Guess the Anime

The latest and greatest of Japanese Animation. Found something new, or perhaps old and arcane... if it has to do with anime, it goes right here.

That's probably one of the most awesome pictures I've ever seen on the Intarweb. I demand to know where it came from.
Someone, quick, guess the shit out of that picture! There will be a prize!

WAKA WAKA WAKA!

Well, since no one got it, here's the big reveal:
It was...Oruchuban Ebichu!
Oruchuban Ebichu (or Ebichu Minds the House ( おるちゅばんエビちゅ?) is an anime produced by Gainax director anime Makoto Moriwaki and is based on the manga by Risa Ito that was published by Futabasha Publishers. It first aired as six eight-minute episodes in 1999 as one third of the show Modern Love's Silliness.

Most episodes follow Ebichu, a talking hamster devoted to her oft-indifferent owner, who is only identified as OL ("Office Lady"), a single 28-year-old (this is her age in the original manga series while she is 25-year-old in the anime series) who doles out cynical commentary and the occasional beating on the rodent. Ebichu tends to take this in stride with endless praise and compliments. Such abuse is usually caused by Ebichu's almost disturbing lack of tact or propriety, which often embarrasses her master in front of other people.

Ebichu often attempts to correct OL's bad decisions, such as her berating of OL's obnoxious and untrustworthy boyfriend Ebichu nicknamed Kaishounachi (worthless man).

Ebichu is sometimes joked by fans to be the complete polar opposite of Hamtaro, a popular children's anime featuring a hamster in more wholesome adventures.
Take that wikipedia!

And the (ridiculously easy) next pic is:

'twoud be Puni Puni Poemy, a two OVA spinoff of Excel Saga by the same crazy director (who, yes, actually voices himself in the anime http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclo ... php?id=512). Also, please don't watch a dub of this one, it just doesn't work.

KADOSH!

Here's a tip: It's probably one of the worst series ever conceived. Repetitive, predictable, boring, stupid, badly animated and just plain lame.


....I liked it.

PS: Dubs invariably suck. It's like the rule of thumb of audiovisual entertainment.

Should be pretty easy if you're familiar with the series.

FALOPIA!

Mmmm....I have no idea.



Is it Love-Hina*.........eth? If it's not......does it suck as much as Hina, or is it even worse?




*= Somehow the colors remind me that series.

Nope, not even close. It's nothing like Love Hina, and they don't look anything alike, IMO. It's about a million times better than Love Hina too. Not that I've ever actually watched Love Hina, cuz I don't watch that kind of crap. Here's a hint, there's a freaking Haro in the picture. I went back and looked, and I had already posted a pic from this series before, sorry. The picture link was broken though, so lets see if anyone can figure it out without cheating.

I don't know, it looked somewhat similar to me.

Good to know you still haven't fallen into the dark side of anime, though.

Yeah, I can't stand romantic anime, or any of that "cutsie girl" shit that's supposed to be funny.

Anyway, if you know what a "Haro" is, that should be a big hint. ;)

Oh, and this anime was made about 4 years before Love Hina.

No, it's not Turn A. Since you guessed that it's Gundam, I'll give another hint. It's part of the original UC timeline.

Hm, no clue, but from the looks of it, I'd remember that if I had seen whatever OVA it's from.

That’s from Jyu-Oh-Sei: Planet of the Beast King... I think. That’s one of the worst animes I’ve seen. The ending is so stupid that it’s hilarious :D
