 Our Easter Bunny is having a bit of a fuss over our foiled plan to make MAL into MyKittyList. "Why not MyBunnyList?" he cries angrily while preparing Easter chocolate. Intent on revenge, he hired a Phantom Thief to steal all of MAL's kitties! But as with all phantom thieves, this thief has left a trail of calling cards in form of easter eggs and hints pointing towards his next target.If there are any MAL Detectives out there who could retrieve our stolen kitties, we would greatly appreciate it! You may work alone or with a trusty partner. The easter eggs can appear on either anime/manga/character database entry pages or on staff profiles. Each egg will be embedded in an image on the page - some relatively easy to find and others not so much... On every entry/page that you find an egg, you will also find a hint to the next entry/page. Be sure to hunt around, as some hints are hidden even better than the eggs themselves~ When all of the calling cards (easter eggs) are collected, the letters on them will spell a message hinting at the identity of the Phantom Thief. The hint is not scrambled, so you'll need to collect the eggs in order! Please PM the Phantom Thief's hint and identity to the Tantei-Neko as soon as possible! We will announce our successful sleuths in order of timing on Tuesday, April 7th. If you run into any troubles, you may confer with your fellow detectives in this thread. But don't post the solutions you find in this thread! Otherwise you completely give away the answers for everyone else. If you all seem to be stuck and no one can move, the phantom thief may even drop an additional hint. To start you all off, the following note was left hinting at the thief's first target: Phantom said: A sensei cat who is extra lucky. Good luck and happy hunting~! Feeling stuck? We're sorry if we were a little too evil this year :( Here are some hints so far: |

| Good luck everyone :) If I find some time later, maybe I should do this as well... |
| Cats are the second greatest thing ever. I can see why anyone would want to thief them all. But you gotta ask yourself what sort of litter-box setup this phantom thief must have prepared in advance to deal with all the... leavings. |
| Good luck everyone! Find our kitties! :3 |
 |
| Those who actually care enough or have a lot of free time with nothing better to do... Have fun~ |

| Seems we forgot to add this again this year: Kineta said: If you run into any troubles, you may confer with your fellow detectives in this thread. But don't post the solutions you find in this thread! Otherwise you completely give away the answers for everyone else. If you all seem to be stuck and no one can move, the phantom thief may even drop an additional hint. Please limit helping each other here to *hints*. If you want to share answers, then please use PMs. The hints are somewhere on the same database/staff entry that you find the egg. It may not be on the same tab of the entry, but it will be on that entry. If you don't find the egg, then you might be on the wrong entry. |
| Good luck everyone |
| I really enjoyed last year's. Time consuming, but fun. :) Hopefully I get to find everything again. Right now, I found the egg, but not the next hint. edit: Welp. After posting, I finally found it. Huzzah. |
| I love these events but I also hate them. Stuck at the very first hint. //edit: Got it. |
Zelot said: Good luck everyone :) If I find some time later, maybe I should do this as well... I remember how we did this last year with Heddie & Niwa. I think you'd already finished it and were dropping us hints? xD Not sure if I'll do the one this year though. Just woke up and can't be bothered to use brain. |
| Damn it, I can't seem to find anything :D. Halp guys, another hint maybe :DDD? |
| I can't still find it. Help! xD |
|
| Sweet OP formatting. I meant to reply to the comments I'm so far behind on today, but heck, got a new priority set. :3 Let's do this. |
| If you're stuck on the first hint meaning: try replacing "teacher" with "sensei". If you're stuck finding the first egg: look very closely at all pics on any entry relating to this character - character/anime/manga. You should see a letter in an egg that blends into the picture. If you're stuck finding the second hint: look everywhere on the entry you found the first egg. There will be a hint on one of the tabs somewhere. |
| Will give it a try and see if I can continue this time. |
| Hint: The eggs don't necessarily look like eggs. Focus on the letters inside objects (that usually wouldn't be there). |
| The third hint is incredibly well hidden and I wouldn't have made it without the help of waybackmachine... I think this is a good thing. |
| Would I have any problems if I use add block ? |
 |
| Mind if I ask, how exactly does a hint look like? Is it written somewhere in the reviews or recommendations sections? |
| Aahhhhhh, it has started again, and like last time I'm already stuck on the first egg.. xDDD Gonna team up with my old teammates :D |
 |
Samii said: Mind if I ask, how exactly does a hint look like? Is it written somewhere in the reviews or recommendations sections? I would also like to know if the hint is necessarily in shape of text or can it be linking elsewhere or perhaps be visible from an image. |
| i guess i'll participate again too~ though i'm already stuck finding the hint for the 2nd egg lol |
 |
| Okay, I give up. Can't find the third one :( . Good luck to you all. |
| Anyone kind enough to give a hint for the first hint ? |
|
| hint 2, please show yourself D: |
|
Samii said: We wouldn't want to edit user text when placing hints, so reviews and recs are out of the question. Everything else is fair game~Is it written somewhere in the reviews or recommendations sections? If you're on a DB entry page, be sure to check all tabs and all spaces for possible hiding places. If the full hint itself isn't on the DB entry, then there will be half of the hint visible which you need to click on. What this means is, you don't need to click on every char on an anime entry to find the hint. Just look for anything that's out of place or isn't where it should be... |
AngelShiva said: Anyone kind enough to give a hint for the first hint ? Kineta gave a hint already. It should be very, very clear for you. |
| Stuck at finding the hint to the 5th egg... anyone got a hint for that hint? :) |

Thank you :D Was able to find the first hint! |
FlameWingman21 said: AngelShiva said: Anyone kind enough to give a hint for the first hint ? Kineta gave a hint already. It should be very, very clear for you. Thank you, I understand the hint you made, but I meant the second hint :3 The hint after I found the first egg. I'm so confused sorry :) So anyone kind enough for a hint of the hint on the first egg's page ? |
|
AngelShiva said: So anyone kind enough for a hint of the hint on the first egg's page ? Still looking for it. I found something that's off and sort-of makes a connection with this thread's OP, but see no eggs there. |
| What's the money reward for collecting all kitties? |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
Subpyro said: That's the hint, not the answer to the hint.

Kineta said: That's the hint, not the answer to the hint. Search for the answer and find the egg there~ I think I messed up on the order, found the egg first and then got to the hint for it. If such a thing is even possible. :p |
| Still can't find the first one.. Does it work on the mobile site aswell? |
 |
| Gosh, now we can't find the third hint.. maybe we should stop watching LCS. |
|
Ticohaba said: Still can't find the first one.. Does it work on the mobile site aswell? The first one should, but as much as I've seen, I highly recommend going through the event on a desktop software. |
