Well, I'm at a complete loss here. Yeah, I know I've already had my go, but I am still very much curious. I know I've seen the picture, and very recently at that. That's why I guessed the show I did (I just finished it three days ago). But I cannot for the life of me think of what show it could be.

Hmmm, maybe this is one of those cases whereby when I see something new my brain mistakenly registers it as having already been "filed" so to speak. Or maybe my short-term memory is just lousy. Not a great prospect either way . . .

Sorry, no.

Reposting Picture for the new page:


Hint 1: spoiler[This woman's name is a musical reference.]
Hint 2: spoiler[In the dub she speaks with an accent (I have no idea if her Japanese is accented). I should point out that I'm from the Midwest Unites States (It's pop damnit), so I'd consider anything other than that accented.]
Hint 3: spoiler[She works for the government of a fictitious nation.]

Oh, what was the musical reference? spoiler["Pennylane" being song by the Beatles?] Not that it saves me the disgrace of not recognising her by the dress details Razz, but "musical" was too broad for a hint. Or it was something else?

+1 internets indeed. I actually never found a picture with a name to confirm, but the circumstances were strong enough that I guessed her based on the name and a plot summary.

Next: Who is this?

No, that's was what I was thinking. The trivia section lists a few other Beatles references present in the show too.

Hint #1: spoiler[They did not go in pairs, but this death-seeker did save the protagonists from a natural disaster after some persuasion.]

*turns head slightly*

Looks like Zoids or Digimon season 4, don't it? But it's not in craptastic CG, so it can't be. Laughing

Hint #2: spoiler[Perhaps it is because of her odd but loving family unit that, despite looking like she stepped right out of a conspiracy-filled giant robot post-apocalypse, the heroine of this TV series remains a cheerful girl.]

Hint #3: spoiler[In the fifteen minute episode during which this character first took flight, we are given the suggestion that the nearly human-less world in the setting is caused at least in part by seemingly Asenion warships such as this character.]

It was mostly thanks to the third hint, I had absolutely no idea before that one.
