And now.... Amethyst Angel Proudly Presents...
So the rights to your favorite anime series have been sold to an American corporation for broadcast on American network (or cable) TV. This is a cause for celebration, right? Well, whether you regard this development as a potential triumph or as a potential travesty, it IS an appropriate occasion for breaking out a bottle (or several bottles) of your favorite beverage and playing along with the Anime on American Broadcast TV Drinking Game!
At this point, in most drinking games you see on the web, people like to place disclosures saying how their site in no way condones the abuse or excessive consumption of alcohol, (although, when you think about it, since these ARE DRINKING games after all, they really kinda DO). All I have to say about the matter is that if there's anyone out there who is stupid enough to try and play this game using REAL alcohol, then they deserve whatever liver-related trauma they bring down upon themselves, and if they should happen to overconsume to the point where they poison themselves and thus remove themselves from the gene pool, so much the better. That's one less idiot we (and the rest of the universe) will have to be worrying about.
And now, on to the RULES:
When watching the Americanized version of your favorite anime series...
*Take a sip for every line of dialogue that's obviously been altered in some way from what it was in the original Japanese version--Sip any time a character says "darn", "heck", "gosh" or "blast". Sip every time you hear the words "get" or "destroy" where you would expect to hear the word "kill". And sip whenever you see a character reacting (or mysteriously over-reacting) in an odd or unexpected way to something another character has said.
*Take a drink if a character starts freaking out at the sight of blood which isn't there. (If you're playing along with REAL alcohol take a drink and keep ON drinking until you start to see imaginary blood yourself).
*Take a drink every time the censors/editors get sloppy and let slip something NOT suitable for the Y7 television rating. (A character screaming out an "Oh My God!", a trickle of blood, or a swear word. And chug if the swear word is anything OTHER than "damn" or "hell".)
*Take a drink for every change or omission the editors/censors made which you find to be absolutely ludicrous. (ie, not letting characters say words like "you suck," "bite me", "scumbag" or any other phrases which have by now become deeply rooted in the vocabulary of most typical three-year-olds in America...
*Take a drink for every change or omission made for reasons other than running time or content. And if you have absolutely NO IDEA why the change was made, drink and keep on drinking until you come upon a theory which makes sense. .(Warning: For those playing along with REAL alcohol and watching the Cartoon Network...You may pass out long before this happens.....)
*Take a drink if the standard for what is censored and what isn't changes noticeably from one show in the series to another. (If the standard should happen to fluctuate wildly in the course of a single episode, chug.)
*Take a drink for each piece of digitally rendered clothing painted onto any of the characters. (Bikinis and briefs both count as separate articles of clothing, so when you see them both being worn by a character, take TWO drinks). Chug an entire bottle for every piece of digitally rendered clothing which you happen to see painted onto a MALE character...
*Take a drink for every character whose name in the American version is different from that which it was in the Japanese version. (Take two drinks of you find yourself wondering how the hell they came up with that new name...)
*Take a drink for every character whose gender in the American version is different from that which it was in the Japanese version. Take an extra sip for any "extra" body parts which have been digitally added onto the character in the course of its sex change for American TV. (Breasts count as two separate items)...
*If you're watching a shoujo series which has been edited to appeal to 7 year old American boys with short attention spans, take a drink for every minute of meaningful dialogue or character development which has been sacrificed so that an action sequence or an unnecessary flashback could be spliced in.
*If the American version of the series has the same amount of commercial breaks as the Japanese version, take one drink.
Take TWO drinks if it also has the original eyecatch.
Take THREE drinks if it has the same ending credits sequence, including the original artwork and ending song complete with unaltered Japanese lyrics.
Take FOUR drinks if it has the same opening credits sequence complete with artwork and unaltered Japanese lyrics. (If it's shown on the Cartoon Network, take four drinks if it has ANY opening credits sequence at all...)
*If the American version of the opening credits sequence is different from the original, chug if the American version happens to be better than the Japanese version.
*Take a drink for every piece of merchandise you see in the stores which is related to any anime series shown on American TV. (This, of course, excludes all merchandise coming from any series with the word "-mon" in the title.) Oh, and you might want to wait until you're out of the store before you take a swig, (especially if you're playing along with REAL alcohol...)
*For every anime series which has been brought over to American TV, and then CANCELLED because it had been edited to death and had had every conceivable entertaining element stripped from it in a misguided attempt to aim it at an audience for which it was not intended, thus guaranteeing it could NEVER find an audience in this country...buy a beer and cry into it.
