3 sounds like Pandora Hearts.
8... Macbeth?
9 is Zombieland.
11 is Shaman King.
15 sounds like .hack//Sign
21 is Power Rangers.
23 is Final Fantasy IX.

A bunch of others sound familiar, but I can't place them.

[ryuujidiceboy.livejournal.com]

Yep, those are all right~!

[starcrossed-sky.livejournal.com]

20 is KH Coded. 24 is the Colbert Report?

[ryuujidiceboy.livejournal.com]

Correct on both counts~!

[crazedinsaneone.livejournal.com]

4 is Okami

5 is Repo! The Genetic Opera

19 is Kuroshitsuji

24 is Colbert Report

Is 12 Avenue Q?

Blah, you should see the one I did on FB...I'd repost, but I can't get to FB...silly China!

Though, my favorite summary from Better Than It Sounds is this one:
Girls kill zombies with bells.
OR: young women splash around in freezing river to make sure nobody cheats the system.

DO YOU KNOW IT, DO YOU???

Also, my anime club made this into a game, and broke the club into 4 groups, plus me and another girl (we were told we couldn't actually play). The other girl and I got more right together than any of the massive groups did. It was lawls.

[ryuujidiceboy.livejournal.com]

Man, that sounds familiar but I can't place it. -flails-
That would be lawls~.

[te-llamo.livejournal.com]

Sorry to bust in but the first one's Sabriel, right? :O I'm such a nerd.

[crazedinsaneone.livejournal.com]

Yup, or close enough. Both quotes are talking about The Old Kingdom Trilogy (or Series, if the other two books planed ever get written).

And don't worry...when my club did this as a game, I got some really strange ones...like:
A Nerd, his girlfriend, her brother and the nerd's best friend live together and spend their time bickering and fighting the Nerd's insecure college rival, who really doesn't know how to let go of a grudge.

...though I don't read the comic and wasn't a huge fan of either of the movies...(it's Fantastic Four, btw)...

[ryuujidiceboy.livejournal.com]

All but 19 is correct~. I knew you'd get RepoXD.

[crazedinsaneone.livejournal.com]

14 is one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies...

And I think 22 is Soul Eater, but it's been awhile since I've seen it...

[ryuujidiceboy.livejournal.com]

Correct on both counts~! The PotC movie is At World's End~.
