An AoD General Anime Trivia Thread

[Dylonius Funk]

Well I tried this in Off Topic and it hasn't exactly caught on fire yet. But i'm sure it will and since i'm still in the mood for trivia, i figured i'd try one here as well.

Rules are simple. Questions are asked in Jeopardy format,meanigng you give the answer and someone else provides the quesiton. The clues are given by whoever gets the last one correct, then they give confirmation when someone else gets thier clue correct and passes it on to them. No points or anything, it's just for fun.

Only thing is please mark if your clue is in reguards to a licensed or unlicensed property.

And so, without furhter ado, i'll kick this sucker off. First clue is in unlicensed anime

"Rocket ships and a lion mask are elements in this 2003 anime."

Ok, this might be a tough one for some. It's from a licensed show.

"This athlete is parodied in a early episode of the fan favorite Cowboy Bebop"

Correct. Didn't think someone would get that right away, fun bit of trivia.

I realized like three seconds after I posted my answer that I had no idea as to what kind of question to ask. Let me try to do a hard one. It's a licensed show.

"This series is frequently compared to a book by japanese author Haruki Murakami."

What is Haibane Renmei? (And the book is Hard-Boiled Wonderland..)

Also I've read Haruki Murakami's other work Underground, which is a series of interviews by victims and cult members of the Aum Shinrikyo gassings of Tokyo subways, and while the first half of the book (the victims interviews) are all kinda similar and a bit boring, the interviews of the cult members is fascinating.

Correct! I just finished reading "A Wild Sheep Chase" and it was good, but sort of odd.

Any book that gives me nightmares about sheep is OK by me. I loved it! Sputnik Sweetheart was even better.
