Guess the Anime Screenshot

[The Moody Ronin]

I guess the rules from last time are still good. With a couple of changes of course...

Someone posts a screenshot of an anime and, if they feel like it, a clue to help potential guessers. Everyone else posts guesses. 1st to get it right makes sure that a new screenshot goes up by either posting one, or passing their turn to someone else who will.

If there are no correct guesses after 3 days the ss poster either gives a new clue or passes the turn. No screenshots are to remain active longer than 6 days though.

Here's one to start off with.

Clue: The girl in the pic just found out that she's the star of a homemade video game. Her reaction is entirely justified...

[RonDo]

Welcome to the N.H.K.?

I'll be having trouble if the screenshot comes from non-domestic releases.

[The Moody Ronin]

You mean there's an english dub of that insanity?

But anyway, yup. Your go.

[RonDo]

Clue: Defending the Earth from aliens using your...guitar.

I would have wanted to get something better but I am limited to what I have to post at this time.

[Mydra]

furikuri! FLCL.

[DAMAGE]

Black Heaven ;]

[RonDo]

Black Heaven ;]

Correct! You are up.

[DAMAGE]

Here you go, easy mode, and no clues =].

[Gio Takahashi]

Death Note or is that too easy?

[DAMAGE]

You are wrong XD!

[RonDo]

Full Metal Panic! Fumofuu

[Mydra]

Hey, stop pasting shots no-one haven't seen :P

[DAMAGE]

Full Metal Panic! Fumofuu

;]

[llama_egg]

Well that's messed.

[RonDo]

Someone wanna go ahead and post one up. I am not in a good position to post one at this time.

[Mydra]

Well then, how about this. http://kuvat.smar.fi/rand/nya1.png

Too bad I can't use my screenshot collection, because here's cheaters.. Oh well.

[RonDo]

Easiest screenshot evah! ;)

Fruits Basket

Why not use some from your collection? If its just because of giveaways in the filename, just rename it.

[Mydra]

It's on kuvat.smar.fi.

Too lazy to go to find any else. I kind of knew you'd guess that instantly :P

[RonDo]

It's on kuvat.smar.fi.

Too lazy to go to find any else. I kind of knew you'd guess that instantly :P

I'll try to get one posted later tonight if another hasn't been by then. I have plenty I can pick from.

[DAMAGE]

Well, since you said, "if another hasn't been by then", then I will throw one out there.

[DAMAGE]

It's a story of a girl who has the appearance of a young girl, but is actually much older. 2 men fall in love with her, and one constantly photographs her in various ways to show how small she is, as well as calling her mousey.
Also the lead character often thinks about what would happen if he never stopped riding on his bike, and continued to travel.

[RonDo]

I is stumped.

[Mydra]

I haven't seen, either.

[DAMAGE]

There is a live action adaption of this anime. The lead female character is played by Narumi Riko, who has had roles in other JDramas such as 1 Liter of Tears, Ruri's Island, and Juken no Kamisama.

[The Moody Ronin]

I guess Honey & Clover, but only because I cheat and no one else seemed to have a clue.

[Mydra]

Damn! That's correct, I think I remember that now...

And if someone knows where this is from, please tell to me too. I'm watching this atm. And I have no idea what this is.

[The Moody Ronin]

No idea, but maybe you'll get an answer within the next three days

[DAMAGE]

What is it about?

[Mydra]

It's single file, I think ~20min long one. I don't know where it is from, so I can't really help more without futher investigations.

[Gio Takahashi]

Character's names? that usually helps with identifying the anime.

[Mydra]

I don't remember.

[llama_egg]

I don't remember.

Well that doesn't help D:

[Gio Takahashi]

Alright then, show us the anime >_>

[Mydra]

[Ayu]_Bakuretsu_Tenshi_-Infinity-_[x264_he-aac]_[74EAB946].mkv

The filename. Anyway, info about that is welcome.

[Gio Takahashi]

>_____>

As the file name suggested, it's Bakuretsu Tenshi -Infinity- (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,3952,mpwnre,bakuretsu_tensh.html), this particular 'episode' is actually an OVA, there is a regular series, called Bakuretsu Tenshi (http://animenfo.com/animetitle,1347,kvxeyy,bakuretsu_tensh.html).

