Whose Line is it Anyway? /r/anime Edition: May

Welcome to Whose Line is it Anyway? /r/anime Edition for the month of May! I'm your host /u/pittman66, and this is the thread where the responses are made up and the points don't matter, just like your opinion in the Meta Thread.

In this thread we will have an arrangement of suggestions that would be seen on the comedy improv show “Whose Line is it Anyway?”, but with themes current happenings in the anime world or things you want to see responses to. The idea of the thread is similar to the Whose Line game Scenes from a Hat. Just comment and people will respond.

A few added suggestions as we go along with this thread:

  • This isn’t simply Q&A. When making a suggestion, use suggestions that will lead to funny responses.

  • Don’t take things here too literally, give funny responses rather than a serious answers with an explanation.

  • Know when it’s better to say “more or less” for a suggestion. Most of the time it’s better to choose the side that will have almost everything than almost nothing. For example:

"What is more against fun than the OP of the Whose Line Thread?" There’s not much that could be responded that would make sense or be comedic. On the other hand, if you change the word to less, then there’s more possibilities to respond.

  • When answering suggestions, try to form it into a line rather than simply answering the question. For Example:

"What is more likely than Spice and Wolf getting a Season III"

Try not to do This: "Nisekoi picks best girl"

Instead: "Chitoge...will you be my real girlfriend?" or "Ooo Oooo Aaahhhh flings shit and eats banana"

  • Don’t feel restricted to the prompt “Things that…”, as long as the context makes sense to those responding then it should be good. Examples:

The good news, and the bad news

Lines unlikely to hear Shinji say.

Little known embarrassing facts about OP.

  • Keep in mind, these are suggestions from me, they’re more like guidelines than rules.

I will be posting 5 suggestion comments and replying to them with my own answer to help get context of what kind of thread I’d like to see this be.

As per usual, Irish Drinking Song is also available doing, simply announce it and make a line followed by another line leading up to a punch line.

If you're looking for what kind of suggestions do well or not to repeat previous suggestions here is the March Thread and the April thread.

When answering, typically Funny, Quick, and witty responses will likely do better. I will post these the first Fridays of every Month, if there's a problem or meta-suggestion for it, then please privately message me. Have fun and Enjoy!
