather sleep with Bolsonaro or Benito Mussolini? Non-sexually, just in the same bed. This bed:

but this comfy mattress

Would you rather 1 litre of custard every day for a week or wash your hair in strawberry jam for a week?

Would you rather live in Brasilia or Manaus?

Damn, tough question. Bolsonaro is less crazy though, so him.

I like this dessert, so I'd pick 1 litrle of it everyday. Not that I need my hair decently looking since I'm not leaving home but strawberry jam is gross.

Brasilia since the city does possess a higher infraestructure. I'd like to spend some temporary time in Manaus though, like a month or two. The North region is one I have never gone to.

Are there parts of Brazil that don't speak Portuguese?

Do you know who Vitor Belfort is?

Have you been to the South of Brazil? Is it much colder there than where you are?

Have you seen the Amazon river in person?

Are there many tourists in your town or city?

There's said to be some native tribes on the North region that has never had any contact with the white man, so yeah.

Yeah, one of the biggest names in Brazillian mma. Fought against both Anderson Silva and Jon Jones, the latter two of which are, arguably, the best of all times. It's too bad that he didn't keep grip of Jones when he had him on that armbar, he got so close.

Yeah, I've been to the South quite a few times. I have parents living there, so that facilitates my trip to there as well. And that's the thing, the South is hit by a hellish heat during summer but it's the coldest region of Brazil during the winter. I remember I've been to Rio Grande do Sul in 2007, in a winter (we went there with the full intention of getting the full of the winter) and that's likely the coldest I've ever gotten. In my last day there our car was completely covered by the ice. It's too bad we didn't get to see snow though. I remember it reached 7 below 0 the last day... damn, why didn't it snow?

I haven't seen the Amazon river. I've yet to travel to North. It's something I'm willing to see though.

Not in my city in particular, although our neighbor city attracts some mainly due to its famout "rock pubs". The city is even called by some as the "rock city". But it isn't per se a city famous for having many tourists, even moreso from outside the country. I think I've never been approached by a foreigner.

Gotta go with coke. I love the flavor of it and I feel more energized whenever I have a hit of it. Pepsi would come second but it still can't quite substitute a good cold coke.

If you had to have the hairline of any non-human, extant animal, which would you choose?

Are there regional languages in the mountains?

How popular is volleyball in Brazil?

After soccer, which is the most popular sport? MMA? Volleyball? BJJ? Judo? Something else?

How do you say "elecromagnetic intergalactic reverberating radiation of fluctuating wavelengths" in Portguese?

You ever mixed coke with milk and drank it? Dood cola.

You ever mixed coke with pepsi and drank it? Disgusting.

Should you stop at traffic lights in Brazil?

Have you ever left Brazil?

If you had to deport theallpowerfulpuipui from Earth to stop the real Pui Pui from coming to Earth, would you?

Hint: I am the real Pui Pui
