openlooking for an anime, will pay $3 Anime
Alright, so, I used to watch this anime when I was a kid so frankly I don't remember all that much but I'll do my best. Basically, there was this girl, (lets call her Sarah) and she had this little... person. So there was this really tiny person or person-like magical Thing, small like a fairy but without wings or anything just looked like a person. And only she could see this tiny pocket-person/pixie/thing and it would just kind of stick around with her mentor-mascot style. And these little pocket-people really loved chocolate so she was always giving him chocolate. Oh, and her parents couldn't see it or basically anybody that didn't have their own little pocket companion couldn't see them at all. But there WERE other people that had them, not everyone only a few that she would sometimes run into. And her crush was one of these people and his pocket-person was a female and had a crush on Sarah's pocket-person and also would grow facial hair when she was stressed. I just know that for sure that it aired in Mexico in the 2000's (in Cartoon Network I'm pretty sure!). I've tried looking for it myself before but I haven't found any indication that it was real and I didn't just fever-dream it, even though I'm SURE it was a real anime. It's been bugging me for years. I'm desperate I'll literally paypal $3 to the first person who can find it for me
openMr something Anime
I think it was a series but I only remember one episode specifically. There was a little homeless looking man and he had this large cat friend. Somehow the guy gets trapped inside of a mirror. He falls in love with a girl across the alley and tries to use a tightrope to get to her but the mirror falls off the rope and smashes into pieces. His name is mr. something but I can’t remember what it is!? Please help it’s driving me insane.

Duelists can take access to using a monster by taking an photo of it by using a red device equiped with a camera and they can do the same the fields. They can also trade monsters and fields however they want. I remember that the protagonists main monster was a fire monster

I was looking for a manga I read once. It was a medieval setting, about a girl who learns she can use magic by copying the magic circles that a wizard left in her mother's house. She accidentally sets the house on fire and is saved by the wizard, who reveals to her that magic can be used by anyone with access to the magic circles, and takes her under his wing and to his tower where he will train her.
openLooking for a cartoon from the 80’s Anime
I’m not sure if this is where I a ask my question. I’m new here and only created an acct to ask for help. I was told if anyone could find this particular cartoon it would be you guys. Anyway here goes. I’m looking for a specific episode of a cartoon that I don’t know the name of or really have a lot of details to. It it holds great sentimental value to me. It was an episode my father and I watched when I was like 6. So from what I remember, there was a rich man, with like a lot of luggage, or items and there was like a servant or bellboy , something along those lines. And he may or may not have been a cat. So the rich guy would ask the servant to do something and the servant would always respond “ lemme hold your wallet” that part I’m very sure of and that is the part that most sticks out in my mind. Not much to go on I know. It would’ve been in the mid to late 80’s that I saw this cartoon. Any help would be greatly appreciated! This was in the USA btw. More specifically Illinois
Edited by HomelessbearopenHelp I can't remeber what cartoon or movie this is Anime
Looking for an old anime cartoon series or movie. I can't remember much. I have a memory where there is a little girl and she's walking or running away from someone and there is these huge grey stones that are all marching the same way in one direction. That's all I remember. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
openI’ve been trying to figure this out for 20 years! Anime
I used to watch an anime show when I was a kid, and I can’t remember what it was. I can only remember a few bits of one episode:
It’s an anime kids show in the late 80s early 90s featuring a young boy, potentially with a car as his side kick He thinks he’s being stalked by a shark while fishing, but it turns out the shark just has a fish hook stuck in his mouth and is asking for him to remove it. I remember there was a really cute octopus in this episode too.
I initially thought it was an episode of “bumpety boo” but I can’t find an episode like the one I remember.

