openAlternate Dimension Fantasy Manga Anime
Ok, so I know that the medium says Anime, but I know this was a manga. My buddy lent it to me a while ago, and I since have moved away from him and cannot find a copy of it, or even remember what it was called.
So, it was about a girl who somehow gets transported to an alternate, magic friendly fantasy dimension. You know the type, kings, queens,dragons, dwarves, horses, fortresses, magic and swords. (See what I did there?) But anyways, she meets an elf sorceress who is on the verge of being killed, and the elf merges with the human chick. Time skip back to the human world, and every time the human girl blushes she transforms into the elf sorceress. I can't remember much else, but I do remember that I only read the first volume.
openHelp me find this Tv show Please
It was a comedy Tv show from 2000's about a teenager guy's dating issues i think he was virgin. He dates a Indian girl with British accent and then another girl with purity ring but still can't get laid.
openEdutainment show? Live Action TV
There was this Live Action Tv show about this group of kids who went on magical learning adventures inside this old abandoned lot that was completely surrounded by a wood fence so that you couldn’t see inside. Inside was a portal to another dimension or something with all sorts of stuff that changed from episode to episode. I recall it being the first time I ever heard of the Knights and Knaves puzzle and it was played pretty straight here. If I recall correctly every episode was filled with logic puzzles very similar to that one. I remember one episode ended with another kid outside the main group looking through a hole in the fence and seeing some magic stuff and there was, I think, a story arc about adults wanting to build something on the empty lot. I’d say it was on tv in the last 80’s or early 90’s.

Windows meets Rogue Leader, who to his horror is a 10-year-old girl
there was a sitcom where this situation also happened. and the episode was a crossover episode between two sitcoms but was only featured on one sitcom. notably one of the sitcoms was cancelled earlier than the other but before the crossover episode happened.
it's either that or parents from 'show A' find out their kid is talking to an online stranger and believe it's an online predator, while parents from 'show B' find out their kid is also talking an online stranger and also believe it's an online predator. Hilarity ensues between both groups when they schedule a meeting and are confused when they reverse online predator'd each other.
openCan you help me to find a specific Dutch song ? Music
This question is for the Dutch folks overthere : can you help me to recover a particular song that is sung in Dutch ? It has a male singer, who is rather "thick" but not "fat", surrounded with "fanservice girls" and he's playing acoustic guitar. I can remember him in front of a discothèque or something like that , and an old cool American car. I would say it's rather "pop-rockesque" in its style , very radio-friendly.
Thank you very much for your help, cause it's driving me crazy.
openWhat's this show called?
I remember watching a show as a kid on either nickelodeon or cartoon network, It was about a group of people that had monsters (in some kind of way, can't remember). The main character had a puzzle solving little monster in the start and that's all I really remember. Also, they went on adventures to find better and more powerful monsters.
Please help me i want nostalgia :)
openThe name of this webcomic Webcomic
Trying to remember the name of this webcomic I read a while back. I remember the main character was a werewolf or some sort of shifter and landed up living in a tower with what was either a witch or some qizard I can't quite remember. And there was some small children who lived in a nearby village that would come by.
openSemi-hard sf novel Literature
I read it about 10 years ago and I think it was pretty new then. There's space travel but no star travel (IIRC), and people can back themselves up and have their minds read into a clone body in the event of their death. The protagonist is such a person, who wakes up in a cloning facility, having been restored from a five year old backup. In the interim, he made some enemies, one of whom murdered him. So the protagonist has to solve his murder.
openAnyone remember "Best Ed"?
I can't even find anyone on the internet who remembers "Best Ed". It's this buddy comedy of a dog (Ed) and squirrel (Buddy) as unlikely friends and going on various misadventures. It can easily be confusable for a spinoff of Ed, Edd n' Eddy. I wonder if anyone on the internet remembers this show
openShort, probably on Nicktoons, with boy whose head explodes from too much knowledge? Western Animation
My boyfriend told me that around '04 or '05, a single time, he was really sure it was on Nicktoons, he saw a short he can find no evidence of or reference to anywhere. He said it was about a boy who gained so much knowledge, that his head exploded from too much knowledge, and it looked like a moral. It was not Foul Facts or Safety Queen. Does anyone have any idea what this was? Thanks.
openThis one show on KidsCo...
It's this cartoon with this girl who follows a crow to this fence/wall with a hole in it and when the girl goes through she goes on adventures with a cat lady... i think. I can't remember much really. I watched this when I was like 5. Please help. I must know the name. Tw T
openShow about cube head animals
It was a short show about animals with cube heads. I beleive it was sort of real and not a cartoon. The episode i saw was about 2 animals, a cat and a dog maybe. They were trying to get a certain item, i cant remember what it was. The item ended up getting stuck on a ceiling light or ceiling fan and the animals kept trying to get it but a bird kept messing uo their plans. Then the animals made a rocket and one of them animals ended up on the moon.
openMovie with a creature that gets transported to present day Film
So in this animated movie (it might have been direct to video), there's two kids- a brother and sister, I think. They end up traveling either back in time or to an alternate dimension (I can't remember which) where they encounter a yellow creature and end up taking him back to their present time/dimension. When they're there, a scientist captures and experiments on him. The kids end up saving him, but that's just about all I can remember. I think that the creature had suction cup feet? I've looked everywhere, but I can't find anything.
openNovel/Short Story where a guy discovers his religion is from a book Literature
No, not the Bible or Scientology.. It's a novel or short story where a guy stumbles across a fiction book, and it turns out everything in his people's religion was taken directly from the book. I think he was at their temple, or holy place. Checked the religion tropes, can't find anything about religions made from books, other than the real life examples.
openSF novel with people living near a neutron star Literature
I recall reading a SF novel about a human civilization that was living on a (wrecked?) spacecraft or space station trapped in close orbit around a neutron star or a black hole — with consequent distorting effects on the human culture and living conditions. Anyone remember the name or author of that story?
I feel as if it might have been from Gregory Benford, or someone very like him, but if so I can't pick it out from the Wikipedia bibliography of his works.
openChildrens show with puppet animals working at a hospital
Think it was from the 80s or most likely the 90s...
Edited by Fudga
This was when I was in 4th grade, about 1995 or so. Book may be older. All I remember is that it had some letters in it, and the first one was about a puppy. The person writing the letter said "we licked it" instead of "liked it", and then spelled "friend" wrong.
