Considering that this movie is a must watch among Lupin movies, let alone anime movies in general, those out there who haven't seen it yet oughta be ashamed.

In short, if you like anime, watch this movie... no excuses!

Anyway, on with the trivia!

Let's see how well you know you're anime culture!

In the 1st season of Sailor Moon, most fans of the show know of Queen Beryl's "Generals":

Jadeite
Nephrite
Zoisite (the fan favorite)
and Kunzite

In the subbed version, however, the term used for them is "Shitennou".

The question is, WHERE does the phrase "Shitennou" come from, and WHAT does it refer to?

BONUS) As you can tell, the real source of this term refers to 4 "other generals". Name them!

IMPRESSIVE!

Well, I must say that was an excellent display on the cultural background that often influences anime and manga.

The thread is yours, Zaxafel!

Time to revive the thread...

Q: In Cromartie High School, two characters appear and even have a few lines before they are actually introduced. Which characters am I referring to, and in which episode was their early arrival?

Yep, Hokuto & his lackey tried to help Hayashida remember the song's name in episode 3 before the even arrived at school. Quite helpful of them, eh?

Your thread, Fall.

There is a Character Connection betwen these two animes:

The Crazy insane wacked out, --Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi.
and the more reserved and serious --Otogi Zoshi.

Who is the character and what does he/she do?
