Obscure Seinen? Anime

Had a dream where there was a massive crossover fic I allegedly wrote at 14 but it included stuff like Mass Effect...however, this was among the works featured so here's what I can remember about it:

Had to be when I was 12-14 (so 2007 earlier), royal intrigue/political drama with a dash of historical fantasy, followed the prince of the kingdom as he's used as a pawn by everyone around him. Evil tyrannical king with guards to match. Everyone had long black hair. It also had a sort of classic elaborate seinen style from around the late 90s/early 2000s with shoujo influences. Help?

edit: before I see it suggested, it's NOT parasyte, a lot of people I P Med have been saying such. idk why. it has zero to do with the description I gave.

Looking for a sci-fi anime that starts with a race between various characters Anime

So, I am trying to find this anime that looks like a mix of fantasy and sci-fi. I don't remember much about it, but I believe I remember the first episode showed a bunch of characters (I think they were classmates) in a race through a city (possibly floating in the sky) and they were using their powers to make it. The characters had pretty varied designs, but the MC was a calm looking, brown-haired man who had a kind of fur on the top of his coat, I think. I don't remember much, but it looked really nice.

Horror anime, guy unknowingly eats brains Anime

So, I've seen this anime over 15 years ago, and it is still in my mind. I don't remember much, so I don't want to get my hopes up. I think it was series of horror animes / cartoons. I don't remember any details, set or setting, I remember a part- a guy was really hungry, decided to brake into a shop (?) of some kind. It was really dark, he couldn't really see what he was doing, but he found a fridge (?) and started eating. Next think you know, it's light now and guy realises he's eating brains or other humanly parts, not sure. I don't know if it was a series, or just part of animated movie, I just have that one scene in my mind. Any help to rediscover that piece would be really appreciated.

Peach trees and flashbacks Anime

Ok, so there's this girl, I think she and her sister were adopted. A cop brings her home and says "MERRRR SHE WAS STEALING STUFF" and the mom was like "you steal from my peach orchard all the time...you thought i didn't notice?" then he runs off embarassed.

THEN its later in the flashback, the girl gets in a fight with her mom and she disowns her.

flash forward to present day her and her sister are grown up and one has trashed the other's house during a nervous breakdown, but the one who owns the house is very calmly like "i shouldn't leave you alone in my house."

What is this anime???

Post apocalyptic series about 4 teenagers in an abandoned city? Anime

There was this show I watched, back around 2013 or 2014. It was done like a motion comic, if I remember correctly, and the episodes were shorter than average. I watched it on Crunchyroll, but it’s not on there anymore I don’t think.

It was about a teenaged boy, two teenaged girls, and a younger girl. They were the only survivors of an apocalypse that wiped out the rest of humanity. These strange orbs of energy had made every other human being vanish sometime before the series picks up. There wasn’t a whole lot of conflict anymore though, just in flashbacks to the event. In the present, it’s largely about the four main characters just going about their lives. Stuff like growing crops, going swimming in a flooded city, and finding an old tank.

There was also a running subplot about the characters flashing back to earlier points in their lives, I believe? I’ve been trying to find this series for years now, but I can’t find any trace of it ever existing.

White haired guy with psychic headaches Anime

I watched a fairly mature anime (there was smoking, drinking, blood, etc) on SBS anywhere from late 90s to the 2000s. Key points I remember:

• This woman goes to this private detective-type to find her brother
• The brother has white hair and he was having these massive headaches that cause him to kill people with Psychic Powers against his will
• When confronting the brother another guy takes off a cloak(?) and he is a man in military uniform with white hair. The military man reveals that the brother is actually a clone of him and he was sort guinea pig for the process for giving Psychic Powers. The military man boasts that the experiments on the clone allowed him to have the powers without the headaches

Anime brief no panties scene? Anime

This scenen was very brief and I probably saw it on youtube, a little more than a year or so ago. Anyway, a guy walks into the kitchen in the house he's in. We hear a this, and he looks to his right. A little girl wearing ordinary clothes and a apron fell over, and quicklu got up. She nervously asked if he saw. Smiling, he replies he didn't see her panties. And she said "Good, because I wasn't wearing any panties today." I don't know much about the anime, but it SEEMED like an anime where one guy lives with a bunch of girls. That's really common in anime nowadays, but another detail is that this guy seems to be the girls'" master"and they're all his servants.

