EDIT: "Macross"? Ninja'd.

Does the hint pertain to the name of the song? Or that it is the first theme for the anime?

It's one of the best anime songs that I've ever heard, and I've seen over a hundred anime.

Anime geemu wo shinasai!

Is the anime Gigantor or Mobile Suit Gundam?

• The animation for the song doesn't exactly have similar aesthetics to the Fate Zero 2nd OP, but again, YMMV.
• The song has been used before.
• The song does not mention the moon.
• As mentioned, To The Beginning is a meta-reference to the first round of the game. If you're asking about the sequence, I think there were characters in reflective / contemplative poses, but I can't recall offhand. The rest of the elements, I can't recall.
• The hint is related to the song title.
• The hint is also related to the anime title.
• The anime is not Gigantor.
• The anime is not Mobile Suit Gundam.

Summary time (again)!

Round 477: Triple Threat Round!

Special Rules:
There are three songs in total. Guessing the first song will unlock the hint for the second level, and guessing the second song will unlock the third.

3: Hey, I Count Down

Hint.

• It's not a NICE BOAT.
• It's not the OP to School Days.
• It's not the ED to School Days.

Answer: Life Is Like A Boat

2: Are You Ready?

Hint: The previous song, Life Is Like A Boat.

• It's not Ready Steady Go.
• No, it is not a nice boat.
• It's not Life.
• The song is not by Rie Fu.
• It's not Ready!.
• It's not God Knows. *smacks Dorkus*
• It's not Friends On The Other Side.
• Boats are not relevant to the anime - at least, not in a significant manner.
• The second song has no significant links with Bleach. Or bleach. EDIT: It could have something to do with Brain Bleach, but YMMV on this one.
• The second song is in some way related to the first song.
• The song is not wet.
• The song isn't by Rie Fu.
• The song isn't from the Gundam franchise.
• The song isn't I Wanna Go To A Place.
• It's not Dis.
• It's not Karma.
• It's not about a journey - not unless you want to exercise some very creative interpretation and ignore the lyrics.
• It's not I'm On A Boat.
• It's not Soramimi Cake.
• The anime does not have anything to do with pandas, AFAIK.
• The sequence has at least some similarity to the aesthetic of the first Bleach OP, but YMMV.
• The hint is not the Life Is Like A... part.
• Life is not like a box of chocolates.
• The song mentions the moon.
• The song technically mentions achieving a particular goal, but not achieving one's goals in general.
• The song doesn't directly mention love, but you can derive that meaning easily enough if you refer to the lyrics.
• The moon gives light.
• The moon is not personified.
• The moon's colour is not mentioned.
• The moon is not the direct object of a transitive verb.
• The moon is not the indirect object of a verb.
• The moon doesn't do anything besides shine light.
• Moonlight technically shines down on a particular person or people. (Not explicitly phrased that way, but can be inferred from one of the lines.)
• Moonlight technically shines down on a particular place or landscape. (More specifically, it shines down on a metaphorical "place" that isn't an actual geographical location.)
• Therefore, the moon shines down on something, at least.

Answer: To The Beginning

1: Mou Matenai Yo!

Hint: The previous song, To The Beginning.

• It's not Fairytale.
• It's not by Kalafina.
• It's not from Macross (neither the specific anime nor the actual franchise).
• The animation for the song doesn't exactly have similar aesthetics to the Fate Zero 2nd OP, but again, YMMV.
• The song has been used before.
• The song does not mention the moon.

(Not a hint) As mentioned, To The Beginning is a meta-reference to the first round of the game.

• The hint is related to the song title.
• The hint is also related to the anime title.
• The anime is not Gigantor.
• The anime is not Mobile Suit Gundam.

Is the song Life is Like a Boat?

Is the song DEAD END?

Is the word 果て　(hate) used in the song lyrics?

Anime geemu wo shinasai!

Neither of the above. (What, you think I'd want to reuse Life Is Like A Boat? It's not like we're entering an endless recursion of time...)

Is the song Soramimi Cake?

Is the anime comedic?

Is the song Dis?

edited 23rd May '12 7:17:15 PM by Grain

Anime geemu wo shinasai!

It's not Soramimi Cake.

Bonus, since we keep trying to ninja each other: 果て　(hate) is not used in the lyrics, as far as I can tell from the kanji.

The anime is not predominantly comedic.

The song is not Dis. (What is it with that song, anyway?)

Is it God Knows?

Is it from Haruhi Suzumiya? Is the series the song is from a prequel to another series?

Does the title of the song include the particle へ? (Written as e or he)

Anime geemu wo shinasai!

• It's not God Knows. *smacks shark33*
• It's not from the Haruhi Suzumiya franchise.
• It's a prequel to another series.
• The song title doesn't contain へ.

Only My Railgun?

Anime geemu wo shinasai!

It's not by Kalafina? YOU SUCK!

Is it from Fate Zero?

Nope, nope, *smacks Tomu* I've already used a Kalafina song, don't make me out to be a bigger fanboy than I already am, and nope.

Is the anime part of the Gundam Franchise?

Is the song Heartcatch*Paradise?

edited 23rd May '12 7:31:28 PM by Grain

Anime geemu wo shinasai!

God damnit, now I have to actually watch Fate/Stay Night. I was so into the Hype Aversion, but I can't resist the siren call of Kalafina.

IT'S (not) A GUNDAM! *explosion* - ahem. It's not from the Gundam franchise.

It's not Heartcatch*Paradise.

Is the anime part of the Dragonball franchise?

Nope.

To the Beginning... is it To the End?

To the Last Place? (Wait, that's not an OP or ED...)

Is "To The" relevant in the song?

This is hard.

Anime geemu wo shinasai!

Is it "Hard"?
