Topic: Guess that anime!

posted 07-06-2005 01:50:30 AM
After tinkering with stuff learned from recent threads I've decided to make up this quick contest: Guess the anime from the screens below. There are easy, medium, and hard ones listed here, I'd be pretty amazed if some people get the hard ones. Here are some hints though:

1: All the pictures have been taken from the serie's first episode. (Some movies are thrown in too)

2: Once an anime's been used, you won't see anything from it again on the list.

Please answer in spoiler text so people don't accidently read an answer.

Easy:

Medium:

Hard:

(?) = I kinda think that's what it is.

Easy 1 - Slayers (?)

Easy 2 - Tenchi Muyo. I hate my dad's monitor. It's too dark. Had to adjust the brightness on the picture to get this one.

Easy 3 - FLCL

Easy 4 - I really have no clue on this one.

Easy 5 - Cowboy Bebop

Medium 1 - Guessing Patlabor

Medium 2 - Akira

Medium 3 - Bastard! (?)

Medium 4 - Vampire Princess Miyu (?)

Medium 5 - ?

Hard 1 - I wanna say Martian Successor Nadesico, but I'm thinking I'm wrong.

Hard 2 - Vision of Escaflowne

Hard 3 - Neon Genesis Evangelion

Hard 4 - Trigun

Hard 5 - No clue. Guessing Berserk.

The last 3 in "Hard" are a joke. Took all of a half second to know which 3 they were.

I knew fewer in "Easy" than I know in "Hard".

Gains :

Hard 1 is NOT Nadesico. I just re-watched the entire series + movie, and I can say for sure that it isn't Nadesico.

Beyond that, the ones I know the answers to are :

Easy 2, 3, 4, and 5
Medium 4 and 5
Hard 2, 3, and 4

I know them because they're ones that I have.

Figure I'll give the answers out, most of them have been guessed anyway.

Easy ones:
Slayers

Tenchi Muyo

FLCL

Witch Hunter Robin

Cowboy Bepop

Medium ones:

Yu Yu Hakusho

Great Teacher Onizuka

Read or Die

Inuyasha

Outlaw Star

Hard ones:

S.Cry.Ed

Escaflowne

Evangelion

Trigun

Berserk

My guide for choosing the categories was to make a main character part of the easy section, although obscured or obstructed somehow. The medium section was supposed to be made up of villains to be less recognizable. I took random screens of the episode for the hard ones; something you would have no idea of if you hadn't seen it a few times.

I think I like these games.

2. I'm going to guess Kimba the White Lion.
3. Galaxy Express 999, or possibly Captain Harlock.

There is an actual part of that series called Queen Emeraldas. The Harlock Saga is separate from Galaxy Express 999 and the others. It was a movie based off The Ring of the Nibelung.
