Colors TCG 14th Anniversary - Day 2



Hey everyone! Now that you've all got your reward-collecting threads up, let's really get this anniversary started with:

Series Name Shiritori


Today we're getting our wordplay on with a round of shiritori! You may already be familiar with shiritori from our very own Delete Shiritori with Kumagawa, but just in case you're not, here's how it works. Shiritori is a Japanese word game where each word played must start with the ending kana of the previous word. For example, if Player 1 offers up "onigiri," Player 2 could follow with "ringo." Then the next word would have to start with go. Since we'll be playing using the English alphabet, we'll be using beginning/ending letters instead of kana, of course.

But here's the twist: we won't be using just any words here. We'll be using series names! So, if I played Azumanga Daioh, the next person would have to play a series beginning with H, like Hunter x Hunter. Then someone else could play Radiata Stories, which would have to be followed with an S series, and on and on.

Rules:
• All series names played must be Colors-eligible. (See the top of the Donate a Deck post for more specifics.)
• Both English names and original language names for series are fine, as are full titles and common titles. Acronyms/initialisms are the only thing NOT allowed.
---Example: Both Attack on Titan and Shingeki no Kyojin would be fine, as would Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon and just Sailor Moon; but AoT, SnK, BSSM, or SM would NOT be valid plays.
• Series names that start or end with numbers are okay as long as the numbers are spelled out.
---Example: Play 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother or Megazone 23 as Three Thousand Leagues in Search of Mother or Megazone Twenty-Three.
• Can't think of a valid play? Try checking out sites like MyAnimeList, ANN's Encyclopedia, or Wikipedia.

How to Play:
• Post your play in a new comment, not as a reply to the previous person.
• You can play as many times as you want, but you must wait for at least two other players to comment before you can contribute again.
• Each of your first fifteen plays will net you two random cards: one starting with the first letter of your series name and one starting with the last letter. (ex. saillune01 and nirvash02 for playing Sailor Moon) After fifteen plays you won't receive any cards, but you can keep playing for fun or to help provide buffer for other players still trying to win cards!
• Your first play will also get you fourteenate02 from the anniversary deck!

And that's it! So to start us off, our first series name is:

Colors Universe


Like the other anniversary posts, this game will close on July 1st at noon GMT!
