Wow, I can't believe someone messed up the Transformers question. To be honest, I'm a little surprise that they did an anime catagory considering like 90% of the contestants would never willing sit down and actually watch some anime. Unless, like their children dragged them into it watching it.

I think the Transformers answer was completely confused with a video game.

Or the woman who answered wrong was oblivious enough to confused it with Bee Movie...which she also got the title wrong.

Though I'd figure the 2007 live-action bit would give a hint at least.

Thanks Dave for making us proud. D:

I DARE them to choose some slightly-obscure, not-as-well-known anime. And make it the Final Jeopardy.

Times are changing, and with a lot of anime recognized by American mainstream media it isn't too surprising to me that it's made it on Jeopardy! as a category. The questions were simple enough anyway, but I guess challenging for those who are only vaguely familiar with anime.

I'm kinda laughing at the guy who got "Akira" wrong though(he said "Akiro").

What's really sad is the woman who said something pertaining to Bee Movie just because of the mention of Bumblebee when Bee Movie isn't even anime. :lana:

This is so shippable just because of one conversation.

Yes, because every single person on this planet should know everything about anime, and if they don't, then they should be executed for treason.
