openTV Cartoon Unknown Anime
So sorry, I am new to TV Tropes and added this question to the wrong location originally. This is my original post: Since watching Marvel Avengers Infinity Wars I thought of a cartoon I watched that reminds me a bit of the infinity stones. This cartoon probably aired on tv some time in the 90's or early 2000's. Please note I ask you to expand that time period just incase to 1980-2015. This cartoon is a hero vs villain but I only remember the villain. This villain was raised to believe he would rule the world by gathering these stones throughout the world. He wore a metal suit & could appear & disappear at will. He gathers these stones but there is a hero that tries to stop him. The fear is that he will obtain all of the stones, each one giving him different powers. I wished could tell you more about the hero but I cant remember his powers. The hero did have friends that would try to help as well. Seems the first stone was located in a cave where the hero & villain meet.
Jormis 29 responded You should ask this sort of thin in You Know That Show but you might want to look at the adaptaion of The 99 or Power Stone
This is when I realized I had not posted my question to the correct location and my post was locked, again sorry! I also wanted to add a couple of notes that I did not mention above, that this was a cartoon that aired in the U.S. but neither of Jormis 29 are correct( The 99 or Power Stone). (Thank you for helping me understand where to post).
The villain wore what I believe to be a metal suit & I also believe that metal suit allowed him to transport himself to different locations. He was raised since birth to believe he would rule (it was his destiny) the Earth after gathering the stones. The villain does not think what he is doing is wrong since he believes his actions are justified due to his destiny. Each stone gives different powers and makes him very difficult to defeat. I wished I could remember more about the hero and the powers he has….
Thank you for any suggestions!
openMagical Girl Anime Anime
I remember watching a few episodes of this magical girl anime years ago. In this series the girls get powers from these tiny spirit things (like in Amazing Ladybug) that are representations of their hearts. The main character is special somehow and gets three of them (red, blue, and green iirc) instead of just one. I think everyone has one and only some people can tap into that power. The villains are breaking/stealing people's hearts which leaves the victims devoid of emotion. I remember a lot of the show being in a school setting. That might just be the early episodes though.
open90s cartoon or anime with robot flying thru space Anime
So there is old 90s cartoon with robot flying thru space, like superman style, with "bus" attached to his feet's. The robot is actually spaceship, and the long "bus" its a rest of it, full of children i think...so whet it come to battle, a spaceship separate its self from the "bus" thing, and transform in to a robot... I was 7 back then, I don't remember to much...
openA about manga ghost girl only seen by one guy. Anime
It have a page on the site, but as I don't know the name, the only place I found a link for it was a page which had a rather long anime manga section and I'm pretty sure that part of it was about japanese censorship. If I remember correctly it has about three albums. It's comedic. The main characters are the guy, the ghost girl who don't remember her name (Who in one of the albums thinks she was a pyromaniac when she died, but it was false.), The guys sister (who catches him in emberrasing situations with the ghost girl), a rich girl who calls the her pet (thanks to a love letter in the past which might have been in a wrong locker.), and a girl with occult interest who got a glass that according to her shows ghosts, while in reality is an x-rax glass.
openAnything but lucky star Anime
Does anyone know an anime where the character kinda looks like someone from lucky star but has a crush on a boy with glasses? Theres this girl who is like a cat. I also remember the glasses kid spinning a pen.
openHilariously Bad Old Anime I Saw At A Convention Panel... Anime
I was at the panel "Bad Anime, Bad!" at Animenext this year, back in June, and there was one anime that really stuck out, but I can't remember the name of it at all. It was definitely from the 80's, possibly even 70's, and it was a movie or OVA and was dubbed into English. It was about humans fighting off alien invaders.
What I remember was a recurring phoenix that would show up in the sky, a guy in a spaceship breaking a window IN SPACE and then shooting another ship with a gun through said broken window in the middle of space like it was nothing, and at the end they refer to the alien invasion as an "illegal immigrant problem".
Does anyone know which anime I'm talking about? Maybe someone who went to the same panel with a better memory than me?
edit: Found it a year later, it's Defenders of Space in case you're curious.
Edited by ninjamitsuki2openPokemon Film Trailers Anime
Does anyone have Youtube links to these trailers?
From Missing Trailer Scene:
- A trailer for Pokémon: Destiny Deoxys depicted a space battle between Deoxys and Ash riding on the back of Rayquaza, which was nowhere to be seen in the final cut.
