it's a GAME! let's PLAY! like....like CHILDREN!
I feel kinda bad for friending all those people at the same time that I've been using my LJ less and less. Oh well, I'm still posting once a week? Or so? I haven't checked. THIS IS SO WEIRD I used to post 3 times every 2 days on average or something.

5 :: Sporadically employed veteran with unhealthy eating habits makes his way in post-war Bakumatsu-era Japan. With aliens. Gintama, guessed by Cappy!
6 :: A kid tries his hand at God Mode Sue-ing and instead gets an un-housetrained dinosaur that hates rats. Digimon Tamers, guessed by too lazy to sign in AF!

10 :: An unnamed albino with Pointy Ears, Facial Markings and a Situational Sword dredges up the guilty pasts of an inn, a ship, a mask, a stick, and a train. His Literal Split Personality then uses this to kill Japanese Cthulu. Mononoke, guessed by brb_inventing!
11 :: Average family restaurant with dysfunctional staff somehow still has customers. Working!! guessed by brb_inventing!
12 :: A traveler helps people cope with invisible magic bugs. Mushishi, guessed by Cappy!

15 :: A cross dressing man tries to save a group of geeky girls' apartment building. Kuragehime, guessed by pinstripesuit!
16 :: A fourteen-year-old who looks like an adult plays games with gangsters on his days off. He wins. They're scarred for life. Akagi, guessed by pinstripesuit!
17 :: Hapless salaryman unwittingly signs on with a company run by five Ax Crazy women. Their job: blowing up cats. Geobreeders, guessed by alienfirst!
18 :: Insane homeless woman rescues drowning man, decides that henceforth, he will be her lover. Arakawa Under the Bridge, guessed by too lazy to sign in AF!

20 :: A bunch of nerds sit around in a room writing pornography and talking about formulaic harem anime. Genshiken, guessed by pinstripesuit!
I'll put up correct guesses and their guessees as them come! Some of these are horribly easy, and others are kind of randomly out there, but they are definitely all anime that I have really enjoyed.
EDIT:: HOLY SHIT PEOPLE AHAHAHAHAHA
I doubt anyone will get #17, but I'll leave it up for another little while before revealing...
