openNun with a tank Anime
I only vaguely remember a cover art of what was either some manga/anime or JRPG. It featured a nun and some other character on top of a rather dieselpunky tank.
It kind of reminded me of Chrono Crusade, but there wasn't a tank, was there?
openCG giant robot comedy shorts on CN Anime
Back around 2007, I used the see these shorts about CG giant robots, can't remember if the backgrounds were 2D or what. Don't remember human characters. It played during Cartoon Network Brasil commercial breaks. Probably played throughout Latin America. They lived in the woods, maybe a scrapyard surrounded by woods. I vividly remember the brazilian title being "Robôbos", but the only thing I can find by that name is an old Three Stooges cartoon. There were about five robots, each a different color. Their bodies were similar in shape to Mazinger. Can't say if anime or just influenced by it.
openSimilar to Dinosaur King but in another world Anime
It was some sort of childrens cartoon/anime, with a character design reminiscent of Dinosaur King. The main kid, a boy, had some sort of monster/creature like a pokemon or something. I remember in one episode, the creature ran in circles around a city to create a glass dome with layers of glass and something else to make a dome to protect it from a sandstorm or something. I am also pretty sure this show doesn't occur on Earth, but another univese/world, but I could be wrong. Not digimon, nothing that comes up under dinosaur.
openThis is a manga i try to find Anime

openClass isekai goes home Anime
I'm trying to find a manga where a class gets isekaied then comes back home at the exact time they left. They all remember besides one guy who sacrificed himself to save them all. And i think it just becomes a nice slice of life high school where they all try to befirend the guy that died.
openA 3D animated show like Avatar Anime
Trying to find a not so old 3D animated show (I'm quite positive it was a mini-series but I am not sure :/) where the protagonist is a young boy having some kind of blue markings on his face, who goes around to learn to fight and other variety of skills from different senseis and has some kind of a weapon emitting blue light. The time period in the show is ancient and the show is most probably an anime but it's 3D animated somewhat like Pixar movies. The characters in the show are hybrids of humans and animals and I distinctly remember an Ox/bull-like character who was either a sensei or the antagonist. This is all I can remember and I've been trying to find it for 2 days now but I just can't seem to do it. I am so mad at myself because I loved that show growing up and now I can't even remember the name.
openAnimated Paranormal Investigation Show? Anime
It was a case of the week type of show, with a small team. I remember the plot of two episodes
One episode had a actress who thought she was haunted but was being stalked by her assistant.
Another had a secret abortion clinic in a mall basement, and the ghosts of the fetuses were attacking the (usually teen) parents.
I can't find anything on this
openA chinese animation about yoyo Anime
I watch this when I was a kid, and it was about protagonist who duelling with other characters with yoyos. They have tournament arcs
The most memorable thing I remember is that one of the characters was a robot lady, a pair of twins, one have spiky white hair and one who looks like James from Pokemon anime
openThe Mecha Pilot Got Isekai'd or Something... Anime
The only thing I remember about it is that the protagonist (I think) who pilots a black mecha gets Isekai'd to a different world and meets a girl there.
open"He seems to really like your hair, K___!" Anime
OK, so, I was browsing You Tube a long time ago, and I came upon this anime clip of a man with pink hair holding a baby, also with pink hair while a girl and some relatives watch. I believe the baby the man was holding was his past self. Anyways, the baby started pulling at the man's hair, prompting the girl watching to say something along the lines of "He seems to really like your hair, K___!" I can't remember for the life of me the rest of the man's name or where the anime was from or anything. I wasn't paying attention to the title so I can't search it, by the way.
There was a second part as well, possibly from the same anime. A different boy, the same girl and the baby were all hanging onto each-other, like a human chain. The girl was holding onto the boy's legs while the baby was holding on to the girl's shorts by the back pockets. I can't remember what happened next because it was such a long time ago.
Edited by jellygelly13openManga series about modern-day ninjas Anime
The series was about this ninja clan war/competition set in the modern day. The main character is a regular kid who somehow becomes the leader of a ninja clan, which included at least one ninja girl/love interest. The clans would fight and if a clan leader was defeated, the winner would take over as leader. One of the clans was animal themed and had a ninja bear. The series was mostly comedic but had some serious moments. At some point the main character loses his clan and has to restart, but that's about where I lost track of it.
openLooking dor this anime Anime
I took this screenshot a while back and have no idea where it is from:https://ibb.co/Phb6w8n
openRecent-ish Space Manga Anime
A couple months back I started reading a manga in the middle of the night. It was about a prince of some experimental universe or something going on adventures to reclaim his throne. The emperor had an embarrassing secret duck suit fetish or something.
The supporting cast included a robotic locker that had a girl inside, and a space pirate in the body of a cat. As far as I know, the name of the series is the name of the girl who was in the locker - called a coffin by the people in charge. It made Pico pico/piko/peko noises.
I'm hoping somebody knows of it... Thank you for your time!
open[Solved]Highschool student anime where guy gets possession powers Anime
I'm trying to remember the name of this anime where a brown haired highschool student is attacked by a white haired guy, who nearly kills him, but the brown haired guy ends up possessing the white haired guy before he actually gets killed. I think there was also mechas in the anime later on.
Edited by AnimaltameropenAnime with robbery in opening Anime
Around 2011-2012, I remember my sister watching this anime in the living room. The DVD had a trailer for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on it. The two main things I remember were a robbery in the opening, with guns firing and one character wearing a silly mask (that my mom commented on, but I sadly remember that more than the actual mask), and a scene where a character is covered in blood while another says to him "you look like you've seen a ghost." I vividly remember this line because when Pokémon: The Series during a Best Wishes episode used the phrase "you look like you've seen a Ghost-type Pokemon" I ended up getting reminded of that scene and feeling awkward.
Edited by KingofNightmaresopenAn Anime regarding card games Anime
It involved characters being spawned via cards. I recall one of major characters being a blonde female with ponytails that had a energetic, bubbly personality, their name was likely something like “Sunshine”, “Summer”, or “Sunny”, and she had a love interest that black hair and glasses. I remember the main character having blue hair. The blonde character was friends with a female band of three that wore clothes that matched their hair, one wore blue, one wore pink, and one wore green. The movie ends with the main characters in a prom/wedding dancing with each other. I recall the blonde character being stuck in a statute
The most I know about this show is that I found it on TV Tropes, The protagonist was some sort of sentai or superhero fanboy and there was a card where he and some guy got married.