*For every anime series that the FOX network has bought the rights to....see above.....
There are all the rules I've managed to come up with so far. Here are some more, sent in to me by creative readers...
New Additions...
*Go to the liquor store if they skip a whole episode. (If you are watching The WB's Dub of CCS you should get to know the liquor store pretty well...) (Ashley)
*Take two sips if they have managed to make a secondary character almost as important as the main character...
(Ashley)*Take Two sips if a character's name is changed drastically/mispronounced.
(Ashley)*Chug if an entire character is omitted.
(Ashley)*Take one sip if The entire closing sequence is *omitted* in order to run cheesy advertisements for other shows including but not limited to... Power Rangers, MIB, Pokemon, and Digimon.
(Ashley)*Down the whole bottle if large and important plot elements are completely taken out. (once again I would *not* suggest using real alcohol while watching "Cardcaptors")
(Ashley)*Take one drink every time an alcoholic beverage is changed to a non-alcoholic one--tea, soda, fruit juice, etc. Hell, take two drinks--one for yourself, and one for the character who's trying to get smashed and is being deprived of that pleasure by the censors.
(Kellee Richards AKA Benzaiten)*Down the whole bottle if, by some miracle, the editors take an anime series that makes little, if any, sense at all in it's original Japanese form (you Eva people know what I'm talking about) and creatively snip and paste pieces here and there and cause the whole chaotic mess to finally make sense. If, while attempting this miracle, the editors manage to confuse the storyline even MORE than it originally was, drown yourself in a keg.
(Shah Mat)*Take one drink for any kanji that you know of that was removed from an anime. Take two drinks if you see any kanji that has been left IN an anime.
(Ranma Saotome)*Take a sip if a gay character is converted to a straight one (a la Sailor Moon).
(Albert Sterling Fisher)*Take another if the now straight character says that a member of the opposite sex is "cute" or "fine".
(Albert Sterling Fisher)*Take another if the character talks about the opposite sex with any other character.
(Albert Sterling Fisher)*Chug if a character is noticeably gay but edited down.
(Albert Sterling Fisher)*Break out the keg if anything sexual other than kissing is shown.
(Albert Sterling Fisher)*Take one big chug if a character talks about something he didn't know yet.
(David Schwager)*Take two big chugs if a section of plot is entirely cut out... and then talked about later!
(David Schwager)*Take three big chugs if a character's new voice is bad.
(David Schwager)*Take a gulp every time the music is different from what is should be. For most dubs, this is another one you really shouldn't be doing with real alcohol.
(David Schwager)*Take one good, hearty drink before seeing the premiere episode of ANY anime released to American broadcast television. You need something to keep your spirits up. Maybe it won't be so bad, right?
(Daniel Snyder)*Take a sip any time a character is paired up with someone who they're not supposed to be with in the Japanese.
(Eyodius Belladonna)*Take a drink if a character is taken out, then pops up in an eye catch or flashback, leaving you wondering who the hell that person was... Take two drinks if you're still wondering about it later.
(Eyodius Belladonna)*Down the bottle if the editors attempts to change the sex of a character actually SUCCEED.
(Eyodius Belladonna)*Take a sip if a catch phrase used in the series sounds better in Japanese than in English... Take two drinks if the catch phrase is horribly butchered in English. (I advise not to use real alcohol when watching Gundam Wing; or Slayers when it airs on Fox *wails*)
(Eyodius Belladonna)(Warning: Incoming Dub Rant)
*Take a drink if the voice of male character is played by a girl.. Two if the original Japanese character wasn't played by a girl... Take three drinks if it actually sounds good.
(Eyodius Belladonna)*Down a bottle if the voice actually fits the character... Buy a keg if it's even better than the Japanese actor's.
(Eyodius Belladonna)*Take one drink if a character uses (a) ridiculous slang/vernacular/lingo/accent. Make it two if it sounds natural. Start a-chuggin' if you start to like a character just because of that, because then you just plain need help.
(Damian Hood)*Down an entire keg if they actually leave religious symbols in the American Dub (Slayers Magic Circles, Evangelion Crosses, etc.)
(Kauaii Duo)*Sip if someone has clearly received wounds from a blow which did not connect!
(Richard Raichu ?)*Down a whole bottle using a beer bong if the American company makes the dub actor/actress sing songs and the actor/actress can't sing. (Remember Minmay from Macross?)
