Is the manga still ongoing? No

Is the anime currently airing in Japan? No

Is the main character a high school student or someone of equivalent age? No... Well, questions about age in general are going to be pretty hard to answer for this series, to be honest.

List, if you please. Also:

• Does your hint refer to the song title?
• Are alternate timelines or parallel universes involved?
• Is there more than one anime in the franchise (counting individually-named seasons as separate anime)?

It should be easy now, shouldn't it?

I thought Ginga Densetsu Weed only had one anime. *shrug* EDIT: Oh, I forgot to take Ginga Nagareboshi Gin into account.

Anyway... is it "Ginga Densetsu Weed", from the anime of the same name?

Well, i did say that it would be easy. I was actually expecting someone to catch on much earlier than they did.

Your turn, Pyrite.

Alrighty, let's see...

Round 495 / 506: Not with a bang, but with a whimper.

Hint: This song is mostly legal. Sadly, that's not enough to stop it from violating Rule 1.^note (That means it's illegal.)

...What the- *blinks* Odd that Densha Otoko doesn't have an anime yet.

Anyway: No, no, and no.

You said that the song was illegal, but could almost be considered legal. Densha Otoko is a live-action series (so breaking rule 1) with an anime-style OP, so that's how I interpreted the hint*

and the reason why I guessed it.

So, it's not from a live-action work, then?

Is it from a non-Japanese cartoon?

Is it an insert song?

Interesting train of logic there, but it didn't work out. Anyway,

• It's not from a live action work.
• It's from a Japanese cartoon.
• It's an insert song.

Does the anime feature a Show Within a Show? I still haven't forgotten that Ore no Imouto round, you know the one...

Does the song play before the actual OP in the episode where it is featured?

Does the ED play immediately after this song in the episode where it is featured?

• Does the anime feature a Show Within a Show? Oddly enough, yes. Not that it's relevant to the specific song.
• Does the song play before the actual OP in the episode where it is featured? No.
• Does the ED play immediately after this song in the episode where it is featured? Not immediately, but it's close enough that I'd say Yes.

Is that thing about "almot not breaking rules" just different way to saying you blatanly broke them and there isn't nothing else to it?

Adaptation?

One cour?