In short:

Sci-fi
Girls with big guns
Giant mechs

[RonDo]

a.k.a. Burst Angel in the states. That character is Meg, who I initially thought it was..but wasn't sure.

[llama_egg]

Huh, it's burst angel? I didn't even notice

[The Moody Ronin]

Since no one else seemed to want to do it and my last turn was stol'ded anyway...

Clue - OVA of an RPG that's getting a sequel in a couple of months. The out of focus character in the bottom right would really help out if she was in focus...

[llama_egg]

I would guess Disgaea without even looking at the picture, as it's the only RPG that comes to mind that comes out in 2 months...

and that I want...

[RonDo]

Since no one else seemed to want to do it and my last turn was stol'ded anyway...

...

Wild guess..Tower of Druaga. If it winds up being Disgaea, I'll kick myself somehow since I've seen it.

[Mydra]

Powerless before games. –.–

Ronin, well, I didn't mean to stole your turn, it just happened to go so...

[The Moody Ronin]

No and no.

Powerless before games. –.–

Ronin, well, I didn't mean to stole your turn, it just happened to go so...

No big. I cheated to get it anyway.

[llama_egg]

Erm...dunno then. Tales of Symphonia?

[The Moody Ronin]

Correction, Symphonia just got a sequel. I didn't check before making my clue and was thinking that it was still a little while away.

llama's got it. Tales of Symphonia, when Collette starts off on her journey to regenerate the world. I think that that OVA (...well... the one ep I saw of it anyway...) did a pretty good job of getting the game right.

[llama_egg]

Heh, I haven't played a tales game sense...hmm...the one for the psp I believe.

Anywho, ta da! Quite an entertaining series :3

[DAMAGE]

Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei
Translation
Goodbye Mr Despair

[llama_egg]

...

Why do you know that? D:<

[DAMAGE]

Cause I like that anime =]

Here...

[Mydra]

Gantz, ne?

[Bodomi]

D'oh!
That's why it seemed so familiar.
I believe you're right.

[DAMAGE]

Indeed.

[Mydra]

http://kuvat.smar.fi/rand/tsih.jpeg

Calculating seconds before the answer...

[llama_egg]

Rabble rabble rabble, I've never watched it, but I know that I know the name. D:

[Mydra]

And Bodomi said he doesn't recognize it. :S I can't believe it.

[Bodomi]

Unless it's Zero No Tsukaima, or something, I have no idea.

[Gio Takahashi]

WHAT THE FUCK BODOMI?!

Even my girlfriend would know this one, it's her favourite. It's Tokyo Mew Mew.

And that's Ichigo.

It's even on TV 0.o, or it was on TV briefly.

[Mydra]

Hmh.

Ok, a clue: it's from mahou shoujo serie.
Double Post
Gah, Gio, bad timing :D

[RonDo]

Pretty sure I've never seen Mew Mew.

[Gio Takahashi]

0.o I'm amazed, that things been on everywhere.

[RonDo]

I guess I'll need to watch it now. *adds it to the backlog*

[Bodomi]

No WTFing, Gio. I've never watched that series.

[Gio Takahashi]

http://www.unitedempire.net/images/anime/substuff/guess001.png

someone might get this one, then again, maybe not.

[Mydra]

Somehow I think I've seen that, but I don't recognize any of characters...

[The Moody Ronin]

0.o I'm amazed, that things been on everywhere.

I never saw it either...

[llama_egg]

Huh, no wonder I didn't catch the last one, I haven't watched any of it sense, god, way before it was on the US airwaves.

And I think I might know it. Let's see if I can't scrounge up the name...

[The Moody Ronin]

someone might get this one, then again, maybe not.

I'd say...not. Though the animation style makes me wish I did...

[RonDo]

We need an answer Gio. Doesn't look like it'll be guessed.

[Gio Takahashi]

I'll give an answer tomorrow. It deals with a girl that can't be out in the sun, yet wants to see the daytime sky.

[deathofcheese]

I wouldn't happen to be one of the vampire animes on Adult Swim, would it? [/uneducated stab-in-the-dark guess]

[Gio Takahashi]

No, I don't believe that this anime has ever been on Adult Swim.

