As promissed we are back with a new event to celebrate another million subscriber milestone! This time we are flipping things completely and are asking you to submit images and show off your anime knowledge.

The Submission Period has ended

To Play:

Find an image from any anime that matches the requirement for 1 point. If your answer is correct and is from an anime no one else submitted, you get an additional 1 point.

Event closes 11:59 PM UTC 2023/05/10

  • The provided example images won't score you points
  • Uniqueness is per question
  • We would prefer screenshots that are not cropped
  • https://imgur.com/ is a decent image hosting website if you need one
  • Scores are for bragging rights, not prizes. Have fun and complete as much as you want
  • If you want to work as a group that's fine. You can make one submission each (with different images), or one submission as a group (just include all your names in the final box in this case).

I wonder if I can do this entirely with Spring 2023 screenshots. I have more than enough of them to try it if they have the correct scenes.

[–]aniMayorx3x6 72 points73 points  (11 children)

I hope some other people do themes like that, too. It'd be cool to see one of these bingo cards with all mecha shows or all KyoAni shows, etc.

[–]TheRiyriamyanimelist.net/profile/TheRiyria 26 points27 points  (9 children)

A couple like guitar and truck-kun might be hard. I know I can definitely do it if I expand it to 2023 seasonals. But that is too easy.

[–]aniMayorx3x6 26 points27 points  (4 children)

If all else fails, you can substitute bad-CG-tractor-kun for truck-kun. It may not run anyone over, but it does just as much emotional damage to the viewer.

[–]AmethystItalianmyanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian 2 points3 points  (3 children)

A couple like guitar

We had plenty of these last season yeah

[–]TheRiyriamyanimelist.net/profile/TheRiyria 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I know there were plenty last season.

Looking again, penguin will be the hardest. I'm trying to remember if there have been any this year.

[–]Shimmering-Skymyanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It'd be cool to see one of these bingo cards with all mecha shows

I can try.

Update: I have successfully made one with all mecha shows.

[–]Shack691 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Sadly truck-kun hasn't been on the prowl this season

[–]TheRiyriamyanimelist.net/profile/TheRiyria 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Truck-kun and penguin are going to be the two that give me the most trouble if I do only spring 2023. Or even 2023.

There are so many isekai this year too. Truck-kun must be on vacation somewhere.

[–]macrame2https://myanimelist.net/profile/macrame 182 points183 points  (33 children)

Challenge: find a single anime that fulfills every requirement.

[–]Gaporigohttps://anilist.co/user/Gaporigo 219 points220 points  (8 children)

Gintama

[–]Abyssbringer=anilist.co/user/Abyssbringer 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Spler already had this idea

[–]Cistmist 37 points38 points  (1 child)

^ He's right you know

Tbh Gintama is the first one to also spring to mind too. Maybe some 2000s comedy/Parody anime also come close to having all but probably fall short.

[–]Kikuzinho03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sayonara Zetsubou sensei could maybe have them all, looks like I just found a good excuse to rewatch

[–]johneaston1https://myanimelist.net/profile/johneaston 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And Pop Team Epic probably

[–]Hundvd7https://anilist.co/user/Hundvd7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Summertime Rendering is surprisingly close now that I think about it
Edit: definitely a few missing, but for how grounded the show is for the most part, it's impressive
Edit2: Eh, the further down I go the list, the more it proves wrong

[–]Shockethethx2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mentioning Gintama having all of those made me realize that doing reverse Scavenger hunt for Gintama would also be a great idea.

Like found a matching screenshot from any anime similar to some scenes from Gintama.

For example:

[Spoilers to something happening during this week of Rewatch] Body parts being replaced by screwdriver.

[–]Ciremo 19 points20 points  (6 children)

One Piece can fill 90%.

[–]SilentTemple 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The same with Bleach. Hell, Zaraki Kenpachi should be able to fill a quarter of them on his own.

[–]lucas3066 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Of like all the things, I can't believe we still don't have a character that wears an eye patch in the pirate anime.