Edited by 123MannCoBoxopen2017 anime Anime
Okay, now I realize the importance of bookmarking.
At the time I found the show, it was only a few episodes in but when I want to look for it again I forgot the title. The last episode that I saw before I left it to finish has a scene where a girl is getting bullied then the bullied girl proceeds to troll the bullies by acting like a cat and scaring the crap out of them. Ideas?
The faces they make sometimes can be quite distinctive, as well
Edited by XelixionopenAnime on DVD from Childhood Anime
So I remember this one show I watched dubbed in Chinese on DVD when I was like four years old—it was about this girl and boy and the girl could do magic by drawing big magic circles on the ground? And at one point they found a magic circle she could use at the bottom of a teapot, and then at another point she had to play a flute standing on the roof at the highest point of a tower in the middle of the mountains I think? I watched this like a good sixteen years ago at least probably and for the life of me I can't recall the name. Anyone got any ideas?
openUnknown cartoon Anime
Im trying to remember what cartoon this was when I was a kid. I watched this show on tv growing up and it was with this agent (i think) and there was a "bad guy" who was after him. When certian scernios happened where he was in trouble he would have a quick vision of what he needed to do to either dodge or do acrobats to escape death. One episode had him on a ski lift going up and somehow an avalanche happened. He had a vision to grab the cable, swing through the ski lift doors, grab the snowboard, and snowboard down the hill to escape the avolanche. Does somebody remember this show?
openUnknown Anime(?) Anime
I remember, as a kid in the UK in the early 2000s, specifically 2007-2010, Popgirl would show anime dubs but I have a particular memory of a CGI anime (or, at least, I think it was an anime). It involved magical girls, 3 of them specifically, and I think it would go between 2D and 3D but I'm not too sure on that one. I remember the show had at least one desert-like area and the girls rode on motorcycles or something like that. I also think the three girls in the show wore green, blue and red/pink but I'm not too sure on that one. Again, I'm pretty sure this aired on Popgirl. Does anyone remember if this anime was real and what it was called?
Edited by Shine101openLooking for old hentai help Anime
Hi. This one is more of an hentai than anime tbh. I don't remember much but it was about a girl who was sick and dying and in hospital. Something wrong with her internal organs I think. She knew she didn't have much time left so she asked this guy to have sex with her one last time so she could forget about her injuries and pain and make her last time pleasureable. Beatiful in my opinion. So they had sex for quite a while and when he came he pulled out (maybe so the doctor wouldn't notice anything idk) and then they came together. I remember she arched her back so you could see her stomach and breast but not her face when she came. Technically she prob came first and then he came and ejaculated on her, but their orgasms seemed pretty synced. She thanked and kissed him and the next day she died. Even the nurses cried. That's all I remember about the anime. It was a bit old. Not really like todays anime. I THINK the animation can be compared to that in the anime Dai Akukji or something. Anyway, old animation. The characters were pretty typical. The girl was a slim beauty, but not ridiculously sexy like todays anime girls. Her sickness did not show outwardly and she had long dark hair, prob black. The guy, he was her age, adult and serious. His hair, also dark and, I think it was, spiky. I also think he had this little goatee. Dark voice. Can't remember any names. Oh and I think most of the nurses cried but one of them had short blonde hair and her eyes were huge and watery and she looked a bit younger than the other nurses. I think she was a minor character but I remember her anyways. That's all I remember. I really want to see it again pls help.
Edited by Pepsilovin-pikaopenAuthor Hangs out with a bunch of Youkai? Anime
I've only seen two episodes of this Anime and I can never seem to remember what the title is. I always get it mixed up with a much darker series because the two aired one after the other . The premise involved an author that travels with a host of monsters and Youkai. He is trying to write a thousand stories or something of that nature. In the second episode I saw, they go into someone's backstory and it turns out she was murdered by a man with a distinctive mole on his forehead and presumably has returned as a spirit to get revenge. I had to leave at the time so I shut the television off right at climax. I caught the ending though. The author talks to someone that witnessed the murder. She was a creepy looking old lady without many conventional face features but I don't know whether she was human or just another monster.
openChildhood show Anime
It was a show about a group of people that went to live in space in a dome structure with houses and street inside. The one family, probably the main characters, had a grandmother who's abs was to strong for her to have a baby and had to make her baby in a test tube in a episode. And there was always this character named Guy who did random work everywhere, but no one actually knew him or what he actually does. There was also these fluidly-like aliens in the one episode that reproduced through cloning. Can anyone help me with the name of this show? P.S. I'm not sure but I think the whole living in space was a secret military experiment that no one knew about.

I am looking for anime cartoon of early 90s about a boy called Turbo who could travel trough the space (i guess). He was in love with 3 sexy sisters-trines (not all together, but one by one coz they were killed one after each-other). The second sister was stabbed with a knife in her belly. The third came to him naked on a white horse.. This is all i remember... Looking for it 20 years...
