Hint #3: spoiler[If you think the typical harem male lead is a loser, you should see the protagonist of this series: record breaking numbers of 0's on exams, being punished for tardiness by standing in the hallway, and forgetting his homework.]

Hint #4: spoiler[Her brother was recently appointed as a Japanese ambassador.]

Yeah well, the fourth hint was the one to do it. Having not seen Doraemon before, I was never going to get it based on hints regarding the series itself. I suppose I should count myself lucky that I read the news from time to time.

Anyway, I have a picture in mind. But since I am for the time being not at a computer with a DVD drive, I won't be able to post it for a while. So as usual, feel free to start a Minigame.



Edit: when will the scores be posted? Just curious.

Yay, another chance (it didn't even get a guess before the main game continued last time) for this Christmas-themed minigame picture:



Who made this snowman?

Tonight's the last night for this round, correct? I'm guessing that dtm42 will start the new game for Q1-2009. Right?

Supposed to be, given the starting date, but as this is a rather prominent holiday, it may be better to just keep going until jetz is ready to start the new topic.

Happy New Year and congratulations to Furudanuki.

This round's most peculiar image intrigued me. Luckily I found the scene on YouTube.

Is my minigame picture not going to get any guesses again? Poor snowman Sad
hint: spoiler[The real city this anime francise is inspired by doesn't see snow very often. Its anime counterpart gets plenty of it though since seasons last twice as long there.]

Okay, this had better go quickly:



An instantly classic moment in Anime, don't you think?

As for whether or not there should be a new thread, my personal opinion is that we should have a new thread each quarter. Keeps it relatively sane.

No, since at least 8 villains in Inuyasha alone are derived from human skeletons and may have a scene such as this.

Wait, you didn't guess? Have you not seen this Anime at all?

And seriously, how many of those eight were depicted with a severely fractured skull and jawbone, with a quarter of their teeth flying into the great beyond?

Even more seriously, look at the filename.

Given that spoiler[7 of them were resurrected from skeletons of violently executed criminals and were then engaged in equally violent encounters,] at least 7 of them have the potential to have such a scene. As for the file name, I've seen it. It's not meaningful, since file names need not be accurate. The picture is, as far as I'm concerned, perfectly legitimate. It is merely not nearly as unique as you think.

Well I don't want this to be a debate chock full of semantics. Let me assure you that this character is not an undead skeleton. They are a human being. One who has unfortunately (for them) been dealt a staggering blow to the face, and lost at least eight teeth. The reason the picture is like this is merely due to the production staff highlighting the unusual severity of the blow by giving us an x-ray view. Therefore, I think it is safe to mention that this effect only lasts a second or two at the most. Also, you may assume that because I found this is so memorable, this effect was only used once in the entire Anime. Find that occasion, and you will find this character.