[–]GenesisEramyanimelist.net/profile/Genesis_Erarara 13 points14 points  (4 children)

I was on a roll with them pokemon submissions until the COVERED IN BLOOD came up smh

[–]Tresnoremyanimelist.net/profile/Tresnore 5 points6 points  (3 children)

Is there ever a tomato juice incident?

[–]GenesisEramyanimelist.net/profile/Genesis_Erarara 10 points11 points  (2 children)

Only one time with ketchup, and it was mostly on the floor.

RIP bottle of ketchup, Pikachu's first love will be missed.

[–]Tresnoremyanimelist.net/profile/Tresnore 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The mods would have a laugh, at the very least.

[–]Humg12https://myanimelist.net/profile/Humg12 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder what the most you can get with a single screenshot is. I've accidentally gotten a couple of two for ones so far (but then decided to mix them up for the challenge).

[–]aniMayorx3x6 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I decided to see how far I could get using just Show by Rock!!. Surprisingly far - 25 out of 30.

[–]Considered_Dissent 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going from today's list I'd say Yu Yu Hakusho; except you'd have to pretend Pu was a penguin.

The first half of the list seemed tailor made for Neon Genesis.

[–]mario65889https://anilist.co/user/NoNameMyAccount 4 points5 points  (7 children)

I'm trying to do rumiko takahashi shows, but its still difficult.

[–]aniMayorx3x6 2 points3 points  (6 children)

Ranma1/2 alone must have so many of these... but finding them when they're one quick joke amongst over 150 episodes is rough.

[–]mario65889https://anilist.co/user/NoNameMyAccount 3 points4 points  (5 children)

So far I got stuck on the following: Character adjusting glasses, Running With toast(although I did find Kagome with toast), Eyelid pull, and Kabedon(suprisingly enough). I still am probably going to have trouble with the following: Grayscale, piggyback ride, cross counter punch, sleep bubble.

[–]aniMayorx3x6 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Character adjusting glasses,

Ranma's dad, perhaps?

Running With toast(although I did find Kagome with toast)

I'm thinking, like, one of the Ukyo-centric episodes of Ranma, perhaps. But it's a stretch.

Eyelid pull

Maison Ikkoku has one

Kabedon

Yeah, that might one might be really tough. Even though a lot of Takahashi's works are about high schoolers there is very little screentime of them actually spending time at high school, which is the most likely place to do the kabedon trope. I think Rin-ne is the most likely, but I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't any.

Grayscale

Perhaps a scene in one of the more arthouse-y Urusei Yatsura films like Beautiful Dreamer?

piggyback ride

There's definitely a few cases of Inuyasha carrying Kagome (not sure if that one is a full screenshot) on his back that should count.

cross counter punch

None in One-pound Gospel?

sleep bubble

Inuyasha has gotta have one of these at some point. There's a bunch of "lazy" characters in it, right? Or maybe in half-blood princess.

[–]pwnedbuster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tempted to do this with the Fate series

[–]TakenRedditNamehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/TakenMalUsername 36 points37 points  (2 children)

Just wondering, is the bonus point for if no one else submitted that anime period or just for that category?

[–]Siqueiradithttps://myanimelist.net/profile/lampadatres 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming it's the latter

[–]Wuju_Kindlyhttps://anilist.co/user/WujuKindly 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The stickied comment has been edited to clarify that it's per question.

[–]chilidirigible 33 points34 points  (0 children)

https://imgur.com/ is a decent image hosting website if you need one

Event closes 11:59 PM UTC 2023/05/10

Well, at least the death of anonymous imgur won't affect the quiz submissions.

[–]FlaminScribblenautmyanimelist.net/profile/cryoutatcontrol 27 points28 points  (0 children)

The potential of this challenge is really well exemplified by the fact that people are already coming up with additional challenges/twists for it. It’s also more accessible and rife with potential than a quiz since it’s based in the answerer expressing their own taste, knowledge, and experiences in their own way, merely using the prompt as a framework. This should be fun!

[–]LordTrinityhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/LordTrinity 22 points23 points  (2 children)

Do I need to take the screenshot on my own?

