This would have been on Crunchyroll in the mid 2000's, but has since been removed because I can't for the life of me find it.
It has kind of an azumangadaiho feel to it. Twin brother and sister who live alone and go to school. Wear red blazer as a uniform. Both brunette with ridiculously blue eyes.
I remember one episode, the brother is walking to the school and then out of nowhere there are Mechas. The show is basically one big amalgamation of every anime trope there is from the mechas to volleyball.
There was no real plot that I remember, but it was a hilarious show.

I have been trying to figure this out for years. I have only one memory about this show from when I was very young. It was probably from the mid/late 90's and I cant remember watching anything besides the usual cartoon network or nickelodeon, but here is what I remember: There is a guy who I am pretty sure is the main character who has a cat like girl sidekick. He is inside a robot at its controls walking through some water. Maybe a sort of hero. There is also a girl who I think was in love with a kind of prince guy, but the prince was with another more elegant girl. Ordinary girl is crushed. The guy from the robot suit thing saves the more ordinary girl at one point. None of this makes much sense but I really hope someone can help me figure this out!

there's this anime i've been dying to see again but i can't remember the name!! what i do remember is: i think it might have been a steam powered airship flying through a valley with forest and lakes underneathe them, the ship itself had like brown propellers all over it, not just underneathe it. then i remember this girl having a vision of the future about this guy walking through a dark area, (think he was walking on a metal floor, they might have been on a ship im not sure) and this one guy coming out of the shadows and ambushing and killing the other guy, so upon seeing this she takes it upon herself to help him. i remember that she has to jump a major gap to get to the next platform to where the man is. im not sure but there might have been someone there trying to stop her or at the very least advising her against it. she ignores him or her and performs like a miracle leap to the other side. the girl gets to the man and warns him in the nick of time. the man lurking in the shadows quickly tries to strike him down after his cover was blown but the other guy either dodges or counters and cuts the attackers face with his sword (they both had swords, the attacker and the would be victim of the attacker that is). the attacker then says something along the lines of: "My face! What have you done to my beautiful face?!" or "My face! How dare you harm my beautiful face!" or something like that. that's all i can remember about it. not sure if this will help but i was born in 1993 and i saw/watched this anime on the TV channel "YTV" at a very young age, i might've been like 4-8 years old at the time. anyways i hope that helps and if you guys could help me remember the name of this anime so i could watch it again i would very much appreciate it and be very grateful.

I swear I'm probably the only one who knows about this anime, I swear I saw it on like Toonami or Cartoon Network, maybe as some short between shows, but still I can't find any trace of this show AT ALL...anyways.
It's about a girl who finds a genie except this genie girl is now her servant, the only moments I remember is a scene near the middle...I think...Where the main girl goes to school with a lunch packed by the genie, at lunch she opens it up and finds a pair of smelly socks.
That's all I know about it but I swear this exists.

First show: It aired on some Asian channel sometime in the 2000s with subtitles.
The main cast seemed to be all-girl (though it's possible that a few were guys with long haircuts and I couldn't tell back then.)
One girl who wasn't the leader / most outspoken member became the last of the [something to do with dragons] after the villain was killed off in the finale (he was the same species?).
The villain was ineffectual (in the consistent failure way) and showed up fairly often throughout the show.
I remember being pretty emotional when it ended so I really want to find it.
I've watched the first five episodes of Slayers TRY and don't think it's that.
Edit: removed second show.

There were lots of references to Cthulhu Mythos . There were girls who battled monsters, I think using books, but I think they would turn chibi while battling (not just stylistically, they actually transformed). A plot point was that humans couldn't build cities too large or gather in large numbers, or they would be attacked by Lovecraftian monsters. Also there were mechas.

this is an anime i watched in the mid 90s. the first scene is of a white wolf chained to a post and another dog near by who is bothering him. the wolf then breaks the chain, kills the dog and escapes. the boy who was the owner of the wolf runs away into the forest to search after him. i recall the opening credits having eastern asian characters.