- Some of the trailers for Pokémon: Lucario and the Mystery of Mew show Kid's van being caught in the middle of a geyser field, Lucario dodging falling rocks, Lucario apparently dead, and various other scenes cut from the final film.
I'm interested in the Rayquaza and dead Lucario trailers the most. I can't find any evidence of them.
Edited by Pichu-kunopenWired space anime? Anime
I remember watching this wired anime it was about a kid that went to space and he met a few girls and Be came a captain of a ship and the girls the crew of it? I think that was the second season though, I can’t remember much of it. I do remember it was a funimation anime.
open[FOUND] Anime/Korean Cartoon about Toy Mons Anime
Edit: Found it, it is called Uniminipet. I remember the title was either in korean or japanese, it was about a boy with a pendant who met with a blue cat toy. He would find and deactivate toy mons that wreak havoc in the town and store them in a storage or toy shop.
The supporting cast was:
- A professor who gave the boy binoculars that identify toys
- A girl that also has a pendant and unknowingly keeps the antagonist toy in her house
The toys I remember:
- The blue cat that could 'evolve' and transform into a stronger form, he also feared snakes.
- A feminine orb-like toy that is infatuated with the boy
- A toy that somewhat resembles Kingler
- The evil toy that looks like a ball with 3 legs and an antenna
I also remember that at some point they had to go to another world, presumably the toy world. There could be an episode where they visited an abandoned house. Either the opening or the ending had the boy and his toys on a hot air balloon floating over a flower field. This is all the info I have.
Edited by YosefuopenOld anime movie where girl has to wear power limiting armor (also maybe wrestling?) Anime
It's an old (70s-80s) anime movie. Science fiction with space travel. A comedy. A girl who I think might be a princess? She's from a planet where everyone is incredibly strong so they have to wear a kind of harness to limit their strength so as to not murder everyone they come into contact with by a handshake. I think on the cover is a picture of her in a blue outfit and maybe red hair.
She goes to a planet and it's a beach resort and I think she gets a crush on a guy but he is only interested in her because she's a princess. I THINK.
At one point she is wrestling another girl with the harness but the opponent takes hers off or turns it off and cheats to try and win the fight.
I watched this like 20 years ago on VHS and I am going insane not being able to figure out what this is!!!
openNo Title Anime
All I know is that I watched this show when in the early 2000’s and it was an anime or cartoon. There were a group of kids that at times would ride skateboards or bikes to a facility where they would enter tubes and go up white/blue lifts like they were being sucked into a spaceship. They then entered a matrix/cyber world were they had weapons and powers to fight robots or machines. I’m pretty sure there was a red head girl who was in some white or blue matrix that had to solve puzzles or stuff that the others had to protect. Besides that I know nothing else. It was an action show mostly.
openSolved! The secret of cerulean sand Anime
I think it was an anime at least. the show was about a girl from Britain i belive, that traveled to a dessert and she had a locket that contained a blue powder. There were flying machines powered by some kind of blue powder that charged in moonlight. Also blue crystals that worked in the same way. The dust and crystals would blow up if charged in sunlight, and it turned red. some evil dude wanted t use the powder and crystals to take over the world or something.
Edited by RexMcKeyopenSci-fi anime film with a scene in a space ghost town towards the end Anime
I think it was an anime, at least I remember it was an animated film, so basicly the only thing I remember from it is a scene towards the end of a little girl (I think) that walks through a space ghost town (far west style town) that has probably been abandoned for a long time, and I remember this sequence being dark (like being literally on the moon and seing space, so not that dark but still dark), and also I remeber all this scene being serious and perhaps sad like if the little girl remembered something walking through that town. I also remeber that at some point the girl picks up a teddy bear lying on the ground in this same city, but once she picks it up and has a look at it, the teddy bear turns to dust. So this is it, it's all I remeber and it's very blury so the details may be false but I'm pretty sure the general idea is right, also I think this isn't a very well known anime, plus it's probably quite an old one (1990 to 2000 maybe), and finaly the last detail, it may not even be a true japanese anime (really not sure about that last detail), when I was young and watched it, it was also the time when I watched russian/polish stuff so this is all, thanks in advance

openThere was this anime of children merging with these animals from a different world called Clusterz Anime