(Narrator_andrea)*Take a drink if a character's voice changes from show to show.
(Andy)***Warning incoming rant from a Robotech fan****
*Chug if two or more show's have been combined into one show(ie Robotech) (Lord Breetai)
*Chug if a scene made more sense in the dub then it did in the original or sub (as in the Bunny ears scene from Robotech Masters)
(Lord Breetai)*Chug every time a really good singer(Minmay from Macross) has been replaced by a horrible singer(Minmei from Robotech)
(Lord Breetai)*Take a sip every time to characters who arn't related in the original are in the Dub(ie Max jenuis(sterling robotech macross) and jennane francois(Dana Sterling Robotech masters)). Chug if in the course of the adoption the characters sexual orientation changes(ie uranus and neptune).
(Lord Breetai)*Down a bottle when a characters voice is so horrible there's millions of rants on it over the internet! No names mentioned of course..*cough* DavidMoo *cough*
(Nikora )*Slam a can of Yebisu (It's Good!) for any Japanese food that mysteriously changes into something American (example: Rice balls become Pastries,Okonomiyaki becomes pizza or pancakes) Slam two cans if it doesn't.
(Tarik)*If anything shown on FOX starts to make sense, stop drinking. Something is wrong.
(Chichirlos@aol.com)*Take a drink each time you see someone playing Shogi, Go, or even Mah-jongg, and it is passed off as Checkers, Backgammon, or Chess. Take two if it is not......
(Volfield)*Take two sips when you're seeing an anime and it's the American, gendered towards 10 year old boys version, and you find something crucial about the emotional plotline that the editors kept.
--Take three sips if it happens more than once.
--Down a whole keg if the editors cut something out and it made SENSE to cut it out (or helped the Americans to understand it (the intelligent ones, at least).
--Go swim in a fountain of *insert beverage here* if the editors ADDED something, and it enhanced the plot line!
*Take a swig every time some body parts were "tactfully" covered so that people didn't come in flaming the editors about nudity on a "saturday morning cartoon", whether by sparkly effects or CG clothing. (alcohol not recommended for people watching Sailor Moon or other magical shoujo sentai anime)
(The LoN no Miko)*Take a swig every time the prep before the show talks about stuff that doesn't happen.
--Take a swig every time the ending thingie talks about stuff that doesn't happen (like "Sailormoon says" and Escaflowne).
--Chug if they took out the opening prep and ending prep completely because they stuff they talked about was way outta whack.
*Take two sips every time the editors stick in transformation scenes (or display scenes with mecha posing everywhere) just to make
the show long enough to hold yet ANOTHER set of commercials. (alcohol not recommended with FOX)
*(Addendum to the one about Japanese songs) Chug a whole keg if they left in a song in the middle of the episode that provides some sort of meaning (or is just plain cool).
--Drown youself if they left the song in, but wrote it in english so that it sounds like screaming chickens (or something close). (When a girl who has justice, there by her side, never has to fe-e-ar ^^)
--Drink two kegs if the English mid-episode song is actually BETTER than the Japanese one.
*Take a shower in *insert beverage here* if the editor included some elements from the anime's manga counterpart.
--Take a bath if it helped the anime.(if this actually happens, tell me!)
*Chug if the editor left in a pun or jibe at another anime/genre in.
--Chug two mugs at once if it happens again.
--Chug three if you can tell they added one.
--Chug a keg if it makes sense and is funny! (à la Slayers Perfect)
*Take a drink whenever you notice that the music has been changed *this includes:
- stupid songs that were made for the series [techno opening for Escaflowne doesn't fit with the orchestral BGM]
- dumb theme song remakes [Di-di-di-digimon? What WERE they smoking when they put that together? Butterfly (the original Japanese opening) is way cuter..and the word Digimon isn't said ONCE!!!]
- the idiot's idea of an English "version", not a translation of a song [it is the crap called Sailormoon...]
- butchered BGM that has been randomly spliced together for no reason at all [oh poor, poor, Escaflowne...Yoko Kanno must've been cringing in pain]
*Chug chug chug if you own the soundtrack of said songs and music or you actually feel pain when hearing that mess they call music...
(ryuujinhime)*Drain the bottle if both occur...Hell, drain a six-pack....

(rude kaiser)*Take a drink when the current character talking isn't actually shown on screen while talking probably because this is extra unnecessary added dialogue.