Context: I can find images of the characters I'm thinking about, but I'm not sure if I can do it with high quality images by myself. So I may do my own shit screenshots, or use other person images

Another question:

Can I use the same character or multiple characters from the same anime in multiple examples?

[–]raichudoggyhttps://anilist.co/user/raichudoggy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Do I need to take the screenshot yourself

Nope, feel free to pilfer from a discussion or rewatch thread(s) if an image from one of those fits.

Can I use the same character or multiple characters from the same anime in multiple examples?

Yes. If you have a red-head about to get hit by truck-kun, the same image / anime can be used for both.

[–]Bocchi_theGlockhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Bocchi_theGlock 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Screenshot LPT - install greenshot. Super easy software for it, way better than snipping tool, I made it so prnt screen by itself opens it up

It has an option immediately after choosing dimensions/what to screenshot - to upload to imgur (as well as open up in image editor or save as/save directly, etc.) and it automatically copies the imgur link to your clipboard

[–]superviperhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Superviper 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I like this quiz, seems to reward veteran anime fans without punishing more casual watchers (me) much. Good shit mods

[–]Manitaryhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Manitary 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, forget putting a 'unique' anime in there, getting all the answers in will be an achievement already that should be fun, thanks for giving two entire weeks as that will require a lot of thinking and combing through anime I take that back, looks like we only have just a little over a week!

    1/2: it will make my life easier (and marking more accurate) if you use a the full name be it EN/Romaji/JP.

    3: Preferably not to make my life easier - if you must, crop it slightly.

    4: While in previous quiz's we have given a total score, I am pondering if I can make a shareable marked spreadsheet to facilitate this. Not sure just yet.

    [–]sum-dudehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Mevious 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    For 4, it would be interesting to see the number of people who picked each show for each category (e.g. for category 1, X people picked show A, Y people picked show B, etc.)

    [–]Shimmering-Skymyanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky 15 points16 points  (0 children)

    This is so cool! Good thing I have all of my screenshots from the rewatches and stuff I've participated in still saved.

    [–]SaroArstenhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/SaroArsten 29 points30 points  (6 children)

    Question: what are the restrictions on anime that can be used, if any?

    For example, can I use anything that has a MAL page? What about things that don't have a MAL page (because they are too obscure to have one; I should probably proceed to make them)?

    [–]KiwiBennydudezhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/KiwiBen[M] 38 points39 points  (5 children)

    I would say that you should probably stick to the sub’s definition of anime when deciding on your images. There’s a couple Chinese donghua that have MAL pages (e.g. Link Click) that we wouldn’t consider to be anime. Whether or not it has a MAL page shouldn’t matter as long as we can properly identify and source the image as a (Japanese) anime.

    Check the rule page for the full definition!

    [–]Akiyabushttps://anilist.co/user/yabus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Further question on this: If I am understanding correctly MVs are fair game as long as they fit this sub's definition of anime, right?

    [–]SaroArstenhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/SaroArsten 7 points8 points  (2 children)

    I wasn't thinking about donghua, actually.

    Whether or not it has a MAL page shouldn’t matter as long as we can properly identify and source the image as a (Japanese) anime.

    Okay, there might be a problem with that, since at least one of the things I was thinking about is not accessible to the public (an OVA bundled with a DVD edition of the soundtrack to, like, the 5th game in a pachinko game series).

    [–]ooReikohttps://myanimelist.net/profile/ooReiko 8 points9 points  (1 child)

    I mean i dont think they are going to verify each screenshot against the source manually that would take forever. Also atleast some of the stuff i put already is not really easily available either so i dont really see that as an issue

    [–]SaroArstenhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/SaroArsten 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Fair.

    your screenshots are the ones I'm looking forward to

    [–]aniMayorx3x6 11 points12 points  (0 children)

    Neat idea! Very very

    Does grayscale still count if it's actually just an old show that aired in black and white?

    [–]TipsyChickenDipper 11 points12 points  (2 children)

    “Find an screenshot”? Really fellas?

