ANIME MOVIE QUIZ
PLEASE DO NOT POST YOUR ANSWERS, ANY MOVIE OR ACTOR NAMES OR EVEN A HINT IN A COMMENT, OR YOU WILL RUIN THE QUIZ FOR EVERYONE ELSE. POST THEM IN A PRIVATE NOTE TO ME, BUZZ OF THE ORIENT, AND I WILL REPLY WITH YOUR SCORE AND THE CORRECT ANSWERS.
Don't forget that I am on the other side of the world (of most of you) and I could be asleep when you send your answers, so be patient - I will get to your PN as soon as I can.
PLEASE, PLEASE, READ WHAT IS BELOW FIRST AND FOLLOW THE RULES IN ORDER TO GET FULL MARKS FOR YOUR ANSWERS. IT IS ALWAYS A LITTLE DIFFERENT FROM THE LAST QUIZ.
Still continuing with a single genre, so besides the two image clues, the third clue is and it is REQUIRED that the movie MUST be a movie on the first page of the Rotten Tomatoes list that is linked following this paragraph. I have seen only one of the movies on this quiz, so, as always, some of the movies can be identified from just the images that often just spell out the title, but some may require you to either have watched the movies or be familiar with them or will require you to do a little research into them because the clues might represent an item, fact, scenario or aspect that will require you to have seen the movie or know the story or what the film is about. I don't think any of them are actual screen shots from the movies. I try to use clues that do not make it easy to do a web search, and since this is a test of your knowledge of movies, web searching using web programs that identify movies from the clues is cheating.
100 Best Anime Moves of All Time, Ranked by Tomatometer LINK -> https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/guide/best-anime-movies/
IMPORTANT: That list actually has 140 movies on it, so the movies on the quiz are from the FIRST PAGE ONLY, i.e, only the movies from 1 to 100.
Note that I never use the same movie more than once in the same quiz, and usually the order of the clues is important
THE RULES
I am being fairly lenient in my scoring, and not overly concerned about spelling mistakes, punctuation, capitalizing or leaving out or adding an extraneous "A" or "The" or obvious typos, but especially if you guess the answer you should check the movie name on the linked list or web to make sure it is the full and correct name. For example, and this will be important for all my quizzes, you will lose a half mark if you make the title one word if it is two, or two words when it is only one because that means to me that you are not sure of the title. Just identifying the images does not necessarily mean that you know the name of the movie . That is why it is important for you to check your answers with the lists to make sure they are correct. As well, if you can convince me that my clues are equally as relevant for or better indicative of a movie other than the one I've chosen, provided it is one of the first 100 movies on the Rotten Tomatoes list linked above, I will accept that alternative as a good answer. In a last quiz I did accept alternatives for two of the questions. Please also send only one answer for each question - I cannot score it if you provide more than one movie per question.
A situation came up on a previous quiz where the movie list link I used came up with a different name than the one the participant opened although it was the same link, so if that happens, please tell me. Be careful to use ONLY the list linked above, because there are other similar lists that will not have the same movies.
SPECIAL HINT FOR THOSE WHO BOTHER TO READ WHAT'S ABOVE
Although some of the movies can be identified by just one of the clues, some of the clues can apply to the wrong movie, so it is IMPORTANT to take BOTH clues into consideration.
Please number your answers the same as the questions.

This was the toughest quiz for me to assemble because I rarely watch an anime movie, and in fact have seen only one of the movies on the quiz. Although some movies will be easily identified by just naming the clues, others will take a little more research. Note that the movies were chosen from only the first page, or first 100 of a list that actually has 140 movies. So because, like me, you may not have seen many of these movies this one just might be a little more challenging than most, but it can be answered with only the information that you are given access to, and worth giving it a try. You will have a week to get your answers to me, as this quiz will be closed on Friday October 20th at about 10 p.m. New York time. And always remember....

Wow-- you assembled an excellent selection of pictures!
Thanks for helping to keep the quiz on the Front (Home) Page. Actually, out of list of 100 I choose movies not because they may be the best or most popular, but because the information provided in the linked list makes it possible to post relevant clues.
Submitted.
I don't watch anime and haven't seen any of these, but the clues were great for this one. Thanks, Buzz.
Received and scored. Thank you. Yes, I guess the clues are pretty good.
Ohhhh... Anime should be interesting. Good choice, will have us using the ol noggin.
I made the choice due to the request a long time ago by someone - let's see if he plays.
see what I can do
You'll do okay.
Will try, just looking through I realize that I have seen far fewer anime movies than you.
LOL. Doesn't matter, you'll still do okay on this quiz.
I'll give it a whirl, but don't expect much from me on this one, Buzz!
You'll be surprised.
Actually, I am surprised. Very good clues! Only a few more to go!