And that's that. Know it? Looked everywhere but can't find it! Please help me.

Animated movie about insects specifically fireflies Anime

I originally saw this movie as a kid in Korea. It was an animated film about a crippled firefly who could not fly. He teams up with a blind firefly who can fly and he acts as his eyes. I also remember a female love interest firefly who was pink while the rest of the fireflies were all blue green colored. There was one scene I remembered pretty vividly where a spider caught a couple fireflies and killed them, and later the flightless firefly was briefly caught in its web too and started signalling with his light as a warning. I think the spider tried to shoot some web at it but it managed to get away. I can't find this movie when I try to look it up based on this information. I'm not sure where this film was animated but I originally saw it in Korean and haven't been able to find it here.

No Title Anime

I watched it on dish on demand in the late 2000s or early 2010s. There was a group of friends who would fight against these robots or robot like creatures. I remember an episode where there was an ocean of black goo serounding them in the heat of battle and then I think the robots may or may not have helped them escape from the ocean of goo. Also I'm not entirely sure it was exactly an anime but it was toon looking. Sorry I don't remember much. P.s. there may have been a body swap episode where a guy and a girl get swallowed up by a green blob but then escape with the help of their other friends and when they escaped the blob their minds were swapped but I'm REALLY unsure about this being linked to the same show I'm thinking of, so yea.

Character Killed by Boomerangs and bleeding (I think its oil?) Anime

I know the character got hit in the back by like four blades that look like sharper and less curved boomerangs, and the next shot of them is them on the ground dead, but bleeding what I think is oil. I can't think of the name of the show.

Who are the first two anime characters in this image? Anime

Also which animes they are from. Thanks.◊

Looking for an old anime episode. Anime

The art syle was like an old shoujo, everyone's eyes had like three or four dots of light in them, with maybe a few lines too. The colors made it look like it was traditionally animated, which it probably was because I saw it dubbed around 2006. The setting's aesthetics (buildings, clothing, etc) were European. Both of the characters I remember were blue-eyed blondes too, or at least close enough that my memory could distort them into that.

So, the episode starts with a girl, the protagonist, walking into a town. I think this might have been an once-an-episode thing, but I only ever watched one so I'm not sure. I think the girl had a blue dress on (kinda fuzzy there), and she was definitely walking beside her albino pet lion cub. They go near a bridge and see a man standing on the handrails. (They were pretty thick, white handrails, kinda like tiny roman pillars sharing a single top). The girl screams at him not to jump and he turns around, screams and throwns himself onto the bridge's floor while trying to get away from her pet lion. After a few seconds he regains his composure and starts chastising her. He says he's a painter and he was just trying to get a good view of the dawn, but now she's broken his concentration and ruined his work and she should learn not to put her nose where it doesn't belong, etc. Eventually he walks away, partly angry at the girl and partly scared at the lion.

Now, I get the feeling the plot follows the girl around for a while after this, but I can't say much more. The next thing I remember is the artist at a fancy party where nobles (or rich burgueoise, who knows) are chatting about how wonderful his paintings are and such. I think he might have been auctioning them, I feel there were a few shown onscreen. Anyways, he takes a break from socializing to sulk at a corner (might have been a balcony or something, just somewhere where there were fewer guests but still inside the house grounds) and mentally monologues to himself about how he almost jumped to his death earlier that day, but he's got a lion phobia and seeing the cub shocked him out of it. I don't remember if he said it explicitly, but he sounded like he was planning to try again as soon as he could, and he had a sort of "Ugh, that meddling kid ruined it!" kind of attitude.

I don't remember anything after that. I kinda feel like the girl wound up at the party somehow, but that might just be me filling a blank space with my best guess. It was a kid's shows and she was the protagonist, so I'm sure she helped him somehow.

maybe anime Anime

Soo there is this war thingie going on and there are different teams (maybe just two) and each of them have their own fighters. One of the fighters is a girl which is some guys fighter and they meet in a cemetery I think and another one is some kinda human shaped machine which explodes in the end

so yea I hope you got something out of that

Anime guy turned into cat, what anime? Anime

I don't remember much really (I think I saw this clip on youtube. Some anime guy somehow turned into a black cat. He tried to tell his friends but they didn't recognize him so he ran away. (He either ran away or they shooed him away.) But then he met a little girl. She had a typical stoic personality (there's almost always one stoic girl in anime) and she was MAYBE wearing a typical (black) witch hat and witch dress. I don't remember much of what she wore but that hardly matters. She possibly had blonde straight hair, but I can't say for sure. She said that it would be bad if she couldn't recognize "her master", him. So he was "her master", one way or another, and she recognized him despite his cat-form. And I assume she helped him turn back. I don't remember how he turned into a cat but I guess witchcraft.