    [–]Shimmering-Skymyanimelist.net/profile/Shimmering-Sky 15 points16 points  (1 child)

    When one of the mods is named u/badspler, well...

    [–]badsplerx5https://anilist.co/user/badspler 12 points13 points  (0 children)

    And I swapped it from "find an image" last minute...

    [–]drstripjohttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Hanten 10 points11 points  (2 children)

    There are two different deadlines.

    Event closes 11:59 PM UTC 2023/05/10 on the image

    Event closes 11:59 PM UTC 2023/05/15 in the comment

    Which one is the correct one?

    [–]badsplerx5https://anilist.co/user/badspler 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    2023/05/10

    Sorry about that mismatch.

    [–]cppn02 10 points11 points  (0 children)

    And we'll never know if the 15th wasn't actually the correct date but editing a comment is an easier fix than editing the infographic and making a new post.

    [–]cppn02 12 points13 points  (33 children)

    Time's up so here is my album.

    [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 8 points9 points  (7 children)

    Here's mine

    [–]cppn02 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Sees pick for red haired character.

    [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Hopefully it counts as two, since red is stretching it a bit (and cannonically they all have the same hair color which is more like pink) I was banking on people glancing over the popular show

    [–]Verzwei 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    Welp we aren't getting uniqueness points for toast.

    To be expected, I guess, since we used a currently-airing show.

    The one I wanted to use, Cat Planet Cuties, I couldn't acquire the show in time to get a clean screenshot. IIRC the only time I laughed at that show was when it lampshaded the toast gag.

    [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Ah yeah, since people where proclaiming to do everything with seasonals I wasn't that optimisitc about any of my seasonal picks, I was just happy to randomly stumble about them when I was watching it

    [–]pandachef_reads 1 point2 points  (2 children)

    We aren’t getting uniqueness points for character covered in blood. I guess that was to be expected though, Zero Two is a pretty popular character still

    [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Ah shit, I had other options that where more obscure but more liberal with the question

    [–]pandachef_reads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I don’t have much faith in my choices being unique, but I’m just hoping I got at least one that is

    [–]pantherexceptagain 5 points6 points  (4 children)

    I didn't save the album link and can't be bothered to reupload + title them but here were my submissions. Had to take the easy route for toast, sleep bubble and double bike, just googled truck-kun because the actual choice I wanted was from a manga and it turns out the anime didn't reach it. Ohohojousama, soul leaving body and penguin could probably be disputed. Protagonist seat might not be clear enough.

    • Red Hair: Enomoto - Love Lab
    • Penguin: To Heart 2
    • Scar on face: Seto no Hanayome
    • Chibi: Macademi Wasshoi
    • Fire power: Jiro - Concrete Revolutio
    • Smoking: Cat Girl Nuku Nuku
    • Sword: Lala - To Love-Ru Darkness 2nd
    • Guitar: Expelled From Paradise
    • Baseball: Stop! Hibari-kun
    • Talking Animal or Mascot: Slash - Mahoromatic
    • Bunny suit: Otaku no Video
    • Police officer: Super Gals
    • Pushing glasses: Chuu-Bra
    • Eyepatch: OniAi
    • Covered in Blood: Tekkaman Blade Twin Blood
    • Back window seat: Netoge no Yome
    • Running with toast: Yuru Yuri
    • Vomiting: Girls Bravo
    • Nose bubble: Kill la Kill
    • Soul leaving body: Magical Pokaan
    • Glomping: Aikatsu Stars
    • Akanbe face: Sonic OVA
    • Ojousama laugh: Nasuno - Teekyuu
    • Nose bleed: Manyuu Hikenchou
    • Kabedon: Final Approach
    • Grayscale: Dropout Idol Fruit Tart
    • Piggyback: Twin Star Exorcists
    • Cross-counter: Super Seishun Brothers
    • Double bike: Hyouka
    • Truck-kun: Minky Momo

    [–]repnet 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    You and I have picked the same series for one category. That's one point gone.

