How about an Anime Quiz?

[EricDent]

Well, since we had a pretty lackluster quiz response over on the Godzilla Community Board (for a Godzilla quiz). I was considering doing a Anime quiz.

It would have to be less than 100 questions, and can only be about shows that are availible in the USA on DVD.

So what I was thinking was to have 1 question based on each anime discussed in the "Anime Discussion Topic"

Which is (Long list)

Voltron
Thundersub
Captain Harlock
Queen Esmereldas
Galaxy Express 999
Goddanar

So it might be awhile till I narrow it down a bit, unless you guys can suggest what shows to have questions about (from that list only please).

[Kingoji]

Well, I know I'd suck at it... I haven't seen way too many of that list, and the USA has far more anime series available than the UK...

[EricDent]

Well you could always just read what we put down in the Anime Discussion Topic. Or maybe look up some info about the stuff on the list.

Let's make it a little less difficult by narrowing it down to 30 anime.

How about these shows? Please answer Yes or No for each show.
If you answer No, please say why, and suggest another title from the longer list, or a show that is availible on DVD legally.

Goddanar
Akira
Castle of Caligstro
Robotech
Maburaho
Princess Mononoke
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
Hellsing
Hellsing Ultimate
S-Cry-Ed
Ai Yori Aoshi
Ai Yori Aoshi Enishi
Paniponi Dash!
Howl's Moving Castle
Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind
Gatchaman
Love Hina
Negima! Magister Negi Magi
Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato)
Interstella 5555
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Robotech The Shadow Chronicles
Scrapped Princess
Giant Robo
Gun X Sword
Outlaw Star
Guyver
Read Or Die
Trigun
Tenchi Muyo

[Kingoji]

Here's my problem. From your list I only know;

Akira
Robotech
Princess Mononoke
Hellsing
Love Hina
Negima! Magister Negi Magi
Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi
Guyver
Read Or Die
Trigun

And not even a lot about most of them... I could maybe hold my own with the Akamatsu titles, Akira, Abenobashi and Guyver, but the others? Nuh-uh.

[Planeswalker28]

I dont feel like reading the list so are Naruto or Pokémon included?

[Kingoji]

Nope.

[EricDent]

If you want to suggest Naruto & Pokemon go ahead, some of the shows episodes are on DVD, so I guess it counts.

This is a suggestion topic for possible quiz questions (ie what show to ask questions about).

Most likely they will be pretty easy questions, since I don't plan on doing an award (those are reserved for hard quizes).

Maybe I will put a sample question.

Who is Goku's "Brother" in Dragon Ball Z The Tree Of Might?

[Kingoji]

What the **** is Dragonball?

[EricDent]

It's a really long shonnen show that was made in the early '90s. They started with the show Dragon Ball. About a young boy named Goku...eh wait why am I typing this. Better yet here is a website about it.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=243

Probably one of the most popular shows ever. Also a rather long running show.

There are many sequels to the show, 4 Dragon Ball movies, Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball GT, and 13 Dragon Ball Z movies.

The answer to the sample question is Turles, who looks exactly like Goku (enough to be his twin brother).

[Kingoji]

I really need to work on my humour.

I knew what Dragonball is, it was an attempt to say "I haven't got a clue" in a funny way...

[EricDent]

OK, yeah whatever, really darn funny, NOT!

A bit off topic. Go to Youtube and Type in Super Mario Z for an even more epic version of the DBZ show. It is really cool! The only con is that it does not have an ending...yet.

Anyways, any other suggestions for which shows the questions should be from, or should we just forget the whole thing...

[Kingoji]

Well, personally, the only shows I'd be interested in taking quiz's on are;

Akira
Evangelion
Nadesico
Love Hina
Trigun
Guyver
Full Metal Panic
Negima
Abenobashi

So, it's up to you. If you decide you cannae be bo'err'd, I could always find one online I suppose.

[EricDent]

Well that is one of the points of having a quiz, so maybe people would do research to find out more about a certain show, or movie.

I will have to work on it but I think that these shows would work, unless somebody actually suggests the programs they want questions about.

So I will do the following to make it 20 questions...

SDF Macross
Love Hina
Trigun
Negima!
Tenchi Muyo!
Abenobashi
Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets/G-Force/Eagle Riders)
Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato)
S-Cry-Ed
Scrapped Princess
Guyver (2005)
Paniponi Dash!
My Neighbor Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (OVA)
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Read Or Die (OVA)
Ai Yori Aoshi

Unless you do the following, these will be the shows for the quiz.

1: Copy & Paste the shows in a reply
2: Say Yes or No to EACH show
3: If you say No, put down what show you would like (It has to be available on DVD, non-licensed stuff need not apply)

So I give you guys a week to decide what you want on the quiz.

After that I will give you 2 weeks to research (the questions will be pretty easy though).

Then after the quiz is up, you will have 2 weeks to turn it in.

The rules for turning in:

1: It will be a PM
2: It will include ALL the answers, if you don't know, put "I don't know"
3: NO blank answers
4: NO answering in the quiz itself (probably will lock it).

This is a quiz that will determine if I will actually do another quiz (a much harder one), that includes a cool certificate for people who pass. Ask Kingoji about the Godzilla one he got recently.

[SpiritOfFire]

Ai Yori AoshiNearly everything on this list is too old/similar to eachother for me to care. The only ones I care for are s.CRY.ed, Cowboy Bebop, and Trigun.

[EricDent]

OK now it has been a lot more than a week, and no one has suggested any other shows to do a quiz about.

So therefore the shows the quiz will be about are the following.

SDF Macross
Love Hina
Trigun
Negima!
Tenchi Muyo!
Abenobashi
Gatchaman (Battle of the Planets/G-Force/Eagle Riders)
Star Blazers (Space Battleship Yamato)

Paniponi Dash!
My Neighbor Totoro
Kiki's Delivery Service
Mythical Detective Loki Ragnarok
All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (OVA)
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Read Or Die (OVA)
Ai Yori Aoshi

There will be one question from each show, which if you read any article about the show, should be really easy to answer. I will put up the questions later in another topic.

Participation is really welcome.

[EricDent]

Well the quiz is up now, and it's been about 1 week so far, so if anyone is going to do it, please don't forget to turn in your quizes.

[Bio Destroyer]

Where is it? I haven't seen a lot of those but I can try nonetheless.

Nevermind, I found them.
