I finally missed one, getting 9/10. I've been meaning to rewatch Slayers Next and Slayers Try for a couple year, but haven't gotten around to it, and I forgot what season that episode was from. I also wasn't sure for the El Hazard one, though I was able to get it with an educated guess. I also got Nazca just because I knew it wasn't any of the other three choices, while all the rest I was able to recognize the series.

Anyway, I find these to be a lot of fun, so please keep making them.

I think I got 9/10, I missed Nazca (though I'm familiar with the name and the premise), and on the Slayers selection I was going through the quiz so quickly I just thought "oh yeah, that's Slayers" and just picked the first option I glanced at that said "Slayers". Razz

Just take a glimpse and only know the shoujo ones (Hana yori and Marmalade) so I decide to pass >.<
Oh, and can say for sure it's not Kaikan Phrase, but that's the extent of my knowledge...

I think i was 9 out of 10. Three I wasn't sure on. Slayers one tripped me up. El Hazard went with cause I don't know seemed right with wanderers. Nazca was guess but seem to be the only made sense.

Couldn't recognize a single one. Ha! GOML.
Same, same...I approached the survey with a "hell, yeah, just who do you think I am???" and then it became "Ohhhh...." I could tell you if it was one or the other of Slayers or El Hazard (and not Tenchi Muyo) but that's as far as it goes. Still, I managed to channel my inner nerd and got a shockingly good 5/10, don't know where the guesses came from. These weren't my style so I never watched either, so don't care. I guess I'll have to wait for a 2000's quiz.

Tell me about it. I consider myself a '90s-phile (for lack of better terminology), yet I only managed 6/10. To be fair to myself, like a lot of people, it's the specific seasons/series within series that got me.

8/10, a few guesses in there though.
Decided to look up a few of the anime I had never heard of. This stoped when I typed "Kite Anime" in google images though... Giggity.. Embarassed

Well this one broke my perfect streak. Sad Two requests tho:
1) Can we PLEASE cut with the COMPLETELY unrelated "teaser" images. Even if you don't use the specific image can you at least use the SHOW referenced in the teaser image?
2) Excellent work with the NASTY "4 different Slayers" and "4 different El Hazard" variants. I'd have maintained my streak if not for that.

Surprisingly, I got almost all of them right, but it's not because I've seen most of them; I recall most of these anime from old DVD preview trailers or because I'd seen the character art numerous times previously. spoiler[Shadow Skill] and spoiler[Nazca] are the only ones I'm not familiar with. I definitely recognize spoiler[Arc the Lad], seeing as how it's spoiler[a game I'm quite familiar with].

Considering it's been ages since I've watched any of these, I'd say getting 8 out of 10 ain't too bad. Never seen Nazca, but I've looked at screencaps of it before and sort of recognized the look of the characters from that I guess. Eden's Bowy I had seen, but wasn't all that sure about. Really surprised I actually got that one right, too.

Just missed El-Hazard and Slayers, of course, which aren't really fair IMO. I mean I've seen all of the different El-Hazrds, as well as the first three seasons of Slayers, along with all the movies and OVAs, but feels like ages ago, so there's no way I could recognize which of their seasons a single image was from now this many years later.

Knew exactly one. Sad Guessed three by elimination and lots of luck. Confused Blew all the rest.
Really should have gotten the Slayers Next one, that's from one of my favorite scenes in the show. Embarassed

I guess I'm just old because I recognized all ten without even needing to look at the multiple choice answers.
