Ninja? No

Samurai? Yes

If it has a trope page, it's a trope. "Samurai" is a real thing, but it produces trope-ish things like Samurai Cowboy and Kid Samurai.

Whew, this round is like Gattling Gun fire. I feel like without the Tropes Only limitation, people feel like there's no path to proceed upon so they let everyone else handle it, but once we have a limited number of options, BAM! Everyone starts chipping away.

I'm enjoying it.

I feel like I'm getting nowhere so,

Is Masquerade listed on the anime's page?

Is Thirteen Episode Anime listed on the anime's page?

Is Jidaigeki listed on the anime's page?

That's part of it; another may be unfamiliarity with the ruleset, or a desire to see how it plays out from the point of a neutral third party. Me now, I'm lazy. That said!

Is there a Mysterious Waif?

Onmyodo?

Is the protagonist Walking the Earth?

The Samurai trope: Is it omnipresent, or is only one or a very small group of characters Samurai?

I'm just confused, personally, because I know I'm forgetting an anime, since Jidai Geki is one of my favourite genres and I've probably seen it.

Are Bait-and-Switch Credits listed on the anime's page? Bloodless Carnage?

Oh. Jidai Geki is a genre. Of course there are plenty of samurai.

Well huh.

I can't think of anything that doesn't include the Shinsengumi or isn't over 13 episodes long. Drat.

The Samurai trope: Is it omnipresent, or is only one or a very small group of characters Samurai? Yes

Are Bait and switch credits listed on the anime's page? No.

Bloodless Carnage? No.

Aren't you forgetting about the Mathematician's Answer?

Is Boys Love Genre listed on the anime's page?

edited 18th Jul '11 7:38:42 PM by Pokénatic

I'm not Shay Guy.

Oh wait, I can answer that question. I had a brain fart. (I hate that term so much). Thank you.

Is Boys Love Genre listed on the anime's page? Yes.

Technically. Oh, great.

Is the song from Mirage Of Blaze?

edited 18th Jul '11 7:45:58 PM by Pokénatic

I removed the "technically" after utilizing my common sense.

edited 18th Jul '11 7:57:06 PM by Grain

As in, Is it omnipresent (as opposed to-)

Smartass.

The song is Blaze 2002 from Mirage Of Blaze. Pokenatic wins. And, it only has 53 facts. That's not nearly as hard as people thought it would be.

I knew that nobody would consider that it might be two men for a long time. It was very ironic (in the dramatic sense) and entertaining when Thenamelesssamurai asked if Les Yay was applicable, but not Ho Yay.

I was on the page for Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran when I asked that question. It's kind of funny (and mildly annoyingly ironic), I looked at the page for Mirage of Blaze, but I discounted that one for some reason that I can't remember.

Oh well, that's one of the few I haven't seen anyway.

I'd forgotten how terrible that song is. . .

That must be painful, after everyone worked so hard.

edited 18th Jul '11 8:06:05 PM by Grain

So sad :(

It's funny more than anything else, really. Then again, this is what happens when you play a thinking game after working all day on 5 hours of sleep and a headache.

Really I don't mind, because the round was so fun.

Also, do the riffs in that songs sound like they were fished out of Dream Theater's trash can during the earlier 90's or is it just me?
