Summary: From the author
Review: A long time ago, there was a gathering of people who sat in plastic chairs, facing an empty, long table with four seats to be filled. The enigmatic host strutted back and forth in front of the table, eyeing the crowd before him. He shook his head. Desperate hands stretched to the ceiling, craving his attention, waiting to be chosen. The host leaned back, sighed, and picked four random victims, beckoning them to sit in the empty chairs. They did so willingly.The host grinned. They did not know what he knew. The next moments completely defied explanation. The four victims listened to the host speak but did not understand. There were bouts of awkward silence and confusion. The only thing clear was the roar of laughter if they should say the wrong thing. In the end, there was a victor, but not without slaughter and not without shame. And the host said to himself, "Man, I did not realize that my anime trivia was that hard..." And that's how the book got started. This anime trivia book started from a game show in anime convention called Fanimecon in San Jose and in the first round of questioning, contestants were able to only answer 5 out of the 20 questions correctly. That's when I realized that some of these questions were just a little... challenging. But I also tried to make these fun, if not, biting and edgy. The object is to have as much fun reading the book as I did writing about the hobby that I love. And if you don't enjoy it, at least you'll know Sailor Moon's bloodtype. <^.^>v

Summary: The Ultimate Answer To The Anime Questioner!
Review: For those of us who like details, this book certainly questioned most of them. A very humorous book with comments for even the wrong answers, and a great guide for whether or not you are just starting anime or have become very obsessed with it. A variety of topics include romance, math, sci-fi, merchandise, etc. I can't get enough of this book! It contains all the current anime and puts your brain to work, but if you don't feel like doing that, the answers are easily accessible. A well-worth buy.

Summary: Hours of Hysterical, Fangirl (or fanboy) fun for all!
Review: I was going to take this book to a party with my friends, but I missed the party because I was laughing so hard reading it! I was skeptical at first of the subtitle, "From Easy To Otaku Obscure," I thought, "Pshaw, what Sailormoon and Dragonball Z trivia probably." But no! It was a pleasant surprise to find references to lesser-known anime series' such as the Legend of Basara and Weiss Kruez, two of my personal favorites. I loved the Games section, Japanese anime-style RPG and fighting games are highly underappreciated in Western literature about contemporary Japan. When I met the author at a local bookstore, we had fantastic discussions about everything from the cultural and social implications in Final Fantasy to male and female sexuality in anime. It's refreshing to meet another anime otaku who has the brainpower left to discuss things intelligently. Everyone, including the smallest Pokemon fan to the otaku who's been watching anime since Astro Boy, should buy this book!

Review: If you have ever wanted to play a trivia game using your knowledge of anime, here's your chance. The questions cover a wide variety of subjects, and they are grouped into categories. This makes it easy for you to use the book. And there is snappy banter included with the answers! Most of the comments are quite funny, and some had me rolling on the floor gasping for breath. I can't wait til the next volume comes out!
