[meme] Stolen from sanestlunatic and harbek

Pick 25 movies/comic books/video games/literary works/TV shows and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.

(Hint: Anime/manga comprise nearly half of the list. Additionally, some of these have been slightly reworded, so cheating might not help you anyway.)

15, That HAS to be Pokemon.
17. And that sounds like the Sims.
22. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Although I only know that from almost picking it myself. XD

I like how all the ones I got was video games.

[ryuu_no_hime]

Correct, correct, and correct again!

You managed to get almost all of my video games, in fact.

[harbek]

Apparently that's my niche.

2 reminds me of Loom, but I'm pretty sure it's not. XD 9 could be Portal, but I don't think it has techno music.

ETA: Dear LJ. I had not finished that comment. Don't randomly post it.

I just realised, 13 HAS to be MythBusters. This is why I should properly read through these things. I have the flu, forgive me, my head is fuzzy.

[ryuu_no_hime]

2 is not Loom and 9 is not Portal, but 13 is in fact Mythbusters! (And the only non-anime TV show to make the list!)

3. Magical girls and mecha? Gotta be Magic Knights Rayearth.
5. Has to be Hellsing.
6. Furuba.
10. Utena
13. Mythbusters
16. Weiss Kruez

[ryuu_no_hime]

All of those are correct! I admit, you were not one of the two people on my f-list that I would have expected to guess Weiss Kreuz.

[calculusletters]

While I still haven't gotten around to watching it, I'm familiar with it. ...I do need to get around to that.

Soooo much crack. And Glühen (the sequel) is even worse.

I question why I even like this series, given the fact that it's poorly written, poorly animated, and the lead character is basically a self-insert Gary Stu (well, the lead voice actor did write it for himself and his friends to star in...).

I think viridian5 explains it best when she says "Why do I enjoy Weiß Kreuz? Because I couldn’t have made this stuff up." It's that cracktacular.

P.S. If you have time to read a 250+ (ongoing) chapter fanfic, she's got an AU Glühen (and beyond) fic that makes so much more sense on her journal.

Fft. People already guessed Utena and the Sims.

1 - ...I want to say Trigun, but I don't think it works.
2 - Wanted
7 - ...YOU WERE READING THIS WHEN YOU CAME TO VISIT. ...the Vorkosikan Saga?10 - Totally could have pegged this as Utena
9 - Rez
23 - Is this Read Or Die?

[ryuu_no_hime]

1 - Nope.
2 - Yup!
7 - Yes. If you want to read it as well I've lent the first several books to L.
9 - Yup
23 - Right again.

[viridian5]

Is #23 Read or Die?

#25 sounds like a Garth Nix series to me.

I didn't see draegonhawke's comment before posting. *g*

[ryuu_no_hime]

23 - Yes.
25 - Yes, but which series?

[viridian5]

The Abhorsen trilogy.

[viridian5]

Is #20 Howl's Moving Castle?
