That's correct. I think you misspelled her name slightly though.

Sorry about that. I rushed to MAL. Since several games are out in the West, I was afraid someone'd beat me to it.

Anyways, here's the next one:

I figured that one would be hard, it has only a few views and according to a search I did, only 2 people who have played this game have it on their public lists, and I haven't seen either in a long time. That counts as a bonus hint.

Real hint:spoiler[Do those flight suits look familiar? They get recycled into Martian Successor Nadesico. One of the high level staff members on MSN had small job in this show, but it seems he had enough influence that his flight suits were in both shows.]

Is that spoiler[Satsuki Toreishi from Idol Defense Force Hummingbird]? Hopefully I picked the right character, as I haven't viewed any of that anime other than in a music video (which happens to be my favorite AMV, but which doesn't show the characters in their flight suits).

Yes it is. spoiler[Keiji Gotoh] is the staffer. He's credited with Animation Assistant but according to the source on the credit (作画協力), I wonder if it should be something more like Animation Co-operation, implying that he did something more supervisory.

There are a couple of other spoiler[Nadesico] similarities in the first episode:

spoiler[The bunny suit that Yukari wears]
Link

spoiler[The youngest sister is a dead ringer for Megumi Reinard with her hair back]
Link

spoiler[That's even the same hat Megumi wears in the episode where they leave the ship]
Link

I really thought Vaisaga was going to win, but I guess I got a bunch of images near the end of the round.

No way Laughing You totally dominate this game, Calathan. I got a couple of good streaks in but you do it a lot more consistantly.
