Hint 1: "The improbable choreography has been going on for a while..."

• The song or anime is mentioned in the page for Dancing Theme.
• The anime is an adaptation.
• It is a Slice of Life.
• Sci-fi of fantasy: no.
• Romance: no.
• Action/mystery: no.
• Something to do with Haruhi Suzumiya? No.
• Animated by a studio in the Names To Know In Anime page.
• Not Kyo Ani.
• Not listed in the Surreal Theme Tune page.
• Not Curriculum.
• Not Futari no Kimochi no Honto no Himitsu
• Not Serious Business.
• No High School girls.
• The song is an OP.
• The anime was adapted from a manga.
• It was not adapted from a light novel.
• The characters don't pass by colonnades.
• Some characters had hair that wasn't brown or black.
• Some of the characters have unnatural hair colour.
• The anime doesn't have a foreign transfer student.
• It has ojous.
• There is more than 1 OP.
• The protagonist doesn't have red or orange hair.

• The main character is male.
• The song or anime is not referenced in Ondo.
• The manga is not ongoing, even in Japan.
• Some characters do dance.
• The anime is not Hayate The Combat Butler.
• Thus, the song isn't from Hayate, either.
• So it's not Shichiten Hakki Shijou Shugi.
• The anime is not listed in the Tsundere page.
• It is not listed in the Shana Clone page.
• It is not listed in the Sugar-and-Ice Personality page.

Now, it's been a while since I wathced this anime, so I don't remember it as well as I apparently should. Anyway, these answer are not going to be very relevant:

I'm pretty sure that the answers are "no, no, yes" but since I don't remember every episode, I could be mistaken. But as I said, none of these is ever important to the plot, that I recall. I'm not counting these in the final hint tally 'cause my answers aren't very good.

So, total number of hints: 36.

No.

No.

In an even year?

No.

Did the anime start in:

2001?

In the spring season?

Is song "Love Tropicana Final"?

"Love Tropicana Deluxe"?

(Both from Hare Guu)

Is a character super-deformed while dancing?

Is the main character human?

Is the main character a high school student?

The song is Love Tropicana Final. You win!

Including the correct guess, there were 43 questions/answers.

I'm supposed to post a video of the song, right? I can't find the OP on You Tube, so I'll just have to give you this long version without the opening credits sequence:

Hare Nochi Guu more slice-of-life than fantasy? I object. If it was Potemayo, I could understand, but does Guu's world look like anything other than fantasy to you?

Oh, well, I'm not going to complain too much, as it should have been obvious with those hints (I assume the ojou is that blonde girl from the first couple of episodes of that OVA? Or young Weda?)

edited 9th Jun '12 3:30:42 AM by flygon250

Young Weda, I would think. And I've seen so many definitions of Fantasy that I don't know what should qualify. Is it enough that it has supernatural elements? I dunno...

Anyway, it's clearly a Slice of Life work for the most part.

edited 9th Jun '12 3:53:57 AM by BestOf

I would say that any work which is set in a world which has native wildlife not found on our Earth (In other words, Pokute) qualifies as fantasy. Anything else is supernatual/contemporary fantasy.(as Ani DB likes to call it)

edited 9th Jun '12 4:04:08 AM by flygon250

You're right, I should've classified it as fantasy.
