TVtropes has ruined my life
Ok, I've confined myself in my room until Monday. Unless I'll be daring enough to buy a pizza. Anyhow, trying to keep myself entertained I snagged this from mirus_machina.
Pick 20 movies/tv shows/cartoons/video games/literary works/animanga and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
1. A traumatized English teacher tries to be a good person. Everyone ignores him - with the exception of his student, God, who mocks him and then ignores him.
2. Alternatively, a mass murder claims to have reformed, but occasionally relapses. Also, all your favorite characters die. (Angel, belladonna24)
3. A hospital show in which no patients are ever seen. There's no time - the doctors and management are too busy with funny and surreal hijinks. (Green Wing, misumaru)
4. Bisexual, sociopathic veterinarian/assassin with a floral theme makes a bet with a fashion-challenged uke, wins, and kills the uke's sister. It takes place to an 80's soundtrack. (Tokyo Babylon, misumaru)
5. Japanese teenagers and their homeless friend fight monsters. There is a lot more talking than you'd expect. (Bakemonogatari, mierin_sama
6. Police work in East London. Where the cops die a lot. (The Bill, madfrog)
7. An iconoclastic woman works in an industry she hates so she can preach about it. Her father is a murderer, her best friend at work is an alcoholic and her nephew is friendly with a minion of the Big Bad. (Ugly Betty, belladonna24)
8. Bullying sends victim to another dimension to become the most powerful king of all worlds. There are also demons who may or may not be gay. (Kyou Kara Maoh, cairnsy)
9. Man arrives home very late after commute from hell and murders unwanted houseguests. And half the staff. (Odyssey, cairnsy)
10. The man in the grey flannel suit commits identity theft, votes for Nixon, and provides an object lesson in why the women's movement was a Good Thing.
11. In a world with an alternate history, a group of people who by all means should be fighting for justice instead take on odd jobs to pay their rent. (Gintama, nakamatachi)
12. The villain scores a major victory by letting the hero win a big cup. (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, cairnsy)
13. Skill at sport bestows ability to defy physics and commit genocide against the dinosaurs. (Prince of Tennis, nakamatachi)
14. An immature slacker convinces the police that he has ESP. He and his reluctant best friend solve murders. (Psych, Nakamatachi)
15. Flamboyant gourmand gains powerful friends and proves himself useless.
16. Old man moves to England and leeches off young women while he's there. Eventually, their friends hunt him down and kill him with knives. (Dracula, belladonna24)
17. A teacher copes with his dissatisfaction with society by encouraging people to kill themselves. Hilarity Ensues. (Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei, nakamatachi)
18. Pop band and grandfather spend time in a train and a room, and a car and a room, and a room and a room. They all then get chased by the police and perform a concert.
19. Even vaster armies fight it out for centuries over three pieces of jewelry. (The Silmarillion, marienn_k)
20. Children's card games are Serious Business. (Yu-Gi-Oh, misumaru)
Gintama: Shinyaku Benizakura-Hen comes out today and xxxHolic: RO came out yesterday. April is such a nice month. Yeah... I don't expect to find subbed versions until May.