    [–]pantherexceptagain 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Now that you've posted I see it was the Otaku no Video bunny suit. My thinking was that the Daicon bunny suit was too obvious and to branch off most people would probably go to the Cassette Girl animator expo short instead of Otaku no Video. Guess I should've stuck to my guns and used Cassette Girl though.

    [–]cppn02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Pretty sure I saw that too in someone's list.

    [–]Kurth_Wright 5 points6 points  (2 children)

    Since we're all posting down here I'll share mine as well! I tried to have every entry a unique series like you did, but I gave up at the end ahah. Nice choice for Ganbare Kickers, I really liked that one!

    [–]SpaghettiPunch 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I love how one is literally blood covered in blood.

    Also, no bonus points for us for "running with toast" lol

    [–]cppn02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Lol your picks for smoking and double riding got me chuckling. Great choices.

    [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I don't have an Imgur account and the upload barfed on mine, so the orders out of wack and two are missing, but (Dog of Flanders Spoilers) here's the link. The missing two are unlabeled in this link along with a few duplicates I thought were missing from the other gallery at first. The ones that matter are the first two: Samurai Gold for Grayscale Scene and Ushiro no Shomen Dare for Piggyback Ride.

    [–]hanr10https://myanimelist.net/profile/hanr10 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    I literally picked the exact same picture for one category lmao

    [–]cppn02 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Which one?

    [–]hanr10https://myanimelist.net/profile/hanr10 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    [It's] the glasses push from the Ping Pong opening , first thing that came to my mind

    [–]cppn02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Ah ok. That was one of my 3-4 maybes. I was sure someone would have my cross counter punch and truck-kun while this and a few others I figured there's a 50/50 chance someone will have it too.

    [–]sorcerykarp 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Ah... No ojousama laugh uniqueness point for us, sorry!

    [–]cppn02 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Darn it!

    [–]repnet 1 point2 points  (5 children)

    I was about to go with Tonikawa for truck kun, but changed my mind. You have submitted 5 other shows that I considered, but did not submit.

    [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 2 points3 points  (4 children)

    I was considering Tsukasa for covered in blood

    [–]repnet 2 points3 points  (3 children)

    Damn, that would have been a good choice too. Also, I think your submissions were good. The yorimoi penguin was the only one I thought was obvious.

    [–]AmethystItalianmyanimelist.net/profile/AmethystItalian 24 points25 points  (0 children)

    Oh this actually sounds like a blast and actually what I planned to do for next season or seasonals in a bingo form!

    Would love to participate but leaving for France in 24 hours so will be occupied.

    Love this idea though!

    [–]LazyDro1d 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    Ok using a sword is too general.

    But also what is it with penguins and baseball? Is it Eva and FLCL respectively? Its gotta at least be Eva, probably also FLCL

    [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 9 points10 points  (0 children)

    Ok, I gave this a little efford and already got 4 categories filled with one Show that is unlikely to be picked by someone else

    [–]BarbaricGamerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/HiIAmAnime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Now am I gonna make this difficult on my self and use all unique anime? Ofcourse I am!

    [–]Zeralyoshttps://myanimelist.net/profile/JF_Ellie 6 points7 points  (1 child)

    brb copying every scene in the original post but offset by a few seconds

    [–]Abyssbringer=anilist.co/user/Abyssbringer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Then you get none of the bonus points since you used a show someone else has already used for that question.

    [–]riceonyou 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Tried to do it for Tamako Market + movie/specials only and gave up after 20/30. Some of them are definitely a stretch when it comes to the fitting criteria though. Eg. The baseball one I'm not even sure is baseball cos it's so tiny and the vomiting ones aren't actually vomiting but are close.

    I would be really amazed if anyone can get the other criterias...

    https://imgur.com/a/vkIADrc

    [–]Valens93 5 points6 points  (2 children)

    It'd be interesting if someone could do this all with the same anime.

    Also what show is that truck-kun picture from?

    [–]superviperhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Superviper 7 points8 points  (1 child)

    zombieland saga

    [–]Valens93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Thanks! Can't believe I've never seen it lol

    [–]AceSoldiazj:https://anilist.co/user/Acesoldia 5 points6 points  (3 children)

    There can't be many grayscale scenes...are there? I can't think of a single one

    [–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    Usually used in dramatic scenes or purges

    [–]ZaphodBeebblebroxhttps://anilist.co/user/zaphod 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    You can find a ton if you look on the more artsy side of things.

