[Puzzle] A Puzzle a Day #4 - Back to the Classics (Anime Quizzes)

Closed

SteamGifts has a pretty large anime following. It makes sense, then, that there are a wide variety of anime-related puzzles on the forums. The first one I can remember is this 5-character link puzzle by Hart523. Itstoohard was released around the same time and soon took over the anime quiz sector completely. Other examples of older anime puzzles include 1, 2, and Day 4 from MDuh. I may be mistaken, but I believe Zelghadis carries the record for most anime quizzes, with 6 base puzzles, some with multiple quizzes.

Here's my own version of the anime quiz.

Rules:
I can't believe I actually have to make this section, but apparently there are people who don't know the rules. Do not share answers, hints, giveaway links, the name of the giveaway or generally spoil the puzzle in any form.

If you solve at least half (15) of the puzzles, you will get an invite to a private giveaway at the end of July. I'll try to pick something that no one has already, but no guarantees. Please make a parent post in the giveaway to be counted. Also, to be invited to the bonus giveaway, post in A Puzzle a Day #30 with the puzzles you have solved. You are not required to solve the puzzles before the giveaways end anymore. Solving them at any point in time will count towards the 15 required puzzles

Solution
Common Theme: All of these started airing in the Fall 2012 season.

Hints: Reverse image search. Also, they follow a theme. Once you get a couple of them, it should not be too difficult to spot.

Actually I found out the theme after I found all the answers so it wasn't obvious to me at all xD

Considering that the only anime that I have watched and enjoyed is Spirited Away, I think I'll be proud that I only got the first one using a reverse image search.

While we're on the subject of anime, anyone know any good non-comedy/ecchi/slice of life shows that have an actual conslusion? I used to be really into anime (seen 250+ shows) but it started to put me off when I realised that there was never an ending to it.

Just realized that I made a mistake that I can't really fix. Q1 does not follow the theme I mentioned before.

Hmm, I think that confirms my hypothesis for the theme. I thought it was odd that everything but #1 fit it. When I found #3, I thought it didn't fit either, but now I think I see how it does...

Since some people were a bit confused, Q3 doesnt follow the theme exactly, but it's very, very close.
