openYoutube video about guy who goes into Japanese hobby shops... finds a Boku No Pico figure? Web Original
A few years ago I saw a vlog video of a young white man from the US visiting Japan, and he goes into some Japanese toy and hobby stores with a female Japanese friend of his. I seem to remember he had a lot of videos about living in Japan on his channel. At one point in the video I'm looking for, he finds a figurine that I swear was of two characters from Boku No Pico and he asks his friends in Japanese "What is this? Hentai?" and she laughs and tells him yes. I've actually found what I believe to be the figure from the video but I want to make sure. Does anyone else know what video this is?

openold fantasy anime i used to love
a long time ago, when i was little and just getting into shows like Inuyasha, Gurren Lagann, i watched shows like these two that i forgot after. lucky for me i remember most of them now, but these three I can't really.
for starters, there used to be this really weird anime that I liked that had an art style similar to slayers. there was this group, starting with one but then coming to three, of like demons or something that met a girl from the future or who was in stasis, I dunno (the girl is pretty plain so that might be why i don't remember), the first one was either a boy or girl, but had fire as a power and a red gem on their body someplace. unsure where, might be on the forehead, and their hair was red as well, and they wore red robes i believe, had a tail, and were also short. then there was one who was all blue, and who had a blue gem in their forehead. i think the last of the three was yellow or green, either for lightning or wind, but i don't remember. anyway they all worked together to try and help the girl. they all fought with magic, and the red one had a sword i believe, and not only that but when they defeated an enemy sometimes they'd get a card pertaining to their powers. sort of like megaman when he beats a robot master and gets a new power.
secondly, there was this excorcist show where there was a demon guy, and a girl, who went around and fought demons together. it had a style sort of similar to the modern day blue excorcist, but it was much older, and aired in a block on scyfy channel next to gurren lagann, at night. I think i already looked to see if SCYFY channel aired anime, but i'm unsure if i could find it.
finally, there was another anime similar to the one above, even in animation, so i'm unsure if they were seperate or not. but they also fought demons, and i remember a scene where they imprisoned a bunch in these purple cubes of energy, similar to energon cubes from transformers. i believe this was the power of one of the characters, or perhaps a fighting technique many of them could use. i think the main character used a holy staff of some sort.
any help is appreciated, this is driving me crazier than when i couldn't figure out what movie i was thinking of when it was nausicaa and the valley of the wind X3
openSitcom about 3 couples Live Action TV
I remember a sitcom about three couples - A new couple where the Girlfriend is pregnant, a couple that have been going steady for a few years, and the parents of both couples' girlfriends - but I can't remember the name. Some things I remember include: -There was a Halloween Episode where one of the daughters hates Halloween because it's also her birthday, a waiter in a Darth Vader Mask announces himself as Darth Waiter, and the Dad buys knockoff candy from Chinatown or something that is barely edible -An episode where the expecting couple decide their apartment is too small, and buy a firehouse -An episode after the Firehouse where the non-expecting couples get different ideas on how to become godparents, the younger of the two go for adopting the expecting couple's cat (Mr. Meowgi) -An episode where a banquet or something gives out film cells from The Little Mermaid, the expecting daughter wants one because she had red hair and was called Ariel because of it, and the other one wants it because she deluded herself into believing the same story -A season finale where the younger couple get married and become parents within the space of seconds
openUnknown Western Animation
I can't remember the name of a cartoon I used to watch where the kids were kind of like super heros, like Code Lyoko, and they had a base in a shed or club house, and old man was with them, maybe their leader, and there was one kid who always skated but hated pigeons. There was a Venus fly trap kind of plant that was alive too... and the outro song had a spinning logo. Can anyone help me find the name?
openOld Cartoon with Underground Frog People
I have this memory of this old cartoon I used to watch, what I remember is this girl going underground and there's these frog people in cloaks, that's all I know, if anybody knows what I'm talking about that would great.
