Thanks to the pre-emptive clues, I've already sent in my answer. Hope it's what I think it is (because that would ROCK seeing as how it's one of my favourite anime).


Yeah, based upon what little that I know about some of the series that are possibilities, I'll presume that it's Higurashi. I know it is a (series of) game(s), and I don't think that they were console games. I don't know too much about the background of Nanoha, but I'm not recalling any games there. Maria-sama's definitely novels. I suppose if I just Wiki it, everything would be much clearer.

EDIT: Of course, I failed to see that Canada is not eligible to win, so even if I was first, nothing would come of it. Darn. At least it got licensed though. I'm happy about that.


Heh... I'm in California, so I could enter if I felt like it (Just why are Hawaii and Alaska ruled out? Are these contests illegal there, or is the postage that much more?). Since I'm only 98% certain (accurately or not's another thing entirely) of the title, I won't bother entering. If it is Higurashi, that's fine; I'll buy it when it gets a collection in a few years. I don't think that it's a series that I'd buy as it comes out on singles. If Geneon were making some people happy by grabbing Air or Kanon (those are games, too, right?), then I won't bother with the new show at all. ^_^;

If this is the license I am thinking it is, and the title most people seem to think, I am overwhelmed with joy. I don't really care that I pretty much missed out on winning the contest, I've been wanting this to be licensed for a while...

Well I have a pretty good idea what it is and even if it's not, which I hope it is, I ACTUALLY love Last Exile TO DEATH and want that prize. SO to me this title is second in my brain.

I think that nanoha would be too easy given that they mentioned it in their last contest as a red herring.


Edit, i have two shows in mind off the top of my head that i think are far more likely.

Their essentially the "Bastard Child" States of the Union where many contests don't wanna bother shipping stuff to them due to the high cost (Um, have these guys heard of the United States Postal Service? Media Mail still exists!!). Nothing illegal about excluding them, just from some folks I know in Hawaii and Alaska, they HATE contests like this. So much to the point they go out of their way not to buy any items associated with the company doing it.

I have a few ideas, but since I can only enter once, I'm hesitating... hmm...
All that I really learned from this clue is that whatever they licensed is probably something I'm not going to want to watch. Razz

well, something (i assume the same thing as everyone else) popped into my head immediately as I just saw it not that long ago.

It fits the criteria and nothing else comes to mind. Could be wrong though. Unless I've missed something obvious, its probly the most well known of any possibilities out there.

I cant win anyway since Im Canadian but its fun to guess anyway.

Sent my entry in a few minutes ago. I have a pretty good idea what the series is, but I'll wait and see what the next couple of clues reveal before I can confirm it. Wink
