resolved Anime about fairies. Anime
What I remember of this one is that it was an anime about this small chibi fairies that helped human kids on their problems (it was not FOP). The male fairy had what looked like a blue pajama and his hat looked like Kirby's Bomb hat in the old games and the female fairy had pink hair.
Update: Solved as well. Answer was Mirumo de Pon.
Edited by megagutsmanopenJapanese game/manga with nun as a tank crew member Anime
This one is really blurry. I only remember a few prom arts. They were featuring a tank set in a fantasy universe and one of the crew members was a nun. The visual style kind of resembled both Fullmetal Alchemist and Chrono Crusade
The thing is quite old. I remember seeing it somewhere around early '2000s.

Edited by MojinopenAncient Japan Childhood Friends Romance Anime
I remember that it was something about a girl who was in love with her protector, a boy who was her childhood friend during Ancient Japan (don't remember the period, sorry). Then her brother tried to something bad (? i think it was an assassination attempt on her) and she and the boy had to run away together
openI wanna find a show that's been bugging me for years... Anime
So, years ago, I was getting into this cartoon (maybe anime), but it suddenly dropped off the face of the earth. It was definitely on TV (AUS WA TV, don't know the channel or year).
I also have no clue about the title of the show, but I do remember some key intel on the show. The story was based around the stone age, the village was a cliffside surrounding a big tree with caves in the cliffside where our characters lived. The MC (main character) is a boy, bravery is his best trait. His father is known around the village to be the most cowardly person there and the MC gets a lot of hate because of that. There's also a young girl who's the same age as the MC. I believe she may have short purple hair, but I could be remembering wrong, I just know that she's drawn cute with a bit of tomboy attitude mixed in. She is the daughter of the chief of this village and has a good reputation with everyone. She sees the MC for how he really is and had a small crush on him. I believe the MC boy is oblivious of this but is envious of how much respect the girl gets.
There are a fair few other characters, like the bully/hunter boy who I think was rescued by the MC in one of the episodes. Bit cliché, so I don't know if that would help. And the chief who I believe is big on hygiene. I believe I remember him saying something like "I smell nice because I wash my clothes in CLEAN water." Don't know if that helps either haha.
This Cartoon or Anime has to be decades old now, and my memory of it may be corrupted being so long ago. So some of some details may be off. I don't trust my memory of how the girl looks. Just her relation to the MC and being the daughter of the chief. So take my words with a grain of salt. This is why it's so hard for me to look it up. I don't know if the show was canceled or taken off TV at the time. I was just never able to catch it ever again.
I really hope this rings a bell with someone. Then I can finally put my thoughts to rest.
openComedic manga Anime
Looking for a manga about a deliquent-looking boy interacting with a short, long-haired girl.
Notable things I remember:
The girl is very good at crane games and gives her prizes to the boy which he uses to surround his bed so they watch him while they sleep. Later he adds a life-sized statue of the girl to the watchers.
The girl has a female friend who's huge but very timid so she always hides just out of sight.
The girl has an elementary school brother who looks exactly like her.
The boy always thinks the girl is doing something outlandish when she's actually doing something normal. The one time he turned out to be right she actually was participating in a big beyblade tournament.
openManga with a fake resurrector Anime
A manga where the heroes run into a girl with the power to raise the dead. Except she's actually using telekinesis and ventriloquism to fake the dead people moving around.
There was a moment (I think, or it might have been a different manga) where the girl tries to stab the heroine as she sleeps, but the heroine keeps shifting at just the right moment, and dreams of food so she ends up glomping and drooling over the evil girl's breasts.
Ring any bells?
openAnime with a princess shooting a man point-blank after kissing him. Anime
Asking for my brother actually, in his words, here's what he remembers.
"I watched this anime in the late 1990s or early 2000s, but the anime itself may be older than that. Two countries are at war with each other in a fantasy-like setting. Their equipment is a level with tanks and firearms. A woman, who is possibly a princess of one of the countries, ends up in a beautiful cave with a man. They hug and kiss. A gunshot is heard. The man steps away, and we see that the woman has shot him at point-blank range. The man is shocked and falls dead. The woman then shoots herself. Her body falls from a cliff into the lake."
Any help is appreciated.
Edited by Shirokurouresolved [Solved] anime-esque show about talking fishes Anime
I'm not really sure if it is an anime, but it did air in Hero TV, a channel from the Philippines that primarily aired Filipino dub anime and cartoons, and the show had an anime-esque feel to it. The main character of the show is a goldfish, his best friend is a green turtle, no flippers the normal cartoony look of turtles, and two other characters, a pink jellyfish girl, and a blue seahorse, he had arms and one episode involved him under the command of the bad guys, one of which was an evil sea dragon, and that in a park there were fish statues that turned to live fish, one of which was the jellyfish girl, and were ordered to spit out gold that they accumulated from the day when the park had visitors. Not sure how it ended, but the seahorse and jellyfish joined the goldfish and turtle, becoming friends.
One of the main plot lines that I remembered was that the four had to collect these scales to defeat the evil sea dragon, which I remember another episode where the dragon tricked the four into fighting each other by asking (while disguised) who was the best out of them. I think the title of the show involved the word "bubble", but I could have mistaken that the song is the one with "bubble" in the title.
Edited by AnimaltameropenAn slice of life about a girl oriented camp group Anime
The thing I more clearly remember is this 1 scene
2 girls are walking while it's raining and they go inside some tunnel, then, when they see a shadow and hear noise from it. The girl got scare and think it's a monster, but it reveals that it's actually one of the few male characters, he said that he's not a monster and he told them that we should go back.
One I remember seeing it in the 2000s and most of the characters are girls

