openClass isekai goes home Anime

openA 3D animated show like Avatar Anime
Trying to find a not so old 3D animated show (I'm quite positive it was a mini-series but I am not sure :/) where the protagonist is a young boy having some kind of blue markings on his face, who goes around to learn to fight and other variety of skills from different senseis and has some kind of a weapon emitting blue light. The time period in the show is ancient and the show is most probably an anime but it's 3D animated somewhat like Pixar movies. The characters in the show are hybrids of humans and animals and I distinctly remember an Ox/bull-like character who was either a sensei or the antagonist. This is all I can remember and I've been trying to find it for 2 days now but I just can't seem to do it. I am so mad at myself because I loved that show growing up and now I can't even remember the name.
openAnimated Paranormal Investigation Show? Anime
It was a case of the week type of show, with a small team. I remember the plot of two episodes
One episode had a actress who thought she was haunted but was being stalked by her assistant.
Another had a secret abortion clinic in a mall basement, and the ghosts of the fetuses were attacking the (usually teen) parents.
I can't find anything on this
openThe Mecha Pilot Got Isekai'd or Something... Anime
The only thing I remember about it is that the protagonist (I think) who pilots a black mecha gets Isekai'd to a different world and meets a girl there.
open"He seems to really like your hair, K___!" Anime
OK, so, I was browsing You Tube a long time ago, and I came upon this anime clip of a man with pink hair holding a baby, also with pink hair while a girl and some relatives watch. I believe the baby the man was holding was his past self. Anyways, the baby started pulling at the man's hair, prompting the girl watching to say something along the lines of "He seems to really like your hair, K___!" I can't remember for the life of me the rest of the man's name or where the anime was from or anything. I wasn't paying attention to the title so I can't search it, by the way.
There was a second part as well, possibly from the same anime. A different boy, the same girl and the baby were all hanging onto each-other, like a human chain. The girl was holding onto the boy's legs while the baby was holding on to the girl's shorts by the back pockets. I can't remember what happened next because it was such a long time ago.
Edited by jellygelly13openManga series about modern-day ninjas Anime
The series was about this ninja clan war/competition set in the modern day. The main character is a regular kid who somehow becomes the leader of a ninja clan, which included at least one ninja girl/love interest. The clans would fight and if a clan leader was defeated, the winner would take over as leader. One of the clans was animal themed and had a ninja bear. The series was mostly comedic but had some serious moments. At some point the main character loses his clan and has to restart, but that's about where I lost track of it.
openLooking dor this anime Anime
I took this screenshot a while back and have no idea where it is from:https://ibb.co/Phb6w8n
openRecent-ish Space Manga Anime
A couple months back I started reading a manga in the middle of the night. It was about a prince of some experimental universe or something going on adventures to reclaim his throne. The emperor had an embarrassing secret duck suit fetish or something.
The supporting cast included a robotic locker that had a girl inside, and a space pirate in the body of a cat. As far as I know, the name of the series is the name of the girl who was in the locker - called a coffin by the people in charge. It made Pico pico/piko/peko noises.
I'm hoping somebody knows of it... Thank you for your time!
openAnime with robbery in opening Anime
Around 2011-2012, I remember my sister watching this anime in the living room. The DVD had a trailer for Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood on it. The two main things I remember were a robbery in the opening, with guns firing and one character wearing a silly mask (that my mom commented on, but I sadly remember that more than the actual mask), and a scene where a character is covered in blood while another says to him "you look like you've seen a ghost." I vividly remember this line because when Pokémon the Series during a Best Wishes episode used the phrase "you look like you've seen a Ghost-type Pokemon" I ended up getting reminded of that scene and feeling awkward.
Edited by KingofNightmaresopenAn Anime regarding card games Anime
It involved characters being spawned via cards. I recall one of major characters being a blonde female with ponytails that had a energetic, bubbly personality, their name was likely something like “Sunshine”, “Summer”, or “Sunny”, and she had a love interest that black hair and glasses. I remember the main character having blue hair. The blonde character was friends with a female band of three that wore clothes that matched their hair, one wore blue, one wore pink, and one wore green. The movie ends with the main characters in a prom/wedding dancing with each other. I recall the blonde character being stuck in a statute

