Don't believe the hype, I'm not that good. (Unless you want me here so that you can rub your victory in my face. )

Anyway, I have a feeling I'll be fighting a losing battle for this round, but here's my token contribution: Is the movie:

• predominantly in stop-motion?
• more than 20 min long?
• based on Japanese folklore and mythology?

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.

Is it Panda no Daibouken? Hey, it's worth a try, considering your running gag.

Shounen Sarutobi Sasuke?

Is the movie part of a larger franchise?

Does it have Humongeous Mecha? Idiot Hero? Is the anime something like this season's Busou Shinki in anyway?

...a little brother should belong to his older sister, right? - Orimura Chifuyu

Unbelievable, this round couldn't even beat my own personal fact record.*

*

^{And I was even counting redundant facts to keep up with my rule.}

The anime is "Shoujouji no Tanuki-bayashi Ban Danemon". Even though there are two versions of it, the facts only point to one of them, so shark won. It doesn't seem that there's a video of it on You Tube, here's a link to the Crunchy Roll video.*

Mayo Chiki? Unless you're trying to make fun of that anime, *slaps Dorkus for being stupid*

Etc.:

• It was not my intention to make it a(n?) One-Hint-Wonder by bringing up the record jynx.
• It is not "God Knows".

Miscellaneous (will not be counted towards the fact count):

• The numbers I'm putting up in each post are for keeping track of the number of facts. *
  ^{All I have to say is, wouldn't you want to ask those types of questions ASAP if this round really does go that far?}
  • Which means they do not reference the anime in some way.

You see, Poke, the moment you announce that you're making an attempt for the highest hint count, people are going to start breaking out all the tricks in the book (like asking if it has a Wikipedia / ANN / TV Tropes / MAL page). You have to not announce it, so that by the time we realise it's not on Wikipedia, we're already 30 hints into the game or something. (And now that I've revealed this, betcha someone's opener is going to be, "Does it have a 1.) TV Tropes / 2.) Wikipedia / 3.) MAL page?")

Yeah, I should've realized that from the beginning.

Either that or I just hope that everyone else has the Idiot Ball in hand.*
