It's TIME! It's time for…

ANIME SHOW KING! The TV show that shows your knowledge of anime entertainment, manga tidbits, and other Japanese/American Knowledge! I am your PA, Minoru Shiraishi!

And now… here's your host… the voice actress that "wanted" to be Haruhi Suzumiya…
Konata Izumi!

Konata started to run down the stage, as the pyro goes off. She then smiled, bowing to the audience, wearing her black and red suit. She stepped up on the podium and announced, "Welcome to Anime Show King! The TV Show where you want to know your anime! I'm Konata Izumi, and we have a wonderful show today! Let's introduce our first guest! Minoru?"

Minoru announced, "Well, alright, Izumi-Chan! She is a Senior, just like Kona-Chan, from Izumi's school! She's the twin of the group, and a fiery tsundere. Please welcome… Kagami Hiiragi!"

Kagami walked to the first podium, as she sighed, "Why is she hosting an anime show?"

Konata cheered, "Hey, Minoru! Give out the next contestant!"

Minoru called, "Our next conestant, also goes to Izumi-Chan's high school, and is a 2nd year student! Give a hand for… Minami Iwasaki!"

Iwasaki appeared and thought, "Too many people…"

She was nervous, as Kagami cried, "Hey, come on!"

Konata called, "How about a third guest?"

Minoru announced, "Our final contestant also hails from the high school! She is the girl with, uh… Moé points, and is a Senior! Here's Miyuki Takara!"

Miyuki walked in, and was completely nervous. Kagami sighed, "This is incredibly nuts."

Minami spoke, "This is fun."

Yutaka cried out, "Minami! DO YOUR BEST!"

Konata smirked and said, "Well, then, you girls don't know the rules, but I'll be happy to oblige. In this game, you earn points and prizes for answering the questions. I forget to say is that you have fifteen seconds to correctly respond the question. And each answer right is worth 200 points. If you get it wrong, you get nothing, but you're still a winner to me. But three answers wrong in each round and you must pay the penalty. Be careful, when answering!"

Iwasaki said, "Lucky me."

Konata grabbed the cards and announced, "The category is… Anime Cities and Locations!"

I do not own Lucky Star, or the other animes. But I HAVE a wide knowledge.

QUESTION #1: Where in Japan, does the Hinatas in Sgt. Keroro live? And also, where exactly does Keroro live?

Kagami buzzed in and answered, "Tokyo! And also, Keroro lives in a basement."

Konata cheered, "Correct!"

She added, "Of course, we also would've accepted in a spaceship, underground, under the house."

Kagami shouted, "BE SPECIFIC!"

Konata said, "Since Kagami answered first, Iwasaki, this is for you!"

QUESTION #2: True or False – The setting for Haruhi Suzumiya is located in a high school called North High.

Iwasaki said, "False."

BZzt…

Konata smirked, "Nope. It's true. Strike one, Minami!"

She turned to Miyuki and asked, "Ready, Miyuki-San?"

Miyuki nodded, as Konata held the card.

QUESTION #3: In Cromartie High, what city did the class go to… … …by plane?

Kagami cried, "WHAT?"

Miyuki then said, "Uh… I think it's… You know, I never even watched Cromartie High. I'm sorry. I'm not used to destructive violence, even for high school boys."

Konata whispered, "Watch your tongue, Miyuki! We're on the air!"

Miyuki blushed, "Well… I…"

BZzt…

Konata smiled, "The correct answer is… Wu-Shu!"

Kagami sighed, "Knew it."

Konata then announced, "NOW! It is time for our next category! The category is… Romance!"

Iwasaki blushed and said, "Is that an anime thing, or is this general knowledge?"

Konata huffed, "Shut up…"

Kagami cried, "Get on with it!"

"Hands on buzzer…"

QUESTION #1: What is ANOTHER name for Yuri?"

Miyuki buzzed in and said, "Uh… I think it's called… Shoujou… I…"

Konata cheered, "CORRECT! The answer is Shoujou-Ai!"

Kagami yelled, "LIAR!"

"Oh, Kagami~! This question is for you…"

QUESTION #2: In "Strawberry Panic", what is the name of the school that features main character and love interest, Nagisa Aoi?

