Anime Apples to Apples?

[minakichan]

My anime club <3 Apples to Apples and we're thinking of developing an anime version to play with the incoming freshmen. I've already make a cute moe apple card template; now we just need like X00 words to put into it =w=;;;

Once the game is done, I'll probably be uploading it somewhere for other fans to use. What noun and adjective cards do you think should go in there? (Potential flavor text/synonyms for red/green cards respectively are appreciated too!) I'm looking for stuff that's not too obscure but not too mainstream either. I'll also post more as I think of them.

So far:
Red cards:
Anime
Manga
JRPGs
Big Eyes
Tsundere
Yandere
Magical Girlfriends
Swords
Pokemon
Internet Memes
Shinji Ikari
Gothic Lolita
Weeaboo
Naruto
Bad Dubbing
Moe
Anime Conventions
Cosplayers
Furries
Alchemy
Char Aznable
Giant Robots
Tentacles

Sounds interesting. It might help a lot if you explained how the game "Apples to Apples" works. I'm sure not everyone here is familier with it.

Sounds like fun! XD I'd play!

I have absolutely no idea how to play that :S

Lemme try: The game is made up of red and green cards. Red cards are nouns, proper and improper (meatloaf, Cary Grant, the French Riviera), while green cards are adjectives (innocent, shiny, frightening). Every player has a hand of red cards, except for one who is designated the picker (the picker changes every round, usually). The picker draws a green card, and everyone else puts down a red card that they think fits the green card. For example, if the green card is "foreign," a red card might be "soy sauce." It's best if the picker doesn't know who played what red card.

Now here's the fun part: The picker picks the red card that they think best fits the green card. The one they pick might be the most obvious connection, or a less fitting one, or even one that's the exact opposite; it depends on what the picker wants. Arguments will be had about the validity of the pick. However, if you think you know the picker well enough, you can use this to your advantage by pandering to their tastes.

Anyway, if the picker picks your red card, you keep the green card. Everyone who played a red card draws another red card, a new picker is chosen and draws a new green card, and the game continues until one player has a certain number of green cards. It's a lot more fun than I can make it sound, especially at parties.

As for new red cards, I can only make one suggestion: Fangirls. Also, are you going to be using the standard set for green cards, or are you going to make a new set?

We play this ALOT at our college, it always makes for a good time.


Maybe,

Shounen
Shojo
Crossplayers (This one could be questionable, but it could make for a good laugh.)
Mecha
Ninja (Yeah mainstream, but it's hard to ignore when there are many anime that have them.)
Samurai
Otaku (The really devout ones who stay in doors and watching nothing but anime. Not the same as Weeaboo.)
Sakura (Cheery blossoms, it's hard to find anime that don't have them.)
Pocky
Ramune
Ramen
Shrines


If I think of more, I'll state them.

@ David- Yeah, you're right about the rules. I'm the guy that NEVER chooses the obvious one. I always pick the one I think is funniest.

Awesome, thanks for the suggestions!! (and explanation!! I forgot that not everyone knows how to play =w=;;; )

Also, are you going to be using the standard set for green cards, or are you going to make a new set?

I think I'll use some of the standard green cards but I'd like to add in a few anime-related ones as well. Not sure what anime adjectives there are aside from like, moe and tsundere though.
