Weekly Puzzle

You sure? BK kind of unknowingly hinted "superfans" so i'm thinking it's a popular series. And honestly the more I think about it Noobs the more I think it's from Clannad since you said it. I'll have to re-watch it to be certain but thinking that this ties around Kotomi if this is indeed from Clannad. If it is i'm giving you the credit Noobs.

 

im actually not that sure. since he used a somewhat popular anime for the previous game and i failed big time as a music anime watcher. this time i just kind of used a reverse pycho thingy that he will not use a popular show this time. well if you guessed it by using clannad, you may have the point. im sticking to my Kanon guess here. xD

 

@Vladnyx guessed right again. Beat me! It's Clannad episode 11.

The wrapping gives it away. The pie itself looks very similar to one in Say I Love You, however the later isn't wrapped. Still I took time to rewatch that episode to clarify.

It's funny that I just made some polymer charms for a Clannad necklace I'm making as a present for the holidays.

 

Well to be correct you beat me. All I said is I think that it's Clannad the more I think about it, but only after Noobs brought it up. I had yet to lock that in as my answer. I was actually just rewatching it to be sure. Was on episode 9 so only had 2 more to go. My next guess would have been maybe Air TV. So you actually win this round Youngnozomi. The way i'll operate with my answers is i'll state the show & episode before the final day if iv'e actually found the correct answer. If I only have a rough guess that's when i'll just list a show. Since I never said it was the show I was using as my answer you take this round. Hope that makes sense to you.

 

And here's to when I thought it couldn't get harder...
tsk tsk tsk. Feel I could have a solid month and not guess this one.

 

Gotta hand you props. I'd never guess that. I only watched Ghost Hunt once in my life.

 

Yeah that certainly does help. It's always nice to have that one special anime you can keep going back to. I knew it was apparently a shrine of sorts, but this one didn't look familiar to anything I remembered. The closest thing I found was "A Letter to Momo" but the shrines didn't match up. Not just that I haven't known BK to use films.

 

It was Ghost Hunt. That was a good anime! I wasn't sure since it was pretty major in the anime I felt it was a trick image.

@Supernatural-Knight Are you familiar with the ending of the light novels of Ghost Hunt? It's weird that the anime cut off where it did since there was only one final arc in the series that ties together the storyline about who Naru is and who Mai is seeing in her dreams.

I'm currently reading scans of the manga. I think the UK has released the manga but I live in the US so I can't find copies. I would buy them since my friend and brother both also love the series.

 

I watched it subbed before it was brought over by funimation. Then I got the DVDs for either my birthday or Christmas when it was dubbed. So I've seen both. Some voices I preferred in English others in Japanese. But both versions were good! John just speaks like a female in the Japanese version since he learned the language from females. So I felt the dub using an Australian accent since it's his native country was a good move.

The manga is good so far. I'm only on the Orikiri arc though. I wouldn't say the art style is a strong shoujo style. It seems more shoujo than shounen though. Actually the style looks a little like some of Yuu Watase's older works like Ceres. It has a traditional feel as opposed to being done on computers. For example Mai has big eyes in the black and white pages and some children that appear but the others only really look shoujo style on the colored spreads. Then again I might just ignore the shoujo feel because the story is good.

 

John learning from females was only in the subbed version. I feel the accent was just the stereotype of how someone from Australia speaks. I liked the idea of how they changed it for English speakers. It's like using a southern US accent for a person that has a Kansai accent in the original. (The dub of Rurouni Kenshin did this) It's not the correct way they speak but it still invokes the feeling of the character being from out of the area.

Yuu Watase wrote both Ceres and Fushigi Yuugi which are both shoujo that deal with dark elements. For example both have major characters die and have bloody scenes that many shoujo don't deal with. Her latest work is shonen though. So she has the ability to write to both male and female audiences.

I keep up with more manga than I do with anime because many series I like are only partially covered in the anime run or not animated at all. That's probably because I only recently as in this month got a smart phone, having manga on the go is easier than bringing a computer or DVD player around.

I've been into manga since around 2001. I'd watched anime before than but I didn't really realize what it was. I have my older cousin to thank for being introduced to anime. He got my whole family into it. Even my dad likes some like Death Note and my mom likes the art style but she's only really watched some Ghibli films. Actually my older sister doesn't like anime but 5 out of 6 of us is a good number.
