Mini Anime
No not small resolution anime or short episode length, I'm talking Mini the car. And not the BMW kind, the real Mini built from 1959 to 2000 keeping the same basic design for 41 years giving real meaning to "if it ain't broke, don't fix it".
But I digress, what does this have to do with anime? Being the pedantic nerd that I am, I happen to notice these small mechanical wonders showing up in anime every so often and have started screencapping them. Because I'm a nerd. Pretty sure I mentioned that earlier. So without further ado, I present my ever expanding gallery of Minis. Enjoy!
Riding Bean
Trivia! The number plate is the same as the Bluesmobile in The Blues Brothers. The more you know...
Colorful
Phantom Quest Corp.
Blue Butterfly Fish
Plastic Nee-san
It may be a toy, but it still counts!
Cencoroll
Only shows up in the trailer and not the final release. Weird.
Gunslinger Girl
Whisper of the Heart
Even Ghibli's in on the action.
Animation Runner Kuromi
Kanon (2006)
Read or Die TV
Cat Girl Nuku Nuku
Patlabor WXIII
Kaede Newtown
OK this is a little dubious. It's the second car from the left, white with a black roof.
I'm pretty sure that's a Mini. If I can find a decent rip it should confirm it, so for the moment it's a maybe.
Working!!
Two in the first episode! I have high hopes for this series.
Boku no Pico
Don't ask.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzymiya
Parasyte
Colours:
Red=7
Green=5
