resolved Witch makes guy pull of panties scene? Anime
I haven't the first idea which anime it could ve, because I saw this long ago on Youtube.
What happened was that a guy and a girl were in some bedroom, discussing something. Then he couldn't control his body and stumbled about, before falling around and, somehow, grabbed her panties. Even though she had a skirt on, and then he sort of fell, pulling off her panties and seeing up her skirt.
He got a nosebleed, needless to say. I kinda remember there being a noise like a party horn, just a funny detail.
After that, the exposed girl quickly stepped off, and then she noticed another girl through her window. A witch with a voodoo doll, the one who had been controlling the guy. I dunno if she was out to steal underwear for something or just fooling around. There might've been a third person in the room with them. And I remember her visible crotch was obscured by a ray of light or such.
Can someone please help me, cause I just can't find it. Going crazy here. 🥲
Edited by Pepsilovin-pikaopenPlease help me remember the anime! Anime
Hi. I once watched some anime (or was it cartoons very similar to anime) on TV when I was a kid. I don't remember much about them because it's been over twenty years, but certain snippets are still in my memory. I think they belonged to three different anime, but I'm not sure about that. So:
1) In the first anime, the antagonists were strange creatures that looked a lot like stereotypical gangsters from old noir movies - they wore wide-brimmed hats, gray coats, and smoked thick, long cigars. In fact, cigars were the lifeblood of these creatures - they were made of smoke, and if one of them lost a cigar, it would slowly melt away. I remember how the boss of these creatures took away one of them his cigarette as punishment for failure and did not return it until only his head was left - and only then returned the cigar, giving him one last chance to correct the mistake.
2) The second anime was made in the collectible card game genre. There, traditional 2D animation of human characters was combined with primitive 3D card monsters that players summoned for duels from otherworldly realities. The rules of this game are what I remember best - it categorized all creatures into six types: Fire; Water; Earth; Earth; Sky; Light; and Darkness.
One story arc involved the protagonist and his friends traveling the world, visiting the six elemental realms and saving them from being enslaved by villains. At the end, the antagonist managed to temporarily achieve his goals and he set almost all the monsters on the human world, but the heroes (naturally) ruined his plans at the last moment.
I also remembered one character well - he was..... weird. He was a baby or a midget with the body of a baby - he had a low male voice, wore black sunglasses and pajamas in the shape of bears, and moved around in a stroller. He also had almost exclusively creatures of the Water Realm in his deck, for which he was teased by other characters.
3) I remember the third anime vaguely. In general - the heroine worked as a nurse in a hospital with a very strict boss. She even scolded her for wearing her hat backwards. And one day the heroine was pranked by patients - they heated thermometers with boiling water to simulate a terrible fever.
openboy backing up while girl chases him Anime
Alright, so yesterday on Twitter, I saw a GIF of a really light purple/white-haired girl walking after a boy who was backing up. (I don't remember exactly, but I think the girl would approach, the boy would back up, the girl would stop, and they would repeat the cycle.) The feed refreshed before I could like it. The animation looked newer.
resolved Music anime I watched with my cousin several years ago Anime
So this is about to be the vaguest description ever but bear with me:
I swear it was a band anime of some kind, with the main love interests playing guitar and piano respectively.
The guitar guy was introverted and the piano girl helped him come out of his shell. There was one scene where the guy wrote a song for the girl and played it over the school intercom so she would hear it.
I also explicitly remember a scene where the girl tried to [play her instrument/write a song/something related to music] only to stop because of nervousness or something and say "nani?" I remember the nani part VIVIDLY but I can barely remember context.
resolved What anime does this image come from? Anime
A friend of mine sent me this image, and neither of us know what it's from. To be clear, I can tell that it's a variation of the "I'm Not Calling You a Good Boy
" meme, but based on how the character dresses, I believe it's from an anime/manga. They found it on Twitter if that helps.
openold kids anime about robots Anime
i think this anime is from early 2000s. it's an action fighting anime for kids with robots. but instead of controlling them from inside, the human characters simply issue them commands and directions, and the robots will comply. so the main theme is the relationship between the main character and his robots.
openOld anime with playing card-themed opening Anime
Lately, I'm thinking about the opening to an old anime series that I've seen back in the early 90s. The anime itself might be from the 70s if not even the 60s, and the opening had a march-like theme song and animation that included some kind of playing card motif. Anyone remembers what it might be? I'm not sure whether the song was the original one or the Italian version.
