WIN A PS5 AT THE EXTREMELY HARD TAKE-HOME ANIME QUIZ!

This is a multiple-choice, open-book, take-home quiz that begins on the Sakura-con site three weeks before the convention.  You are encouraged to use any resource at your disposal.  Some of the questions will test your understanding and ability to analyze anime, not just your memory.  Instead, you will need to do research into the real world of such topics as art, geography, history, literature, music and science.  The answers to the questions will provide additional context and meaning to the anime that you already enjoy.