Kagami thought, "Darn… I know this! But why did she say a romance question, if it involves a romance anime/manga? I can say Miator… but…"

She called, "It's Miator High!"

Konata called, "Judges?"

DING!

Konata said, "CORRECT! The answer is St. Miator's Girl's Academy! Close, but they'll accept it!"

Kagami smacked her forehead and growled, "Of course! Saint Miator's…"

Konata said to Iwasaki, "Minami, this is for you."

QUESTION #3: What is the manga where the main girl dates a 1000-year old vampire? Might I add that the vampire was cute?

Iwasaki blushed, "Uh… Pass."

BZzt…

Konata said, "Too bad. Strike two, Iwasaki! The correct answer was Millennium Snow."

She turned to Miyuki and said, "Well, Miyuki, let us see if you can answer THIS!"

QUESTION #4: In the anime, Negima?, when you kiss someone, what does it mean?

Miyuki said, "I know that! I heard that if you kiss a teacher, you inherit magical powers. But I hardly see it, since it's more Harem and Comedy, than romance. From what I hear-."

BZzt…

Konata groaned, "Just say that a kiss gives you powers. But, too bad! The answer, in which was more specific, was…"

She groaned, as she looked at the card, "You're right. In the anime, it gives you powers, called a Pactio."

She turned to Kagami and asked, "What about this question? Answer this!"

QUESTION #5: In the popular anime, School Rumble, which character does the Class Rep, Haruki Hanai, fell in love with?

Kagami huffed, "I don't know School Rumble! Isn't that a fighting anime?"

Konata said, "No. It's more of comedy and romance. Like its slogan says, "WAIT! It's not what you think!" Five seconds…"

Kagami said, "I'd answer, but I don't remember. I'm going with… Akira Takano!"

BZzt…

Konata said, "Nope. She hated his guts, even when protecting Yakumo Tsukamoto, who was the girl he loved."

Kagami sighed, "NOW you tell me!"

Konata smiled, "Iwasaki, this is do or die!"

Iwasaki announced, "I'll take the penalty…"

Konata growled, "No. Wait until you answer this wrong!"

QUESTION #6: In "Boys Be…", who went on a date with Yumi Kazama?

Iwasaki responded, "I don't know…"

Konata asked, "Who let her on this show? Honestly, it is so hard to find fans of anime…"

Iwasaki responded, "I think Yutaka and M told me about that anime. I think it was Minami Kurumizawa."

BZzt…

Konata announced, "WRONG! It was Makoto Kurumizawa!"

She smiled and said, "So… You, Iwasaki-San, must pay the penalty!"

She then gave her a time bomb toy, with a small timer on it.

Konata said, "If you can name ALL the Japanese Districts, you'll get 500 points and a prize! You have ten seconds, before it explodes!"

Iwasaki gasped, and then responded, as the bomb ticked, "Uh… Ishikari… Sorachi… A-A-Abuta… Kamikawa… Na-Na-Nakagawa…"

Konata cheered at the camera, "Aren't we gruesome?"

POP!

The bomb sprouted confetti. Konata giggled, "You paid the penalty, but you didn't answer ALL the prefectures. But that's okay. You got five, so, you get 100 Points, for trying."

Konata said, "At the end of Round One, Kagami is in the lead, with 400 points; Miyuki-San has 200 points; Iwasaki has 100 points."

She held up a card and called, "Now it is time for Round Two. It is our SUPER DELUXE Know Your Anime Question! In this, I select a random anime, which features many interesting FAQs, facts, trivia, and well-known topics and hints."

She announced, "Hands on buzzers! Today's category is… Full Metal Panic!"

Kagami gasped, "Is she actually that stupid? She never saw that anime!"

FMP #1: Who voiced Kaname Chidori in the entire series?

Kagami buzzed in, "She was voiced by Satsuki Yukino in Japan. Luci Christian did the American Version!"

Konata gasped, "Whoa… Kagami gets 200 points!"

She called out to the crowd, "NO coaching, please!"

FMP #2: What was the Armslave that Sousuke Sagara pilot?

Miyuki buzzed in, "It was a white Armslave called 'Al'."

Konata huffed, "Acceptable. I thought you may have knowledge of the RK-92s."