Anime where this meme came from Anime

So basically I want to find out from which anime did the screencaps used for this meme came from. The meme can be found here: https://scontent-scl1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/51672161_2258728394146088_815325839506800640_n.png?_nc_cat=1&_nc_ht=scontent-scl1-1.xx&oh=17df6cddc266ab5d1578585139b40e9e&oe=5D2193D8 (sorry, I don't know how to insert links more gracefully).

Rain vs Speed? Anime

I remember it was like an underdog fight, where someone only had the power to make it rain, versus someone who could stop time, or move very fast? I think it also had something to do with an assassin too, but I remember the person with rain powers won because the other person ran into it and died because of how fast they were moving making the rain like cement or something. Please help! It's so frustrating that I can't remember!

Nightmarish In-Name-Only Funny Animal Treasure Island (solved) Anime

I’ve got bizarrely specific memories of this- I could have sworn it was named Treasure Island, but it’s not listed among any list of adaptations I can find. I think it was an anime, and an older one (1980s-ish?) An Anthropomorphic Animal Adaptation of Treasure Island, but In Name Only. It’s not The Legends of Treasure Island, but very similar. It’s not Animal Treasure Island either; no human characters at all. Jim Hawkins is a cat in this one, I think. He gets the map, but in this bizarre arbitrary detail it doesn’t show where in the ocean the island even is, so Squire Trelawney says, “then we shall let the gods decide!” and throws a dart at a map of the world and they sail to that place and happen to get it right, the island happens to be right where the dart landed. At one point on the island they’re on a lake or river and there’s an “undertow” (not sure if that’s what they call it in the film or if it’s just my childhood understanding of the events) but it’s a living creature and Jim dives/gets pulled underwater by it, and gets to see the entire thing, which turns out to be some nightmarish anemone-like tentacle monster on the bottom of the lakebed. At the end of the movie, they never find the treasure and the island sinks into the sea and it’s incredibly depressing.

Anime with half-human half-cricket or Grasshopper main character Anime

When I was young and visiting Tunisia, I remember an anime that looked like it came from either studio Ghibli or nippon animation world masterpiece theater. The main character, or at least the one I saw in the Intro, was a half-human half-grasshopper or cricket like character who rode a bike. He had the face and a lot of body parts of a human, but he had antennas and abdomen of either a cricket or a grasshopper (my memory is very bad about this series). So, this would fall under the trope "Little Bit Beastly", but looking in the Trope page it or some similar series is not listed there (and I was sure to double check. If you want to prove me wrong, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO DO SO). Also, the fashion of the series seem to look like something out of the late 1800s and early 1900s.

This series has been giving me a headache trying to figure it out for a long, LONG time, so I'd really appreciate it if anyone knows what I was talking about. The series was dubbed in French, but I KNOW it wasn't a french cartoon or even a Tunisian one. It was very clearly an Anime.

Green jacket detective Anime

It has been killing me for about 5 years. I was watching this show in early 2000's but im not sure when was it made. It's about some kind of DETECTIVE. I believe he had a GREEN JACKET and some kind of a HAT (maybe kangool, its popular in great britany, hooligans use to wear them). I was about 5-6 years at the time and i can't remember any kind of details anymore so i understand if no one can help. Have a good day

[Unsolved] Blue Alien Comedy Anime Anime

Alright, this has been on my mind for a while. Some years ago (should have been AT LEAST before 2010, probably closer to 2000), I watched an Anime which centered around a boy (who may have been the Only Sane Man) and two classmates: One was a blue guy, the other was a human-sized (anthropomorphic?) frog. (The Only Sane Man part is that, as far as I remember, the boy was the only one who thought that the two were strange in any way.) I remember the blue guy being an alien (the frog probably was, as well), but I am not too sure about that. The show was focussed on comedy, derived from the fact that the alien and the frog were completely ridiculous and tended to subvert the main characters expectations.

