First of all, a big thanks to JesuOtaku, our mastermind, for creating such a delightful game and its rules.
Past results can be found here: Round 1< Round 2< Round 3< Round 4< __ RULES: 1. Quote to be guessed must be in bold. Ex: "The balls are inert." You cannot bold a short dialogue. If a short dialogue is needed to give your quote meaning, you may use it, but bold only one character's part, as you can only have one character in a guess, to be fair. Ex: "What does the scouter say about his power level?!" "It's over NINE THOUSAAAAAAND!" (Yeah, two internet memes in one rule. Reaching new lows here.) 2. Whoever guesses the quote (anyone can guess!) must use spoiler tags, and name the character, the show, and either ...who the quote was aimed at, Ex: spoiler[Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z, to Gohan and friends] ...or a little blurb giving the context of the quote, spoiler[Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z, complaining about starting at square one without Dende.] ...or both! (If you wanna show off, or whatever.) spoiler[Piccolo from Dragon Ball Z, to Gohan, complaining about starting at square one without Dende.] Why the extra little context? To prevent this from becoming a google-fest, that's why. 
If a guesser does NOT enter the context, even if they are right, their guess cannot be counted until they edit it in. So, even if they have it right, someone could post right after them with the same answer, in context, and get it right. THE #3 RULES ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT, SO PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION HERE. 3a. The quote must be very distinctive, and unmistakably from one show. It doesn't have to be a "well-known" quote. (Although that would make the game go faster, which I think is more fun...) It could be an obvious line from an obscure anime, but it couldn't be something like, "Screw you, I make my own rules!" or "Thank you, nii-san! You are just my type!" It has to be something very profound or very funny that would be clear to anyone that had seen the show in question, no matter how obscure that show is. If it is something more generic, some identifier like a location or character name must be in the quote: "Shigure, you pervert, pervert, pervert!" would be fine, but it wouldn't be without the name in the quote there... 3b. Do not post quotes that are direct spoilers for a series. Honestly, this is kinda hard to do, but if you are goofy enough to do this, chances are very good that this game will get shut down, and that would suck and I would stare at you like this every day: 
However, this raises an interesting dilemma with the "context" part of the official guess. If the context for a quote is something of a spoiler... Ex: "...Bang." ...but the not the quote itself, this is how you answer: Just put who the quote is addressed to and leave context out of it. If you find this impossible or, heaven forbid, the audience to a quote is a spoiler, reply with two spoiler tags separated by a double line break, just like this: spoiler[Spike Spiegal from Cowboy Bebop] spoiler[to his stunned audience as he smiles, points, and falls over dead.] This unique kind of answer will let those who haven't seen the show in the first spoiler NOT to read the second, while allowing others, namely the judge, to check it at their leisure. If you haven't seen the show and read it anyway, it's your own darn fault. I don't know what else I can do for you.
3c. PLEASE NOTE: While it may be possible to find the answer to a quotation question through the skillful use of Google or other search engines, this defeats the purpose of the game. If you can't answer, then by all means try googling the answer -- but don't submit it as your answer. Feel free to PM the poster of the question with your answer, to show how cleverly you have prevailed on the internet to think for you. But don't claim it as your own knowledge. 3d. IF you make it horribly obvious that you have cheated via search engine, the ball will return to the poster's court. They may be nice and let you go next OR simply post a different quote themselves. This is only if there is heavy evidence that you have not seen the show and just googled it, and therefore pissed people off or something. It's just not kind, so don't do it unless: see rule #3c. 4. This should not come up, but if the general consensus from numerous posters is that your quote is extremely generic could be attributed to multiple series and characters, Ex: "I'm gonna send you straight to hell!" "I love you! I really do!" ...the game moderator (moi) will negate the quote and the turn will be up for grabs. As previously stated, please include extra lines as context to avoid this problem if the quote is ambiguous. 5. This should be avoided, but if by chance the quote in question is only heard in the Japanese or the English and isn't translated fairly closely, put "SUB:" or "DUB:" before the quote to be guessed. Again, TRY to avoid this, but with liberally translated or old anime, it happens, I know. Ex: SUB: "Dattebayo!" Ex: DUB: "Believe it!" 6. That leads me to another point. Unless it's honorific-related or can't be translated DIRECTLY, like the above example, quote in English...sillies... 
7. Clues are optional and they must be related directly to the character or situation surrounding the quote. Clues can be given at any time, and participants can also ask for clues, but make sure it doesn't exceed the limit (2 clues/day) Clues must be in spoiler tags. 8. If the quote used is one that is repeated in the same series by a different character than the poster had in mind, as in verbatim parroted, because this happens, that answer must be accepted, and either character must be considered correct. 9. A quotation being offered must come from a different source (i.e. anime series or group/franchise of anime series) than the preceding four quotations, or it becomes invalid and the "baton" passes to the first person thereafter to pose a new quotation. 10. Obviously, the person to guess correctly gets to put up the next quote. Each person gets only one guess per quote. Guess wisely! 11. If no one gets it right after 10 guesses (or if no one gets it right for 2 days, regardless of the number of guesses), ANYONE can post a quote but it’s first come, first serve. This rule shall also be observed if there is no new quote in 2 days. 12. If there is an outstanding guess (made within the time limit) that has not yet been confirmed, please be patient and wait for confirmation. If there is no confirmation in 24 hours, rule 10 will take effect. 13. After confirmation but before the next quote is posted, if everyone is bored, a minigame can be played! Anyone may post a minigame, but only one may be in play at any time. Here's how it works: the poster grabs a screenshot from an anime and the players must guess what is being said in the image. Though not required for a point, do also include the name of the speaker and what anime it is. Not all of us, um...know the answers when compiling data. 
These do count for points but do not have to be guessed, so be sure to catch them before they zip away! 14. No off topic comments or chat room speak. None. Uh-uh. Don't do it. I will smite you. 
The scoring at the end of 100 pages (if it gets that far, and these things do tend to) will be one point per correct guess for a main game or minigame quote in official play. Pretty simple, right? This game was created to be a more useful and interactive kind of quote dump and also to allow any random person an opportunity at playing, as the pic game is, by nature, going to be ruled by the most hardcore otaku. You could try to be all hardcore here...but no one will think your quote is memorable or cool. 
That being said, I hope that the difficulty will spike and dip as we play, with some more unusual quotes being mixed in with classics. All the same, they need be memorable. GO CRAZY!!! ~JesuOtaku __ |

