Kyoto Animation Grills Fans With Trivia Questions Before New Films' Premieres

posted on by Jennifer Sherman

Kyoto Animation is preparing for the upcoming releases of its Free! -Take Your Marks-, Gekijō-ban Hibike! Euphonium: Todoketai Melody, and Eiga Chūnibyō demo Koi ga Shitai! Take On Me films. As a lead-up to their releases, the studio posted tests about previous related anime on Twitter on July 15. However, only diehard fans may be able to answer correctly.

Each 10-question test mimics the format of a real regular exam for high schools in Japan. Kyoto Animation posted tests for Free!'s Iwatobi High School and Samezuka Academy; Sound! Euphonium's Kitauji High School; and Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions!' Ichō Academy.

Some of the questions on the tests are difficult for any but the most devoted fans to answer. For example, the Free! test asks what kind of bird is watching Rin and Sōsuke after the ending animation in Free! -Timeless Medley- Yakusoku. The Sound! Euphonium test asks for the name and meaning of the fermata musical symbol. The Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions! test asks what is in Tōka's hand on the packaging of the anime's fifth home video volume.

Kyoto Animation asked fans to reply to the tweet with their answers. The studio will reveal the correct answers in August. Although plenty of fans have already replied, countless others may still be googling for some time.

Gekijō-ban Hibike! Euphonium: Todoketai Melody (seen right) will debut in Japan on September 30, followed by Free! -Take Your Marks- film will on October 28, and Eiga Chūnibyō demo Koi ga Shitai! Take On Me on January 6.
