Anime Shiritori

[Maruno]

For those who don't know the game of Shiritori, I'll explain. Here's an example:

Cowboy
Yoghurt
Table
Exit
Travel
etc.

As you can see, each word begins with the last letter of the previous word. It's that easy. In this game, you can also use the last 2 letters of the previous word if you prefer.

Or is it? Shiritori is a Japanese game, and since no Japanese words begin with "N" (as opposed to "na" or "ne", etc.), playing a word ending in "N" loses. We'll be keeping this rule.

Also, this is Anime Shiritori, so only anime and manga-related words are allowed. That is, only obviously anime-related words are allowed. Just because many anime feature tables, doesn't mean you can play "table".

Let's get started.

The last letter only. See the example in the first post. We speak English in this thread, even though the words will most often be Japanese.

The "n" rule is vital in the Japanese game, but it's just traditional in this one.

I've just had the thought that maybe this won't go too well. I mean, we're most likely just going to list words that begin with vowels, given that's how Japanese works.

From now on, you can use the last 2 letters instead of just the last letter.

Of Tenchi Muyo! fame. A classic.
