Is it God Knows?

Is it God Knows? You won the game! Click the link to hear the song! Of course Shark 33 hasn't won. You can't win the game, only lose it.

Did it start airing in the Yang Metal Tiger's turn? No

The Yin Metal Hare's? No

Did it start airing in the fall? In the winter? Is it on this list? No, no ,no

Did it air after the previous Year of the Rooster? No

Okay from now on, all zodiac-related questions are banned, as are questions which ask if certain sports tournaments were held on that year. Hey, gotta be proactive, haven't I?

Is it on a "Category:Anime of..." page on Wikipedia?

I think that changing the rules midway through the round is kind of unfair.

But well, since asking if it started on the same year as sports tournaments is banned, then how about this: Did the anime start airing before The Melancholy Of Haruhi Suzumiya? after Azumanga Daioh? before Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Is it on a "Category:Anime of..." page on Wikipedia?

Yes

Did the anime start airing before The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya? after Azumanga Daioh? before Neon Genesis Evangelion?

Yes, yes, no

As for rule changes being unfair, I thinks it's justified when people are going out of their way to get around the rule's intended purpose, but I will return the rules as to how they were at the start of this round. OK? So ask as as many Zodiac-related questions as you like!

I'm fine with the rules changing, I was just saying that it could lead to someone changing the rules every post, I wasn't saying that you would do that. Of course I could have explained that, but it's over midnight and I'm already feeling sleepy, so I think you will understand.

Is the anime a Slice of Life? Is it a show that aired on Noitamin A? Does the anime have a harem?

Roundup:

Is it a TV Series? An OVA series? Did it start airing in the fall?

Did it have a manga? a light novel? a live action?

Is it a TV Series? Yes

An OVA series? No

Did it start airing in the fall? Already asked, but no.

Did it have a manga? No

a light novel? Wikipedia says it does.

a live action? No

Excluding questions on dates or series length would have been a better way to go about this, but it's a start. Anyway,

• Is it "Shonen Humming" from Zettai Shonen? (Not to be confused with Zettai Kareshi, for the record.)
• Is the song an OP?
• Is it officially licensed in the USA?

Did it start airing in the spring?

Is it "Shonen Humming" from Zettai Shonen? (Not to be confused with Zettai Kareshi, for the record.) Shounen humming isn't quite shoujo whistling, so that means it's the correct answer.

I had wanted to use a Masumi Itou song for a while now. I was originally going to use Futari Dakara, The Koi Kaze ED, but then I remembered that the Koi Kaze OP was self-titled, so that could have caused unnecessary confusion, so I decided to use Koi Kaze for my previous round and use Shounen Humming for this one.

Your turn, Pyrite. My previous post will be updated with the roundup of the remaining hints.

As always... pass. Too sleepy to think of something interesting.

edited 22nd Jul '11 12:21:16 PM by Pyrite

I'll take it then.

Round 269: Nice and slow.

Hint: Let's look for a place wrapped in kindness.
Hint 2: The first hint will lead you to the right anime, but the wrong song.
Restrictions: You can not ask questions related to when it aired nor can you ask questions about its episode count.