[The Moody Ronin]

I'll give an answer tomorrow. It deals with a girl that can't be out in the sun, yet wants to see the daytime sky.

Bah, wish there was enough participation so I could just draw and quarter liars... >.>

There's no clue for mine for a reason I won't give until after it's guessed or 3 days have passed.

[RonDo]

Bah, wish there was enough participation so I could just draw and quarter liars... >.>

There's no clue for mine for a reason I won't give until after it's guessed or 3 days have passed.

Fate/Stay Night is my guess.

[The Moody Ronin]

Because you actually watched that stale chocolate heart of an anime, or because I mentioned it in the Funimation thread? ;) I should make you name the character, just so I can prove that someone besides me actually watched it.

Your go.

[RonDo]

Your go.

Taiga Fujimura, and yes, I have watched it. :p

Anyways, screenshot time. Let's see..[coming soon]

[RonDo]

Not terribly easy..but here it is anyways.

[Gio Takahashi]

For the record, the answer was Sola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sola_%28anime%29)

[Mydra]

No hope with that.

[llama_egg]

Never seen D:

[RonDo]

Clue time:

Domestic release by Geneon.

[The Moody Ronin]

That doesn't help at all!

Sadists, I'm surrounded by sadists...>.>

[RonDo]

Ok, let's see if I can be a bit better with the clue.

A family of four, threated by the possibility of splitting due to divorce, is banded together when they are recruited (Galaxy Federation) to save the world using a card that transforms them into space-age soldiers for hire.

[llama_egg]

I can officially say I've never seen it.

Ever.

And Never.

[RonDo]

I'm kinda suprised more people haven't seen it but then again, it wasn't that big of a release for Geneon.

Main characters names:
Mamoru
Seiko
Nozomi
Dai

Next clue is the answer because apparently, it's more obscure than I originally thought it would be.

I also get a kick out of this show. Fairly goofy.

[The Moody Ronin]

Sounds like that one episode of Dexter's Lab...

[RonDo]

Since no one is gonna guess it, here you go.

The Daichis, Earth's Defense Family

http://traversa.typepad.com/afghanistan_without_a_clu/images/2007/09/08/daichis.jpg

Somebody else? Go ahead.

[Bodomi]

I'll take the opportunity to post one then.

[Mydra]

Pokaan?

[Gio Takahashi]

Arg you people and your vague anime.

I don't even recognize the picture.

[Mydra]

Me either. so... :P

Bodo seems to be dead :/

[Bodomi]

It is Magical Pokaan.
You go Mydra.

[Mydra]

http://kuvat.smar.fi/rand/nya3.png

Nya.

[llama_egg]

Damnit Bodomi, why oh why did you have to answer that. I found that series more then enjoyable D:

The new picture on the other hand. Clueless.

[Bodomi]

Eh, answer what? o_O

And going to do a random guess for Mydra's screenshot based on what it's been watching lately. Princess Tutu?

[llama_egg]

Answer the picture you put up, I would have had my victory! Muahahahaha!

[Mydra]

Bodomi, no.

clue: it's a movie.

[RonDo]

I've got this strange feeling that I've seen this before but I can't pinpoint it. The cat seems somewhat familiar.

[Mydra]

Gah, too hard, eh?

clue: the cat did get very little amount of screen time, but was very central character of the movie. The movie was about a girl that was got to kidnapped to ...

Enough easy now? :P

[llama_egg]

Now I know I haven't seen it D:

[RonDo]

I get a Miyazaki vibe here so I'll go with "The Cat Returns".

[Mydra]

Omedetou!

http://kuvat.smar.fi/minipics/7681nya4.png (http://kuvat.smar.fi/rand/nya4.png)

I was going to post this tomorrow as clue, but eh, your go. :)

[RonDo]

Here is one. An easy one.

[Gio Takahashi]

I have a feeling that I should be knowing this one, but I don't.

[Mydra]

I haven't seen. For sure.

Two chars front could be from some anime, but I haven't ever seen that kind of color profile anywhere. Also, that blue haired girl looks... strange. I would remember her, I think... And... Hiphop </3

[RonDo]

I haven't seen. For sure.

Two chars front could be from some anime, but I haven't ever seen that kind of color profile anywhere. Also, that blue haired girl looks... strange. I would remember her, I think... And... Hiphop </3

The series is focused on the character up front, right hand side.

