Guppy Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 It's like the generic credit that Sunrise use I think. Like 'Alan Smythee' is in Hollywood movies. Although the 'Alan Smythee' credit is used for people who don't want their names on credits of really bad movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mercurial Morpheus Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Close enough. It represents the entire staff at Sunrise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppy Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 heh, close enough = good enough, that's my motto! Anyways, I'm away from the computer all weekend so here's an easy one that doesn't need me to check it. What is the Leek alien from Gantz's favourite saying?

areaseven Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Time to shift gears on this thread. As you know, trivia questions can be posted in the form of Q&A, multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, or Jeopardy!-style (questions in the form of answers, wherein the answer has to be a question). But what do you guys think of adapting the trivia format of the obscure Japanese game show Hey! Spring of Trivia (which is shown on late nights on SpikeTV)?

areaseven Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 (edited) Would be helpful if you explained what that trivia format was. Thought you'd ask. I'll try as much as to explain it, even though the concept itself still doesn't make sense. In Hey! Spring of Trivia, a group of celebrities are given a piece of what seems to be useless trivia. On each table is what I call a WTF button. Each celeb taps the WTF button to give that trivia "Hey!" points. After the trivia is posted, the show goes deeper into explaining the facts. The trivia with the most "Hey!" points wins the Golden Brain award. Examples of trivia: 1. Firefighters in Japan use the stairs, not the fire poles. - One fire department official explains that since the building has over 10 firefighters and only one pole, it's faster to sortie through the stairs. 2. In Taiwan, the crosswalk signs "run." - Instead of a flashing "DON'T WALK" sign, a sprite animation of a pedestrian running is used, while a clock ticks within 60 seconds. Ironically, the sign is not effective, as pedestrians still jaywalk, anyway. 3. The Japanese railroad tracks are covered in lion feces. - Yes, it sounds weird, but it's what the JR transit does to ward off deer. Since then, there have been less deer fatalities on railroad tracks. So if you go to Japan and decide to take the train, don't be surprised if you smell a lot of sh*t during the trip. Yeah, I know it doesn't make sense, but if we could successfully adapt the concept in anime trivia form, maybe it'll work. A side note: One episode proved that the katana is powerful enough to resist the force of an industrial water cutter.