I remember three scenes from this show: One was from an episode in which the characters were trapped inside a video game (I think?). While walking through a desert, the main character sees a little shop in a distance and makes his way to it, only to realise that the shop seems to travel away from him, judging it to be a Hollywood Mirage... only to THEN find out that it is a real shop, and the blue guy is actually dragging it away from the main character.

Another scene showed the class which the characters attended visiting a swimming pool and the main character commenting on how salty the water was (as if it was the ocean), cutting to the other two, who were actually pouring salt into the pool (and mentioning that it still wasn't salty enough.)

Finally, there was an episode where the main character's love interest was mad at him for some reason, so the three protagonists found out (possibly by travelling into the past) that he once gave her a promise to replace some of her dolls; the rest of the episode was spent on them finding out that the manufacturer went out of business and trying to get some of those dolls.

That's about all I have. So far, looking for it has only pointed me toward "Sgt. Frog", which is not the Anime I saw, so here's hoping that the TV Tropes Hive Mind can help me with this.

Just came to me out of the blue... Anime

There was a scene in the show where a little boy was crying out for his mommy, only to realize that he is being held by the waist by a crazy clown who proceeds to shoot up the place.

It was a long time ago and I saw it when I was little. I don't blame anyone if they can't figure out what it is...

(Solved) Astro Boy-esque anime movie with child protagonist and a robot girl Anime

Edit: the movie was Metropolis (2001), thank you!! now I can die complete

I watched this movie very late at night on I believe Cartoon Network or Boomerang when I was fairly small, at least 7 or 8. From what I can remember, it's a (possibly) post-apocalyptic world where robots and machines are everywhere. Entire buildings are made of metal and from what I remember everything was fairly trashy and gunky looking. The protagonist is a young boy who befriends a young girl (I believe she's a robot). I was fading in and out of sleep when watching this movie, so all I remember is the ending - the girl had presumably died and the boy and all the robots (which did not look human like the girl did) were tearfully wishing and waving her goodbye. I'm also certain there was a massive explosion at some point in the film, or at least the large collapse of one of the metal buildings (which may or may not have led to the girl's death).

The animation style seemed old, how old I can't be sure but it gave me Studio Ghibli/Astro Boy vibes, however I don't think the art style was similar to Ghibli or Tezuka's. Again, the world and setting seemed post-apocalyptic; everything was dirty and brown and most of the metal looked rusty. The boy was the only human I remember seeing in the film. The movie was dubbed when I watched it, and the dubbing was pretty poor. If anyone knows what this movie/OVA was that would be a life saver as it has been the bane of my existence since I first ever watched it. By this point I'm honestly wondering whether I dreamed it up.

Ordinary girl thinking about murder Anime

Alright, so a few days ago, I saw someone post an image of a manga panel that showed a girl sleeping in her bed, and the white dialogue box on the left side said "I'm just another ordinary girl, who is wanted for several murders."

Now that I've seen said image, I'm really wanting to find out what manga it's from.

Kind of anime-cartoon action Anime

I remember one episode that some kids get stuck in a strange place that looks like earth and they live in a tree house (I think I’m not sure) and one day they find a kid alien that is blue and ty to find his family when they find his family’s space ship they walk slowly to them one by one but the get electricity shock because they walk closer to the parents and because the ground gave some kind of electricity like trap tiles , and well in the last episode they all get back home idk how

Specific One piece episode? Anime

Hi. I'm looking for a certain one piece episode that won't get out of my head. In the episode episode Chopper fell overboard. He was saved by Robin, she used her devil fruit powers to grab him before he fell into the sea (I thought for sure Luffy would streth and grab him, but Robin came to the the rescue). And they were in the air, maybe flying or falling, or maybe something like a seaking knocked them out of the sea. I think it was pretty stormy. The thing is, I remember that scene really clearly, but I don't remember which episode it was. And I would really like to see that episode again. I also THINK Robin called Chopper "Chopper" and not "Doctor-san", so it might've taken place after enies lobby, maybe even after the timeskip. I cannot say. I also don't know if this scene was from an ordinary episode or a tv-special or a movie, but I suppose it was from the anime. Please, please, please help me find this!
