'Slayers' or Googling for Anime Dolphins

You are most like:
Deep Sea Dolphin



You have a mysterious nature that makes others distrust you. You also tend to be aclectic in nature, and possibly slighly missing some screws. You're passionate about some things, but retreat at others. You tend not to make friends easily, and others view you as odd.


Actually I am like something else from Slayers, and the text appears to written at Internet Standard Age Level* of 1.

What this does underline is the dearth of anime dolphins out there. Ok, yes there is Marine Boy, and there was a dolphin in Inspector Gadget once (but it does not count as anime. close though), but apart from that... nothing. You will find plenty of hamsters, cats & dogs a plenty, even lizards get a good airing. No dolphins though. Pity. They are a bit difficult to draw anime style, mainly due to their lack of frontal binocular vision - a crucial component of anime style drawing.

My answers did not result in that selection, but since I did a Google Image search for 'anime dolphins' that is what I got back. Link number one (shown below), the thought of which is terribly cute, does not count, they have to be real dolphins, not inflatable.



Bear's Brother, a notorious Slayers fan, may be able to explain all this.

Though on thinking about it, maybe not.

*I have just invented the Internet Standard Age Level. It is 12, as in 12-year-old. Thus an ISAL of 1 means written by twelve-year old (or appears to have been written by a twelve year old). I have an ISAL of 0.3529
