Please can anyone tell me what's the name of the series : It's a series almost horror and thriller, i watched in French language. IT has a villain all dressed in black, a golden mask on his face. He has a ring that can control human minds. He also almost every episode at it's end, listens to a music box, a ballerina maybe or something like that. Plus there is somethings with his ring about green and red when he control minds. And a detective maybe always tries to catch him but fails.

(I really wish this place had a way to set the medium as "fanfiction".) (^_^)''
A fanfiction for The Slayers that involves Lina an co going on a vacation to the island where Lina and Naga went in one of the OAV's, and L/G, A/Z and F/X having to get married. Because L-Sama was bored. And said so.
Or the world would end. >I
What I remember most about the story was that:
- It was funny, and it didn't take itself seriously.
- There may have been a wine talk about red -vs- white wine between Filia and Xellos
- The old guy that Lina helped in the OAV shows up as a ghost at one point, and Gourry freaks out when he realizes that Lina basically saved his whole line, and if she hadn't, he wouldn't have even existed.
- I think there was a comment about L-Sama taking Lina's shape, and by extension acting more like her.
- The three couples are about to get married when they realize they have no rings. One of them (Zel?) starts to freak out, and the priest tells him not to worry- it's not the end of the world! (But it totally is).
I thought it was on ff.net, but the filters and searches I did didn't work, so now I'm wondering if it *was* on ff.net and got moved, if it was there and it was deleted, or if it is there, and I'm just stupidly not seeing it.
So yeah... Does anyone know what I'm' talking about. ^^;;

The "Freaky Friday" Flip page refers to one of the Haruhi Suzumiya games having a body swap of Yuki and Mikuru, but doesn't say which game it is. Can anyone tell me?

Can anyone tell me the original versions of certain scenes in this
Axis Powers Hetalia video?: the France's kung-fu-esque pose, the Switzerland/Liechstenstein and Austria/Hungary dance, the China jump down and kung-fu-esque pose, and the America plate(?) scene. I swear I've seen them before in other anime.

Just a small question: Is the VN Jesus based on the manga of the same name? The Visual Novel index is directing us to the religious figure.

Sort of an inversion, I know the show I'm on about but it doesn't seem to exist!
It was called Cupido (at least the version I saw was. It was in that grey area between anime and western animation as I think it was a French show in the vein of Dogtanian or Willy Fog).
Anyway, the premise was there was a city, "Colourville" which had four districts. Everyone in a district was either White, Yellow, Red or Blue (skin, clothes, everything!) and the various districts hated each other. I mean really hated each other, like assaulting each other on sight.
Enter Cupido, a Cupid (obviously) who would shoot everyone with magical heart arrows and cause them to all become bestest friends. I remember at least one episode actually dealt with an "interracial" child as it were (a green child as the offspring of a yellow and blue couple). I can't remember if there was a Big Bad keeping tensions up between the districts or if it was just about racial prejudice, but that was the formula, two or more colours fight, Cupido saves the day.
Anyone else remember this or was I dreaming the whole thing?

I have vague memories of an anime that aired in Malaysia in the early half of the 90s. It involved a tank and at least an attack helicopter, and had two guys and a girl. I can't really remember whether the tank and another mecha and the attack chopper combined...
What I remember most is one ep with the chopper pilot gets shot down and is eventually captured by the big bad and crucified, and the dragon takes her time killing her by using a laser thimajig to slowly blast bits of her torn flightsuit off her, for great fanservice, which continued until the two guys showed up all Big Damn Heroes.
Last sequence of that ep had the chopper pilot being embarrased about her proposed new uniform, which was a sleek one-piece swimsuit.
so... yeah. anybody remember this?

Okay what I remember about it was it was about a group of people who when they were kids made some kind of symbol, and later on in their lives they find out some sort of world dominating organization is using the symbol they created. I can't remember if it was just a manga or if it was an anime either...

Okay, so currently I'm getting stuck on the name of this Widget Series (I think?) that basically has a brother-sister team (I think?) that fights crime by transforming into a magical boy/girl team that wear outfits that look right out of the disco age. They also fight a Goldfish Poop Gang on a regular basis and take their orders from a robot.
I can remember that they parodied Detective Conan at some point? I think.

does anyone know the anime/cartoon series that was on fox kids in the early 2000s, basically there was this bad guy who was brainwashing humans into being evil and turning them into super soldiers to take over earth, these soldiers would morph into these armoured warriors with some crystal but then one of them escaped before being brainwashed into a bad guy, fled to earth with his crystal and assumed the role as its main defender. then the human squad started building their own prototypes based on the armoured suit that the crystal would morph the protagonist into.

A few years ago(5-6ish) a friend had me watch an anime on DVD, it just recently poped into my head and i want to track it down. All i remember is it was about either a humanoid tiger, or a human with tiger-ish features..I vaguely remember stripes on him, living with or being controlled by a teenage boy who could either shoot, or control lightning. The only two episodes i remember anything about one was a beach episode involving a giant fish. And the other involved weasel demons that moved so fast no one could see them that knocked people down and cut them. Also each episode, or dvd disk ended with a completely unrelated comedy super deformed skit.

Okay, so I saw an episode of an anime six years ago when visiting Portugal (and therefore had NO IDEA what was going on or what the title was). The bits I remember are a boy being turned into a vampire (I'm pretty sure that's what happened anyway...) and being restrained by another guy who had orange hair and a green tartan poncho (or coat. possibly.) who was using silver thread or string.
And then some guys in futuristic white lab-coat-radiation-suit-hybrid outfits appeared which completely clashed with the old-church location and feel of the anime. Closing credits were just focused on one girl, I think.
I'm pretty sure it was made early 2000's, possibly late nineties. This has been bugging me for years, literally, if anyone can help me find out what it is I'll be immensely grateful
