I know a few of the other ones but I've seen them ;;

Yes! A winner is yoooou ♥

Haha, you're so good not to go for them :) I figured people might know a lot of them already

A pro ballplayer's hometown is blown up by a giant Space Whale. One thousand years later, he goes on a quest to beat up his father. -- Haha, FFX?

cha-ching! Your knowledge has increased :3

The teams of Psychic Teenagers are definitely from Golden Sun.

The Love Dodecahedron is probably some chick anime but I'll go ahead and guess Code Geass because it could be described that way.

I see someone introduced you to TV Tropes. Haha, welcome to Awesomeland. This Troper's been going there for quite a while now.

ALSO, THE DRAGON ONE = DRAGONAGE?

Eight different high school students solve local murders by watching TV all night long. = Persona 4?

A miner and a delinquent team up with an underage girl for the purpose of fighting a race war. = Gurren Lagann?

Two groups of Psychic Teenagers travel the world, one to light lighthouses of power, while the other tries to stop them. The world either withers and dies or erupts in war. The game is based around colored gems being dropped into holes. It is not a puzzle game. = OH HI GOLDEN SUN

The father of the hero of the prequal which is actually the sequal goes off on a journey to find his dad with the help of two musical dragons. Then he has to go stop a Gonk from destroying the world and sucking out everyone's soul in the universe. = Fire Emblem 7?

A young aristocrat suffers a severe emotional crisis, is betrayed by his most trusted ally, abandoned by his family and country, treated with contempt by his friends, and attempts to kill himself repeatedly. = I'm not so sure about this one but...is it Tales of the Abyss?

Pfffft, I haven't played Final Fantasy XIII but now if I ever play all I'm going to see is Kanji and Rise.

El oh el. Space Whale? Never thought of it that way. Oh, I haven't beaten the game yet. =P

Ah man, everyone already found the ones I know. Wait, is the one about a boy bleeding for candy "Deadman Wonderland".

Oh, and I think Schoolgirl takes on a lot of extra work. Fans read lesbian subtext into Disney cartoon, creators are happy to oblige. is Kim Possible.

A young aristocrat suffers a severe emotional crisis, is betrayed by his most trusted ally, abandoned by his family and country, treated with contempt by his friends, and attempts to kill himself repeatedly. <-- Tales of the Abyss, if I'm not mistaken?

YESYES I'M SO GLAD SOMEONE GOT THAT ONE :)

I want to play it again so badly, but my disk is scratched :'(

Yes and yes!

And yeah, I would have said something different for Code Geass, but I can see where they're coming from.

I love reading the music tropes :3

You are right on all counts! Jeez, you guys are too good at this :P

als;dghka it's so funny, I can totally hear it when I listen close :3

Yessssss, you are right on both counts :D

You are right on everything except for Liar's Game... although looking it up on wiki I kinda want to read it now :3

=o my friend said it's like... death note, but intenserer. or something

Space whales are what TV Tropes uses to refer to the many species of whales-in-space that sci-fi stories have come up with for space.

Hehe, it's amazing that something so weird has been done so many times. I just saw an example on Doctor Who very recently, in fact.

It's already on the page I linked. WikiMagic is scary powerful.

Triple mention of space in one sentence = fail. xD
