Anime time, people. I remember an OAV from the mid-'90s that had a strange title, Two Words, starting with A, not Japanese or English; it was like a made-up word. I don't remember its signifigance to the plot. The plot did have a blind woman trying to help solve a case involving a serial murderer. She had extrasensory abilities. Of course, she wound up becoming a target and the climax of the film had her dangling from the ledge of a building, with the main male hero trying to hold her up. This was also the anime's cover art.

I'm pretty sure it was an anime that aired on Fox Kids (Australia) back in the early 2000s. Judging from what I can remember, and the pictures of the characters I used to draw, it was some sort of monster-catching anime. There were two or three kids, I remember one of the kids having green hair. They either had to catch the monsters that were turning evil, or they had to calm them down. Each monster they befriended had a special ability of some sort. I remember there was a winged blob that according to my drawings was called "Getalong" (though that could have just been my nickname for it) that would shoot hearts to calm people down. There was also a pterodactyl like creature that I can remember being called Terry.
Does anyone recognise this show? It's been bugging me for years!

There was this anime show aired in Cartoon Network about a decade ago, There's a Magic Girl named Cha Cha with two other companions Lia and (some other Mage with a blue cloak) Cha Cha looks a lot like Red Riding hood but then she can transform into another form, with long blonde hair and looks similar to Sailor Venus from Sailor Moon but not really, her parents were turned into stone by a bunch of bad guys...

I'm looking for a certain show within the Gundam franchise, and wading through the trope pages, calendars, and wikis is only getting me more and more confused.
This one aired on Cartoon Network, late nineties to early 2000s. I remember that of the main cast they had one character, the token kid, who spent half the season writing home to his girlfriend before she broke up with him because it was a long-distance relationship. Another was an older guy, and an early plotline revolved around how on every third mission he had with his team, everybody but him died. There was one guy on the team who didn't want to be fighting (and for some reason could not file Conscientious Technical Pacifist), spent a fair amount of time Wangsting about that, and then eventually got over it. This one also featured some Guerrilla fighters, and I swear this show was the first place I heard that term. The character I remember from them most was this redhead teenage chick who got a few scenes of Digital Bikini (actually green instead of black, and made hilarious by the fact that she immediately began beating the main character for peeping at her while she was bathing—oh, Cartoon Network...). One of my main problems is that I can't differentiate exactly which of the heroes was in that series.
So far I can say that it is not Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, SD Gundam Force, or any show within the Robotech or Macross franchises.

This was a gundam show that was on either Adult Swim or Toonami that had this one episode where they where I believe trying to escape this dessert bunker and i vaguely remember someone betraying them and that they where some sort of resistance force but this was a very long time ago so my memory is very sketchy about it but I remember seeing this one episode and loving it but never seeing it ever again.

I'm looking for an anime that was released in about mid-1990's to early 2000's. The protagonists were high school students that band together and fight their enemies using some kind of magical power. I remember one of the male cast, the main character, I presume, wielded a wooden sword, and another one made protective shield-things whenever she plays the piano.

This one is a much older one, but it's been driving me nuts.
My mum actually watched anime as a child, the most likely range could be 1966-1969 (new, confirmed dates below), as she said she watched it with Speed Racer. She said it was an anime about Japanese or American (maybe both) fairytales, and she remembers it was beautifully drawn, with large eyes, a fact she pointed out when we first watched Sailormoon when it first aired (she keeps pointing it out whenever we watch anime, sometimes she gets interested.).
Anime is our most likely choice, by the description and content, and it was definitely localized, and I know the odds are slim, but if I never ask this, then I'll never know if I can get that elusive answer of what was it?

Forgot I already posted this. Here's the newer post, for better detail:
This could be either anime or western animation. It's more a search for my mum; she remembers watching it growing up.
It was a series of cartoons, possibly Japanese or Asian in origin, since she has always said that Sailormoon reminded her of it. Done in watercolor and ink styles with large eyes.
They were based on fairytales and folklore, but she doesn't remember which stories or the title of the series by now.
Would have aired in the States between 1962-64. Not so sure the station.

When I was about 13, I got really into anime and there was a website where I would download various video clips from various shows. Most of the time they were openings, endings, or songs that would have been in other episodes. In order to look for a certain title, you would have to click on the letter that the show would start with. (So, for an example, if you were looking for Dragon Ball, you would click on the D section.)
I never watched the show so I have no idea what it's about, except that I found it in the C section. I distinctly remember the description saying it was from one of the first episode, or one of the first episodes. But it was about a rock star? She was blonde and her name was something like Reika. In the beginning of the clip she was talking with someone behind stage telling them she was nervous, and they essentially said that she would do fine. When she gets on stage she knocks 'em dead, of course. The stage effects were kind of done in a more CGI style- I seem to remember a pink background with yellow smoke. I wish I could remember the song because I know it was catchy, and that's all I can tell you.
Also, if anyone remembers the site too, I may try to go back to it for the lulz. The layout was green and white, and since this was about 2002 all the files were in Real Player. They took forever to download, (often about 3-4 hours) and half the time they wouldn't even work.

okay I know I'm risking sounding stupid but I have to ask it's killing me! I remember watching an anime movie a LONG time ago with a woman as the main character whose kiss was poisonous. I can't remember why, anyway a man falls in love with her and for some reason her kiss doesn't kill him. I feel like the animation reminds me of vampire hunter d but I've only been able to find one of those movies and it wasn't it. Is there any way you can help me figure it out?

Around 2001 I caught part of a fansubbed episode or movie that my roommate was watching. It was probably no older than 1998 and had a high school (or possibly junior high) setting. The plot dealt with a group of girls who were called "the Butterflies" because the founder of their club/group/whatever wore a multicolored jacket, and when she rode her bike it would ripple in the wind, making her look like a butterfly.

I remember watching this is the early 2000's but I cannot remember the name or if it was indeed from that time period. It was about two female police officers.
I distinctly remember an episode where a male police officer plays beach volleyball and starts getting incredibly hot and another where they had a new machine at the station where it would issue you food vouchers based on what it calculated should be your food intake and one of the main characters was less than pleased with this.

It was a show about seven (?) Absurdly Human Robots. I don't remember much, but I do know one of them had red (?) hair and a really long nose, and on one episode he was making a meal and screamed something along the lines of "ARGH! Who makes a cyborg that can get hungry?!" I also remember another episode where they were going through a castle, and the castle kept changing shape, and there was some game of chess involved. I can't remember anything else.

A group of gifted friends, flew around a lot, either with capes or in their own private mini jets? Two of the characters were called Mark and Princess. Screened on tv in the eighties. I seem to remember they could also transform into a bird at a whim, like a falcon or whatever.

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?

Hey guys. Trying to find a Sailor Moon fic that I remember from way back, can't really remember much about it except its about Jadeite doing a Heel–Face Turn and joining the Senshi, except it goes a bit wrong and he ends up as a Senshi. Bit vague I know, but if anyone knows the fic, can you PM me (or reply here, y'know).

What is the anime seen at 0:19-23, 0:48-54 and 2:37-41?

Well, I think it was an anime, but I'm not totally sure. This is gonna be kind of vague, but. . . I remember a scene where someone talks about being able to recognize women by the curve of their hips. That's all I remember. I just want to know what that came from.
