Oh, and should at least tell you this, since we seem to be going around in circles, the "Main character isn't male" hint, while technically true, at least in my opinion, should not be interpreted as "the main character is female".

Oh gosh. *facepalm* I knew I should've stepped in sooner, but I've been distracted.

Does this mean it's Revenge ~Asu e no chigai~ from Human Crossing?

A quick check by copy-pasting the hints into a text editor and removing the extra lines (headings, line breaks, the hints that i striked out because I don't think they should count) gave me 98 lines, meaning 99 hints, as there is one hint per line, apart from the Bland-Name Product / shoddy knockoff one, which was originally 2 questions.

Can somebody confirm this?

No way in hell am I going to proofread that. I think our brains just shut off after round 30 and nobody gives a crap anymore. (Also: yes, I had to use the ANN search engine - I couldn't even find that anything "crossing"-related on Anime Lyrics.)

A breather round, then.

Round 471 (?): I got 99 problems but this round ain't one.

Hint: I'm fine, really.

Is the song title in English? Is the song in English? Is the song on the tip of my tongue, but I can't remember the name?

(for some reason, Serial Experiment Lain comes to mind)

rrw: Yes, Yes, No.
Tomu: No, No, Only you know the answer to that.

Boys Be?

Is it God Knows?

edited 1st May '12 9:58:58 AM by TheyCallMeTomu

Boys Be - Daijiobu. Told you this was going to be a breather round. Tomu, 11 hints.

Also, I can't believe I never noticed before, but... WTF is the sequence supposed to depict? One Youtube comment described it as a nuclear wasteland.

...ARE THOSE SKULLS? Man, there goes my childhood.

No, of course it's not God Knows.

I have no idea what song or anime that is.

Round OMFG!

Incidentally, if you guys don't get this one, I have another picture hint I'm preparing.

Hell, to make this round go faster (HA HA! Maybe):

Does the main character of writing dramatically?

Does the hint refer to the fact that there is more than one way to say "I" in Japanese?
