Nobody Calls It That...
Technically, you could just call this anime 'Fish Cake'. At least, that's where the name of this anime comes from. I thought this anime was about ninjas?
What is Naruto?
The main character in 'Inuyasha' isn't much of a 'creature'. But he does share a transformation form with this loveable animal.
What is a dog?
This video games imprisons kids within a school and forces them to kill without getting caught! At least they have a lovable bear mascot to keep them company.
What is Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc?
The anime we're looking for is one that we watched on March 11th, 2025. It feels so recent...somehow
What is Mashle?
This white haired blue eyed babe has the power of purple to kill their enemies.
Who is Satoru Gojo?
For having such a long title, this anime can be summarized into a one worded Japanese title. But is that so wrong?
What is Danmachi?
It might not be completely obvious, but Cell from 'Dragon Ball' is based off an animal! A pretty loud and annoying little creature, Cell is based off this insect.
What is a cicada?
This game follows a main character struggling with the loss of their memories and identity. It has a cool sci-fi setting, and which the anime also includes. Though, the anime follows a character affected by a drive-by shooting.
What is Cyberpunk 2077?
This anime left not one dry eye the day we watched it. We watched it right before Winter Break, pretty timely too, seeing as the anime was set in the Winter as well. It was peak from beginning to end, and reminds me a bit of the Three Stooges...
What is Tokyo Godfathers?
This character's whole appearance fits our category name. Throughout their appearance in the anime, their childish, happy-go-lucky, and clueless. Honestly, you'll know their name if you know Japanese.
(Give the anime as well)
Who is Shiro?
What is Deadman Wonderland?
This anime's English name directly translates to 'Sorcery Line'. This anime does deal with sorcery...and a lot of eating of unconventional objects.
What is Jujutsu Kaisen?
In the anime 'Terraformers' these terrifying, and dangerous creatures have a hatred for human beings. Thankfully the feeling is mutual, as these creatures are based off of this insect.
What is a cockroach?
This game is actually based in Japan and Korea! The anime is unexpected, considering the game doesn't have a specific plot. The anime tries to make it its own by having the main character protect the 'World Tree'.
What is MapleStory?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
We watched this anime last semester, and it gave us a bit of alliteration with our weekly theming! The main plot of the anime mixes two unique concepts into one! It's like sailing the Milky Way!
What is Bodacious Space Pirates?
Technically...this character doesn't fully fit this category. Their hair is a half and half (just like their powers). You can blame their father for the non-white part of their hair.
Who is Shoto Todoroki?
"My Favorite Idol's Children" looks like a simple, idol, anime at first glance, but turns pretty dark pretty quick. Who would've thought an anime about an idol would handle reincarnation?
What is Oshi no Ko?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
Nago of 'Princess Mononoke', wasn't always so scary looking. Despite his arachnid appearance, Nago was a God, a God in the form of this animal.
What is a boar?
You might not have expected it, but this game got an anime! Only 10 episodes, and a strange artistic departure from the original material, this game features a weird blue guy who just wants to play tag!
What is Ao Oni?
This anime started off pretty good...until it got weird! This anime is notorious for depicting their most oldest and ancient characters as tiny children. And no, Lex is not into feet.
What is KamiKatsu: Working for God in a Godless World?
This character is one of the talented assassins within their family. They have a younger sister as well, with the power to grant wishes, at a cost (well she doesn't grant power, but the entity that possesses her does).
Who is Killua Zoldyck?
This anime has a Japanese word in it that translates to 'lily'. Despite the work choice within the title, the characters within this anime are pretty much the opposite. Does this count as a sports anime?
What is 'Yuri on Ice'?
If you've seen 'Blood-C', then you know how terrifying they are. Their new grotesque appearance and appetite for human flesh is in complete contrast to its animal predecessor. The only thing the creature shares with this animal, is its name.
What is a rabbit/bunny?
This game-eventually-adapted-anime started as a visual novel. That one game ended up producing two anime, one OVA and four films. They really hit the holy grail!
What is Fate Stay Night?
The main character wants so badly to fit in with her peers that she's willing to fake a relationship with a boy in her class...except he gets a little too into it. It was so bad we had to shut it off halfway through.
What is Wolf Girl and Black Prince?
This character, although counted as the main character, doesn't appear until close to the anime's ending. They are intelligent, and the successor to the ACTUAL main character (whose hair in the opposite as his). You don't gotta look too far for this answer.
Who is Near?