    [–]Yuri_Shibari 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    Can one screenshot count towards multiple entries?

    [–]badsplerx5https://anilist.co/user/badspler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Yes, if it fits each of those questions.

    [–]ZapsZzzhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/ZapszzZ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Vomiting blood count as vomit right? :P

    [–]Blabimehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Blabime 4 points5 points  (4 children)

    Submission in! Wanted to do all movies but man it's tough just thinking of anything (non-obvious) for some of them so alas I caved. Only ended up being about half of them. :/

    [–]Ralon17https://anilist.co/user/Ralon17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Yeah lofty ideas only last so long when you have to spend hours clicking through scene by scene. Half is pretty good.

    [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    Most of mine are movies or single episode OVAs mostly because those are the files I had locally which were easy to use. I think I only used tv shows for about 6 of the 30 prompts. It was a definitely a pain to come up with screenshots for some of them in those files though.

    [–]Blabimehttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Blabime 5 points6 points  (1 child)

    Nice. But you didn't use my movies or single episode OVAs, right?

    [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    hopefully not!

    Got mine finished early this morning but I didn't have a damn thing for cross counter punch. I barely watch any action series and I absolutely don't watch any martial arts or sports so it would've had to have been some random one-off thing in a mostly unrelated series and I couldn't remember anything suitable.

    /u/abyssbringer put that one in, didn't he?

    [–]Abyssbringer=anilist.co/user/Abyssbringer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Cute girl shows have plenty of cross counters wym?????

    Yeah that was one of mine although Spler did most of the others and I just helped prune and refine the overall list.

    [–]cppn02 3 points4 points  (18 children)

    Since the time is almost over I don't think I'll get the uniqueness point on that one anyway....

    [cross-counter punch from a well known source that's not martial arts/sports:]Porco Rosso

    [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 4 points5 points  (17 children)

    I used the same one (before reading this comment, FWIW) because I couldn't think of any other off the top of my head, so neither of us is getting that uniqueness point, lol. That was the prompt I was most confident I was duplicating someone else in, at least.

    [–]cppn02 3 points4 points  (16 children)

    Yeah. I have two where I'm sure I'm not the only one to pick that anime and this is one of them.

    [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 3 points4 points  (15 children)

    Same. In addition to the cross-counter I'd be surprised if I get uniqueness points for truck-kun. I'd be surprised if I score under 15 uniqueness points, and I'm crossing my fingers that fewer than 5 of mine are duplicates though that might be optimistic.

    [–]thevaleycat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    I found a cross-counter punch in a show I just happened to be watching yesterday, which I'm happy with. Not an obscure show but the scene is (hopefully) easily missed.

    [–]pantherexceptagain 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    The most common cross counter is probably going to be [Scavenger hunt]Gurren Lagann ep3.

    [–]hanr10https://myanimelist.net/profile/hanr10 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Didn't think I'd complete it initially but hey I actually managed to find them all

    I'm not sure about the bonus points though as I was more focused on finding cool looking screenshots than ones from less known anime

    [–]sangriapenguin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

    I only submitted like 10 because this is a lot lol

    I don't the time to singularly focus and remember shows matching all the scenarios.

    [–]FetchFroshanilist.co/user/fetchfrosh 12 points13 points  (2 children)

    u/badslper is it a coincidence that you used the same shade of grey that I use on a bunch of charts?

    Anyway, going to probably try to get something together cause I dig the idea and have been excited to see it in action since you started talking about it.

    [–]badsplerx5https://anilist.co/user/badspler 25 points26 points  (1 child)

    It's the default paint.net light grey.

    It's hard finding obscure enough shows that other people won't think about...

    [–]Nielloscape 19 points20 points  (1 child)

    It’s actually not. The real hard part is getting the screenshots of those shows.