I think it was called Clusterz but not sure. This was in the local language of the place where I was when it aired so there might be differences The human protagonist was a guy called Toma and the Cluster protagonist was this short white animal with a blue crest called Betoma. This guy has a rival who has fire powers and throws kunai and looks a bit like Swampfire from Ben 10: AF. Then there was this green thing who looked a bit like pokemon, then there was this pink one who was a cross between a penguin and a woopecker but had heard like claws and burrowed under the ground Then there was this anti hero guy who had lava powers. He combibes with Toma and dies fighting this dragon like villain who had turned many guys into stone and forcibly absorbed two humans to be more powerful. Then this guy called Goragon comes in. He beat up the villain real good till he absorbed the humans then the tables turned. Then he combined with Toma and beat him up even worse. Then something happens and Goragon gets injured. Betoma and Toma combine but are no match for the villain. Goragon lebds them some of his power for them to hold away the villain till he recovers. Their combo gets an amp and gains the ability to manifest a sword and proceeds to WT Fpwn the villain. They retain this amp till the final ep when the final villain took it away. Speaking of final villain, at first these dark spirits appear who can possess clusterz to give them similar amp as human combination but under the spirit's influence. The possessed one needs to be beat down to remove the spirit who can be killed by mundane means. They can't do this when one is combined. Though a human can combine with the possessed to become even more powerful. Eventually they come across this guy with a golden sword who apparently did just that, who used to be a hero. They eventually beat him a realise he tried to undo his Clusterz possession with a darkness repelling crystal/marble/gem but was absorbed. Then Betoma gets possessed after his rival, who had been possessed earlier failed. Then later Toma intentionally gets absorbedvabd using bthe darkness repelling crystal and willpower breaks free of the possession. They then fight this big guy who has captured many clusterz. His only weak pointbin the head. They defeat by by charging all their energies into one kunai and throws at his head. It is revealed that the real villain had yet to come. Since he had energy.left, Betoma and Tona fight him and get owned, getting their Goragon amp sucked away and then beat into separation. Betoma defeats b the villain by cutting her m open and using the dark esd repelling crystal inside him when he tries to absorb him
openJust want to know what this series is called. Anime
Animated with Ancient china setting and has three main characters who are teenagers, they are all reincarnation of past warriors who defeated a bad guy, who I think can control people, or hypnotise them, bad guy back but we've never seen his face, the characters includ a girl who wants to learn to fight but because she's a girl she can't go to the school but the master is told by a past master sport she's the reincarnation and allows her to enter to train her and her main weapon is ribbons, another main character is a bit of nobal blood who fight with a sword and wants to become a warrior because there's never been one in the family, the last boy is a farmer who fights with nunchucks and has a big family. I remember bits and pieces of some episodes, theirs one where the boys are competing to get a kiss from the girl and ask her to the dance when the one member of there class falls behind once and founds a medallion that turbshim into a monster, who in the end asked the girl to go to the dance but we found out she was going with her cousin. I think the master's or strong warriors have a animal sport, or something when they fight hard opponent the have a animal of a certain colour come and and fight. Another episode involves the characters looking for a time travling wheel when the boys leave the girl alone to go home and then find it and go through it, to found themselves in the future they meet there future selves and realising the left the girl there she was ambushed the the bad guys and hypnotise into being bad, we learn that she can control water. Someone please help me, I really want to remember what this was called, spolier I think it season 1 ends with them drafting the bad guy and then we see his hand come out from the rocks we all though he was under. I also think that there was only one season
Edited by JustwanttoknowopenBrainwashed kids going missing at night Anime
In a village, I believe, masses of children were known to go missing at night. The protagonist discovered that during the night, some kids were just walking out of their homes and leaving the village/town in an organized line or crowd. They appeared to be brainwashed or under some spell. The protagonist followed them to some place, possibly a castle or some abandoned or inaccessible place. My memory's fuzzy, but the culprit, though literally brainwashing and keeping the kids captive, may have had "good" intentions, providing them a home, or perhaps just creating a big family. I don't believe that the kids were killed. The overall feeling of the episode was that of a mystery. This could be an anime (most likely since that's what I watch) or a Western animation or film. There is a similar arc in Black Clover, but what I'm recalling is different since that very Black Clover arc triggered these memories. Thanks!
openI don;t remember the name, it was a series of cartoons Anime
Hi, I am looking for an old cartoon, I don't remember the name, it was about a boy who goes at night in his room and the to his space ship (kind of a racket) and travels throw galaxy on other planets and discovers new worlds, something he is taking his dog some gold dog (maybe a golden retriever). The series is very old, ca colors are faded and it may not contain conversations, just sound similar with Tom and Jerry on this part. Maybe someone else remembers it. Thank you
