For those of you that don't know, easter eggs are hidden messages/footage found on DVD's.
I was hoping if someone know a site that has a list and how to get to easter eggs on Anime DVD's. I've seen some on animeondvd.com but they are lacking at best in this subject. If you could help out that would be much appreciated.

About the only anime I know of with easter eggs is Excel Saga.
Disc 2 (if I remember) has several "adverts" for menchi related meat products - It's good, It's tasty, It's Menchi lol.
Disc 6 contains some newspaper articles - from F City, including a certain Scientist looking for a date, and recruitment for ACROSS.
To find Easter Eggs, you have to be patient and use the cursor on your remote - The adverts in Excel were hard to find - Try moving the cursor away from the menu items, or pressing enter (play) while the screen is changing.
If you have a PC and use PowerDVD, you can manually select the scene (including Easter Eggs) to view, by right clicking and selecting Go To from the sub menu.
Okay, so it's not a web address, you just need to experiment.
Fruits Basket 1 - At the 'Extras' menu, press 0 and 1 in that order on your remote. By doing this, you can listen to blooper clips from the English cast.
Fruits Basket 3 - Repeat said procedure to listen to more dub bloopers and mistakes while enjoying the English version of 'Serenade'.
If you are watching the DVD on your computer, these are available by simply visiting 'Character Profiles' on the 'Extras' menu.

The real Achilles' heel of this title is the lack of a true party dynamic.― Disgaea Mayhem manages to bring the Disgaea formula into the action RPG format successfully, but by the slimmest margin and missing many of the key features that make Disgaea soar.

It may not be an innovative shoujo romance, but it is a very nice one, comfortable like a peanut butter sandwich.― Romance, particularly YA romance, which encompasses shoujo manga, has a reputation for being formulaic.

The musical adventures of the girls bands in BanG Dream! have always been integrated with anime. But as a new entry BanG Dream! YUME∞MITA is even more marinated in said culture. The characters of YUME∞MITA live adjacent to Akihabara, long seen as a mecca of otaku culture in Japan. So, of course these girls are going to be steeped in anime and manga material, and it shapes both their identities and the vibe of YUME∞MITA.
