Well that was pretty brutal. Only managed 7/10 and a few of those were just good guesses.

I got some complaints that the last one was too easy, so I threw some haymakers on this one. Next time I'll take it easier on you. Smile

Oh don't get me wrong, I thought this was great. That spoiler[arena] one especially is absolutely killing people, it's amazing.

Edit: Threw spoiler tags on just in case.

Watching Malcolm in the Middle paid off.

Got 7 out of 10, too, due to not knowing how to tell apart different seasons of Slayers and versions of El Hazard, nor what the hell Nazca is (even though I recognized the headband guy from Malcolm in the Middle's opening). Nice challenge.

8/10. And one of the two I missed was the Hazard choice. Not too shabby. I approve of the increased difficulty Zac. As long as there's never a Gandalla question, you'll stay on the right side of old and obscure.

I got 8 out of 10. Missed El Hazard and Slayers. Marmalade boy and Hana yori dango are the easiest.

Not gonna lie: El-Hazard and Slayers got me. I had it narrowed between the correct answer and one of the wrong answers, and picked the wrong on both. The others were easy peasy for someone who ran the anime club back in the late '90s and early 2000s, but watching entire franchises at one time did not help me on those two.

I got one I positively identified (that particular episode of Slayers is one I have re-watched several times), and one (the Arc the Lad/Lodoss War/MKR/Ruin Explorers choice) that I identified by process of elimination (that is, I was sure I would have recognized it if it were from one of the other shows). Missed all of the rest of them.

4/10 Sad

Just barely recognized two of them thanks to screenshots I saw long ago, and the other two were just very lucky guesses.

6/10.

Mad I feel like a failure for getting some wrong. Most of aren't even favorites of mine, others I've never heard of, and I couldn't remember which seasons of El-Hazard or Slayers those snapshots are from.
