"What's the Connection?" Anime game

[Bliss]

If all you can tell about a character is what you see in the posted image how will you know something like They were Irish? They don't all have red hair or speech bubbles showing off the gift of gab. <I know bad example. But really without knowing SOMETHING about the characters how can you make the connection?

Umm...wiki the character names? =^_^= S'what I did...

...okay no, I just took Sensei's clue about something in common with her, and went from there. ^_^;

Since you were told their names and the series they are from, a few rounds with Google should be enough to find a connection.

Since "they're Irish" is a guess, and we don't know that it's what Acey had in mind, yes, you should wait for the reply.

Yep! Of course, they hail from my little isle.

They are, as far as I know the only Irish characters in anime (I'd be pleased if someone corrected me). It seems a little unfair considering how many British or half-British characters there are dotted around in all kinds of anime.

Bliss, you're up!

[Bliss]

Uwaaa. Okay here I go.


Fate Testarossa from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.


Utau Hoshina from Shugo Chara

and finally


Rina Ogata from White Album

...You thought it was going to be a blonde with twintails huh? ^_^

[Shanami]

They all have some form of rivalry with the main female protagonist of the series? I suppose Rina makes that less likely, though she does fall for the same person, so it could kinda count.

I suppose I could dig deeper, but I'm feeling lazy and the Benedryl is soaking into my brain cells.

Dang, I hadn't even considered that possible connection. But no that's not the one I'm thinking of. There's something far more concrete and obvious that connects the three.

A big clue. You needn't watch any of the series to find out what the connection is. It'd certainly help but the connection does not concern plot.

Well, I think that two of them are idol singers, so I'll just go with idol singers and see what doesn't happen. ;p

Ah, unfortunately Fate isn't an Idol singer. ^_^; You're actually closer than you think. Just.. not quite right.

[Crescent Pulsar R]

Idol worshipers? ;p I kid, I kid. Well, I figured I'd give it a try.

Hmmmmm... I don't know if Fate is an idol worshipper though. ^_^;

[Neko-]

Coud you consider Nanoha an idol?

My 2 cents: they're all girls!!!!!!

[Acey]

[Anime geek mode activated] Might it be that they all share the same voice actress, Nana Mizuki?

Bing bong! You're absolutely correct. Each of those lovely ladies are voiced by the multi-talented idol Nana Mizuki.

[Acey]

Excellent!

Okay, what do all of the following characters have in common?


Sesshoumaru from Inuyasha.


Shizu Shidou from Maria+Holic.


Kei, Rin & Mikoto, all from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (aka So Long, Mr. Despair).

Hint: It's a plot-relevant commonality

IT'S A TRAP! @_@

No, wait.

In an alternative universe, I uselessly say: antagonist.