Romance anime with lots of reverse piggyback / reverse princess carry
I want an anime with the female character carrying the male character in a romantic way. I want the female character to be physically strong and smart and the male character to be kind, naive and fluffy. It's best if it's a lighthearted comedy romance, but any genre is ok. I've seen Witch Craft Works, GSNK, and Akame ga kill, Magi
openWhat show is this? Anime
Iirc, this was a high-school romance anime. I believe it had a significant focus on growing up and the future, etc. The only scene I can remember clearly is between MC (M) and his love interest (F), and takes place near/at a railroad crossing. The two are talking about the future (I think LI is planning to travel for efucation) and MC realizes that he's not capable enough to be with LI in the future. He says something to the effect of "I can't go to where you're going (or where you are)", and talks about his flaws. And I believe the crossing bars come down between them during this, signifying the obstacle separating them that he cannot overcome. LI responds with (Then I will come/go to where you are." After this my memory gets hazier. MC tries to explain that she can't give up on her happiness just for him, and she says MC is her happiness.
It's just gnawing at me at this point, cause I can see like 2 minutes of the show so clearly in my head, but everything else is sketchy. Any help would be massively appreciated.
openManga where boy has multiple girls fall in love with him (NOT ROSARIO VAMPIRE) Anime
I was reading a manga a while back about a kid who unlocked some "secret ultimate power", which caused all of the bad girls in the school to fall in love with him. I want to say it was something like Rakujou or something, but I can't remember. There was a short girl who led the school mafia, the big busty girl with a sword, a girl who was part of a triplet set, and a girl who was a loan shark.
Anyone know what this was?
openAnime u think it was anthologic terror Anime

Thats all i remeber, i hope some one knows somerging about it.

openLooking for the origin of a gif Anime
So, there's this gif I really like on tenor that is someone apparently sitting on a car and we see only this person's hands holding a revolver with its chamber open, then the person fill the chamber with those fast reloaders and closes it.
I don't have any idea where this is from, already searched it in some ways and found none.
Here's the link if you want to check it out and if you know the source I WOULD REAAAAALLY APRECIATE IT.

open[SOLVED] Animated "movie" made of clips from other movies Anime
It most likely had anime clips in it, in fact, it might even have been entirely comprised of clips from anime. And it had this ridiculous title which probably contained the word "Space".
Edited by BeTheFire

I remember seeing a clip of an anime a while back, maybe a year or two ago? Where a man catches a woman who looks like some one of Angel creature, but I don’t know if she was actually an Angel, I just remember she had feathers.
Anyway, he catches her and brings her back to his wife and daughter who are living in a cave. He tells them to eat her to survive. So when they all eat her the wife and child suddenly start having feathers burst out of their faces and they die. I don’t think the father died but he was horrified.
This was the only clip I saw. The designs weren’t exactly notable enough for me to explain.
Please help me find it!
