Did this anime air during 2009?

Is there a harem involved?

Is the original novel Japanese?

So... was last Monday just as slow?

Is it "Kaze no Kaiwa" from the 2009 Romance Of The Three Kingdoms anime?

Work, school, hangovers. You know, life

So... was last Monday just as slow?

*facepalm* Wow, I can't believe I already forgot it was Martin Luther King Jr. Day last Monday.

Also:

You could have just said yes or no.

Has the original novel won any awards?

Damn, I thought I was being so clever there.

Does the anime have supernatural themes?

Is the original novel a visual novel?

Could the artstyle of the series be considered "unusual"?

Has the original novel won any awards? I can't find any.

Does the anime have supernatural themes? It has supernatural elements.

Is the original novel a visual novel? What? No. I've never used the term "novel" as a superset of "visual novel."

Could the artstyle of the series be considered "unusual"? Yes.

Would you also say this series is... out of this world?

I'd predict that you're the person most likely to choose a visual novel, and then call it a novel when asked.

Dude, no. That'd just be blatantly misusing a term — "novel" does not include every other category with the word "novel" in its name. No accepted definition would. I've never stretched things to that extent; that wouldn't even be "stretching." The worst I've done is given a hint that, as far as I knew, only ruled out the second One Piece OP. (I consider the Mathematician's Answer fair game, since if it's applicable, the question is illegal anyway.)

So it isn't the Tatami Galaxy (Yojouhan Shinwa Taikei)?

N...y...n...

I'm sorry, I don't even know which to use for a question phrased in the negative. I'm working with a language with a two-form system, people!

Simply say "It is not X" rather than answering in a yes or no fashion.

Let's try again, Is it The Tatami Galaxy?

Considering my first hint rules out one of the two songs used as an OP to that series, I'll take the actual song — "Maigoinu to Ame no Beat"/"A Stray Puppy and the Beat of the Rain" — as implicit in the question.

I had to think for a while to decide whether Hanuki, Kaori, and Keiko qualified as a "harem." I think it's appropriate to classify them as such, even if it's all in the protagonist's head. I love this series to bits.

All yours, Noimporta.

Round 34

Hint: This ED is from a TV series.

Did it air in the past 2 years?

Did it air before 2004?

Did it air between 2004 and 2008 inclusive?

The third.