Oh, and a Sunday bummmmmmp!
Told yah!!!
And thannnnnnnnnks as well.
Submitted
Received and scored. Thank you.
Sunday morning bump for the best little quiz in the west...
Both bump and compliment much appreciated.
Figured half of them out
Still lots of time to figure out the other half.
Monday morning bumpski to stay on the front page
Wish it was enough to do so, but unfortunately it wasn't.
I know, right?
Tuesday morning bump, back on the front page you....
Oh, and Happy Birthday (DELETED) wherever you may be...
(Okay, okay, I know, even I've done it - Buzz)
It is now............another bump...........and a boatload of up votes.
Yep, it's there now, thanks.
I believe I got 'em, figured, will submit in the morning. (This way it will be two bumps).
LOL. Okay, Anxiously waiting. At this point ONLY TWO HAVE SUBMITTED ANSWERS.
Just submitted and the usual bump even though I'm surprised we're still on the front page with all that is happening.
Thanks, and yep it's a struggle these days.
Here is number 3
Received and scored. Thank you.
Wednesday morning bump to remain on the front page
Thanks for the help. At this point 6 have participated with a couple days still left.
Thursday morning bump, back on the Front Page you!!!!
We're okay now thanks to you and others.
We need another bump!
I know, crazy world. With so much going on right now it's rather difficult to keep this on the Front Page.
According to the last note above from Buzz, only 6 people have submitted. I don't watch a lot of Anime but I found this quiz to be very easy to complete. For those still on the fence, I am willing to rent my Secret Decoder Ring that helped me answer the quiz...
I've never watched any Anime, so this was all new to me. I did pretty well, thanks to Buzz's helpful clues.
It was different
For sure!
Yes, I realize that there is a lot of important current news so I'm not surprised it's a struggle to stay on the Front (Home) Page. The fact that is was an anime quiz did scare participants (even I almost never watch anime movies) so I made sure you didn't have to see the movies to answer the questions. However, in order to help answer one of the questions, being familiar with a totally different movie helped answer that question.
My reply number 15.1.4 to Snuffy becomes a reply to you as well.
After all, charger 383, variety is the spice of life.
I've covered so many different genres, actors, etc. already I try to find something different.
Thank you, sir!
Thanks for giving it to us.
And in... the clues were very good. The only ones you didn't have on your list, are the ones that I have actually seen. Damn!
You still did okay.
NOTICE TO ANY INTENDED PARTICIPANTS
Eight members have participated so far. It is a little less that 23 hours from now that the quiz will be closed. If anyone still intends to submit answers, don't wait till the last minute. I am pointing this out especially to the one person I notified of the quiz who has not participated for years and had indicated his interest was in anime films.
If anyone I notified about this quiz is concerned because they don't watch anime films, the replies above have indicated that having seen the films on the quiz turned out to be entirely unnecessary, which is what I both intended and announced.
Evening...bumps away...
Wasn't it still afternoon in Australia an hour ago? Anyway, thanks for the bump. It kind of sounds like "bombs away" but then movies that are bombs should be away, far away.
Errr no an hour ago it was 5.30pm it's now 6.30pm..so either it is late arvo or early evening..
It was a sunny day today, went for a nice walk and bought some bagels. Going to have bagels with a smear (i.e. cream cheese) and lox (sliced smoked salmon) topping for dinner. It's almost 6 p.m. here and the sun's still shining.
And a Friday Morning Bump to stay on the Front Page. Get your answers in today everybody.. it's an easy quiz, don't be scared away by the genre.
With only a few hours to go I doubt there will be any more, but thanks for keeping us up front anyway.
I'm proof of that!
Yep, you are.
Only a few more hours until this delightful quiz closes, so I'm giving it another bump!
A couple I thought would play didn't, so although there's still a few hours, I think we're only going to have 8. Maybe the next quiz - Disney Movies - will draw more. Thanks for your consistent help to keep us visible.
Disney movies, looking forward to it. My 2 yo granddaughter and her mother live with me so I see a lot of those movies... hehe
Good luck with it.
Okay, we're done with this one. Again all players reached the winners' circle. Dig and Snuffy share the gold with scores of 20, while bccrane, Jasper2529 and Perrie tie for silver with scores of 19, and achieving brass with scores of 18 1/2 are charger 383, Vic Eldred, and Kathleen. Those who feared anime realized that their fear of this quiz was unfounded. The next quiz which will be posted in a couple of hours will be Disney movies, in order to celebrate Disney's Centennial. Unless you're still awake when I post it you will wake up with a PN notification with links not only to this winners' announcement comment but also a link for the new quiz - please vote it up and comment to make sure everyone can see it because these days the news is really important and it floods the Front (Home) Page.
