9/10, but a few of those were process of elimination rather than recognizing the correct show (missed Nazca answer, did know the Slayers and El Hazard ones without guessing).

I recognized Slayers and Ghost Sweeper Mikami. But I did not even attempt to guess the rest because I had no clue what they were.

This confirms that beyond the big 90s titles (SM, Eva, Escaflowne, Utena, Bebop, Trigun), I have very little interest in other titles from that decade.

Blast you! Once again I am forced into inaction. The "house edge", as it were, is simply too great to play a single hand.

that particular episode of Slayers is one I have re-watched several times


Yeah, that one definitely got a "oh, that episode" reaction out of me.

Ha, got 7/10 but only with some luck and process of elimination. It is particularly interesting that while I've seen all El-Hazards multiple times, and it was one of my favorites in the nineties, I had no idea which one the screen was from (and got my guess wrong too).

edit - I also like how the article image promises an easy quiz but isn't actually featured.

Only 4 for me... Some of those options I had never even heard of.

I remembered the scene right away. Had to think about why they were there for a minute to realize which slayers it was though.

6/10 Confused
Which is pretty good to be honest considering I was only sure about 4 of them Anime smile + sweatdrop , nice job on these, I like the upped difficulty in them as well (the El-Hazard and Slayers ones completely threw me off)

Joke's on you; I really like Shadow Skill for some reason.

The El Hazard one is downright unfair, though.

I frankly guessed (some more informed than others) everything other than Shadow Skill - but that wasn't the most popular answer, so I don't know what others where I did pick the most popular answer are actually correct but I'm with the clear majority on 5 others.

Ahh, only 6/10 for me. My memory must be corroding. Sad

But yea, can't get my Slayers shows and El Hazards right.

Oh, but I enjoyed seeing Shadow Skill there! Smile It always puts a smile on my face. Of course that was the OVAs which I think got titled Shadow Skill the Movie here, not to be confused with Shadow Skill TV where Elle gets a hair color change from blonde to red. I love me Shadow Skill.

I realize it was the intention to be sadistically impossible to tell one El-Hazard series from another--
But those who don't remember that the "Idol" episode was from Slayers Next, be ashamed to be a Lina fan. Mad
("That feeling in my little breast..." "And boy, are they little.")

And suggesting we don't remember Ghost Sweeper Mikami? You wound us, sir.

9/10! HA!! Is that the best you got!! Don't make me laugh!! Very Happy Cool It would have been a straight PERFECT, but alas, who remembers Eden's Bowery?! I think I finished watching that simply for completion sakes or hopes that it would get better. Meh. Rolling Eyes

Yeah, that one was complete dirty pool, as that shot likely appeared in all of them. The Slayers one was almost as bad, but at least you could use the process of elimination with it. I mean, I'm willing to bet they reused that shot in all of them.

7/10, btw, though I second guessed myself on Eden's Bowy.

I knew only five, but there were no guesses so I do not feel too bad.

The only one that I have seen that I could not get was El-Hazard. I just could not remember which version it was from, they all kind of blend together in my memory.

I got 5/10, which is not too bad considering I've never seen any of them.