[The Moody Ronin]

I know this! Just...can't remember...the name...

...^.^

Law of Ueki and I pass.

[RonDo]

I know this! Just...can't remember...the name...

...^.^

Law of Ueki and I pass.

Repped and who wants to go next?

[Mydra]

Meh, no-one?

I think someone else should once while post something, but short one... Just override it, ok?

http://kuvat.smar.fi/rand/nya7.png

[RonDo]

I haven't seen the show but I've seen this character before, I know it. In fact, I think I saw some figures on sale at an asian restaurant before.

[Bodomi]

Doremi?
Or whatever it is...

[llama_egg]

Stop posting these series damnit. They make my eyes bleed. D:

[Mydra]

Bodomi, that sounds like you checked it. Anyway, no-one else? :(
Double Post

:(

[Bodomi]

Or maybe certain someone kept spamming me screenshots of it.

Anyway, I don't feel like posting anything too obscure.
So, here.

[Mydra]

Anyway, I don't feel like posting anything too obscure.
So, here.

(Not) strange, I don’t recognize that.

Anyway, that was just short one. :P I’m not too mad to you cheater. ;)

[Gio Takahashi]

Nothing obscure huh? I don't recognize it either.

[Bodomi]

It's not obscure for me. ;_;
The anime is based on a game.

[RonDo]

I've seen my fair share of elfish characters..but this one is drawing a blank.

[Bodomi]

Let's try another screen from it.

[The Moody Ronin]

Star Ocean EX

[Bodomi]

Correct.

You may post a new one or pass your turn to someone else, whichever works for you.

[The Moody Ronin]

Gimme 3 hours. I've gotta get one from scratch and don't have the time right now.

edit: I had some time during a commerical and changed my mind on where to get the SS from, so here we are. No clues, but that's just 'cause I barely remember anything about the show to make a clue from...

[Mydra]

Now that looks familiar, but based to drawing style, I haven’t that either.
...Too eager to answer? :P /me goes away.

[Bodomi]

Ai Yori Aoshi.

Since I'm almost 100% sure that I got it...

[RonDo]

Ai Yori Aoshi.

Since I'm almost 100% sure that I got it...

Ah, Star Ocean Ex /facepalm

As for the TMR one, yeah..it is right Bodomi. It's either that one or the Enishi series.

As for your new post, no idea. I am positive I have no seen it. Trying to recognize the character drawing style and can't nail down anything either.

[Bodomi]

The one with the red background is one of the main cast.

[The Moody Ronin]

Geesh, no need to stand on ceremony around here, now is there...?

Yeah, Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi. Don't know whether the "Enishi" makes a difference or not (I know the ssed character wasn't in any of the manga that I read), but since the games gone on already, and I'd have considered Bodi's answer right anyway, it doesn't matter too much.

[Mydra]

No hope. I can’t really say anything about it. Nothing. No idea where it is from, no idea if I’ve seen that anime. Zenzen.

[Bodomi]

Another of the same serie.
This one shows what's it about too.

[Mydra]

Another of the same serie.
This one shows what's it about too.

Looks like bamboo blade.

[Bodomi]

Looks like bamboo blade.
Which it just happens to be.
You go.

[Mydra]

http://kuvat.smar.fi/rand/nya6.png

Emm, then. This. No idea if it is hard or not.

[Mydra]

Hey, it’s not that hard!
Gosh... It’s new mahou shoujo serie that hasn’t ended yet.

...I’d so like to post another pic, but too lazy to move any...

[Bodomi]

I used my awesome searching skills and reached the conclusion that it's from Shugo Chara, maybe.

[Mydra]

I’d call it to cheating, but rules doesn’t exclude it, so... Oh well. People at irc should’ve got that one, though ;P

[Bodomi]

I'm out of ideas on what to post.
Let's try this one.

[Jasmin Jaquine]

Oh oh oh!! That looks like .Hack - the most current season I believe.

[Bodomi]

I guess that will do for an answer.
.Hack// Legend of the Twilight

[Jasmin Jaquine]

And I'm at work so I can't post a screenshot...so...I nominate Bodomi to do it for me!!

