Grumble Grumble Grumble
As a part of last Decembers Clan Challenge, I prepared an Anime Trivia Quiz to be the tie breaker for the best two out of three challenges. The Anime Trivia Quiz was originally designed to STRESS OUT a select group of Clan members in a 24 hour take home quiz. I carefully selected my questions, removed the most obvious and most obscure questions, checked the facts and spelling. And after all that work, it turns out the Trivia Quiz wasn't needed... (grumble grumble grumble...)
Well, since the Quiz was already made, Dragon Ball has graciously decided to open it up to all Anime Online members as a contest. At the end of the month, scores will be tallied, and the AO member with the highest score in the shortest time will be awarded video downloads up to $20 in value at the
ADV Universe Digital Store.
Personally, I think this Quiz is very easy, but then again, I've seen all the features referenced here. Now lets see how long it takes to match the wits of the Grouchy Old Anime Otaku...
GENERAL RULES- Contest closes March 31st.
- Only ONE ENTRY (no edits allowed) per member. Once you have all your answers, create a thread in the private forum at Contest Entries Forum (with the title of 'Anime Trivia Quiz')
- Score is based on the total number of correct answers posted.
- There are 30 Anime Trivia questions and 3 Bonus questions.
- If the character / object / thing / appears in more then one series, the earliest published series would be the correct answer. Questions with 2 and 3 part answers must be correct on all parts to count.
- In the event there are duplicate high scores, the person who posts their answers first wins.

Unique Named Mecha & Vehicles.
Many Anime series have a 'named' Mecha or Vehicle that is 'unique' with only one occurence in a series. (Note that Ships or huge vehicles are not included in this category...) Given the name, identify it's class (Car, Mecha, etc), its primary operator and the series it appears in.
- Mach 5 (car) : Speed Racer, Series: Speed Racer
- Ryo-Oki : (Mecha) : Sasami, Series: Shin Tenchi (Tenchi in Tokyo)
This was the only real trick question. The catagory specifically ruled out space ships, but Ryo-Oki did have a Mecha form that was only used in 'Tenchi in Tokyo'
- Jango : (Mecha) : Jo, Series: Burst Angel
- Bonaparte : (Tank) : Leona Ozaki, Series: Dominion Tank Police

BONUS Question 1: Of the above magical phrases, and the characters that chant them, which one does not match the rest of the Group?
Now when entering this question for this Post, I realized there are actually two girls who don't match, but for different reasons. They are...
1. All the Magical chants are Magical Girl Power ups/Transformations with the exception of Lina Inverse's Black Magic Attack Spell..
2. All the girls are girls who use magic, with the exception of 'Cutey Honey' who is actually a transforming Battle Android!!!
