Hi! Back in the late 1990's / early 2000's, I used to watch Cardcaptor Sakura and another anime that I can't find. It was about a little girl (black hair, pigtails, pinkish clothes?) who went to school and had a friend (guy, brown hair, greenish clothes?) she used to hang out with. She liked him a lot, but she was too shy/afraid to tell him (besides, I think he was older than her). I vaguely remember swings, jumping ropes and sunsets. During the ending song/credits, she was by the window, thinking, some soap bubbles around her reflected her memories? and the last thing we saw was the class picture, where the two friends were looking at each other, although they were apart.

Inversion:
Has anyone else read the manga "Dance Till Tomorrow"? I always figured I'd find it here but I guess not. Anyway I'm trying to build a page from the ground up and I've found out its a lot harder than it looks reading through the site. I know there's a place for shows that are coming out, and the YKKTW for tropes, but I'm trying to find a place where I can put out The Call to anyone who's read this to help with the tropes.

I remember in 7th grade our art teacher showed us a VHS compilation of old Japanese animated films. Osamu Tezuka's "Jumping" was on there, among other things. One of them was a short animation about the Hiroshima bombing. At first I thought it might have been the atomic bomb scene from Barefoot Gen, but that wasn't it, although it was very similar. I tried searching on amazon.com for said VHS but to no avail.

This new anime I watched at a convention but can't remember the name... It was about a girl who goes to a boarding school and she and her brother are vampires, but it wasn't vampire knight. There was a scene where her brother was playing some kind of board game with another guy, where they pulled cards and had to do whatever the card said no matter what. The nonvampire guy's card said "the player must accept what happens next." Then the vampire chick's brother pulled one that said he had to stab his hand with a sword, so he stabbed his hand and showed the other guy that he could heal.

Anime that was playing on the ImaginAsian (ia) channel one day and now I for the life of me can't find it again.
The characters fight with magic-fighting. I think the characters got their powers from tattoos or from a seal that glowed on their bodies...I only saw one scene, where there was a girl (late teen-early twenties), extremely exhausted and weakened, fighting against this rather obviously-evil woman...exhausted and worn out, the girl drags herself over to stand in front of the woman and barely touches her fist to the woman's stomach. The woman says something like "Hah! You call that a punch?" and then the girl releases her power. (Note that this is the English dub.)
The opening looked interesting so I'm just curious what it is.

Probably a comedy, most likely after 2000. The scene I recall is a spoof of the first episode of Onegai Teacher when Kazami first enters the class she is teaching. However in this anime the teacher, instead of staring shyly, flips out and throws a desk at the students that tried to joke with her.

I'm pretty sure this is an anime of some sort, it was a short film I think, and all I remember was that the hero had to go into a tower where an evil shadow lived and that if the shadow attacked the hero's shadow it hurt the hero. That's all I remember, seeing Princess and the Frog recently reminded me of it.
I think it also came on a Dvd collection with an animated version of The Dancing Shoes and some story about a girl who goes into a goblin's castle to rescue a prince who was turned into an owl but while there she cannot say a word or she'll drop dead (wouldn't mind knowing what that one was either).

There's this anime about a teenage boy who's relative (sister or aunt maybe?) is either sick or simple abandons her little girl (preschool age) and the boy is such a good guy that he basically raises her. it's super cute and the little girl chants "onigiri" in the sing-song voice.

I saw what I'm pretty sure was a film on the Sci-Fi channel's Saturday Anime in about 1998. It looked sort of 80's style, and involved a girl with long blond hair being put into some sort of tube thing and sent out into space/waking up in some sort of tube. She may have been from the past/a destroyed planet/etc etc. There were also bald, green-skinned (though otherwise humanoid) aliens involved, whom I think may have found her.

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
