This fill-in-the-blank %anime quiz is quite hard, but I had double the score that Steven did.
(Okay, so I had two right. And one was from Last Exile, which I just finished last night.)
It’s a toughie.
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
Games and the Fear of Death
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
Batman: Arkham City
A look back at one of my favorite games. The gameplay was stellar, but the underlying story was clumsy and oddly constructed.
Raytracing
Raytracing is coming. Slowly. Eventually. What is it and what will it mean for game development?
My Music
Do you like electronic music? Do you like free stuff? Are you okay with amateur music from someone who's learning? Yes? Because that's what this is.
It is. Lots of Gundam details, and a fair number of seiyuu details.
I had 19.
I’ve never watched any of the Gundam shows, and I’m not very good on seiyuu…
7.
Six. Got all the Ranma questions right, I think…
13, counting Sugita Tomokazu as Kyon in MOHS (#47). Because he just is. Incredible voice work. Only the 2nd seiyuu, after the Hayashibara, whose name I’ve ever bothered to learn.
His by-turns cynical, outraged, and despairing delivery is absolutely what makes that show the winner it is. Without him, it would still be weird and fun, but lacking his vocal chops for the narrative internal dialogue it just wouldn’t be in anywhere near the same class.
I got two as well — And both are about anime series that I don’t care for (Full Metal Alchemist and Inuyasha). Given the number of Gundam questions as well… I take it as a sign of good taste having scored so low.
3, and I’m surprised that it I got so high a score.
I notice that there are no questions about, say, Lain, or Cardcaptor Sakura, or even Sailor Moon. I’m tempted to put together my own trivia quiz, focusing more on anime worth watching and less on recent series I have no interest in.
That would just prove what I got out of TJ Han’s quiz in the first place: that the questions are based mainly on personal preference – what he’s interested in. To say that they’re “recent series” is unfair, because the list spans more than 25 years and doesn’t skew too heavily towards super recent.
I would say quite a bit of the stuff he mentioned is good but, hey, that just proves it’s preference, rather than a more general anime quiz.
someone should do a Haibane Renmei quiz.
Three, although I have to count #1 despite leaving off the “3”. C’mon, now I have the music stuck in my head, it counts! The others were #44 (I’ve never seen it spelled that way, though) and 47 (Yuki, though it’s really a matter of taste).
I got 1 1/2…
I don’t think asking about Emerelda from Xenogears was exactly fair in an anime quiz. Honestly, who but a Xenophile is going remember about a second tier character from a 1998 PSX RPG?
And having not seen Advent Children, I did not realize that Cloud’s new bike was named Fenrir and not the old Hardy Daytona.
I have 3 right…. man that was a tough one!
14… too much seiyuu stuff. Besides, I’d go for Midorikawa Hikaru over Jouji.

Seconded. Also, no Gundam ones :P
7, all on ones I’ve seen on cable TV in canada.
I got 12
Lots of shows I haven’t watched yet, there. It’s a bit scary that I actually remembered the name of Kenshin’s ultimate move, though >_<
The answer to question 67 should’ve been Norio Wakamoto. There is nothing more manly than him.
Dear god I only got 8 thats pretty sad TT_TT
Since this is trivia that mostly pertains to things I’ve never heard of, I only got 2 right.
Among the names mentioned, I recognized Death Note, Gundam, Inuyasha, and Haruhi. However, I failed to recall the name of the inanimate object that Inuyasha carries, or the type of weapon mounted on a specific part of the primary Gundam suit of a specific character in a specific Gundam series.
I was also perplexed at question 47, “What is the best character in Suzumiya Haruhi no Yuuutsu?”. Does the author of this quiz mean to say that what’s “the best” can be an objective fact? Surprisingly, I got this one right (it’s Yuki).
57 right. (I know, I need a life)
EDWARD ELRIC IS THE FULL METAL ALCHEMIST NOT ALPHONSE!!! ANGER!!! STUPID CRAPPY TEST!!! Do I get bonus points for correcting the test?(I still didn’t get the question, at which I quit due to RAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!)
