I don't know why, but I think that one is directed to me. Hey, you aren't the only one that looks for loopholes.

Is anime 1 an adaptation? Is anime 2 an Anime First? Is anime 3 based on a pre-existing intelecual property? Yes. No. Yes.

Round 357: Experimental Round #00 Whatever

Variant rules:

1. There are five six hints, each of which leads to a different song. Of the five six songs, only one is legal.
2. You have to name the legal song to win. Naming any of the others will get you nothing.
3. You can not ask any questions that would reveal which song is the legal song. That also means that you can not ask any questions that would reveal which hint leads to the legal song.
4. You can not ask any questions about the hints.
5. Each question must refer to only one song / anime / anything else that relates to one song or anime. You can not ask a question that refers to a song and an anime (and any other combination) either.
6. Rule 10 is still in effect, so choose wisely.
7. If you manage to ask a question that circumvents any of the rules, I will still answer it, but any questions you ask after that will be ignored for the rest of the round.

Hints:

Hint 1: Eternal.
Hint 2: And the gears are spinning.
Hint 3: She's an idol.

I'm just gone for a whole day... and this came out of nowhere...?

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

What, we've had tropes-only rounds, no airdates/episode count/season length/studio questions rounds, double song rounds, and a few other variant rounds. Besides, this shouldn't be as hard as those no-whatever-questions rounds, although it might take just as long.

This round is just cruel. My signature's rule takes effect in this round.

Song/Anime 2:

Is it an OP? An ED? Is the anime an adaptation?

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

Did anime 1 start airing before 2000? Did anime 1 start airing after 2005? Did anime 1 start airing on an even numbered year?

This round is just cruel. Have you seen some of the past rounds? Just look at the restrictions from Pyrite's last round.

Besides, aside from questions dealing with the legality of the songs, info about the hints, and questions dealing with more than song/anime/whatever else, you can ask pretty much anything.

Song/Anime 2:

Is it an OP? An ED? Variant rules 1 and 3.

Is the anime an adaptation? Yes.

Did anime 1 start airing before 2000? Did anime 1 start airing after 2005? Did anime 1 start airing on an even numbered year? No. No. No.

Song/Anime 2:

Is the adapted form a game? a lightnovel? a manga?

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

Did anime 1 start airing in 2001? Did anime 1 start airing on either the winter or spring season? Did anime 1 start airing on the summer season?

Pyr and Fly's gonna toast you later.... Come on, none of the hints have need an extreme amount of Moon Logic for them to make sense. It's like you forgot about some of the more zanier rounds we've had.

Song/Anime 2:

Is the adapted form a game? a lightnovel? a manga? No. No. Yes. Are you seriously only asking questions for the second song? For all you know, song 2 might be illegal.

Did anime 1 start airing in 2001? Did anime 1 start airing on either the winter or spring season? Did anime 1 start airing on the summer season? No. No. No.

That white text makes me think that you want to throw us off of it becuase song 2 is the legal one, yet it could be a Red Herring becuase you want us to think that

Did anime 1 start airing on 2003? Does anime 1 have 27 or more episodes? Does anime 1 have 14 or less episodes?

Is anime 3 Slice of Life? Drama? Sci-fi?

So does Pyrite get anime 4, Flygon anime 5 and Dorkus anime 6? Sounds good to me.

Speaking of which, why are you only focusing on song 1 now?

Did anime 1 start airing on 2003? Does anime 1 have 27 or more episodes? Does anime 1 have 14 or less episodes? No. Yes. No.

Is anime 3 Slice of Life? Drama? Sci-fi? No. No. No.

Frankly I thought you guys would actually ask questions about more than one song/anime. That's like practically giving this round to one of your fellow tropers.

Is anime 3 Fantasy? Is it an adaptation? Did it start airing after 2000?

Honestly, I'm just trying to whittle down my options and if I can figure out an anime quick and eliminate it as illegal, I can move on to the next one.

My strategy is to find out the anime from song 1, and if the song is illegal then move on to another anime.

Is the main character of anime 1 female? Is anime 1 Sci-Fi? Is anime 1 Mecha?

If you notice, on double round songs, I always stick to one anime.

Is anime 3 Urban Fantasy? Is it an adaptation of a manga? Did it air on an even year?

So you're saying that you would actually go through all of the hints?

Well I never noticed.

Is the main character of anime 1 female? Is anime 1 Sci-Fi? Is anime 1 Mecha? Yes. Yes. No.

Is anime 3 Urban Fantasy? Is it an adaptation of a manga? Did it air on an even year? Yes. Yes. Yes.