openAn anime about a girl with spirit friends. Anime
I went to a convention where they were doing guessing game with clips from diferent anime, some were identified and others I recognised. One that made me curious but was not identified was a clip from anime that looked like it was from the 2000s, the clip had a desatured style and featured a girl trying to ask for the help of an old man working at a store while a group of ghostly spirits with more exagerated designs that only she can see or hear, scream at hear for being introverted. I tried to search for it but I could not find it.
openA really weird anime with a fan service moment involving a giant bird. Anime
I'm fully expecting this to be some random crappy OVA no one remembers but the first "real" fan-serivce moment in anime I stumbled onto long ago was from some fantasy OVA or series.
A woman (I presume the villain) got picked up by a giant bird which tried to "eat" her (which just resulted in stripping her with it's beak) before the heroes saved her.
It popped into my head again and I'm curious what the hell it even was.

openKnockoff of a Disney movie, anime style?? Anime
Hi! So, one day I decided to take a nap and fall asleep to a movie. I remember scrolling through either tubi or freevee or some free streaming service and found a knockoff of a Disney movie. It was either Sleeping Beauty or Beauty and the Beast or something. I mostly didn't focus on it but something about it caught my attention.
The movie started off with someone walking through a marketplace and buying fruit (maybe apples?) from a dragon, or some kind of non-human creature, at a fruit stand. The creature was kind and sounded like an old woman and I think the man buying from her was the prince of the story. I remember being surprised that the story started off this way instead of starting with the princess. It was also in a sort of anime style and I'm guessing it was made in the 90's. Very much had the feel of a Golden Films/Jetlag Good Times film.
I've been going crazy looking for it! I wish I remembered which exact fairytale it was. I hope someone can help me!!
openRapper guys bother a girl on a pier Anime
I saw a scene where three guys dressed like rappers (one of them even is rapping) walk onto a pier where a schoolgirl is standing. She tries to get away but the guys deliberately block her path.
resolved looking for manga Anime
The manga was definitely created after 2015. It is about a bunch of artificial humans, one of which decides to protect the male mc from the others in exchange for him letting her eat him after his 18thteent birthday
openThat one mon series Anime
A long time ago(around 2014-2016) I watched a Chinese dub of a mon anime(or maybe it was just a Chinese animation that had mons?). I only watched a couple of episodes. Here is what I remember:
- The mons are stored in cards(I think) and also seemed to have a separate dimension from humans
- The mons could talk to the main characters.
- At one point, a large mon died(or maybe survived somehow, I only watched a few episodes so I don't know if they were Killed Off for Real) while protecting the main characters
- I think in the beginning of a season(or maybe I'm misremembering which episode it was because I didn't pay attention to episode lists), the main characters have to travel to another dimension/world to reunite with their mons who seem to have voluntarily be in that dimension
- The blue mon seemed to be on bad terms with their partner human
- I got the impression that the main characters had one mon each
- The mons that were partnered with the protagonist had simple/cute designs
openAPP Manga about people transforming into animalistic monsters Anime
Does anyone know about this manga where people who were struck and wake up where there is nothing but flora and no fauna. When triggered, people transform into animalistic creatures. Some become herbivores while others turn into carnivores creatures that would pray on the herbivores in a quesi-cannibalism while there were some who resisted the urge despite their growing hunger. Does this sound familiar?
openIsekae variant works Anime
I'm looking for two "Reincarnate in Another World/Trapped in Another World" stories:
- The focal character is just a normal person who's lived in that world the entire time, while the "Isekai'd" person is a completely different person.
- An inverse of the usual format where someone from a fantasy world winds up in a modern one.note Before anyone mentions it, I know about Gate, but that's not what I'm looking for because most of the plot is basically "the usual format" writ large; with a literal army - and all that entails - being brought to the fantasy world.

There is a scene of a girl naked in bed and is joined by another girl disrobes with her silhouette visible through the curtains of the bed. When the second girl tries to be more intimate with the first, who is reluctant to do so. Then, they are suddenly ambushed by an assassin and the first girl defends herself and the second, causing the sheets covering them to fly off, but not showing anything really graphic to my recollection.