FMP #3: In FUMOFFU, when did Bontakun first appear?

Kagami buzzed in, "Simple… Episode one of the first season, the plush toy appeared. However, Sousuke in the Bontakun first appeared in Episode 4, Act 2 – "A Single-Minded Stakeout"."

Konata cheered, "Correct!"

Kagami smiled, "Oh, come now. I know FUMOFFU, by heart. Give me a harder one!"

Konata smirked, "Fine. Since you asked, I'll give you a bonus question, once we finish here."

FMP #4: In Episode 13 of Season One, how did Tessa and Mao fight in the island, settling their grudge?

Iwasaki buzzed in, "Knowing them… I think they'd use paintballs, instead of bullets."

Konata smiled, "Good! Knowing the Captain, she cannot hurt her subordinates."

Kagami cried, "THAT WAS LUCK!"

FMP #5: In FUMOFFU Episode, what did Sousuke use to stop a sabotage of bread?

Kagami buzzed in, "Easy! He used teargas and electricity, after two attempts. Of course, Kaname stopped him from continuing, after the Coach, responsible for the three attempted sabotages, was succumbed to a hospital."

Konata smiled, "Three for Kagami! 800 points totaled!"

FMP #6: In The Second Raid, how did both Yu Fang AND Yu Lan die?

Miyuki cringed, "I should know this… Poor girls…"

Kagami huffed, "Wait… Which Yu Fang and Lan is she talking about? Darn it!"

NOTE: In the manga, the Yus were men, while the Yus were women in the anime.

Konata asked, "Give up?"

Iwasaki then looked away and said, "Pass…"

Konata said, "Time's up!"

Kagami cried, "Which one? Was it manga or anime?"

Konata exclaimed, "Since NO ONE got it, I'll explain! ANSWER: Yu Lan died first, being choked by a human-shaped Armslave, by Leonard Testarossa. While Gates killed Yu Fang, inside her mobile suit, while he used Yu Lan's body as a bait, just to make her angry."

Kagami sighed, "So, that's it…"

Konata smirked, "Kagami, since you have the most Full Metal answers right, you get the SUPER DELUXE BONUS question!"

FMP #7: In the episode, "Part-Time Steady", the seiyuu of Satoru Shirai is Katsuyuki Konishi. After that, who did he later voice as, and which anime did he appear in?

Kagami shuddered, as she was confused, "Oh, man! I think I know… Katsuyuki… Katsu… Uh… What else did he do?"

Konata smiled, "Five seconds!"

Kagami cried, "GAH! I don't know! I had it in the tip of my tongue!"

BZzt…

Konata cheered, "Time's up! Since you didn't answer, Kagami, you must pay the penalty."

Kagami cried, "WHAT? How can I? I almost had it, before you interrupted me!"

Konata exclaimed, "Konishi, the voice of Shirai in Full Metal Panic, later voiced in the Hetalia series! He was the voice of America and Canada!"

Kagami growled, "OF COURSE! Wait… Hetalia was a Web Anime!"

Konata exclaimed, "Kagami has 800 points, Miyuki-san has 400, and Iwasaki has 300. Kagami has a chance to increase her lead!"

She held up a remote. She then called, "In my hands, you'll notice I have two buttons. One of them has a prize. The other, has the penalty. Miss Hiiragi, push one. Gone clean wholesome fun!"

Kagami pressed the first button.

SPLASH!

Konata laughed, as she saw Kagami doused in fish and water. She said, "You paid the penalty. But it seems that you didn't win the prize. This calls for the next round."

She turned to Minami and asked, "So? How about you press the button, and see what the prize was?"

Minami pressed the button, and out popped Meito Anizawa, with a paper slip.

Konata cheered, "AND… Minami Iwasaki wins a ¥5,000 Gift Certificate to Animate Ikebukuro! And that's not all! Iwasaki also wins… a six-month supply of tasty and genuine ramen noodle cups!"

Kagami shouted, "THAT'S a lousy prize!"

Konata cheered, "Give the lucky girl a hand, folks!"

They applauded, as Yutaka cheered, "YAY! Minami-san! You win a prize!"

Meito cried, "TELL ME! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO PRESENT A WORTHY PRIZE TO OTAKU'S LIKE YOU?"