(rude kaiser)*Take a drink when the American version adds in a joke that isn't funny.
(rude kaiser)*Take a drink when the American version has added name-calling in it's dialogue (when there shouldn't be ) which makes the anime seem more childish in an attempt to make it cooler.
(rude kaiser)*Memorable instrumental soundtracks are replaced for loud rock music or some other crappy tune that doesn't suit the show.
(johnathan teoh)*If a line in the American version has been changed just for the hell of it .
(johnathan teoh)*The beautifully animated and choregraphed intro with cool and catchy and memorable japanese pop/rock music has been switched for an intro that's just full of scenes and flashes from the show cutted and pasted together in one big mess backed up to a god awful loud, repetitive mindless drivel of a rock song consisting of less than 6-10 words usually consisting of somebody repeating the name of the show over and over and over .
(johnathan teoh)

*Sip when you realize that Ed ACTUALLY SPEAKS A SMALL PHRASE IN JAPANESE on
episode 12, "Jupiter Jazz Part 1" of Cowboy Bebop.
*Chug when you realize that that $100 box set of "Record of Lodoss War" at
Suncoast just came on the Reactor for free and you missed it.
*Chug when the ONE MOVIE you missed on Action Channel is also the ONE MOVIE

(LadyUranus)
*Drink down to the point of where your chugging is blocking out the audio in
the anime for every time you hear a voice that sounds just plain wrong.

deaf from the ones that are squeaky as rubbing a rubber balloon. (Ale)
*Give yourself a beer if an anime you’ve been following for a
while is brought over and people are stupid enough to believe that it’s actually new (Yu*Yu*Hakusho came BEFORE Dragonball Z, not
after, damn it!)
(These next few are by Eyochan)
*If there’s an anime that you’ve known and followed for years,
and some little weenie who’s only seen the dubbed version for
about a year claims that you don’t know anything about that
series, grab a keg and whack him over the head with it.
*Take a swig whenever you hear a name or word that was altered
because it was close to a swear word (like “gundam” was changed to
be pronounced like “gundm” because it sounded too close
to “goddamn”)
-- Down the whole bottle if it annoys you to no extent >_<
*Take a sip if the title was changed to something in English
-- Take two if the new title was named after something in the
series (like Mahou Tsukai Tai becoming The Magic Users Club, or
Bakuretsu Hunters becoming Sorcerer Hunters)
-- Take three if the title was changed to make it a part of
something it wasn’t really apart of (like Shin Kidousenki (New
Federation) Gundam Wing changed to Mobil Suit Gundam Wing. GW was
actually a fan novel that was so popular that they made it into an
anime; it’s not part of the original Mobil Suit timeline.)
-- Chug if you if you have no clue how they came up with the
English title (like Gensomaden Saiyuki becoming Paradise Raiders,
or Slayers Special becoming Slayers Book of Spells), and keep
chugging until you come up with something.
* Take a swig every time a character’s name is changed just
because it sounds “cuter” (ie: Daughter being changed to Dotta..
Think of how Slayers would be if everyone called Zel “Zelly-kins”
because SS thought it sounded cute).
* Take two sips if the screaming is actually believable.
*Take a sip and giggle any time anyone says “Who pissed in his
Cheerios?”
* Chug a bottle if the dub was actually good
-- Down a keg if the English was actually better than the Japanese
(I’ve actually seen a few cases!)
-- Down a keg then laugh if someone sees something in dub, and
tells you that it’s probably better in Japanese(because in these
people’s minds, dub=evil), then you tell them that the anime/movie
was actually made in English and dubbed in Japanese.
*Take a swig or two if you like a dub character’s catch phrase
better than the Japanese (*giggle* I love how Laucorn says Terry
Bogard’s name in the Fatal Furry movie ^__^)
*Take a sip if the show that really got you into anime was dubbed.
-- Down the bottle if you loved it so much that you got all three
of the seasons, OAVs and movies available at that time in raw
Japanese (even if you don’t know any) before the second half of
the first season was released (*cough* Slayers *cough* it was a
long time ago and I had no life then ^^;;;;)

gundam!ARRRGH!)

Take a drink for every hour it takes for them to understand that while that is anime it is "saturday morning anime" and not "hardcore anime."
*Chug it when you have to tie the relative up and tape their eyelids open then make them watch something like Hellsing or the like so they know what you mean by "hard core"