openUnknown Live Action TV
I have a recalection of an old tv show I watched as a kid and I've been searching for it for a few years with no joy. It was about an American family living in modern day America but they either came from a Medevil time or a fairy tail world - I believe it was the latter. I think it was a Disney show but searching old Disney shows doesn't bring anything up. There was a farther, mother and kids and each week something would happen related to their time - I'm 99% sure it was a fairytale world they came from as I have a slight recollection of things like a bean stalk and giants etc. At a guess it would be early 90's maybe late 80's - Please help
openShow from middle-late 2000s Live Action TV
It's a live action show, maybe it was on Cartoon Network? It was Sci-Fi. There were three main characters, two boys and a girl. The girl was from a video game world, she was competent and independent, frequently rejecting the help of the two male characters. The main male character had a single dad. The two male leads played a video game which turned out to be its own world, there was some sort of evil villain in the game who was spreading out into the real world. The girl comes out of the video game world and enrolls into school with the two boys to keep up appearances that she's a real human being and not some virtual being. I remember two scenes: one is a portal to the game opening up in the boiler room of the school, another is the main character's dad being possessed by a plant monster and being turned into a zombie and being locked in the closet. Please tell me I didn't just make this whole show up. It's not Code Lyoko and from what I do remember it didn't do so well.
openLooking for a 2000's cartoon Western Animation
It was a cartoon from somewhere between 2000 to 2010. I didn't see much of the show but what i do remember is that there were several main characters, at least one of them a girl. Somewhere in the story they save a whale from the antagonists and the whale becomes their new base. I also remember the girl going on some sort of solo mission and being hypnotized by one if the antagonists. I think the show was on cartoon network, or boomerang, since I remember other shows like Fosters Home ect. And Flapjack.
Edited by Windtalker55openNot sure tv show about angels Live Action TV
Its about nephilim the other angels are chasing them, trying to kill them.
opentv show about nephilim
They are being hunted by angels I think, and the are trying to do something, that will make them safe somehow. It was really weird show. Made around 2003, I think? It had a lot of good looking actors. And the lead character had human parents for some reason.
openMain villain has lobstar hand Live Action TV
I remember seeing a kids show with a male main charactor who wore a blue superhero suit. One of the villains wore a red suit and had a lobster claw for his hand. The hero would often stop the claw from doing bad things. This show has been bugging me for about 5 years now and i just cant remember its name.
openHelp
There was a cartoon I used to watch when I was younger, it was a group of people who fought villains of some sort. They wore red ropes. I can only remember 2 characters, one was short, he had yellow skin, and dots that would light up on his forehead. The other a larger buff guy who wore a cowboy hat. They could control different elements I do believe
openMemories in a mosaic? Western Animation
Out of nowhere I remembered a scene from an animated movie (I think?). I have no idea what the context was or anything. There was someone who had lost their memories in some sort of big building or factory or something. The people running the building stored peoples' memories as mosaics. The protagonist got their memories back as a mosaic - it was red and green, I think, with a yellow/gold frame. I have no idea what this is from and it's starting to drive me crazy. Can anyone help?
openLive-action Fantasy movie? Film
I remember watching a movie at school when I was younger (around 7-10 in 2007-2010, but I could be wrong). I don't remember much of it, but I remember "Sparrow Hawk" or something like that being said in the movie and that it had something to do with the main character. I also remember the main character encountered some evil demon-looking thing and revealing that it was actually "Sparrow Hawk"/a part of him. I can't remember anything else of it.
Anyone who knows what I'm talking about?
openShow a friend told me about years ago Anime
A friend told me years ago about a show she liked. I can't remember if it was an anime or a western cartoon, but I believe it was one of the two. According to her, the premise is that there's a school for people with some kind of magic, but there are specific limitations to this magic. I believe there might have been four kinds of limitations, but I can only recall three; with every time you use the magic you lose a bit of your lifespan, with every time you use your magic it hurts greatly, or you can only use a small amount of magic at a time. I remember she also told me about a specific character, a boy who could bring stuffed animals to life at the cost of part of his lifespan but wouldn't tell anyone he did it for this was the cost. Does this sound familiar to anyone?
Ok I need help with this one. I have been searching for a long time and I have found actually nothing. All I can remember was it was about some kids fighting using their shadows, their shadows turned into giant monsters that moved when they moved. It was like two kids fighting with giant puppets. Note: I say kids it could very well be adults. Its very hazy. I can't even remember what channel it was on.i was hoping it was so unique that it would be hard to find something similar.
