I need help with a gameshow/panel!

[....]

So there is this con that I will be appearing here in Cincinnati, Ohio (called Animatic Con; you guys may have seen them at glass city) and I entered two panels (My horrifying Japanese dubs panel was accepted!) and the other is Anime Jeopardy (a modified version of it!) I want to do like two rounds of it (winner gets bragging rights!) and I got 9 categories so far. I want a total of 15 categories for this game/panel (10 for each round, plus extra for tie-breakers)

Here are the categories:
- Who said it/Catchphrases
- Voiced by (year & anime)
- Mecha
- Magical Girls
- Name that 'mon (Digimon/pokemon)
- Villains
- Name the Genre
- Toei Animation
- Name the Series (opening/ending theme)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

if anyone can help me with these, that would be awesome! The con itself isnt untill April, and I will be working on it at ohayocon and getting feedback there as well

Maybe Anime Movies category, like Hayao Miyazaki? Hm. Hairstyles? I know there are some pretty memorable, crazy ones. Uh, weapons? Like different, well-known weapons used by popular anime characters.

That's all my brain can come up with right now lol

I don't know if this would work, but what about name that opening or ending theme song?
Or name that transformation sequence? Lol

that falls under the magical girl category. the opening/ending could fall under the name the genre category

thanks though!

Hm, maybe broaden your categories a bit more so you can make more of them? Like instead of lumping opening/ending themes, just make genre about actual anime genres and make Themes its own category.

[mimiruchan]

No worries! You have villains, what about sidekicks?
I can't think of anything else ^^
I kind of agree with Holocast...it will make it easier for your questions as well...and for those who want to participate.

Edit: what about a food category... Like what does this character eat most?....I'm thinking like menchi and excel saga lol

and I could make a 10-30 second clip for these themes with a question mark image in back! Good idea!

There you go!

Maybe you could do something with anime and live-action movies based on them? Not sure if there are enough to make a decent category though. Maybe something like: guess the quote: movie or anime?

I dont mean to bump this thread (since its like a month or two?) but I got some more 'category' ideas I'd like to run by.

- Sports
- Fantasy/Dark Fantasy
- Romantic/Romantic Comedy
- Comedy/Comedy Drama

It would be pretty obvious to have the same anime answer in multiple categories so I'm getting ideas from the different genres to use for these other categories..

Good idea. Just be sure to keep the right balance between too little and too much variety!

Just make everything super broad and obscure.

Have sound clips and try to get japanese sound bites of characters.

Whose power up is this?
What song is this from?
Name that opening theme?

But keep the theme mainly with well known series.

Who wore this hair style?
Name the anime this outfit is from?

I have it wrote down different animes that fall into each category

Thats what Im planning on doing. Im doing opening/ending themes (with a huge ? on a black background), where they have to guess the series its from (not the song itself)

I changed my "Name that Mon" to a strictly pokemon category (as I think not many people know digimon much anymore)

Voice by category - where I name various english dubbed character and the contestants have to answer who it is. Doing this in two different rounds, different VAs/Answers

Villains - I describe the villain of a show and they have to answer who the villain is

Sports/Magical Girl/Fantasy/Comedy/Slice of Life/Action/Mecha - describe each series, and they have to guess what the name is (each one their own category)

Name the Genre (for those not chosen) - I name the series that they are in, the contestants name the GENRE. (pretty much using those I dont put as a category)

Ive thought about putting manga down for a category, but with that being huge, it would make any sense.

I wont do Hentai/Porn/Yaoi/Yuri category, this is a family friendly game!

I could do Debut as a category, where I name a few animes where they have to say what year it came out (not necessarily english, can go with original release to)

what do you guys think?
