I just remembered a glance of this Japanese Anime, on television between 2002-2007. There's this giant air-plane flying in the sky and a principle male character walking on one of its wings.

open90's ''anime'' show. Anime
I can't for the life of me figure out what show is on my mind. It might be Sailor Moon and my memory is just wrong, but here goes; It's an animated show that ran on either Cartoon Network or Fox Kids back in the 90's. There was a group of girls, that had like crystals or gemstones in their belts that shot out some sort of ray. They might have been riding horses, not too sure on that one. And if I'm not completely wrong every episode ended with some sort of life hack by a real person. I remember one that was you can only stab a straw through a potato if you cover the other en of the straw with your finger. Omg I feel totally crazy! Lol, but its been on my mind forever, hopefully someone can help. Please, all suggestions are welcome.
openChin massage thing? Anime
The scene in question has some guy who looks like an adult with glasses, and his chin is on a woman's back. His chin was doing some sort of vibrating thing, like he was massaging her? Another weird piece I remember about it is that there was another scene where an egg was being fried. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ what Anime is this? If it helps, i think I was watching late night toonami when it came on
Edited by BulhayaopenEither Japanese or Chinese fighting show Anime
So it's like one of those shows where you've got these main characters and they've got the ability to transform and summon some tools and things to fight with. They later introduce another main character but he doesn't really work with the first " 2 main characters". In one episode, the 3rd character finds out that the evil guys had killed his parents and then transforms from the device and kills them both. The first episode is when there's this guy, talking to his "device" that kind of looks like a dragon, they found another dragon device thing and it said it would choose it's own master. First episode, the " new master" is shown, and running from the evil guys. Oingg through the buildings and stuff, but barely remember anything in detail, it was shown around 2010 I'd say. Thanks for reading most of it :)
openHigh Quality Anime / CGI or some kind of Animated Series Anime
I watched the first 5-10 episodes of this show and than lost it. It was at least 8-10 years ago now that I have last heard of it.
The art-style I can´t really remember, back than it looked really realistic, so not your usual japanese anime. It looked more like CGI, kinda like the movie Gantz:O. (Screenshot from Gantz:o http://www.nerdgasmneeds.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/gantz-o-02.jpg) Maybe not this detailed
It takes place on some kind of post apocalyptic earth, where the ground is broken into rocks and is floating in the air. The characters are traveling either with bridges between these rocks or with somekind of space/air-ships. The main character is a girl (10-16 years old?) who has some kind of forbidden power, because of which the government (or the evil main character [I seriusly dont know what to call him/her]) is chasing her, after they found out of it. She is some kind of "chosen one". I think she accidentally learn to use it, she exaggerates and drawes attention to herself. There was something with her mom than trying to defend her of the people who are trying to capture the kid (her). [I am getting lost explaining all this]
She than tries to flee with her older brother, who has no powers but a boomerang as a main weapon. (no, not avatar) I think I can also vaguely remember some robots, but they were stationary (or were they?)
I am sorry for the bad description of this show, but I only remember so much.
Edited by NeonIGreenopenYou know that show Anime
I can't seem to recall this certain show where there's a military base in a desert on top of a Sandy colored plateau/mountain and inside of it there are monsters trapped inside. I remember one episode where the protagonist is trying to save people from these 4 legged monsters and everyone has fallen asleep and is in a coma but this one scientist is still awake(thanks to her shocking herself) and they end up going into this hospital where the outbreak started. That's all I can remember besides the fact the military base has armed troops and tanks.

Edited by ZappyNNopenOldish Anime Movie Anime
So when I was a little kid there was the anime-esque film that I cannot remember the title of for the life of me. The film was probably from the 90s, maybe early 2000s. It featured this kid with black hair. When he was a child, his father was going to be attacked by some men. So his dad hid him and i think he possibly told him to run? The dad was killed, and the kid ended up in like this underground area i think. I vividly remember that he ate a carrot when he woke up from this. There were animals around him, and he may or may not have socialized with them. I’m not sure Eventually, he meets this man that knew his father or something, and i believe he trains him to fight. then he goes to fight the people who killed his dad. I’ve been looking for this film for y e a r s so if you have any idea what it’s called, please let me know.
openTrapped in Another World Manga Anime
I'm looking for a manga which I saw the first volume of in a library a while ago.
The plot, insofar as I can remember it, involved the pilot of a space fighter who was caught in an explosion and woke up in a medieval fantasy world.
The scene I remember best is that the hero tried to help an ally out by using a flare gun to blind the enemy soldiers attacking him; but since the ally didn't know to close his eyes, he was also blinded by the flare.
I checked the manga listed on Trapped in Another World, but none of them seemed to be it.
openCan't find this one anime. Anime
So, basically all I can remember is that the protagonist found (met?) some little girl looking girl, and that because of her he gets some kind of weird suit that let's him do superhero like stuff? So there's another person similar with the fact that they can get this weird suit thing except it's a girl, and they know each other out of suit, but not in suit. There' also these 2 girls that get shot from the sky? And they are villains, or bad guys and whatever, and they meet the protagonist (the dude from I spoke of earlier) separately. One of the girls is more of a woman and was really hungry when she met the protag, so he decided to offer to buy her some food, but she started eating so much that he had to use his only 10000 yen (Something like that number?) that he promised he would only use for emergencies, he also contemplated if it was so much of a emergency to use it, but then it was just taken from his hands. The other girl looked more like a kid, and she met the protagonist while she was trying to peel an apple, and she kept on accidently cutting herself, so protag decided to try and teach her how to peel an apple. That's all I really remember, also, the last I remember seeing this anime was a few years ago on Netflix, it's not on Netflix anymore. I can't remember the name, so I would appreciate if anyone could tell me what it is. It might not be a western cartoon, but I'm pretty sure it was an anime.

open1960s/1970s anime with boy and equine Anime
I'm looking for the title of an anime that would have broadcast in the 1980s in Italy; the anime itself would have either been produced in Japan during the late 1960s through the 1970s given its more cartoony style.
It involved an ensemble consisting of humans and at least one funny animal character that was either a donkey or horse. They had various adventures; the one I remember most was kind of a Mind Screw involving a dairy farm. Some thieves were using milking machines to steal from the cows. The protagonists set a trap for them involving a fake cow that the donkey/horse was hiding inside of; the fake cow gave so much milk that the thieves actually started to suck at the fake cow's udders. (I'd expect that from something out of Japan.)
The only other thing I remember were the bumpers depicting the protagonists riding a roller coaster.
If anyone can ID this anime, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
