How many do you recognize?

[robkelk]

Somebody's got way too much time on his or her hands. Apparently, this was copied from somebody's blog (don't know the URL).

I think I recognize about half the characters. There's characters from at least four Steps and two Staggers in the mix, and the timeframe ranges from at least the early-1990s to now...

I think I got all the names from the Usenet thread that brought this image to my attention. I think it doesn't name everyone.

Adding some spoiler space, in case you want to keep trying to identify them...

Hmmmmm...

I'm really glad that this isn't the Girls Girls Girls group...

And I'd bet Ranma's glad it isn't, too...

Because he's a guy...

I'd say 1979-2007ish is the range, considering there's good ol' Char Aznable up there in the upper left corner.

I call that picture faulty because of the lack of Nanoha and crew
But I'll see your picture anyway, and raise with this

Hrm.. it resized it automatically. Here's a link to the full size right here

Heh.  MegaZone is actually in that big one.

In no particular order:


*Snips most of the names*

• Saber, Emiya Shirô and Tôsaka Rin from "Fate Stay/Night"
  

Most definitely not a complete list. If only for the fact that it's missing Taiga, Illya and Sakura who are right next to Rin

That, and I see Louise and Saiga from Zero no Tsukaima as well.
@ Evil Midnight Lurker:

You mean Megazone the Anime, or Megazone of Undocumented Features fame? Both are *Ahem* Iconic enough to end up in something like this.

Be the Ultimate Ninja! Play Billy Vs. SNAKEMAN today!

[Norgarth]

The 5 pilots from Gundam Wing are hanging out in the first one as well.

I've seen the big one before, though I recognise several more sets of characters than I did last time.

There's also Reimu from the Touhou Project games.

[Evil Midnight Lurker]

I mean Zoner. He's on the upper left side, just above and to the right of Yuri and Kei, in a business suit with "Zoner" written on it,
alongside a bunch of folks who I assume were at the Anime Expo where this was drawn...

All that and even some BNF's!? Zoner too!? Okay, this one's going to my hard drive.