This was a clip of some anime or other I saw a while ago. I'm not sure if it was several clips put together or actually how it played out in its original format;
- A couple of students on top of a school building do something which causes some sort of beam to be fired from it.
- The beam misses several students standing on the playground before hitting one in a Sailor Fuku (who, based on the context of the rest of the clip, was a male Wholesome Crossdresser) while they're chatting with a friend.
- The student who was hit rushes off to the loos and realises that he's been subjected to a Gender Bender because of the beam.
- She announces the fact in front of the rest of the class (apparently quite pleased).
- They then realise the friend s/he was chatting with was also affected by the blast (but became a Bifauxnen, since he didn't look like a girl in the first place - hence why they only just noticed).
I've already tried looking through the anime section of Gender Bender and Wholesome Crossdresser, but nothing stood out.

Okay, now bear with me on this one.
I remember this show being shown on the Trinity Broadcasting network. I remember it being called "Going Wild!" but whenever I search that name, nothing appears. It was about a village full of animals that acted just like humans, except they were animals. The animals would learn life lessons from their elders. There were a bunch of animals, among them a baby tiger, known as Tiger-San, like, three monkeys, and some bears as the adults. I remember Tiger-San and this one monkey always arguing because Tiger-San was jealous of him or something. It was English dubbed and aired on a Christian network, which makes me doubt that it was originally called "Going Wild!" because I can't find it for the life of me. Please help me.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I was casually surfing through the web, going through some anime-related sites and pages, and found a collage of 18 characters, each from a different series
. I would thank you perpetually if you could tell me who is the one in picture I, right under Son Goku. The character's design reminds me of the characters from Slayers and Lost Universe, but the character herself is very unfamiliar to me (can't tell whether it's because it's a character from those series but in an episode or season I never saw, or simply because it's from another series entirely). Thanks in advance, this curiosity isn't letting me sleep!

Hey Guys,
I'm looking for a show I vaguely remember from late 90's to early 2000's. Its been driving me crazy and I've googled a ton of stuff. The show has the main character who rides a dragon and this dragon is very special for some reason and he got this dragon by accident or for some random reason (i know not alot to go on)...BUT in the middle of his chest is like a red ruby like thing which is the dragons heart. I thought the show was called ex caliber or something but I couldnt find anything like what i remember.

This was a cartoon my brothers watched when they were kids around 1990. It was either an anime or a western-produced (somebody says it was French) cartoon in that style. It was about people going to space and there was a clumsy character and another(?) character who liked baked pasta. The show is responsible for inspiring my mother to incorporate shredded cheese in her baked pasta recipe.

I saw this entry on the transsexual page. I'm curious about manga this is. I can't find it searching Amazon Japan or Google Image:
A little known manga titled Gender Identity Disorder follows the life of an Ft M transsexual. It begins with his childhood (telling his father he wants Santa to give him a penis for Christmas), and ends with him transitioned and leading a successful life, reconciling with his father before he dies.

Ok so I remember watching this show when I was little I think where this mean girl who has blonde hair(I think) and her two side kick who are guys go to this boys(main character) house who barely ever comes to school and wakes him up. I believe he lives with his mom an they're in high school. The girl and the her "goons" go on a train and it crashes. It like splits in half and she falls hanging onto the ledge. She's about to fall when the boy(main character) turns into this thing super hero and saves her right before she falls. Now I also remember another scene where her two sidekicks are turned into these creatures and attack her but she's saved by the boy again. Last I remember a villain who was like a bird I think and he could fly or soar it's an anime or cartoon I definitely know that and I think its a little bit old not new though. It would be great if you could help me find this! thanks!

A work that I found on this site previously, but can't find now:
Something to do with robots/androids living in a largely abandoned world. Maybe had rising sea levels? There are still some humans around but not many and most of the world is empty. Apparently has very little dialogue. I think there is some kind of cafe or coffee shop. The page image was of the protagonist (who is one of the robots) standing or sitting on top of a telephone pole submerged in water and playing either a violin or some other musical instrument.
I'm... sure it was previously listed as Iyashikei, but I can't see anything like it on that page any more. Similarly for Robot Girl and I Have The High Ground. Can't remember whether it was specifically anime or manga.
I never read the work itself, so sadly can't remember any other details.