Konata huffed quietly, "Shut up, and don't be a spoiler sport…"

Meito growled in anger, "One day, Legendary Girl A… ONE DAY!"

He vanished, as Konata then held up her cards and said, "I shall now play you anime themes. In this round, you must perfectly score the most points, in karaoke. The twist is that you get to choose the song, which is hidden in our Wheel of Karaoke!""

Kagami groaned, "I'm weary…"

Iwasaki replied, "Can I go home, without my prizes?"

Konata responded, "Also, anybody who scores the lowest score will be eliminated. The winner gets 500 points and a chance at our Final Duel, in which the winner gets our Grand Prize! Get your darts ready!"

She then presented a wheel, with many song titles. She spun the wheel, as the girls threw darts at it. Kagami went first, as Konata revealed the first song.

She exclaimed, "Just follow the tune and the words, just to help. Remember, sing in full grace."

She announced, "Kagami-sama. You go first. You're song is… The theme to Doraemon!"

Miyuki blushed, "Oh. That is a classic. No one ever sang it, like that!"

Kagami huffed, "An old anime, huh? I'll do it!"

She began.

Konata said, "GO!"

Kagami sang the Doraemon theme. After that, she scored an 85.9.

She smirked, "Beat that!"

Iwasaki was up next, as she sang the song Futari no Mojipittan. She scored an 89.

Kagami cried, "NO WAY!"

Miyuki sang next, as she chose her song: "Chijō no Hoshi".

"This reminds me of back when we sang Karaoke…" Kagami thought, as Miyuki sang.

Miyuki finished, as she scored a 79. Miyuki blushed, "Oh, dear… I guess I'm out."

Konata smiled, "For being a good sport, and a girl on Moé points, I leave you with a parting gift. Sebastian, tell her what she receives!"

Minoru announced, "Miyuki Takara will take home a ¥500 Korean Barbeque dinner for two!"

Miyuki smiled, "Oh, wow! I'll bet Mom and I would go!"

Konata said, "Do it outside. And thanks for playing Anime Show King!"

Kagami huffed, "Poor Miyuki… That should've been me, so I can take Tsukasa with."

Konata grinned at her, "And you, Kagami, came in second, so you must pay the penalty!"

Kagami cried, "I don't wanna pay the penalty! I wanna go home!"

Konata said, as she whispered quietly, "Don't be upset, Kagami-sama. You may win against Minami. You're a third year; she's a second year and a friend of Yutaka's!"

A girl called out, "You'll be sorry!"

Konata called out, "Have you got a balcony in the doctor, lady?"

"No!" The girl called back.

Konata whispered to a walkie-talkie, "Get her out of here…"

XXXXX

Konata was between Minami and Kagami,

"And now, the final round is set!" She announced, "If you can answer five questions correctly, you shall win the GRAND PRIZE! Sebastian, what's the prize?"

Minoru called, "For participating, you shall receive a month's paid trip to a theme park for four of your choice, from anywhere in Japan!
The loser, however, shall receive ¥250, plus, a brand-new watch, made from Studzo, the leading dealership in diamonds and jewels.
The winner of this event will win… an All-Expense Paid trip for four to Hollywood! You'll spend six wonderful nights, relaxing in the sun, waves, and glitz and glamour, in Tinseltown, visiting many wonderful sites, including the Hollywood sign, the Brown Derby, and other essential places to visit!
All these prizes, and more, if you win in "Anime Show King"!"

By the way, that trademark logo was a fake; so, don't bother pointing that out.

Konata barked, "Hiiragi! Iwasaki! Are you ready?"

Kagami sighed, as she was revved up, "This is for my family. We've always wanted to go to America!"

Iwasaki thought, "I don't know if I should go…"

Konata began to announce the questions.

QUESTION #1: What is the name of the anime in which a boxer dies in the stool, making it the most impressive ending of a series?

Kagami called, "It was Ashita no Joe! It was the most saddening ending ever!"

DING!

QUESTION #2: Which, in the anime "Cromartie High", was NOT a use for Mechazawa?

Iwasaki responded, "Uh… I think… a desk?"

Konata smirked, "Yes, Minami! Of course, there were others, but it's hard to say."

