Anime Trivia [Please read 1st post before posting questions]

[CliffD]

That is exactly it. Your thread.

Unfortunately, I cannot. This question seemed just a LITTLE bit too familiar -- that's because I asked a similar one earlier (I dug after posting my answer).

This question comes from the the first Project A-ko.

In some ways, it's great to have a large industrial complex, dedicated to the production of large-scale weaponry, at your disposal. How else can Beiko Daitokuji (aka B-ko) be able to design and manufacture her giant mecha, literally overnight?

However, just because B-ko's a brilliant mecha designer, doesn't mean her designs are always successful. Considering all of her mecha are constructed to defeat Eiko Magami (aka A-ko) in a never-ending struggle to take Shiko Kotobuki (aka C-ko) for her own, you begin to wonder about B-ko's state of mind. (Some people even question B-ko's sanity, by the fact that she WANTS C-KO . . . but I digress)

Take, for example, the MAX 5000. This vehicle transforms into a powerful mecha, compleat w/ drill arms, heat rays, and holographic camouflage capable of displaying multiple copies of itself. During its initial (and, as it turns out, final) run against A-ko (right in front of Graviton High), the MAX 5000 is piloted by one of B-ko's cronies, Ume (early voice role for Megumi Hayashibara!). However, during the attack, Ume notes one VERY CRITICAL design flaw.

Question: What is the design flaw?

Although there's, AFAIK, nothing in the Rules at Page 1 of this thread about repeating a question (or putting a very similar question), it just doesn't feel right to accept the thread for answering a question I ASKED earlier (even from several months ago -- Ashyukun answered this one correctly back then).

So I suggest that Kasuga Ayumu take this thread back, to post another question. Apologies to 'Osaka' and everyone here, but I cannot accept the thread for this question.

[Kasuga Ayumu]

How can you still remember that, that was more than a year ago?

But ok, here's another question: In the Ghibli movie "Kiki's Delivery Service" what's the name of Kiki's new hometown. (new meaning "not the one she left in the beginning")

[RanChan13]

I don't believe they ever named the city, simply just called it the City by the Sea.

[Kasuga Ayumu]

No, the town had a name.

[CliffD]

Koriko.

Although, to be honest, I'm not 100% certain the name of the city's even mentioned in the motion picture (100% certain it's not named in the Disney dub, 90% certain it's not named in the original Japanese). The name of the city IS mentioned in the original book by Eiko Kadono, and I remember the name coming up in articles of the movie.

[Kasuga Ayumu]

That's 100% correct. And I did my research: You didn't ask this question yet ans neigther did anybody else. So this time it's really your thread.

This question comes from Ai Yori Aoshi.

At the end of a shopping expedition (one where they got items for several of the OTHER residents), Aoi and Kaoru find themselves at a place they haven't been in several months -- Kaoru's old apartment. Still vacated, the two go inside to reminisce, to reflect, to practice osculation , . . .

-- Until a realtor comes in with another young couple, to show them the apartment. At which point, Aoi and Kaoru have to practice the art of stealth -- by hiding a closet and hoping that no one opens the door on them!! After the realtor and potential customers have left, the Cute Couple make their exit (undiscovered! ), filled with a few laughs and warm feelings. Until they arrive back at Casa Sakuraba, when they discover that, in the hustle and bustle, they accidentally left one of the items they picked up in their shopping trip.

THE QUESTION: What item did they accidentally leave behind, and (if applicable) who requested this particular item?

Sorry I'm a bit late . . . Time to put up another question.

Q2:
[Tomo] DAA-DA-DA-DAAAA!! Azumanga Daioh Question!! [/Tomo] Although not necessarily a spoiler, I'm putting the question under SPOILER-GARD to be on the safe side (the answer isn't necessarily a spoiler).

The final scene of the entire series takes place in front of the University Admission lists -- where Yomi goes (with her Entry Number) to find out if she has been accepted into her last college of choice. As Yomi has plans to go to the amusement park w/ Chiyo-chan, Miss Sakaki, Kagura, 'Osaka', and Tomo, they all decide to meet Yomi here (and, in Tomo's case, to torture Yomi one last time for NOT YET getting into college; Don't Worry, Yomi gets even ).

THE QUESTION: What was Yomi's Entry Number?

[Kasuga Ayumu]

Samurai. 3661.
IIRC.

Yup!! As for the Ai Yori Aoshi question, . . . it was a video game, and Tina was not happy (she asked Aoi and Kaoru to get it for her).

Your thread!!
