This thing is frelcking devil magic!

He is visited mostly by americans and works solely on user fed information. If you pick things that are well known to a very specific group, say deep digging anime lovers, he won't know about since most wouldn't be feeding him that info.

I know exactly how he works, but I know for certain if I thought of Saya from Saya no Uta, he'd get her right. I'm sure there are people other than me that know of the character I'm thinking of and visit this site, but perhaps they all have the same thought process as I have. "If he can't get my characters right, I won't feed him any."

Symphonic Rain isn't really obscure, I was actually expecting him to get one of the characters from it. So I picked 2 main characters from it, and he couldn't get them. Therefore, he won't be getting any information from me, until other people give him enough information for him to be considered worthy of my input. Akinator is posted in places where people like obscure visual novels and such, trust me. Some of the characters he tossed at me as incorrect answers were from some titles not well known at all. He was way off point with Phorni though. He guessed Lilly White, and then Lilly Black from Touhou. Then he just gave up and claimed it was an original I made.

you can choose Japanese and go from there

I found some obscure characters that way

Never even realized there were language flags on the page, I usually just click the start of the game and go along with it. I'll try in Japanese now, but then that just means I'll have to go hard mode on him and pick an obscure Japanese character. I'm wondering how many hits he even gets from Japan.


Edit: lol @ his Japanese questions, they're so straight forward.