QUESTION #3: In "Azumanga Daioh", how many girls, altogether, were shown as main characters?

Kagami called, "Six!"

Konata barked, "WRONG!"

Iwasaki spoke, "Uh, seven?"

Konata smiled, "CORRECT! There were Chiyo-Chan, Osaka, Sakaki-San, Kagura, Tomo-Chan, Yomi, and Kaorin!"

Kagami yelled, "WHAT ABOUT CHIHIRO?"

Konata huffed, "She doesn't count."

QUESTION #4: In "Fruits Basket", which of the Zodiac Animals is Kisa?

Iwasaki spoke, "Uh… A tiger. Her name is named after Kisaragi, the second month of the Japanese Calendar."

Konata cheered, "CORRECT! Kisa is a tiger!"

Kagami yelled, "How did she know that?"

QUESTION #5: Which of the ARMPIT Platoon is NOT a member?

Kagami said, "I know it's that pop idol frog."

Konata inquired, "What's her name?"

Kagami stuttered, "Uh… Um… Su… uh, wait…"

BZzt…

Konata smirked, "Iwasaki?"

Minami shook her head and passed. Konata announced, "The answer was: Sumomo."

Kagami shouted in disappointment, "AGH! I knew that! I had it!"

Konata scolded, "Pay attention…"

QUESTION #6: In the manga, Mazinger Z, who was Lorelei's father?

Kagami thought, "That's not easy… I'm saying Stroheim Heinrich."

Konata smirked, "That is… Correct!"

She then announced, "It comes down to the home stretch! Minami 3, Kagami 2!"

QUESTION #7: Which planet does NOT have a Sailor Scout named after?

Kagami said, "Easy! There were Sailors Moon, Venus, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, AND Pluto! But there was NO Sailor Sun or Earth."

Konata huffed, "Lucky…"

QUESTION #8: In an episode of Digimon, how did Leomon die, in the first season?

Minami spoke, "Uh…"

She shrugged, as Kagami responded, "That's easy! It sacrificed itself, in order to protect his Tamer."

BZzt…

Konata said, "Sorry… You were close, though. At that time, he was killed. I meant Season One!"

Minami said, "Well, I think… He risked his life against a metallic monkey."

Konata said, "Judges…"

BZzt…

Konata said, "Correct answer was: Leomon fought Metaletemon, but lost, even in his form, Saberleomon."

Kagami shouted, "Oh, come on! That was too simple!"

Konata smirked, "It gets harder!"

QUESTION #9: Which anime does Nabeshin does NOT appear in: Excel Saga, Nerima Daikon Brothers, or The Wallflower?

Minami asked, "Uh… The Wallflower?"

Konata gasped, "CORRECT!"

Minami explained, "Wait… I didn't mean it as an answer."

Konata smiled, "Aw, don't be that way… It still counts."

Kagami snuffed, "You did that, on purpose, did you?"

Konata said, "And now, the FINAL question!"

QUESTION #10: What is the name of the fruit in which Luffy of "One Piece" eats?

Kagami announced, "It's called a Gum-Gum Fruit. It's a devil fruit, in which Luffy stretches."

Konata cheered, "YES! And it's a tie!"

She announced, "Since I am out of questions… and we have a tie…"

She pulled out a small card and grinned, "Whoever can answer my final question shall win the big trip! Whoever gets it wrong, however, is automatically disqualified, but will receive the consolation prize."

She smiled, as Kagami was pumped, "You better give me a good one. Who am I kidding? Konata's got a Haruhi question. It's a cinch!"

But she spoke too soon. Konata exclaimed, "This category is… Happy Endings!"

QUESTION: In "Cowboy Bebop", what were the last words that Juila made to Spike?

Kagami stuttered, as Minami doesn't know. Konata then responded, "This is for ALL the marbles!"

She roared, "You got fifteen seconds!"

They cheered, as Kagami tried to remember. Konata then called, "Who can answer? If no one does, then-."

Kagami buzzed in. She called, "It's…"

Bang…

Kagami spoke clearly, "Bang…"

A long silence occurred, as Konata was shocked. She then giggled.

