Oh, and a bonus hint: You are going to have to contradict the apparent evidence given by one of these hints if you are to find the correct answer. I answered the question truthfully and correctly, but the way the question was worded means that it doesn't give the full truth.

And if you don't know what to ask, you might as well ask memes. It's not like you have anything to lose, after all.

LOL... SO flygon like memes huh?

• Is the anime Kodomo no Jikan? if yes, is the song an ED?

Is the anime listed as Shoujo in either MAL, ANN, Wikipedia or TV Tropes?

shark... no offense, but it's on MAL and Tvtropes' seinen page, I think.

Why would it offend me that you point out an error I made?

My reasoning was that that might have been the hint that we need to contradict, but I'm clearly not putting a lot of effort and have only glanced at the list of facts.

So, It's God Knows, right?

Uhh... ok

If we can call Haruhi to have her show have more sexy scenes with the protagonist, yeah, it's God Knows.

I already answered about God knows. Try other memes

And yes, it's on the Seinen page of TVTropes.

The answer the rest later. I have got to go.

Do the characters have blue eyes?

Are the characters connected by an old and mysterious photograph?

Is there a significance to freezing air?

• Will edmania gonna answer?
• Is it from Touhou?
• Does this anime exist?

Before I give up and stoop to Dorkus' level of brute forcing, is the studio that produced it listed on the Names To Know In Anime page?

Is there an Overused Running Gag we haven't used yet? (Sorry, flygon - I got a little impatient.)

edited 5th Aug '11 10:50:31 AM by Pyrite

Well there is the *gets slapped* gag.

No, not that one. I'm talking about the other one.

Is it "Is it from Disgaea?"?

...Okay, this is the part where I Face Palm and grumble that we have too damn many RunningGags, well, running around.

edited 5th Aug '11 11:09:46 AM by Pyrite

The ones that I remember are:

• Is it from Disgaea?
  • *gets slapped*
• Will Edmania gonna answer?
• Is it God Knows?
• Are there time travellers?
  • Aliens?
  • Espers?
• Does it have anything to do with pandas? *
  ^{And by the looks of it, there is a slew of variations of this before I actually started to change the question myself.}
• White text.

Is it Tsukiyomi Moon Phase?

Would Winnie The Pooh love this anime?

We interrupt this game for an important announcement:

Why is everything upside-down?! Wwwwhhhyyyyyyyyyyyy?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Thank you.

Do the characters have blue eyes? No

Are the characters connected by an old and mysterious photograph? No

Is there a significance to freezing air? No

Will edmania gonna answer? God Knows.

Is it from Touhou? Nope

Does this anime exist? Of course.

Before I give up and stoop to Dorkus' level of brute forcing, is the studio that produced it listed on the Names to Know in Anime page? Yes

Also, Pokénatic has mentioned the meme I was referring to with that hint thing I gave out before.

And, going back to earlier, it's not Kodomo No Jikan either. I'm pretty sure the other questions have been answered either implicitly or explicitly.

edited 5th Aug '11 11:53:17 AM by flygon250

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 Mad House, Gonzo, Production IG or Studio Deen?

edited 5th Aug '11 12:10:13 PM by shark33

Ah found it. Should I start looking for UFOs?

No, no, yes, so JC Staff, but it's not listed on their TV Tropes page.
