openAnime about an angel Anime
This was from a very long time ago.
I was at Fry's Electronics with my mother. She was look for a DVD of a specific anime, which I don't remember.
One of the series depicted a man and an angel. The man had black and I think glasses. The angel was a woman, dressed in the stereotypical gown, with wings. She had brown hair I think.
The striking thing was that rather than float above her body, the halo was supported by rusty/bloody metal beam growing out of her head.
There where two DV Ds with these two. One I don't remember. The other was the two in a prison cell. The man look panicked while Angel just stood there serenely, smiling at him.
The appearance of that Angel stuck with me all my life.
openCG giant robot comedy shorts on CN Anime
Back around 2007, I used the see these shorts about CG giant robots, can't remember if the backgrounds were 2D or what. Don't remember human characters. It played during Cartoon Network Brasil commercial breaks. Probably played throughout Latin America. They lived in the woods, maybe a scrapyard surrounded by woods. I vividly remember the brazilian title being "Robôbos", but the only thing I can find by that name is an old Three Stooges cartoon. There were about five robots, each a different color. Their bodies were similar in shape to Mazinger. Can't say if anime or just influenced by it.
openNun with a tank Anime
I only vaguely remember a cover art of what was either some manga/anime or JRPG. It featured a nun and some other character on top of a rather dieselpunky tank.
It kind of reminded me of Chrono Crusade, but there wasn't a tank, was there?
openSimilar to Dinosaur King but in another world Anime
It was some sort of childrens cartoon/anime, with a character design reminiscent of Dinosaur King. The main kid, a boy, had some sort of monster/creature like a pokemon or something. I remember in one episode, the creature ran in circles around a city to create a glass dome with layers of glass and something else to make a dome to protect it from a sandstorm or something. I am also pretty sure this show doesn't occur on Earth, but another univese/world, but I could be wrong. Not digimon, nothing that comes up under dinosaur.

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

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).
openAnime with wacky humor and multiple characters Anime
I'm not sure if it was a Shonen anime or Western animation. I only watched it once in TV, in the mid to late 2000s. It was dubbed to Spanish in this case. The plot was action-adventure oriented, with a group of main characters but I don't remember details. The only episode I watched was probably an early one, the group being in a field or a town.
There were two secondary characters who kind of joined the main group as allies, at least temporarily. One of them was an old man who was constantly doing dumb stuff in the background (maybe juggling or using a unicycle) and funnily saying "look at me, look what I do!" or something similar. The other character was a young man who also repeated a line in a similar fashion.
If I remember right, the main characters didn't pay much attention to those two men, as they were background comic relief or maybe just not plot-relevant. Despite the absurd humor, it seemed the series took itself seriously in some degree.
It's not Bo-bobo or Rave Master, but looked similar to them. Thank you!
Edited by combombopenNo 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!

I have this memory of an anime where the characters were all sleeping at night during one of the credits...
The anime in question had a guy with a strange doll and the credits end with the guy and the strange doll waking up to a new day.
