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

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
opencyborg fights meat moss Anime

openRich kid harem Anime
So it was a manga i used to read back when there was only a few chapters out. If i remember correctly mc was an heir to some big company and was hella rich, and he had a harem of girls who were taking care of him as a result. I remember one of the girl seemed to care about him as a person regardless, i don't remember the rest
Set up is similar to this https://mangadex.org/title/3ad71bcc-3b99-4da6-9c1f-729741cce411/tamarowa But the male main character is of high school age, and not as brazen with woman. I don't think it was a game show either. Sorry if it's too vague
openMecha anime: Kid with giant robot fighting corporate? Anime
I only remember one chapter: the protagonist was dressed in worn clothes and looked like some kind of "Wild Boy" with a connection to a giant robot. For some reason an organization was after him and the villain on duty was a fat man, somewhat old, who controlled a kind of robot shaped like a head (it was just a head without a body).
openAnime with wacky humor and multiple characters Anime
I'm not sure if it was a Shonen anime or Western animation. I only watched it once in TV, in the mid to late 2000s. It was dubbed to Spanish in this case. The plot was action-adventure oriented, with a group of main characters but I don't remember details. The only episode I watched was probably an early one, the group being in a field or a town.
There were two secondary characters who kind of joined the main group as allies, at least temporarily. One of them was an old man who was constantly doing dumb stuff in the background (maybe juggling or using a unicycle) and funnily saying "look at me, look what I do!" or something similar. The other character was a young man who also repeated a line in a similar fashion.
If I remember right, the main characters didn't pay much attention to those two men, as they were background comic relief or maybe just not plot-relevant. Despite the absurd humor, it seemed the series took itself seriously in some degree.
It's not Bo-bobo or Rave Master, but looked similar to them. Thank you!
Edited by combombopenNo Title Anime
There was a manga I'd encountered many years ago, purportedly one of the earliest in the Yuri Genre, where a girl meets and begins to fall for another girl. The second girl, it turns out, has horrific burn scars from a fire, and lives with a sister who was even more disfigured and blames the first girl's family for their misfortune and is plotting revenge.
open(Solved) Show/ first episode about a girl who wanted to hunt yokai and a yokai? Anime
The premise was like this girl came from the country to the city to be like, a youkai hunter or something?? And she runs into this dude who like helps her out but he’s secretly a fox youkai. He also like, helped her pick out a good kimono and I think a hair pin bc what she came from the countryside with was super stand-outish. There was also like, a clock tower and a chase scene and meeting outside the gate to the city at like, sundown or something. I think she also came to the city with her brother and they split up for the day to each go find work. I can't remember if this was just like, the first episode to a show or was an OVA but if anyone knows what I'm talking about I would greatly appreciate it.
Edited by ChibiterasujojoopenManga With A Chapter About The Red String of Fate Anime
I used to read this manga that I liked back in the day and I want to reread it, but I don't remember the name or anything about it. The only thing I remember is a chapter (or chapters) of this manga that talks about the red string of fate. One day at school the main character notices that her friends are falling in love or liking other people, than the person they used to like. They then bumped into a girl I think? Or boy? The Boy has a sister whose string is attached to her childhood friend and she didn't like that. She then painted her nails allowing her to break the string and tie it to the main character's male friend. The girl's brother is at the main character's school to fix the mess she made. At the end of the chapter or chapters, the main character (who is a girl) broke the red string of fate by making her friend realize he loves her or something like that. One detail about this is they made the nail polish with some herbs or something in order to see the red string. Another thing is this manga has a bit of magic, but I'm not sure. That's all I know about this chapter or chapters of this manga I am trying to find. If you guys know about this manga or the chapter of a manga I am describing please tell me!
openEcchi anime scene in store changing room Anime
I have this anime scene on my mind, a bit ecchi. It was a guy and a girl on a date (I think, or he was just helping her with shopping or something) and they were in a lingerine shop/section, and when the girl were gonna put her panties back on, she tripped and fell, somehow getting his face in between her legs. His eyes got all swirly from this little surprise, and while trying to get out he must've rubbed against her. Because, to no surprise, she had a little orgasm, even the staff yelled at them to pipe down. Anime girls, under the right circumstances they seem to orgasm just from being poked. There was also another girl outside, following them around I think. I'm guessing this was some harem anime, so she was lively a jealous girl following them around just to see what went down. She had irange hair and wore a bad 'disguise, cap mouthwear and sunglasses. Also, I think the girl in the changing room were named Nikita or something. Something with Nini or Mimi, I can't say for sure.
I'm really hoping someone can help me find this!
openShojo anime with two colorful monsters Anime
REPOST: When I was younger, I watched part of a scene from an anime randomly on TV. There was a girl who saw another girl with her parents. The first girl was then chased by then couple, and all of a sudden, these slimes emerge from the mom and the dad that form into two demon monsters with long claws (one red and one blue), which caused the parents to collapse; apparently were possessed by the monsters. The girl fights these monsters, but then the monsters embrace and fuse into a larger purple monster. So the girl fights this thing with magic or something and destroys it, and this causes the girl and her parents to wake up all better. I tried to search for it, but I couldn't find it. What could this anime have been?

openForgot manga title, help please! Anime
Totally forgotten one manga title. Main hero (female) had defeated a demon Queen and, as was custom, she was given a princess hand in marriage. That's first chapter. Now, hero and princess (married girls) need to figure out what to do about their current situation. Not to mention, the demon queen was defeated, not killed, and now, she spies on them and begins to develop feelings of her own for the heroine
Edited by m@xwellopenAnyone know where this image is from? Anime
I think this is anime, although it could be a Western cartoon. Anyway, I have an image in my head of a starfield with a huge wall of fire rising up "in front" of it (as, in, the fire was superimposed on the starfield, but still semi-transparent so you could see the starfield). I think it was shown when some character used some special attack they had. I'm sorry this is so vague, but it's all I remember.
openDoes anybody know what Anime\Manga show this is? Anime
So. The premise is a bit similar to My Hero Academia. Except, it's not about a story about some kid building up to be the next hero (although it acts like it just for a BIG fake protagonist decoy moment to unfurl itself in the end). Some boy encounters a girl, that at first glance looks like a sweet kid. ... Only, for her to attempt to kill the aforementioned boy in plausible cold blood. Then, it's revealed that she happens to be undercover and is working for a government (or something?) to kill others that have special abilities that are in the same vain as 'quirks' from MHA. So, does anybody out there know this animemanga?
