Name That Anime!

[Fishtie]

Hey, I know that one. It's Seto No Hanayome, right?

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Bulls eye, hombre.

 

[Fishtie]

I was actually about to pass it off as 'I can't tell' because everything is so lacking in contrast but Luna really stood out on the end there.

Anyways...

Let's all take a step back to 1989 for a nice ol' giant-robot-police-procedural.

(Man finding a good picture without the name plastered on it is hard...)

 

[Fury Is Me.]

...Gundam?

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

No. Too old and the mechs look reasonable.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

...Super Gundam Police force?

 

[XThecommander]

Pokemon! No doubt about it.
I choose you, Giant robot!
shoot the enemy trainer!

 

[Fishtie]

No, no, and no; but stay classy Xandus, you'll get it one day.

 

[Steppin Razor]

No. Too old and the mechs look reasonable.

1989...too old...for Gundam?

Yu-Gi-Oh!

I know I've got it right this time!

Wrong! It's clearly Bakugan Battle Brawlers, not this silly childrens card game business.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

No, it's quite Obviously Heartcatch Precure. Those are obviously Fairies XD.

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Wait a second! Of course! Its Tokyo Mew Mew.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Seriously, Fishtie, what is it? YOUR GM DEMANDS IT!

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Tokyo mew mew. Duuh!

 

[Saboten]

Haha hint...??

 

[Fishtie]

Oh my, you really are all flummoxed aren't you? That makes me sad, this show needs more love.

Alright then, hints hints hints.

Masami Yuki wrote the original Manga. There were also 3 movies and 2 OVAs. The giant robots in question are called labor (that figures into the series name btw).

That should be enough for someone to sniff out the right answer.

 

[Sacman]

I know it used to play on T.V. all the time...<.< damn I know I've seen it before...

 

[Steppin Razor]

*searchez ze Goggle*
Ah, I see. I've had this series on my list to watch for an incredibly long time now.

 

[Fury Is Me.]

Patlabor!

 

[Vesuvius Hetlan]

Holy FUCK! Mobile Police Patlabor?

 

[Fishtie]

Incidentally Mobile Suit Gundam first ran in 1979 and 1980 making it older by a decade. [/nerd]
