Name That Anime~!

Missa · Name That Anime~!

I figured there should also be an anime guessing thread, can never have too many guess threads. <3

Same as the manga one, guess what series the screenshot I post is from. The winner posts the next one... etc

Rules:

If no one guesses the image within a day, give some hints. The hints should be posted in the post with the picture, and, if there are new posts, also in a new post. If there aren't any new posts, you could either delete the post and re-make it adding the hints (and that way, we can see there's a new update in the topic) or just modify it (and those interested in the game can check it out).

If someone wins and doesn't post an image within three days, it's automatically open. That means anyone can post an image. A first-come, first-serve sort of thing.

List of animes posted! (In case you're curious. You can re post animes if you like!) ^^;

Spoiler:

Molenir

Telepathy Shoujo Ran

Not really sure how this is supposed to work, but what the heck... Heres something from an anime.

Fye

Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran? (a.k.a Ran the Samurai Girl)

Molenir

Good guess, absolutely right.

Fye

Yey! (I really hated that series XD)

Molenir

Really? I liked it. And that is Sayonara sad Sensei. Aka, Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Pretty sure its from the first series, and not Zoku.

Try this one.

Missa

I have like no idea what that's from. =(
I want to say Kekkashi or something along those lines but I know it's wrong..

Molenir

Ah, I'll give you a huge hint then. He just saw a couple girls naked.

nanachan

Could it be Amaenaideyo?!

Molenir

That is correct! A fun, if slightly perverted anime. Never have gotten around to watching the sequel, but the original was watchable. At least for me.

nanachan

My turn!

Molenir

Thats one I definitely don't recognize offhand. Is it one of the main characters?

perch

Detroit Metal City? Did that have an anime? Am I just projecting my Kiss nightmares...

nanachan

Yes, it's Detroit Metal City. Perch wins! That's the lead guy in the Kiss makeup. Yup, it's out this year.

Edit: I'll highly recommend this anime. It's hilarious! The lead is a nerdy guy who is embarrassed to be leading another life as the lead of Japanese death metal band.

perch

Okay my turn!

nanachan

It's Dirty Pair!! Does it count as cheating if I asked my husband? Hee Hee...he watches more anime than I do.

Molenir

Doh! I knew I recognized those girls. Not a fan of that particular anime, but have seen it before.

nanachan

Kay, I'm posting this on behalf of my husband since he's the one who guessed it.

Edit - I think we need some clues

Clue 1 - Genre: Action, Fantasy

Clue 2 - Ranked #1 Shounen series in year 1989

Clue 3 - Earliest form of anime which has transformation

perch

Is that Ronin Warriors? If so I used to watch that on tv after Sailor Moon.

Molenir

I don't have any idea what it is. I never watched anime back then, well, Akira, but never watched Sailor Moon, or transformers or anything else like it.

nanachan

Oh no... I did tell my hubby that most of you might not have seen it. Though he did mention that it's around the same era as Dirty Pair. He's an avid fan of animes.

Here's the sypnosis copied from wikipedia -
Set in a parallel world called "Tenkūkai", which exists alongside Earth, evil forces known as the Asura Gods threaten to overcome the forces of good, causing the magical leader of this realm to transport warriors from Earth to their world. It was heavily based on Hindu and Buddhist mythology, and covered a range of topics, including brotherhood, reincarnation, camaraderie, Interdimensional travel, destiny, and spirit magic.

This is as straightforward as cut-n-paste into google

The first to google and post the name gets to be the winner!

perch

Legend of Heavenly Sphere Shurato

nanachan

Yupe~ that's one of the names. Or you can call it "Tenku Senki Shurato". So it's your turn, Perch!

perch

Ooh I've never seen that one...I actually really have a soft spot for 80's & early 90's anime and love hunting it down and watching it.

Here's one from an anime that came out within the last couple of years. *hopes for second season*

Missa

Rental Magica...?

perch

Yup, Missa's turn.

Missa

I remember because I loved the ending songs. Ah I miss that anime it went by too fast T_T.

Here is the next one.

Hint:
-2007
-24 Episodes
-Sci-Fi

Fye

Missa, could you please give us a hint?

Missa

Hint~

Haru

Is it Terra e.../Toward the Terra?

Missa

Yup, that's correct. Your turn~

Haru

Ok then...

8D

Missa

Kyo Kara Maoh?

Haru

Yup, yup~ Your turn

Missa

This one should be pretty easy.

perch

Shugo Chara?

Missa

Yup~

perch

One of the more facepalm worthy scenes in this anime.

Missa

Agh, I have no idea. It looks older like pre-2000.

Iaia

Could it be Wedding Peach?

perch

@ Iaia

It is. Your turn.

Iaia

What about this one?

Molenir

This would have to be Twelve Kingdoms. Really liked that show, at least until episode 30 or so. Seemed like they should have quit there.

Iaia

Correct!! I loved this show too, and in my opinion it didnt have a good end...

Molenir

Should be an easy one, though I used a slightly harder screencap to make it a bit harder.

lynzajw

Aishiteruze Baby?

Missa

Wow you beat me too it, I was about to post then phone rang. lol

Molenir

Yeah, Aishiteruze Baby is correct! Knew it was an easy one, tried to make the screen cap a little harder while still showing one of the 2 main characters.

Anyway, Lynz, you're up.

lynzajw

I didn't actually make it past the first episode of that series... I really didn't like the manga and the anime wasn't impressing me so I just gave up.

Insanely easy but so cute that I just couldn't stop myself...

Missa

Ouran Host Club!

lynzajw

Indeedesu! Your turn, Missa!

Missa

Yay, I love the twins. <3

Okay, I hope this one isn't too hard.

Molenir

Is that Aegis of Uruk Tower of Druaga?

Missa

Correct! Your turn.

~Ah, I've only seen the first 5 or so episodes of that series. Looked amusing.

Molenir

Ok, sorry for the delay. Here it is.

Missa

Um I know this one...The little vampire neko girl...

Moon something! agh! *refuses to google*

Tsukuyomi? <.<;

Molenir

Very close, but I can't give you credit until you actually get the name right. Go ahead, google away.

Missa

Tsukuyomi -Moon Phase-

Molenir

That is correct! Good call

Missa

Here is the next one. <3

Molenir

Ghost Hunt

Missa

Correct.
Wow we need to get more people to play...

Molenir

Here you go. Might be a little hard because of the unusual screencap.

Edit by Mod: Please, don't double post. Thank you ^^

Hmm, no one has guessed at all yet.

Ok, so heres a clue that should help, but hopefully won't just give it away...

Based off a manga, about a young girl who comes to school one day, and tells her friends that she's become a ---.

Since no one has guessed, I'll go ahead and give a huge clue. The story is about a middle school girl, who comes to school one day, and tells her friend, she has become a god. You might think shes crazy, except it happens to be true.

Missa

Kamichu?

Molenir

Kamichu is correct!

Fye

Ok, I'm going to make a new rule:
If no one guesses the image within a day, give some hints. The hints should be posted in the post with the picture, and, if there are new posts, also in a new post. If there aren't any new posts, you could either delete the post and re-make it adding the hints (and that way, we can see there's a new update in the topic) or just modify it (and those interested in the game can check it out).
But please, please, don't double post. There are other ways of notifiying a new post without double-posting. The rules also apply to the Name That Manga! thread.

Thank you ^^

BTW, I'm adding the rules to the first post also so that no one forgets them.

Missa

Here is the next one!
