No (and I didn't say "almost not breaking the rules", I said "mostly legal"), No, and No.

EDIT: MY MISTAKE! IT'S NOT ONE COUR LONG.

Is Yuki Kajiura or any of her bands (See-Saw, FictionJunction, Kalafina) involved in this anime in any way?

Did it start after 2000?

After 2006?

No, yes, and yes.

even year?

Sci-fi / fantasy?

odd number of episodes?

Yes, yes and yes.

13 episodes?

noitaminA?

Fantasy?

I'm not at home right now, so I'm not going to be online much over the next few days.

I moved out from my house so I haven't had internet for the last two weeks, but it's sad to know that.

Anyway let keep it moving.

Did it start airing in 2008? 2010? 2012?

I just add random guess of God Knows and such.

Is there credits that go over the song?

flygon: No, no and no.
shark: Yes, no and no.
Dorkus: No.

Is the song somehow related to a poem?

Is the anime a TV Series? Does it have more than 15 episodes? Does it have any OVAs?

Is it OVA with 17 episodes?

Does the anime have something to do with the world being an illusion?

Does any character die?

Will Piryte gonna answer? Is it God Knows? Why am I even making questions if I already have three that haven't been answered?

Grain: No.
shark: Yes, yes, no.
Tenzen: No.
Grain again: No, Yes.
shark again: Yes, no, maybe, I don't know, can you repeat the question?

Is Pyrite goint to list the hints?

Does the episode count include DVD-only eps?

Is it Heart Goes On?

Eventually, no (there aren't any) and no.

Is there magic?

Is there a white-haired character?

Are there non-human characters?

No, probably not (doesn't look quite white to me), and yes.

EDIT: My mistake. It's not one cour long. -4 to hint count.

I'm back properly now, so.

Does the anime have 25 episodes?

Did it air during 2009?

Do any of the characters have an unnatural hair colour?

• Yes.
• Strictly speaking, it didn't air in 2009, but if you look at it another way, it did.
• Yep. Plenty.

I believe I was Wrong Pyrite Savvy, alright, the Pyrite Savvy I should have used was "Is it from the Macross Franchise?", not the Yuki Kajiura one.

So, is it Macross Frontier (again)?

Ayup. And with that sort of hint, there's only one (okay, actually two, but that's another story) song it could be.

The problem is, I haven't watched Macross Frontier. Anyway, let's get rid of the non May'n/Megumi Nakajima possibilities first.

Is it Uchū Kyōdai Bune?

SMS Shōtai no Uta ~Ano Ko wa Alien?

Is the song by FIRE BOMBER?

Nope, nope and nope.
