Is:

• Lu-Fuki an anagram?

Does:

• the anime has a manga?
• the anime have a light novel?

No. Yes. Yes.

AH... re-check your post...

Is the song

• Sung by a band?
• Is either Rock or J-Pop?

Is The anime

• listed in the light novel page?

No. Yes. Yes.

Some people describe the anime as Shounen, so I've changed the answer.

And it's currently airing? What?

The anime is not currently airing. I've fixed all the errors now.

LOLZ.... I'm still thinking of things to guess.

1.) That wild goose chase of yours made me think that it would've taken longer.

2.) If I knew that the hint would remind someone of Inu Yasha, I should have thought of something else 'cause the moment you asked "Does the anime have Kemonomimi?" I basically went "Oh, Crap!, how could he have figured it out already?".

3.) What song did I accidentally quote?

Wait, what led you to "Life is Like a Boat"?

"Life Is Like A Boat" is Grain's God Knows.

Is the anime a Long Runner? Is the anime adapted from a manga? Is it adapted from a Light Novel?

Well that figures, he already used it twice.

Problem is that some anime has the same tropes as another, they only differ in time and cast.

About using a song more than once, I realized that we are getting closer to Round 299.

edited 28th Jul '11 7:01:34 PM by shark33

How does using a song more than once remind you about Round 299? What, more cake?

Anyways, is the anime listed on the Shōnen Demographic page? (Shōnen Demographic, Shōjo Genre, Seinen, Josei, it seems they failed at keeping it uniform)

edited 28th Jul '11 7:11:27 PM by Pokénatic

Who knows why, but it does.God Knows why.

Oh, and that is a huge Epic Fail. And then there are things like Girls' Love and Boys' Love

edited 28th Jul '11 7:19:03 PM by shark33

Yeah and it seems Shōnen Genre is gonna be used for Shonen Fighter shows. Talk about stereotyping.

Strange thing is, I could've sworn Yuri Genre was Girl's Love Genre for a little while. Of course that still bugged me since I didn't see any point in adding "Genre" to the trope title.

edited 28th Jul '11 7:34:16 PM by Pokénatic

Incorrect. Life is Like a Boat is a metaphorical song describing life as a journey by boat.

Goal by Buono.

We're in the middle of a journey
one both immediately ending
and one that could stretch off far into the future

Is the anime adapted from a manga? No

Is it adapted from a Light Novel? Yes

Anyways, is the anime listed on the Shonen Demographic page? No

edited 28th Jul '11 7:47:21 PM by Grain

Was the manga published on a Shounen magazine? Was the Light Novel published on a Shounen magazine? Does the anime have any movies or ovas?

Yes.

Is that even possible?

Yes.

Was the singer:

• Female?
• Forever 16?
• has something to do with someone who has the verbal tic, ~nipaa...?

No.

I don't know what that means. Is that a celebrity?

No.

edited 28th Jul '11 8:48:31 PM by Grain

I don't know if it is, but since most Light Novels are either Shounen or Seinen, I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

Was it produce by either Sunrise, Studio Bones, Gainax or Toei Animation?

Was it produce by either Studio Shaft, Kyo Ani, Bee Train or JC Staff?

Was it produce by either P.A. Works, Gonzo, A-1 Pictures or Brains Base?

I think he was thinking of Forever 17.

edited 28th Jul '11 8:47:46 PM by shark33

No. No. No.

Definitely Forever 17... And there are tons of Seiyuu's getting on with the joke.

Is the anime a Television series? Does it have various seasons?