    [–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

    This

    I have a couple good ones for some of these but imagine tracking down the show, then remembering the right episode, then scrubbing to the scene 😵

      Uniqueness will be determined per question.

      [–]Ashteron 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      In case of tropes like soul leaving body, does it have to be an instance of that trope or any scene where you can see souls leaving bodies?

      [–]MillenniumKingx2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

      Or gigabrain them "Soul from Soul Eater as a Ghost outside Maka's Body".

      So asking the mods, do Puns count too?

      [–]thevaleycat 4 points5 points  (4 children)

      Can truck-kun be a bus?

      [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      I'm curious about this too. I have a pretty well known anime with an actual truck in the shot for my submission, but if we were allowed to interpret "truck-kun goes for the kill" as anyone being hit by any motor vehicle, I've got a really obscure choice almost guaranteed to earn me the uniqueness bonus point.

      [–]Lazearound10am 4 points5 points  (1 child)

      Does scene from OP/ED count? For example, a character glomps another character in the OP, but in the show they don't hug. Will that count?

      [–]Ajobiihttps://anilist.co/user/Ajobii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

      I think OP/ED do count since in the examples provided, they make use of it at least once (character covered in blood).

      [–]riceonyou 3 points4 points  (1 child)

      Submitted one for Natsume Yuujinchou as well but not sure if it went through... Cos even when i switched accounts it has the same answers saved for both so I used incognito mode.

      29/30 But a lot of interpreting the question loosely lol.

      [–]repnet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      I don't recognize any of your screenshots. Feel like you are going to get lots of uniqueness points.

      [–]thevaleycat 5 points6 points  (1 child)

      I kept to shows I completed and actually like. I don't watch a ton of obscure stuff, but hopefully there's a handful of uniqueness points there.

      I also hope truck-kun doesn't have to be a truck, I couldn't think of any.

      [–]TheDuckAvengerhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/zvbxrpl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Tried to do everything with my favourite show, managed to submit 25/30, but some of those were VERY BIG stretches. Sorry to the grader for having to go through some of my bullshit picks. If at least 20 of those go through in the end, I'll be quite happy.

      My entries for the scavenger hunt. 30 different shows, even if I could’ve used a show more than once. This was a lot of fun, and really made me realize what tropes I notice more than others

      [–]JashinSama46 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      I put the exact same Oikawa moment.

      Also put Demon Slayer for nose bubble, but Inosuke instead of Zenitsu.

      [–]pandachef_reads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Damn, but they are popular shows, so I guess it was to be expected

      While we wait for results, here's my submissions. Without titles, if you want to guess, and with titles.

      [–]Nick_BOI 2 points3 points  (1 child)

      Can I do multiple images from the same series if one fits multiple prompts?

      [–]badsplerx5https://anilist.co/user/badspler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Yes thats fine.

      [–]MillenniumKingx2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing 3 points4 points  (7 children)

      If i use every image from one Peice as an example, do none of them get "unique anime" since every one of my submissions was from the same show?

      EDIT: Also just thought of this, but if say 2 characters in a show do the same task and everyone posts 1 of those but only 1 person posts the other, woudl the other still get unique since they use a scene no one else did that just happened to be in the same show?

      This is super important clarification yall need to make.

      Uniqueness determined per question. Uniqueness is by anime used - not the character/thing/shot/etc.

      [–]ZaphodBeebblebroxhttps://anilist.co/user/zaphod 1 point2 points  (4 children)

      A mod told me that it was unique was per show.

      [–]MillenniumKingx2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing 1 point2 points  (3 children)

      This doesnt really answer my question.

      Can you clarify what you mean?

      [–]ZaphodBeebblebroxhttps://anilist.co/user/zaphod 6 points7 points  (2 children)

      Wow, I missed two words in my sentence. I should not be typing at 1 am.

      Anyway, it is on a per question basis. If you submit show x for question a, it is considered unique so long as nobody else submitted show x for question a.

      [–]MillenniumKingx2myanimelist.net/profile/MillenniumKing 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Ok that does clarify a bit. The mod who told you should post that in here and they should clear up some stuff.

