Is it from Nanoha?

Everything I'm thinking of is based off of a manga.

Is it a romance as well?

Slice of Life series that hs mecha in another part of the Franchise... with a female MC...

Damn, I am seriously drawing a blank.

Is it from Nanoha? -No

Is it a romance as well? -No

Round 303

Hint: "Another One Bites The Dust"

The song:

• isn't God Knows...
• is an/the OP
• is not "The Winner"
• is not "Men of Destiny"
• is not "Princess Lover"
• does not reference death

The anime:

• is Slice of Life
• is a comedy
• is not a drama show
• does not have a more than 1 season
• is a television series
• is an adaptation
  • is not an adaptation of a manga
  • or a Light Novel
  • or a Visual Novel
• has a female main character
• does not have more than 26 episodes
• does have less than 26 episodes
• is not about queens. Of any type.
• has 13 or less episodes
• is not a mecha anime
• is not a romance
• is an adaptation of a video game
• is not Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva
• is probably not that much less serious than the video game it's based off of.
• started airing after 2002
• has roughly the same story arc as the game

The franchise:

• has OVAs
• has mecha in one part of it's franchise
• is not Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha
• has it's origins in video games

The video game:

• is not a puzzle game
• is not Action-Adventure
• was never adapted to US/European audiences
• is not Animal Crossing

The Jeff Goldblum's leaps in logic:

• confuse me
• might just leap too far

The hint:

• does not refer to the anime
• does refer to the song

Is it "The Winner?"

"Men of Destiny?"

Is it an adaptation of a video game?

Is it "The Winner?" -No

"Men of Destiny?" -No

Is it an adaptation of a video game? -Yes

Does the hint refer to the anime? The song?

So. It's a 12 episode (or less) slice of life/comedy adaptation from a video game with a female main character that has mecha in other parts of the franchise-but not in the show. It's related to Another One Bites the Dust but not otherwise related to queen, and there are no queens of any sort-including Okama I wager-in the anime.

Princess Lover?

Is the song referencing death?

... White Album? No wait, that's a visual novel.

Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva? -No

Is the song referencing death? -No

White Album? -No Oh good, I had no idea what that was.

Is the video game version much much MUCH more serious than the anime?

White Album would have been insane. "Another one bites the dust was by Queen, one of the defining bands of the 70s. Bands of the seventies... bands of the sixties. The beatles! The beatles had albums... White Album!"

Action ADVENTURE!? -Way no.

Was it any fun/Should I try it? -Your Mileage May Vary

I'm leaving your previous questions up Tomu since one of them is pretty important.

Animal Crossing? -No

Alright so, if the game wasn't imported to the US, I've almost certainly never heard of it, and probably shouldn't be asking questions about it.

<Deep contemplation>

I thought I had it for a second-Fire Emblem (the first game didn't ever get ported, amirite) but then I realized it fits 0 of the other hints XD