[Bodomi]

And I already said that I'm out of ideas. ;_;

[Jasmin Jaquine]

I wish I knew the screenshot, cause she looks pretty, but can't say I do.

And I knew you were around cause you posted before me...soo...you seemed like a good option. I was just...challenging you!

[Bodomi]

I wish I knew the screenshot, cause she looks pretty, but can't say I do.
The whole anime looks pretty.
It got some AniDB community awards too.

Another screen to show its awesomeness.
I got it from some other forum, I'm at work now and can't take my own screenies.

[Killer_Man_]

Who makes that anime Bodi? It looks like the same people who made Basilisk. And if so, do they have dubbed?

[Bodomi]

Seems to be made by different people.

[Killer_Man_]

You still didn't say the name of it. :X

EDIT: I forgot it's guess the anime screenshot.

Please PM me the name.

[Bodomi]

Seirei No Moribito (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=4403)
May the fastest Ninja post the next one.

[DAMAGE]

Here's an easy one.

[RonDo]

Here's an easy one.

You're right about that. Golden Boy, episode 1 in fact.

[DAMAGE]

Indeed. Now you go!

[Mydra]

Meh, no-one is going to post anything...?

[Gio Takahashi]

I don't really have anything to post at the moment.

[The Moody Ronin]

Rerun time...

[Gio Takahashi]

Oh that one is familiar, but I can't seem to remember where this came from.

[The Moody Ronin]

Probably from the first time I posted it...>.>

[Mydra]

I haven’t seen that one, either. Though girl looks familiar... no idea.

[RonDo]

I fall into the same boat, I think I've seen it..then again, I don't have an answer either.

[Bodomi]

It's been quite dead around here and I don't know TMR's pic.
So I ninja.

[Gio Takahashi]

I might be wrong but, He is my master?

[Bodomi]

That, it is.
Mydra actually guessed it correctly before, but didn't bother to post about it. :p

So, you go.

[Gio Takahashi]

http://www.unitedempire.net/images/anime/substuff/vlcsnap-6047248.jpg

I don't think anyone will get thi sone, but it's been around for at least a year.

[Mydra]

Haven’t seen.

[Killer_Man_]

It sounds like a hentai of asian girls just for Gio. :P

[Gio Takahashi]

El oh el. I don't even watch hentai.

I did receive an action figure that might be from a hentai. I can't seem to identify it. of course, it's not the figure that I ordered.

[llama_egg]

Suuuure gio, sure you didn't.

[Gio Takahashi]

El oh el. I don't even watch hentai.

I did receive an action figure that might be from a hentai. I can't seem to identify it. of course, it's not the figure that I ordered.

Okay, it's an original design, not from hentai. I wasn't sure because the figure has a massive, massive cleavage. (in my blog for details)

Anyway, back on topic. No one can guess the picture, I take it?

[RonDo]

No idea whatsoever.

[DAMAGE]

Been 3 days. Give a clue out.

[Gio Takahashi]

I'll post another tomorrow morning. the answer is, Simoun.

[DAMAGE]

Should'a figured it would be one of your fan service animes.


Here, give this a shot.

[Gio Takahashi]

yeah yeah. I've only watched two episodes of it, I'm not sure if I'll really enjoy it much or not.

[RonDo]

Damage = is it Master Keaton?

Yeah, I've heard of Simoun (yuri) but never watched it.

[DAMAGE]

Damage = is it Master Keaton?

Wrong.

[Mydra]

I’m sure I don’t know that.

[RonDo]

I seek answers!

[DAMAGE]

Initial D

[RonDo]

Argh. Hmm, alright..I'll post something up tonight. I sure wouldn't mind if TMR gave the answer to his image from eons ago.

[The Moody Ronin]

...huh...what? Oh yeah...

Jinki: EXTEND (http://anidb.net/perl-bin/animedb.pl?show=anime&aid=2742). For my next trick, I'll repost the Gash Bell ss that I posted after I posted this the first time.

...oh wait... crap... >.<

[llama_egg]

WTB [Screenshot]

D:

[RonDo]

After watching some more as of late, I found an SS to use for later today. Promise.

[RonDo]

Edit: Series is called Angel Tales (in the US, Tenshi no shippo I do believe in JP) since this thread has been largely ignored now. :passedout:
