O.o . . . Got mine the first try . . .

Okay, stumped it on my second try with Sophie Hatter from Howl's Moving Castle. It came somewhat close with Naausicaa from Valley of the Wind.

Yeah, there's an Android (and likely iPhone) app of it as well. Amaze your...self!

Okay. I've made it lose once. Out of ten times. It's pretty cool.

It didn't get Blackmail from VBN.

The first one I tried was fail. Hahah.

I tried to make it guess Animala from The Lost Skeleton of Cadavra.

Oh man, I love LSoC! It's so rare to come across someone who's seen it!

swankivy January 17 2012, 07:00:05 UTC

Animala is on my favorite fictional characters list, haha. (Formerly my "characters I would have sex with" list, but people kept misunderstanding me and not understanding it was joke.)

Seen the same group's other work?

I've seen everything else they've done except 'Trail of the Screaming Forehead". I really liked "Lost Skeleton Returns Again", and "Dark and Stormy Night", though that one can get a little tedious at times, IMO.

wow, that was pretty amazing on the first try. It looked like it was totally off the scent, then suddenly the "Is your character a dwarf?" question popped up out of nowhere. Impressive...

Quick question: Who was your character? But, yeah, something like that happens quite often. You think you got it beat, then it asks a question that makes you SuRe the computer developed telepathy. One time, I was thinking of Gamzee Makara from Homestuck (the guy in my current userpic). Nothing unusual, till the end, when Akinator asked "Does your character have unusually colored blood?". Since Gamzee has purple blood I was like "woah".

It was Tyrion Lannister! Now I know, he's not exactly obscure with the recent popularity of the GoT TV series, but still...all the questions to that point had been pretty vague. I also ran Snape, Mikoto Misaka, Rurouni Kenshin ("Does your character have a scar?"), Rick Castle, Shawn from Psych, Agent Booth from Bones, and Cersei Lannister. It got every single one. Thanks for posting about this site, I love it :)

I got one when it asked if an anime character had a scar, but mine was Chichiri from Fushigi Yuugi. It ended up getting that one, though. The blue hair was a giveaway.
