Guess this show!

[oyceter]

Stolen from sophia_helix! Because I love "Guess the..." games.

Ten TV shows (both anime and TV) that I have watched or am still watching. I took three keywords from the IMDB descriptions. I'll post answers later.

1. Sexual tension, cellular phone, famous opening theme
2. Janitor, title spoken by character, sitcom
3. Steampunk, racism, resurrection
4. Female soldier, class conflict, cargo
5. Child soldier, martial arts, bison
6. Interracial relationship, double life, surveillance
7. Neo noir, homosexual demon, attempted child murder
8. Knight, classical music, creation story
9. Sibling incest subtext, memory loss, biracial child
10. Double suicide, loneliness, religious symbolism, sliced in two, decapitation, strangulation, doll, crushed head, filicide, hanging, erection, face slap, blood splatter (I had to put them all in! Come on! How awesome is it that one show has all these keywords?!)

Is #5 Avatar - The Last Airbender?

[oyceter]

Yup! Yay bison!

[cychi.livejournal.com]

#9 - Angel Sanctuary?

[oyceter]

Nope, but good guess! Though I'd say AS's sibling incest has gone waaaaaaaay beyond subtext.

[popfantastic.livejournal.com]

3 = Fullmetal Alchemist?

Is 6 MI-5? Because I haven't yet watched that show, but I'll make educated guesses any day.

I hope 7 is Angel, or else there's some other show I need to know about.

[oyceter]

Yes to all three! I am dying for someone to guess 10, since that was the most fun to look up.

[popfantastic.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm guessing it's anime!

[oyceter]

How did you ever guess? ;)

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

#1 - The X Files
#3 - Fullmetal Alchemist
#6 - Alias
#9 - Heroes (though I don't see the incestuous subtext myself)
#10 - Is this X? It seems like it should be X.

[vom-marlowe.livejournal.com]

Oh, X! I didn't even think of X. You're probably right.

[oyceter]

Nope! Amazingly, it is even more cracktastic than X! And AS!

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

#8 - Princess Tutu

[oyceter]

Yes!

[oyceter]

Yes for 1, 3, and 9 (I don't see the subtext either, but I was amused by IMDB having that in keywords).

Not quite to 6.

And 10 is even more cracktastic than X, if you can believe it!

[coffeeandink.livejournal.com]

Wait -- is #10 Yami no Matsuei? I don't remember any crushed heads.

[oyceter]

Even more cracktastic than that! I don't think many people on the flist have seen it though, and am pretty sure you haven't.

1. Sexual tension, cellular phone, famous opening theme. Veronica Mars?
2. Janitor, title spoken by character, sitcom
3. Steampunk, racism, resurrection
4. Female soldier, class conflict, cargo. Last Exile?
5. Child soldier, martial arts, bison. No idea….
6. Interracial relationship, double life, surveillance. Spooks?
7. Neo noir, homosexual demon, attempted child murder. First guess: Descendents of Darkness?
8. Knight, classical music, creation story. You know, if you squinted, Ouran would fit this…
9. Sibling incest subtext, memory loss, biracial child. Oh man…um, I’m gonna guess FMA, but you know, it would also fit Weiss, if I thought you watched that.
10. Double suicide, loneliness, religious symbolism, sliced in two, decapitation, strangulation, doll, crushed head, filicide, hanging, erection, face slap, blood splatter (I had to put them all in! Come on! How awesome is it that one show has all these keywords?!) Here’s another possible Descendents of Darkness one…but I think it has to be Angel Sanctuary, even though I’m not sure about the double suicide thing.

Okay, there are more than options in my brain for 7, 9, and 10. Bwahahaha.

[oyceter]

Yes to 6, try again for the others ;).

[mystickeeper.livejournal.com]

9 = Revolutionary Girl Utena? Although, I don't remember any biracial children. Still, when sibling incest is mentioned, Revolutionary Girl Utena is definitely the first thing that comes to mind, :D

[oyceter]

Amazingly no! Though I should have looked up Utena, I bet it would have awesome keywords.

[rilina.livejournal.com]

Random guesses:

1 - X-Files?
2 - Scrubs?
4 - Firefly?

[oyceter]

Hey, right on all three!

[rilina.livejournal.com]

Is 10 Evangelion? I haven't seen it, but it seems like a likely candidate.

[oyceter]

Muhahaha, yes, it is ^_^.

[rilina.livejournal.com]

I love how I figured that out via process of elimination--i.e., what anime has Oyce watched that hasn't already been guessed?

[sophia-helix.livejournal.com]

2 = Scrubs?

[oyceter]

Yes! The Janitor!

[shati.livejournal.com]

I didn't look at anyone else's guesses, so I may be redundant.

2. Scrubs.
3. I haven't actually seen FMA, but I'm guessing it anyway.
5. Avatar.
7. Angel. Though at first glance I thought it was anime.
9. Heroes.
10. I have no idea, but I'm wildly curious. Or -- X?

[oyceter]

I didn't look at anyone else's guesses, so I may be redundant.

That's perfectly ok; the fun's in the guessing!

Yes to all except 10! And it's even more cracktastic than X!

[rayechu.livejournal.com]

I would guess Cain Saga for number 10 but I don't think that has been animated.

[oyceter]

Alas, no, though I think it fits as well!

[kaizoku.livejournal.com]

I thought you might be interested to know that this is the first hit on a google search for steampunk + racism... (And I really need to watch Full-metal Alchemist one of these days.)

[oyceter]

Oh, weird! Thanks for the FYI.
