Oy, Tomu, stop repeating my questions. *Face Palm*

Sorry, somehow thought you said NES, SNES, Gamecube.

Eh, you can go for those too.

Did the anime start airing after 2000? Before 2007?On an even numbered year?

Is the game referenced made for the:

Wii? A sequel was

Nintendo 64? The original version game in question was released on the Nintendo 64. However, in terms of the hint, no.

Gameboy (or associated variants) or DS? A sequel was made here, too

Virtual Boy? No

Did the anime start airing after 2000? Before 2007?On an even numbered year? Yes, no yes, no.

Edit: I withdraw my question, Fire Emblem wasn't on the Nintendo 64

Animal Crossing?

I'm pretty sure we already realized it's not Fire Emblem related-I mean, I think the MC is female, and also, wasn't it not an adaptation of a video game?

Excite related?

Acchi Kochi?

The hint is a reference to Animal Crossing, but since this anime has nothing to do with Nintendo, it is not the Animal Crossing anime itself.

It should be easy now.

I know jack about Animal Crossing so there's not much I can really say. A seinen series that has an animal crossing reference? Wha?

Well, at least we figured out the hint. So, this is definite not Animal Crossing?

Is the anime set in an urban area?

Does the anime involve a wide variety of talking animals?

Did it start airing in 2007? 2009? Did it start airing on the winter season?

Has this round gone on entirely too long?

Well, at least we figured out the hint. So, this is definite not Animal Crossing? No, it's not Animal Crossing and in case you are wondering, it is still not God Knows either.

Is the anime set in an urban area? Probably

Does the anime involve a wide variety of talking animals? No

Did it start airing in 2007? 2009? Did it start airing on the winter season? No, no and no. Sorry, I was supposed to say yes to the second question. It started before 2007. I thought the question asked if it started after 2007.

Has this round gone on entirely too long? I would be giving bonus hints if I thought it had.

You MONSTER!

So, the song is somehow relevant to animal crossing... it's seinen.. it started before 2007...

I'm almost certainly utterly unfamiliar with this series.

Does it include Hikaru Midorikawa?

Akira Ishida?

Megumi Hayashibara?

...I can't find a full Japanese cast list for this anime on my usual websites, not even on ANN (who have the full English cast, but only a couple of Japanese roles listed)

Hey, the hint did mention Nintendo, did it not?

If it's not something you can find a cast of, doesn't that mean it's pretty obscure? And here you thought it'd be super easy once we realized the hint was referring to Animal Crossing!

Is the song (or its title) about difficulty? Brutality? Animals?

Is the song (or its title) about difficulty? Brutality? Animals? I can't find the lyrics for the song either, but I suppose the song's title could be associated with brutality to a certain degree, though the word in question doesn't always go hand-in-hand with it. Oh, and it's not related to difficulty or animals.

So it's an anime you don't know the cast to, with a song you don't know the lyrics to.

Hmmm... I am almost certain I have no knowledge of this anime or song. Hmmm... How about "fight?"

Is it set in a fantasy world, with fictional countries and such? No, because it's not a fantasy anime, as I already said.

Does the anime have something to do with clocks?

Is the anime steampunk?

Is the protagonist a child?
