Looks much more anime to me. Narue is female and obviously into computers, so its not too much of leap to think believe she's likes anime too. In that context the avatar fits nicely.

It's perfectly fine, but I liked the other one better. It made me form a perfectly unjustified opinion of her attitude that tended to tickle my funnybone.

>Narue what in the world is that Elflike chick in your avatar?
Tsuruya, one of my favorite characters from Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu.

>but I liked the other one better
Shuichi Shindou. I'm not really a fan of Shounen-ai, and the story didn't appeal to me, so I never read or saw much of Gravitation, but I found a hilarious avatar of Shuichi on DeviantArt. It was even better before I removed the animation.

I figured something that I'm a fan of rather than a random avatar was better.

That's cool. Unforutunately, when I see things like "Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuutsu" my eyes just glaze over.

yeah, like spelling errors in a professional report, anime avatars cause your credibility to go down...

BUT...narue is usually right (in (her?) defense).

I provide the correct answers. Whether or not you accept them is of no concern to me. This is the first I've heard of avatars affecting credibility, but the research sounds interesting. Do you have any references on the subject?

On that basis, the vast majority of professional reports have no credibility whatsoever.
