Sorry, not going to accept that.

Assuming Calathan was on the right, I'll try to get a cheap point then. I'm not sure though. spoiler[MAL has her as Akiko Tachibana while on ANN its Shion Tachibana. I believe that's the same person. From some season of Anitore EX.]

That's right. spoiler[Akiko] is her real name while spoiler[Shion] is her self given chuuni name.

Calathan's guess was literally spoiler["Convenience store employee"] which would be fine if she was a mob character, but she's one of the mains.

Anidb has those as separate characters, and Shion's hair color looks a little different, but I'm betting they are the same and anidb is just confused. If they hadn't had almost this exact image pictured as someone else, I might have gotten the right answer. I'm betting she wasn't credited by name in episode 1 or something like that, and the sparkles just through me off on the hair.

In the first episode you'd think she was just some toss away extra but episode 8 reveals her true identity.

And I'm ending this round. I'll have the new round up in a bit, and the scores tallied soon. The next game image is Cam0's.

Link to the new round.

This round's scores:



Vaisaga grabbed the lead early and selfishly guarded it. Calathan came within a few at one point, but couldn't maintain the momentum.

Whaaaaaat I actually made double-digits? I did like poop this round, I didn't think I'd gotten more than five Shocked Unlike most rounds, it wasn't that I missed a lot of pics I could've gotten, but for some reason there just were so many characters I didn't know, really expected a way worse showing.

The top-3 players got half of all points awarded this round (88/177)

The rich get richer... Wink

Oh, nice. That's a new record for me. I did feel like I was doing really good this round, grabbing so many of those easy pics. So it's not like I'm good at the game, I just don't have anything better to do. Laughing

Great to be back on top, though honestly surprised my lead was so big. 28 seems like a low number for Calathan...

This was a tough quarter for me with only 2 correct guesses. For once, however, there were only 2 cases where I missed characters that I knew. Most of the characters this time where from shows that I have never seen.