openRich kid harem Anime
So it was a manga i used to read back when there was only a few chapters out. If i remember correctly mc was an heir to some big company and was hella rich, and he had a harem of girls who were taking care of him as a result. I remember one of the girl seemed to care about him as a person regardless, i don't remember the rest
Set up is similar to this
https://mangadex.org/title/3ad71bcc-3b99-4da6-9c1f-729741cce411/tamarowa
But the male main character is of high school age, and not as brazen with woman. I don't think it was a game show either.
Sorry if it's too vague
openMecha anime: Kid with giant robot fighting corporate? Anime
I only remember one chapter: the protagonist was dressed in worn clothes and looked like some kind of "Wild Boy" with a connection to a giant robot. For some reason an organization was after him and the villain on duty was a fat man, somewhat old, who controlled a kind of robot shaped like a head (it was just a head without a body).
openNo Title Anime
There was a manga I'd encountered many years ago, purportedly one of the earliest in the Yuri Genre, where a girl meets and begins to fall for another girl. The second girl, it turns out, has horrific burn scars from a fire, and lives with a sister who was even more disfigured and blames the first girl's family for their misfortune and is plotting revenge.
open(Solved) Show/ first episode about a girl who wanted to hunt yokai and a yokai? Anime
The premise was like this girl came from the country to the city to be like, a youkai hunter or something?? And she runs into this dude who like helps her out but he’s secretly a fox youkai. He also like, helped her pick out a good kimono and I think a hair pin bc what she came from the countryside with was super stand-outish. There was also like, a clock tower and a chase scene and meeting outside the gate to the city at like, sundown or something. I think she also came to the city with her brother and they split up for the day to each go find work. I can't remember if this was just like, the first episode to a show or was an OVA but if anyone knows what I'm talking about I would greatly appreciate it.
Edited by ChibiterasujojoopenManga With A Chapter About The Red String of Fate Anime
I used to read this manga that I liked back in the day and I want to reread it, but I don't remember the name or anything about it. The only thing I remember is a chapter (or chapters) of this manga that talks about the red string of fate. One day at school the main character notices that her friends are falling in love or liking other people, than the person they used to like. They then bumped into a girl I think? Or boy? The Boy has a sister whose string is attached to her childhood friend and she didn't like that. She then painted her nails allowing her to break the string and tie it to the main character's male friend. The girl's brother is at the main character's school to fix the mess she made. At the end of the chapter or chapters, the main character (who is a girl) broke the red string of fate by making her friend realize he loves her or something like that. One detail about this is they made the nail polish with some herbs or something in order to see the red string. Another thing is this manga has a bit of magic, but I'm not sure. That's all I know about this chapter or chapters of this manga I am trying to find. If you guys know about this manga or the chapter of a manga I am describing please tell me!
openEcchi anime scene in store changing room Anime
I have this anime scene on my mind, a bit ecchi. It was a guy and a girl on a date (I think, or he was just helping her with shopping or something) and they were in a lingerine shop/section, and when the girl were gonna put her panties back on, she tripped and fell, somehow getting his face in between her legs. His eyes got all swirly from this little surprise, and while trying to get out he must've rubbed against her. Because, to no surprise, she had a little orgasm, even the staff yelled at them to pipe down. Anime girls, under the right circumstances they seem to orgasm just from being poked. There was also another girl outside, following them around I think. I'm guessing this was some harem anime, so she was lively a jealous girl following them around just to see what went down. She had irange hair and wore a bad 'disguise, cap mouthwear and sunglasses. Also, I think the girl in the changing room were named Nikita or something. Something with Nini or Mimi, I can't say for sure.
I'm really hoping someone can help me find this!
openForgot manga title, help please! Anime
Totally forgotten one manga title. Main hero (female) had defeated a demon Queen and, as was custom, she was given a princess hand in marriage. That's first chapter. Now, hero and princess (married girls) need to figure out what to do about their current situation. Not to mention, the demon queen was defeated, not killed, and now, she spies on them and begins to develop feelings of her own for the heroine
Edited by m@xwell

it wasnt an anime as its known now but an animated kids show it was set around a bunch of kids in the medieval time in a renaissance type castle the characters that i remember where a fat girl with ginger hair that spoke like the looney toons tasmanian devil another girl who was the daughter of the king but liked hanging out with these peasants a bald kid who seemed to be the butt of all the jokes and a skinny old man who was always tied up in a jail cell
i remember one episode in particular where to impress her dad the main girl i mentioned before dressed the bald kid up as an eagle in the competition being held at some point the kid was offered a worm he had to eat and the weird girl previously mentioned ate one too because why not
was similar to a rugrats type style in a way
i watched this show when i was young in 2010/11
