I'm pretty sure this is an anime of some sort, it was a short film I think, and all I remember was that the hero had to go into a tower where an evil shadow lived and that if the shadow attacked the hero's shadow it hurt the hero. That's all I remember, seeing Princess and the Frog recently reminded me of it.
I think it also came on a Dvd collection with an animated version of The Dancing Shoes and some story about a girl who goes into a goblin's castle to rescue a prince who was turned into an owl but while there she cannot say a word or she'll drop dead (wouldn't mind knowing what that one was either).

Probably a comedy, most likely after 2000. The scene I recall is a spoof of the first episode of Onegai Teacher when Kazami first enters the class she is teaching. However in this anime the teacher, instead of staring shyly, flips out and throws a desk at the students that tried to joke with her.

There's this anime about a teenage boy who's relative (sister or aunt maybe?) is either sick or simple abandons her little girl (preschool age) and the boy is such a good guy that he basically raises her. it's super cute and the little girl chants "onigiri" in the sing-song voice.

I have 2:
1. Anime with giant robots, and the main character is kind of nerdy and socially awkward. In the last episode all of the characters wake up on a beach, and as soon as they see they're all alive they start laughing. also, there was an arcade game that would help them control the robots or something, I don't know. If it helps, this aired on g4 when they still had their anime block.
2. A video game which involves being a mosquito.

This one has been bugging me for years, and I just can't figure it out. I believe the film was anime of somekind, and it involved an innocent girl who starts the film in a wheel chair. And there is some kind of evil thing that sits on a throne in some other place trying to destroy her. He has minions who makes out of grubs in a bowl near his thrown and tries to stop the girl from doing something, not sure what. There is also some kind of world change or something and the girl can walk in this other place. Any ideas?

Randomly I remembered this anime I watched at anime club but can't seem to find it again. It was a space mecha show that ended with the girl pilot getting lost in space after the battle. When she finally returned to earth they lit up the city lights with a welcome message for her even though it was years and years later. It had to be a 90s anime since they played a part of the dvd that had a character give backstory or something and as she went through the planets she appeared in the outfits of the Sailor Moon girls for each. Please help as my google skills are failing me today!

I'm pretty sure this is an anime dubbed in English that I'm looking for. I remember it from when I was very young, so the mid-eighties. The premise is a town in the countryside full of animal families, most (if not all) consisting of parents, a son, and a daughter. The focus is on the rabbit family, I think. The girl bunny had a pink dress and a bow on one ear.
It had a toy house line to go with it that I saw even years later in catalogs. I have the Post Office building, with (plastic) stained-glass carrot window over the front door, that I got from a yard sale. You could purchase the families as sets, but I can't remember any of the other animals outside of raccoons.
I know it's very little to go on, but it has really been bugging me.

I might as well bring this up to see if someone here can prove to me if this memory is from a real experience or was just made up by my brain somehow. I could have sworn I saw a certain scene from either of the Bible-themed shows Superbook and Flying House. In this scene there was a large gathering in front of a stage, and my memory says Jesus was standing at the back with some soldiers, and a large crowd gathered in front; for me it's reminiscent of the Pontius Pilate scene in the Bible. There's some guy with some rank/prestige standing center stage, wearing a shiny (silver?) robe, who was laughing and showing it off to the people. Out of nowhere came a small spider which climbed on the unsuspecting man's leg and bit him. The man instantly died, apparently from poisoning. I have never encountered a Bible story like this. Maybe Jesus wasn't there; maybe it was some other Biblical character; or maybe it all came from a different show that may not have anything to do with the Bible. So if anyone here has encountered such a scene from an animated work, please let me know so that I can put my mind at ease. Thanks for listening!

I believe this was an anime, but I'm not sure. It was about movie length or so and judging from the quality, I'm guessing it originated in the '90s.
It was about a community of animals, similar to Watership Down and The Animals of Farthing Wood, except that it took place in a marsh or swamp. The cast consisted mainly of anthropomorphic frogs and such. Anyone could die—young, old, male, female, mainly because of a group of villains who bullied the town. It was very traumatic for me to watch at the time since I was a kid.

Sometimes I see this thing in AM Vs, so I'm pretty sure it's from an anime...
It contains a scene where a bathroom stall opens up to reveal a clown-ish looking guy making this weird noise... roughly "breeeee". He may or may not have been wearing a sailor costume (not like that)

Magical Girl series, where there's three girls and each has a psychic power. Don't remember much more after that.

I'm trying to find out where this image (http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/being-perverse-is-bad.jpg)
is from. All I've found is that it's an H-movie, and the character pictured is Nina. I'm not certain, though.

I've been looking for an anime movie/short series for a while. It's about a boy (blue yes, black hair, lanky) who discovers that he's half-alien and has to save his mother/girlfriend/family from his alien counterparts, who want to use him for....something. He's chased by two other half-aliens (a brother and a sister, who, for some reason, I think were faternal twins), and there's sexual tension between both the girl half-alien and the the Main half-alien character, as well as between the the brother and sister.
The secene that stands out in my mind is where they corner the Main Character, and he uses a glove (yes, a *glove*) to access some kind of magic/technology to knock them both out. Then, the Aliens come and demand the Main Character goes with them because the "glove has chosen you". He refuses, and fights them off, only to be left on the ground (knocked out) when the half-alien girl wakes up, steals the glove from the aliens, and uses it against them before the glove starts to break her hand.
It was on in the 90s-I want to say early to mid (1990-1997)-and I know it part of a larger series/broken-up movie. It was on either on Syfi (during their anime mondy special) or on Fox (about 9:30-11:00 pm).
Does this sound familer to anyone?

This new anime I watched at a convention but can't remember the name... It was about a girl who goes to a boarding school and she and her brother are vampires, but it wasn't vampire knight. There was a scene where her brother was playing some kind of board game with another guy, where they pulled cards and had to do whatever the card said no matter what. The nonvampire guy's card said "the player must accept what happens next." Then the vampire chick's brother pulled one that said he had to stab his hand with a sword, so he stabbed his hand and showed the other guy that he could heal.
