Fun Quiz Time for Fun

OK, enough sad stuff -- time to pep this place up again!

I've probably mentioned this before, but I love Sporcle. Great place to waste time for anyone who has a ton of useless information inside of his or her head. Anyway, a few friends found some quizzes about anime openings, and I had fun taking them, even as a few of them, uh, humbled me quite a bit, haha.

First is by far the easiest, because it has both animation and music. I got 75/101 on this one. The highest anyone I know has guessed is 97/101. Also, in that quiz, it's finicky about how you type the series in -- nothing other than letters. For instance (this is a freebie), Fate/Stay Night would instead be Fate Stay Night. That's tripped up a few people.

Then there is this set of three quizzes with music only. Much tougher. I got 31, 33 and a grand total of 11 (all out of 100), respectively. Oi.

Have fun!
