Yep, that completely seals it for me. For once my initial suspicions were correct. Yay.

Guess I'm not getting this one within the next half-hour, then, because all of the series that I thought it might be have been shot down. Razz

Anyway, since we just hit page 100, the current quote will be the last one for the round. I will start a new thread for Round 9 once time has expired on it, so if it is successfully guessed then the person doing so should hold off on posting a quote until the new thread goes up. (And if it isn't guessed, Vaisaga, then post the answer here even if the new thread has been started.)

Given that spoiler[according to your Anime list you have seen this,] I'm thinking the answer will indeed be painful for you.

Time's up.

This is from spoiler[Seitokai Yakuindomo. A is Kotomi and B is Takatoshi. This happens when they're on summer vacation. Takatoshi is heading to school for student council work, while Kotomi is only then going to bed.]

Man do I love those siblings. I bet people didn't click to it because it wasn't a dirty joke!

Can't tell you how many times I've been in spoiler[Kotomi's] position Laughing

Some comparative stats

Code:
Round   Days    Correct Answers
Eight   132     264
Seven   146     288
Six     217     292
Five    249     310
Four    272     290
Three   187     270
Two     158     257
One     287       ? (Note: 150 pages in round one; only top 10 scores available)


Since round four the trend is to complete the 100 pages more and more quickly. Pardoxically, over the same period there have been fewer and fewer correct answers. This may suggest the game is getting harder but further analysis shows this is not so.

Code:
Round  Correct/Day  Posts/Day  Posts/Correct Guess
Eight  2.00         11.36      5.68
Seven  1.97         10.27      5.21
Six    1.35          6.91      5.14
Five   1.24          6.02      4.84
Four   1.07          5.51      5.17
Three  1.44          8.02      5.56
Two    1.63          9.49      5.84
One       ?          7.84         ?


The number of correct guesses per day is almost double what it was in round four but there is more commentary about the quotes. Not a bad thing, I think.

Huh. And here I was thinking I haven't gotten many quotes recently...

Interesting stats. (The statistician-wannabe within me is doing a happy dance!) Thanks for being so thorough.

And boy, 9th place and only 12 points? That's both my lowest placing and my lowest score ever in this game. My impression is that we had a much higher proportion of quotes from recent (i.e., from the current or immediately previous season) series in this round, and if that's correct, then I suspect that might be part of what's throwing me off here.

Oh, well; I will endeavor to regain my form for next round!

Yeesh, I really dropped this round as well. I'm not sure if a higher number of quotes from recent series could be why, though, as those are often the series I get my own quotes from and comprise the majority of the anime I watch.

Definitely hoping to do better this next round!

Bad round for me. Will definitely do better next round. I should lessen the number of times I pass as well I think. Thanks errinundra! Smile

Interesting stats. Huh, for some reason I thought I was doing badly this round, but I did pretty well! My goal for next time is to break into double-digits for correct guesses.
