100% (15/15), half were really easy, the other half was a bit tougher. I admit the Saber Marionette one was a complete shot in the dark since I knew it was Saber Marionette, but not sure WHICH one.

13/15 - missed Blue Gender and Saber Marionette.

These are very fun though! Thanks for doing this, and I hope you continue to do more.

And I only got six right, two of which were guesses. And I only knew one of the four because Zac brought up Hyper Police on Twitter earlier.

I really ought to watch Princess Nine and You're Under Arrest at some point.

11 for me

It's not showing a score for me so I had to grade myself. still it was a fun exercise. even if people did complain calling them obscure would have been a better fit.

Got 12/15 though I have only seen 5 of them, and knew about 4 others

Well with the Saber Marionette J one you just had to remember that R was a spinoff that had different characters, and J to X looks significantly worse than J did.

Results, yes, but where are the answers? Is this like "ask the audience" in Millionaire, you just assume the majority is right? What about ones like the 3/4 Marionette answers where there's only 3 votes difference (probably has changed by now) between two of the answers, and the other picture that had less than 5% difference between the top two?

I actually own all three but haven't watched them in over a decade so that threw me a little. It was kind of a mean question but that makes it fun.

Sorry, BUG.

It's been fixed.

In case you missed them, you can see the results here:

Cool, thanks!

Looks like I missed 3 (the "which Saber Marionette is this" one, You're Under Arrest, and Haunted Junction).

I never saw J to X (only J and J Again), so I figured that one was right since the uniform and hairstyles are unfamiliar to me, and though I hadn't seen R, knew that it had very different character designs (so they wouldn't have looked so similar to the characters I knew from J)

Anyone who knows katakana has an instant cheat on the one with a copyright line. Though I was already leaning towards the correct answer (did prevent me from second guessing myself, though...)

I'm glad someone likes it. Off the top of my head, I can't remember any other shows that ANN has just straight up given an "F".

10/15

I've only watched Princess Nine, though I knew 2 others on sight (You're Under Arrest and Steel Angel Kurumi) - oh, and Saber Marionette, except, HAH, I can't differentiate between series and I got that one wrong.

Haha, way to lure us into a false sense of confidence, Jake and Zac. "Oh, Escaflowne, yeah, this survey should be easy en--- well crap." You cheeky, little trolls. Wink

Got4, 5, 7, 8, 11, 13, 14 right. Which isn't to bad since there weren't many on the list that I had seen. I know the thumbnail was Escaflowne, so I was hoping for similar titles.

I got 14/15 correct, I'd never seen Nightwalker or Angel Sanctuary, and made a wrong guess. Razz

Most of them aren't "classic" per se, but a lot of them reflect that 90's light-hearted/positive energy, and it goes to show just how much anime released back in the day, and how much of it has unfortunately been forgotten.
