Test your knowledge
 

I stumbled into a fairly menacing pair of tests the other day and I thought it'd be worth sharing. I'd like to issue you all a formal challenge as fans to test the expanses of your anime knowledge with this little obstacle course:

and if that proves too easy and if you feel up to it, there's then this second test that's something of a monster you can try to take on:

So, ask yourself: Do you have what it takes? Are you geek enough?

wow i barley pulled off 80/101 on that first one

Re: Test your knowledge
 

Heh I got 66/101. I need to watch more anime...

Re: Test your knowledge
 

Only 37/101, though I could've gotten 2 or 3 more if spelling wasn't so picky.

Re: Test your knowledge
 

I know what you mean, bull. Rosario + Vampire botched up my score with the cross.

29/101
T~T I feel a bit of unrepresented failure right now. My predetermined skills as an anime fan have been drastically overestimated... wtf man, wtf?

Re: Test your knowledge
 

65/101 - I knew more than I thought! :D

Re: Test your knowledge
 

73/101

Sad thing is, it was mostly the newer animes I kept getting wrong. XD

Re: Test your knowledge
 

No shame in that. 3 months and 12 episodes and most modern series are gone and done with until their DVD release, and with a good dozen or more titles airing each season. Given the time it takes for most to hit American or European shores, it's not hard to miss out on most of the most recent things. I admit I hadn't seen most of the early 2000s titles and could only recognize them by theme song, characters, and art style.

81/101
Stupid old stuff I don't know. If it was 2000 and later I'd probably have 90%+... does that mean I'm picky?

Holy mother of god that second one is hard.
41/100

Re: Test your knowledge
 

76/101 with video
33/100 audio only

Second one had way too much old school anime!

Re: Test your knowledge
 

Agreed. I can't stand older art so I auto-failed that one #biri

Re: Test your knowledge
 

You think so? 27 pre-2000s might be a bit much for some people now'days, but there were only maybe 4 or 5 pre-1990s titles. Personally, I think the time limit was a bit harsh, there's barely time to listen to it twice, and even then a lot of the clips are really fast and in strange parts of the middle of songs. Actually... somehow the titles that gave me the most trouble were all between 2003 and 2005.

Re: Test your knowledge
 

on the first one i got 70/101
the secound 21/100

should of gotten more but dang spelling

Re: Test your knowledge
 

I got 79/101 in the first one
And 30/100 on the second..... Seriously I would have had more on both if the spelling wasn't so darn picky

Re: Test your knowledge
 

ow my brain hurts

Re: Test your knowledge
 

man i missed more of the newer anime's than i missed the older ones :(

Re: Test your knowledge
 

My second test score: 35/100. I think the one I'm impressed of knowing on that was Loveless. But I swear, I had a minute or two of just staring at my screen and going, "what the heck??"