BZzt…

"WRONG!" She called, "Spike's words from Juila were "It's all just a dream…"

Kagami cringed and sobbed, "DAMN IT! NO!"

She dropped her head and yelled, "I didn't know! Since when do you have such knowledge?"

She snarled, "And how come you have NO Haruhi questions?"

Konata snubbed, "Obviously… You saw every episode, more than me. Besides… If I did, that would make you a lesser geek than I am."

Kagami sobbed pleaded, "Give me another chance! Please! Give me one more shot!"

She insisted, "I know the game is over, but give me a Haruhi question! I'll risk everything on it!"

Konata nodded and said, "Okay. Although, you will keep the diamond watch, the ¥250 Yen, and the trip for four to a theme park of your choice, I guess I can."

She called to the fans, "What do you say?"

They cheered, as Kagami smiled, "Thank you…"

Konata then asked the question to Kagami, "Okay, Kagami… This is for all the marbles. If you answer this question, I will give you an Izumi Secret Prize!"

QUESTION: In "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya", what was the birthmark on Mikuru Asahina; and where is it?

Kagami stuttered, and said nervously, "Uh… It was a star… and… it was in her… uh… her, uh…"

She growled, "AGH! It was in her chest! Now, fork it over!"

BZzt…

Konata smiled, "Oh, I'm sorry… You lose. The answer was: on her breast."

She then cheered, "But for trying, I'm giving you the Izumi Secret Prize, anyway. You get one week of me, for whatever you wanted!"

Kagami sighed, "Oh, whoopee…"

She then turned to Minami and cheered, "Minami Iwasaki… YOU ARE TONIGHT'S ANIME SHOW QUEEN!"

They cheered, as Kagami was confused, "Wait a minute! I lost, but it was right! Something is amiss, here."

She grabbed the cellphone, as Konata continued, "Minami, your prizes included the ¥5,000 gift certificate, the trip for four to the theme park of your choice, the cups of ramen noodles, and THE Trip for 4 to Hollywood!"

Minami blushed, as Yutaka ran down and hugged her. She cheered, "YAY! You did it, Minami!"

Konata then said, "And THAT will do it, folks! Join us, next week, for another edition… of Anime Show King!"

The applause continued, as the stage dimmed.

Kagami, still on stage, as it was empty, beckoned to Konata, as she was leaving.

"Hey, Kagami," she asked, "What's up?"

Kagami replied, "I had a call from Tsukasa. Apparently, she saw the episode, as well."

Konata smiled, "And? I was right. She had it on her right breast."

"Well, I was right. Our breasts are on our chest!"

Konata gulped.

"And, more importantly, chest and breast are the same meaning, for a woman! You were too embarrassed to say it, in front of Miyuki or Minami, huh?"

She gulped again, as Kagami concluded, "Also, you got it, way off! Mikuru's birthmark was a mole, shaped as a star, on her left breast! You didn't know, because you're flat chested!"

Konata gulped again, and nervously asked, "Uh… What are you saying? You said "in", but I said "on". You would've said "In her breasts". Then I'd allow it. You'd still lose, anyway."

Kagami asked her a question of her own. "Alright, Konata… Answer this."

QUESTION: In "Haruhi", where did Ryoko Asakura "transferred" to, after her battle with Nagato?

Konata whimpered, "Uh… I…"

BZzt…

Kagami smirked evilly, "Sorry! Time's up!"

She glared and laughed boomingly, "So, Konata, you must pay the penalty!"

She winked, as she stepped back, "Anyone for salmon?"

A huge waterfall poured onto Konata, as she was soaked, with fish on her.

Kagami smiled and left, "And that's for giving me a hard "Haruhi" question! A good challenge, though. But, at the very least, I get to go to a theme park with my family, as a consolation prize, which is this weekend. And you're not invited. I will bring you a souvenir, though."

She left, as Konata cried in disdain, "That's what I get for humoring her… I was funning her. That's what most game show hosts do…"

By the way, the answer was: Canada, in which it was a fake transfer, days after Nagato defeated Asakura.

The End

Stay tuned for a SPECIAL Lucky Channel Chapter, next week…

The fanfic you read had questions from many real animes and mangas. I had to Wiki them to learn a lot. But I got a lot of knowledge from animes I liked.
