In early 2005 my dad turned on the tv which had recorded Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends for me so it was on Cartoon Network, it was probably Adult Swim by this point, but it's possible it wasn't because CN had a non Pokemonesque Anime outside of AS at that time if I'm correct. Anyway, all we saw was a woman with purple hair and a van or camper of some kind, there might have been two women that looked just like this. What could it have been?

There was an anime I just caught the last couple minutes of on YTV a few years ago. All I know is that it took place on a spaceship and there was this woman that turned out to be an angel or a robot or something that exploded into tiny crystal shards, somehow saving the galaxy in the process. The male lead kept one of the shards. The woman had pale skin and long hair (can`t remember the exact colour), while the boy had short brown hair. I believe it was a movie, and the animation would suggest it came from the late 90s at the latest.

(I'm relatively sure this is anime, but it could also be western animation)
I remember watching a show at my friend's house a few times. Couldn't tell you what the channel was, even, but what I do remember is a very shonen-style show (think Dragonball Z with more bishonen protagonists). The hero had this red power ranger thing going, though I don't think it was a sentai show, and I remember a fight against an opponent who because invulnerable to any attack that hit him. I don't remember how that fight ended.

Does anyone know anything about a Yotsuba doujinshi with the premise of it being a doujinshi "that chronicles how Yotsuba met mister Koiwai. He was working in the peace corps in a ruined village when a dirty, impoverished, and orphaned Yotsuba approached him nervously."?

All I can remember is a scene from a manga, where in the words are "I'm just so damned lonely" coupled with a male character using his whole arm to hide his eyes/wipe his tears away. I think he may be wearing a Japanese boy's school uniform, but I'm not really sure, and I think (but don't know) that his sleeves didn't end right at his wrists, but were a little too long.
Maybe.
Does this ring any bells with anyone?

There was a manga I found around four or five years ago, and I can't for the life of me remember who it was by or what the name of it was. I remember the beginning was of a young man and an elderly woman on a ship, and they were speaking to one another, when the man pulled out a knife and wrapped the old woman's hands around the handle and forced her to stab him in the chest. The old woman screamed and the man fell off of the side of the ship. Also in the manga was a doll in a window that was incredibly life-like, and an elderly woman (not sure if it was the same woman or not) saw a man (again, not sure if it was the same man) with a girl that looked identical to the doll. It was probably a horror story, and it intrigued me. Anyone think it sounds familiar? If it helps, the art style was vaguely like Rumiko Takeashi.

I'm almost positive this is an anime because of the style/content, but there's about a sliver of a chance that it's Western Animation.
Anyway...this anime is probably about 6 years old (I saw it 4 years ago and it didn't seem new). The atmosphere was quite creepy, and the only scene I remember was at night. It was a house with I think concrete steps - maybe the house was surrounded by trees.
A little girl of about 6 was on the porch/steps, but when you look a bit closer she's a doll. She's got some wear and tear - there are some definite freaky things about her face (stains and the like around an eye, et cetera). She starts walking down the stairs but she falls apart before she can reach the last step.
At least, I think she was a doll. She looked like one. Any help is cool, guys :D

Okay, so when I was little I watched this show. It had this girl fighting these monster things with a sword. It had quite a few references to Japanese culture in it, like Japanese-style housing and such. I remember there being this huge building, where there was this monster that crashed through it once. There was also a forest with lanterns in it, leading to some house of some sort. I can't remember what it was, at all. Is there anyone who knows what I'm talking about and whether this was even real?

Has anyone ever read this Naruto Naru/Hina AU fanfic that was from Hanabi's point of few? The idea goes along with the idea that, when it's sunny and rainy at the same time, it's the Fox's wedding, and one day on a day like that, the fox Naruto took Hinata for a bride. I think it's a reminicense from a similar day, as Hanabi sees her sister, and Hinata's happy as the fox's bride. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

There was a manga about different people gaining amazing new powers, and how the more destructive ones among them were pretty much wreaking havoc. The main character was a teenage guy whose formerly kind and nonthreatening friend went over to the dark side, joins the gathering group of evil folks with powers, and had kidnapped a girl they both cared about. Eventually, the main character meets up with a younger boy and a teenage girl, both of whom have powers as well (if I remember correctly, the girl's powers were based around ice and/or water). One of the bad guys was a fat, creepy otaku. That's all I really remember at the moment. Anybody have an idea as to what manga this is? And no, I have no idea if it was made into an anime.

I remember seeing an animated movie based off of Mega Man Star Force 1 that aired on Cartoon Network during either summer 2007 or fall 2007. I tried to search for it on You Tube, but I was unable to locate it. So could someone help me.

it was a movie i saw as a little kid, it must be pre-2005 i think, it was about a kid that found an alien or some magical girl that needed him to recover a budist rosarie (mala) to recover her powers.
I remember some parts, in one the girl is very beautifoul and asks him to help him (she has blue hair), in other part he talks to someone after they have recovered a part of the mala that tells him that it was taken away from her a long long long time ago to prevent her from doing evil since she was very bad, almost a demon i think. in other part they are in a cave full of dripping water from the ceiling and just as the boy recovers the final part of the mala she tries to take it from him and when he refuses she turns into a monster, or a big head.... i think she turns into a giant Agyo or Ungyo head. After the boy is chased down by this "head", he destroys the mala and the alien cryes for the has lost her full powers forever.
At the end they are under a tree holding each other very romanticaly with cherry flowers falling from above... please help me!!!!

Does anyone know the episode of Bobobobo Bobobo where Beauty says "there's no crying in anime!"
This◊ image has clung to my brain like a tumor for quite a while because of how hard it is to determine the source thereof. The mostly obstructing text may be the main factor. Even Googling that text did little good.
