openAnimated "children" show about a love story. Anime
I have some very vague memory about this one animated show that was rerunning when I was a kid (around 2006 maybe?) I say rerun because I was in China, and it was one of the few shows actually dubbed for a Chinese kid's channel. Whoever made that decision had to be fired, because I remember the show being boring as hell and rarely ever watched it. All I can remember it's a love story set most likely in historical Europe, with a peasant girl with blonde hair fallen in love with a man of loyalty or great wealth. The man have black hair, and a younger brother with blonde hair who also likes the girl. The villain I think was a girl with black hair who is more within the "prince's" social circle. Another bad guy was a duke(maybe?) who I pretty sure had a beard, and stayed in his dungeon a lot, who also has a shadow that never matches his movement. There is also a girl from a circus who I think got kidnapped a lot. Finally the opening credit's ending has the "prince" and the blonde girl spinning and dancing in front of a pick/red background. Also the only episode I remember had a doctor who looked exactly like the "prince", and was hired by the duke for his evil plan of some sort. it's also the same episode where everyone took sick of a disease that makes they temporally go blind or something.
openhorror movie or OVA Anime
I watched it in Italian before 2000 so it is an old one. I remember the opening was about the lunar calendar or the turn of the millennium. Near the beginning they call an old monk who impales a crow with a card with a five pointed star painted on it. Some kind of bad guy is going to descend from the moon an take this girl for his bride and they hide her in a monastery. But there everybody goes crazy and start eating each other. The girl then vomits a giant caterpillar with a human face. Then the dude comes and kidnaps her and it is over.

He also has classmates ranging from a tiger cub, a red bird, a purple and white panda girl and a white rabbit girl that the tiger cub had a crush on. and it was on the genre of a children's anime program.

Edited by C6-E9openEarly 2000s maybe 90’s Cartoonish-Anime Anime
SO there was 4 kids, one in a wheelchair and 3 others, I believe one was a girl and they all went through teleporters and went into a digital land with powers, they fought through robots and left through a portal in a tree and one of the kids had powers (and a suit) of a cat.. I’ve been looking for this for 3 years and can’t find the title. Unfortunately I don’t remember the others powers (girl character had black hair and looked kinda Asian)
openAnime - Late 90s Canada Space Channel Anime
It felt pretty standard anime back in the day, I can't even remember the plot. There was action, a girl protagonist who head voices or had visions or something. The only clear detail I remember is when the group tried to drive away out of the city it turned into a loop and they kept getting stuck. Action. What else? I think it was Space Channel when the new channels came out in Canada, but there's a chance it was Teletoon.

openEarly anime/cartoon from the early 2000's Anime
Anybody able to help me with finding an old cartoon I watched way back when. I can't remember the main plot, but it revolved around a group of people with their own 'monsters' per say, but the most prominent detail I recall is the younger character, a blonde girl who is disabled I think (she can't walk), but her brother who is an engineer or something developed some mechanical boots to help her walk again. The other two characters were a female and a dark haired-guy if I'm not mistaken. Not a lot to go on, except for the brother and his sister.

Hello there! Glad i got your attention! I have been thinking of this show that has been bugging me for a while. There were 3 kids and they had like this car toys where they could fight eachother with the cars. It had a champion and everything. Kinda like Bey Blade. It looked anime-ish from what i remember.

openLate 90's or Early-to-mid 2000's Anime/Western Cartoon Anime
I remember this late 90's or early-to-mid 2000's anime or western cartoon that was on very early in the morning on Disney xd or a channel similar to that with three main characters: a boy, girl, and another man. I think the characters were looking for three gems or jewels while also fighting or running away from these monsters or demon-like creatures that could change form. Some random details I can remember was that man had black hair and a beard and the name of the show started with a "D" or had one in it. I don't think this show was very popular, I've been trying to find the name of it.
openI'm trying to remember this cartoon Anime
I'm desperately trying to remember the name of an anime show. The show had a group of characters that centered around a male character a sword fighter. He was confident, and very powerful, there was also in his group a female character young in age and manorisms and another male who is the strong silent type. In the episode I remember, the group is trying to save a 2nd female character from a city of bad guys. They must complete her rescue in a time period and the city is shaped like a labyrinth. They all split up and come across a set characters of bad guys. The main male character fights off two bad guys over a endless dark pit , bad guys are goofy and banter back and forth with him in the end he wins but saves them. The girl they are trying to rescue is in the center of this city I a very high tower. Unfortunately that is all I remember. I hope someone can help find this for me. I believe it aired sometime between 2004-2011, I know it was on adult swim.
openANIMATED SERIES WITH PORTALS Anime
So I watched the series around 2010 and the only thing I can remember is that the main character could open a portal at will and jump out at a near location, kinda like a wormhole. There was also a scene i can remember, where the main character opened many portals after another, while keeping the momentum he had, to fly around or something.
Hope you guys can help me
openClassic Anime Anime
My very first anime was an anime that i found inside a cd case in the early 2000's my memory is so hazy but the only scene I remember(probably because it was my first time i had seen bare 2D breast) was that there was a girl inside a robot suit. I believe she was doing chores and her robot suit got discharged and she was left naked for the other characters to see thats when she freaked out and covered her body. Only scene I remember, never bothered to do any sort of asking because of the very little information i have of it but heres a go.
openFuzzy memory of cartoon Anime
A very long time ago (early 2000's) I watched this cartoon/anime, and i haven't been able to find it since. From what i remember, it was a TV show about the adventures of a boy (spy?) and his bodyguard (big, wore black suit & sunglasses). The thing that stuck with me most was that before every 'mission', they were sent off in this giant metal ball that was filled with water. This ball vehicle thing was then shot off to the location of the mission in a cannon type thing. If it helps, i remember one episode the Bodyguard goes blind somehow.
openMecha tv show from 2000s (possibly Gundam) Anime
I saw a tv show in the mid 2000s that heavily featured giant controlled robots. Here's what I remember: When the user began controlling the mecha, a black wall of material would fall and envelope them until they burst through. That would become the user's suit while they controlled the mecha. The users seemed to control the robots while standing on a platform on their shoulders. The main character was male. He gained many friends along his journey and had some competitions along the way. In one of the competitions, he faced two opponents at once. They cheated by setting up a giant magnet under the arena to immobilize the hero during the match. At the end of the series, some evil force with a giant space ship abducted his love interest. To beat the evil, all the mecha controllers from around the world had to join in fighting it. Before the final fight, the hero inherited/was given this horse mecha helper that belonged to his mentor. The evil ship had several mechanical arms that fought everyone while they tried to board the ship. One of earth's old champions was able to completely destroy one arm, but then was beaten. Eventually the heroes boarded the ship and fought through traps and stuff to rescue the girl.
