I also used to simply battle with the "no legendary Pokémon rule" and often still avoid those. xD It's kind of a habit. I'm still very new at using tiers and clauses. There are multiple VG Course teachers. You can either PM them on the site or contact them on Skype. Let me know what's easiest for you if you're interested!
I actually only saw the first episode of Clannad. It was a while ago, but I thought it was quite funny and a nice show. I'm planning to watch it again soon with [smod]Ice Arceus[/smod]. We sometimes try to watch episodes at/around the same together so we can talk about it as we watch it. xD
Daimao is really short, but it was really fun to watch.
I definitely recommend it, especially since it hardly takes any time to watch it.
I actually thought the same when I watched those shows as kids. They were dubbed in the Dutch language (foreign kid shows usually get dubbed in the Netherlands and other foreign shows/series generally get subbed) and I wasn't that aware of it. I guess the fact they ate with chop sticks all the time in DBZ should have given it away. >_>
I think Erza is my favourite character in Fairy Tail, just because she's always so dominant and awesome! xD
Edit: I also love the vocaloid song you gave to Luke (Scorched Feathers).
I always make him send me links to songs on Skype, lol. Vocaloid is awesome.
