Can you name the Animes by Opening?

Name as many as you can.
Me = 90/101
Some missed were due to anal-retentive quiz creator wanting only specific names of shows (that I knew by a slightly different title) and not including them as valid answers. This is anime. Most of these shows are known by a half dozen synonyms each.

I'd totally watch a show about a two year-old Mappy discovering animation. It'd have lots of obscure stock footage used in its gags and you would only see the feet and legs of his parents. I would call it Mappy Babies
Although I don’t know about the directions at 4:51.
It’s commonly known when you look north in Japan East is to your left. Please don’t try to correct that sentence. It lasts only for a second but I wouldn’t expect a mistake like that.

59. About where I wanted to be, in the 51-59 range. Knowing more than 2/3 of that would be too chilling. I have no regrets about any I missed.



Like I said - no regrets at what I didn't know.

Time to watch the last 10 years worth of Royal Rumbles to erase from my mind the 42 I was glad I didn't know so that I continue to not know.

You failed to get Ribbon Knight, Candy Candy, Cyborg 009, Macross, Video Girl Ai, Rayearth, Gundam Wing, DBGT, Kenshin, Conan, SMJ, Utena, Ceres, Beck, Gundam Seed, PPD, Busou Renkin, Nana, PPGZ, Ghost Hound and True Tears.

Son, I disappoint. 8)

1. I'm not.
2. I don't remember what I don't watch.
3. Nothing that a good Royal Rumble can't cure.
4. My mother is also my father. You ain't my dad. :P
5. Needs more Last Exile.

Then you've missed out on some good shows. Some, because there is never a good time to watch Gundam Wing. 8)

To quote Jim Ross...

'Be still, my beating heart!' :ouch:

I might try one of those. The rest I'm giving an almighty slobberknocker.
