PUZZLE #579: Triangle Tangle 8

PUZZLE #579
TRIANGLE TANGLE 8

To solve this puzzle, enter the 4-letter answer to each clue into the diagram either from top to bottom or diagonally upward. There are two numbers starting each clue; each answer begins in the triangle marked with the first number, and ends in the triangle marked with the second.

Once the grid has been filled in, there are two more words hiding in the topmost row of letters and the bottommost row of letters. Combine them both to get the FINAL ANSWER: the name of an anime TV series


1-2) The canine leader of the Bad Guys from DreamWorks' The Bad Guys, for one
2-3) Part of an envelope that gets licked
3-4) Second-lowest scoring hand in poker (just above "nothing")
4-5) Kelly from Live with Kelly and Mark who once hosted Generation Gap (2022-23)
5-6) Imitated a gorilla?
6-7) _____ Avenger (parodic computer game about a buck sick of getting shot at by hunters)
7-8) 2000s sitcom starring country singer McEntire
8-9) Swedish band that did "Money, Money, Money" and "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)"
9-10) "All that and _____ of chips": 2 wds.
10-11) Laundry detergent brand in a green bottle
11-12) Africa's longest river
12-13) Tickle Me _____ (hot toy of Christmas 1996)
13-14) Arabian country whose name becomes a person if you remove its first letter
14-15) Japanese word for "WHAT?!" (answer hidden in "UNANIMOUSLY")
15-16) Still competing: 2 wds.
16-17) Date Night (2010) actress Fey
17-18) Ancient Egyptian cross worn by some goths

Once you think you know what the FINAL ANSWER is, send it to either redhead64@chartermi.net or itsredhead64@gmail.com (though I'm more likely to check the second one) and I'll put your name on a solvers list once I post the answers in about two weeks. You can also use those email addresses to give me some comments and feedback (or even ask for a hint, though you'll be marked as having used one if you do so) or send me the answer to last week's puzzle, if you haven't already figured it out. If you have a printer and want to solve this puzzle on paper, just head below the break for a link to a .PDF version which you can print out!