For sake of clarity, the Rancorous has first option to post a quote or pass based on having correctly answered the last one.

Oh, completely forgot about that. Thanks.
Well, here's a minigame to get this moving a bit: 
I wanna know what she says right after this. |

Absolutely right. Very sexy kiss scene, wonder why they don't do it often in anime.

No. And even if it were, that's not nearly enough to be an acceptable guess.

I'm probably going to regret it, but part of me is really thinking that this is from:
spoiler[Digimon Tamers (Season 3)] Character A is spoiler[Takato] and Character B is spoiler[Guilmon]? Context: spoiler[In this episode, Guilmon apparently travels to Takato's school, and Takato worries that his Digimon might be revealed to everyone. Guilmon is hiding in a box.] I'll be surprised if this is right. |

Hint 1: spoiler[Pretending to be a doll is an easy feat for Char B; seeing as how she's smaller than a Barbie doll.]

Would Character A be spoiler[Seiji] and Character B be spoiler[Midori] from spoiler[Midori Days]?

Hint 2: spoiler[There are dire consequences for Char B's people for being seen by humans. Consequences that the lead male has so rudely found out for himself.] |

You and your spoiler[Maki] obsession. I pass if I'm right. And I've been passing because I haven't been watching much anime lately. Darn Pokemon... |