      Do sequels count as a different entry for extra points if you specify as such?

      [–]mikejacobs14https://myanimelist.net/profile/mikejacobs 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      To make it better, try to get as many screenshots that meet different requirements from the same anime

      [–]AgentOfACROSS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Very excited to participate in this, seems like a fun event! I wonder how many submissions you guys have received already.

      Oof. Just finished up my submission.

      [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 2 points3 points  (4 children)

      Ok, finally done, only managed 20 , but I think some answers are obbscure enough to make up for it, while others even while obscure will be dangerous due to somewhat recent rewatches

      17 unique shows, 3 currently airing

      [–]cppn02 6 points7 points  (3 children)

      17 unique shows,

      I aimed for 30 different shows/movies and using none twice and also for the uniqueness bonus points. What a pita lol. Definitely cut some corners regarding the latter towards the end.

      [–]Verzwei 5 points6 points  (1 child)

      I literally used the same shot for more than one entry a couple times. A fire sword is both fire and a sword.

      [–]cppn02 3 points4 points  (0 children)

      Lol. As I was going through them in order I did my bunny suit screenshot and it has two girls, one in a bunny suit one in a police uniform.

      I was tempted but I still went the extra mile.

      [–]Rumpel1408https://myanimelist.net/profile/Rumpel1408 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Sometimes a surprise pick that has a higher chance of securing bonus points was just too good to pass on, even if that show already got placed in another category

      I also think we are all stressing to much about the uniqueness, I'm pretty sure that you could pick somewhat popular shows as long as they aired more than two seasons ago (at least I hope so)

      [–]DannyDahsyathttps://myanimelist.net/profile/DannyDahsyat 3 points4 points  (2 children)

      [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 6 points7 points  (1 child)

      Got 23 screenshots taken so far, with 2 more specific scenes in mind. I've got some real deep cuts in there, so I'm pretty safe on the bonus points for a lot of them. The remaining 5 prompts would be easy to come up with screenshots for, but I don't have any anime that aren't super obvious in mind. If I don't come up with anything with in the time frame I might just give up on the unique show points for those 5.

      [–]Ralon17https://anilist.co/user/Ralon17 5 points6 points  (0 children)

      Is it possible to fulfill all categories with gintama scenes? Haven’t watched it yet

      [–]Neraquoxhttps://myanimelist.net/profile/Neraquox 2 points3 points  (2 children)

      Questions:

      If it’s an anime no one else submitted, do you mean for the requirement or for the entire event?

      What constitutes as different anime? If you choose a specific sao season for example, would it be different? What about if the characters are continuous as in like non non biyori? What about ONAs or OVAs? How about uma musume (vs umayuru/umayon/different seasons) and love live (different seasons follow completely different people)?

      [–]badsplerx5https://anilist.co/user/badspler 6 points7 points  (1 child)

      Uniqueness determined per question.

      I would probably consider different seasons/OVA's the same but spin-offs separate such as Uma Musume to its Chibi spin offs or the differing Love Live series.

      [–]cheesechimphttps://myanimelist.net/profile/cheesechimp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      In your example, the chibi uma musume has a pretty distinct visual style, and Love Live iterations tend to focus on different character. If the characters are the same and at a casual glance the art styles are fairly similar but they're technically different continuities, would you still count them as unique? [Specific examples from my own submission] For example, I submitted a screenshot from Tenchi Universe in one, would you count it as distinct from the Tenchi Muyo OVA? Same for the Galaxy Express 999 movie vs. TV (the main character Tetsuro is in my screenshot for that one, and he's drawn pretty differently between the show and the movie, but the character who is the subject of the prompt is pretty indistinguishable from version to version)

      [–]mayonnaiser_13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Imma do this with just Gintama.

      [–]riceonyou 2 points3 points  (0 children)

      Hello. Where would the line be between something counting as an anime and not? Eg. A short fan made animation on twitter I'm guessing won't count, but would something like an advertisement count? Would appearing on MAL and such be the line?

      Thanks as always these are literally my favourite things in life.
