openLooking for a specific episode of Detective Conan Anime
Here is what I'm sure about this episode :
1) Aired in France before January 2006 : because I'm sure I watched it when I was still living in an appartment that me and my family left in early December 2005, so it must have been from a season before this .
WARNING : Spoilers ahead !!!
2) The plot goes around a woman using sleeping pills to help in the murder of a young girl
3) I think ( but am not sure ) that Conan confronts her with the murder by night
I would be mad with joy if someone can recover this episode for me . I distinctly remember watching it in the appartment living-room while someone was taking a shower, and me eating a candy in front of the TV set , being blasted by the plot twist at the end which for the young boy I was in those days was amazing and heartwrenching. It fed my nightmares for months afterward and has always been somewhere in the attic of my mind and memories . Arigato gozaimasu !
Thunder.
Edited by Nuup-KangerluaopenChinese cartoon Anime
This is probably a pretty old cartoon by this point. Let me start by saying it is not avatar. The main characters are three chinese kids who fight an evil sorcerer to parts of something, mayby parts of a treasure map but I think its some kind of artifact. One of the kids is a girl who fights with like whips and lives in a kind of monastary with monks. Leading the monks is a wise old sterotypical master. The second kid weilds like a pipe or some kind of staff. the last kid just uses a sword.
openMagic anime Anime
I remember watching an anime series in the early 2000's about a girl who moved to Tokyo for a job as a magician. At one point a cat curls up in her lap and dies, and at another point her mentor uses his magic to help a woman win the lottery so she can find a missing person. It was a Netflix dvd rental, that's all I can remember. Thanks in advance.
openLooking for a TV show Anime
I vaguely remember a TV show about a boy who wanted a robot in a world were it was normal for people to have them. He got one (I think it was orange) but it didn't work so he got angry with it. I hope I'm remembering it right. Any help would be appreciated.
Edited by WhatTheShockopenOne shot manga, buy skills with years of your life as currency Anime
A few years ago, I read an one shot of a (japanese) manga. In it, the teen potagonist find a magical shop where he can change years of his life for a skill. At the end of the one shot, he uses all his life years and ends in negative, and the girl he likes dies because of his actions. In the end everyone lives.
It is not and old one. It was published after 2006 for sure, and I forgot the title of the one shot. Thanks in advance.
openSearching for a manga Anime
So, I'm trying to find the name of a manga that I stumbled across some time ago. The specific chapter I remember reading involved gender bending. The protagonist visits a hospital and finds out that before the hospital performs gender reassignment surgery they require their patients to enter sort of a vr simulation that will show them what life as a girl will be like. The protagonist enters the simulation and has a lot of fun playing around and dressing up as a girl, however near the end of the simulation he finds out that he also has to experience what it would feel like to give birth to a child. The guy pulls out after things start getting really painful and the chapter ends with him considering his friend, a transgender girl who went through the procedure, and marveling at how strong she must have been to go through with it.
opena show about a genius criminal with a mask Anime
Hi, him looking for an old cartoon from the (maybe) 2000 era. It’s about a team of detectives that track a genius criminal with a (golden?) mask. It takes place in Europe if I remember correctly and the main appeal is the mystery surrounding the identity of this criminal.
If anyone has any clue about this show and where I can find it ( I mostly want to know the identity of the man behind the mask) tell me please.
openKix network show about pink bunnies in a giant robot? Anime
I'm not entirely sure if it was a dubbed anime or a western piss-take of anime, but it was this stylized CGI show about a trio of rabbits (one or more of which were pink) who piloted a giant robot against some other asshole who would constantly throw new robots into town to screw things up. This has been annoying me for ages and I need to at least know the name of this show. If you guys could help it would be massively appreciated.
openAn anime about people with half-superpowers Anime
So one day a friend of mine showed me an episode from an anime. The show was about characters that had superpowers that were just kinda off. Like for example, the main character can possess other people's bodies, but only for a few seconds. Another character could turn invisible, but only for one person, and everyone else saw them like normal. And also another character could run super fast, but they can't stop until they hit something. The main character had to go to this new school for people with these half-superpowers, and he also had a little sister. Does anyone know what this show is?
open Trying to remember a cartoon from the 90s Anime
I am trying to remember a cartoon I saw when I was a child. I remember watching the show at a place between 93 to 97, I think. It was about two girls who were sisters. One were some years older than the other one. They could have been like 16 and 10. I think I remember that they had french names. I remember them being at some kind of orphanage but I am not sure. it's not Madeline. I remember them being treated not very fair. There were many episodes. Throughout the shows they were looking to find their parents. For some reason they had been separated from them. I remember one of the last shows thought they were in the jungle and a cruel man had kidnapped them and I think they were trying to get away. I don't remember it as a funny cartoon but more of a serious kind. Does this ring any bell to you guys?

openAnime on demand anime Anime
This anime was on Time Warner Cable's anime on demand service years ago. The episode had a scene of a girl doing ballet or some other dance. It's not Princess Tutu
openReally messed up martial arts manga. Anime
Don't know to put this under Anime or Print Comic so I made an educated guess. Trying to remember a manga I was reading a while back, about a high school kid who kills his family, gets sent to prison, learns martial arts and turns into an absolute monster. It's not Ichi the Killer neither. Ring any bells?
openRetro magical girl anime with a blonde protagonist? Anime
No, it wasn't Sailor Moon.
I can't remember which series this is and looking through Magical Girl didn't help. It's a 80s or 90s Magical Girl, or possibly Cute Witch, anime where the lead is a blonde girl of around 8-13 years old. I know it wasn't Ririka SOS . It might be Akazukin Chacha but I'm not certain.
All i can remember from the show are endless fights over doughnuts between a boy and his blue alien/creature pet/friend. The alien looked like a pokemon that walked and talked and had big ears. It was fat and small and was colored with light blue and white beige.
There was a portal that helped you move between the humans and the "aliens" worlds.
I remember that at the end we found out that the blue alien was a legendary creature and that his brother was killed.
Help me find it, please! Thanks!:)
