It was brought to my attention that the quiz show Jeopardy featured an anime column this past Wednesday, June 18th. It’s in the Double Jeopardy round, fifth column over. It figures that the one day I don’t watch the show, something like this happens.
I’m sure the otakusphere would have swept this easy category in epic fashion, only to be utterly owned in everything else. If you’re too lazy to click the link, I’ll copypasta the questions after the jump.
$400 question:
This anime show didn’t start on TV; its characters were first part of Nintendo’s “Pocket Monsters”.
$800 question:
This classic 5-letter anime film isn’t named for director Kurosawa but rather a boy who destroys Tokyo.
$1200 question:
In this anime TV series, Bumblebee turned into a VW Bug; in the 2007 live-action movie, he got upgraded to a Camaro.
$1600 question:
This “lunar” Naoko Takeuchi creation is an example of a “magical girl” given powers to save the world.
$2000 question:
One of the highest-grossing films in Japanese history is the anime film about this title 14th c. princess.

I’d like to make that a true Daily Double.
That was easy…. lol.
“That was easy…. lol.”
I agree. Which makes me sad.
I feel like I’ve been learning all the wrong things now.
Save me a spot on this show - I could really use the money.
I think I might be able to answer a question or two in categories related to world history (Western art/literature included), current events and business/economics. But ask me one question about the latest Hollywood gossip and it’s bye-bye in under two seconds flat.
