Edited by dutchguy1986resolved BNHA live action Anime
I remember seeing a video on Twitter about a BNHA-inspired live action sequence. In that video is a fight scene between two characters, and one of them has the ability to swap himself with an object, and fights by throwing around his backpack. Does anyone know where I can watch the whole thing?
resolved [Solved]Highschool student anime where guy gets possession powers Anime
I'm trying to remember the name of this anime where a brown haired highschool student is attacked by a white haired guy, who nearly kills him, but the brown haired guy ends up possessing the white haired guy before he actually gets killed. I think there was also mechas in the anime later on.
Edited by Animaltamerresolved Anime web series where people went into a shop and got sent to a surreal world Anime
So there's this anime I watched some years ago, probably made as a web animation officially posted on Youtube ect. It was relatively recent, likely from the early 2020s or possibly late 2010s.
The concept was about a woman running a shop, I think she was a witch or similar magic user, and each episode would have a new person come into her shop (either seeking it out or somehow finding it in weird places) and get sent to some kind of surreal world that would represent things about their life/current situation or something? I think each episode/world was also set to a different song with little to no dialogue from the characters. Pretty sure it had about 6-8 episodes.
resolved Mecha anime where the mecha is armor for the giant pilot Anime
I only saw a clip of it as described in title. There was a mecha in a hangar and it opened up more like armor revealing the pilot was a giant woman. I think it was discussed in the comments for the clip the pilot can also shrink down to normal size.
resolved Comedy Anime Vampire Anime
This was something I discovered on You Tube a few years ago that I intended to watch, but I've lost the name.
It was about a vampire with a female human assistant. He was kind of a goofball and she was kind of hot-headed, but wanted to be his girlfriend and (I think?) for him to drink her blood. He refuses, because drinking human blood made him aggressive. There were also two other humanoid monster people (at least I think they were) living with them; one was a girl who lived in a fridge. It's hazy, but I think they had some kind of job as detectives or monster hunters - I recall that because of seeing the female assistant trying to wake up everyone because they had a job and needed to get on the move.
From what I remember of the image quality and art style, it was definitely mid-1990s. Also the vampire guy had neck-length white hair and a dark cloak.
resolved old Werewolf anime film Anime
old (think 90s/80s) anime film about a woman who falls in love with a werewolf and has two kids, a daughter and a son, with him. the werewolf dies at some point, and the woman and her two kids move out into the country and work on a farm? the woman's daughter accidentally bites someone at school, and the son feels increasingly disconnected from his human side, eventually leaving the family at the end of the film.
resolved Idol show with a gorilla? Anime
No really the first thing that comes to mind about this anime is that one of the higher ups is an gorilla. But for more context: The anime is about three idols and their manger living in either space or a future world where I think aliens existed. I do remember the anime’s runtime was short but how long each episode was is a blur. That’s unfortunately about the only stuff I remember.
So does anyone know what the anime’s name was or am I the only person who remembers this oddity?
Edited by eirigfiresolved duo thief old anime Anime
I'm looking for an old anime, probably from around early 2000s or maybe late 90s. The main characters is a duo of a man and a woman, and they're some kind of thief. Each episode follows a different heist where they steal a specific MacGuffin. The reason they're doing this is because they were contacted by their boss or something, and the boss told them to get something important, but the connection cut off before the boss could tell them what it is and they just resorted to stealing everything and checking whether or not the MacGuffin they stole that episode was the right one or not. They always return the items if it's the wrong one.
resolved Card game Anime Anime
On Cheez TV or Toasted TV there was an Anime series that based around a card game sorta like Yu-Gi-Oh!
Elements I remember include
- Believe there four main characters
- The male hot headed boy protagonist
- Shorter glasses wearing boy who was The Smart Guy
- A girl who was friends with them
- A slightly ditzy girl who was new to the area and was mostly used to ask questions about the game so it could be explained to her and thereby to the audience
- Before each game the players would hold out their decks in front of them and shuffle them
- One game has the protagonist playing the game outside in near a waterway and some storm clouds start rolling in. The opponent points to the sky and makes a speech about how the storm is harbinger of his victory. The opponent gets exactly the cards he needs for his tactics and while the others are wondering how the ditzy girl points out that he swapped his shuffled deck for an unshuffled one while they look up at the storm clouds in the sky.
- The characters going through rooms beating top players until the come to a girl's room and while they are looking for the occupant, a phone starts to ring and the ditzy girl answers. It turns out it's the ditzy girl's room and she is the player, pretending not to know about the game for some reason I forget and have a game.
resolved I can't find the main anime page for Nijiiro Days Anime
I don't know what the dub name is but I saw a clip for the aforementioned anime on youtube but tvtropes doesn't appear to have a main page for it. Is this the right page to ask about this?
resolved Yokai/ghost hunters anime Anime
Anime about a guy and a girl solving supernatural incidents in close-to-modern-day Japan. The girl has a Glass Eye and artificial leg, sorta evoking the image of a Karakasa when she doesn't have them on.
resolved (Character) is having a bad day Anime
I remember a short japanese comic, in full color, with square only panels of the same size.
The comic follows the day of one character through narration. The first panel says (character's name I don't remember) is having a bad day.
The character is a middle-aged man that experiences a lot of misfortune through the day, which is portrayed in a Black Comedy fashion as him having terrible luck. He can't sleep because his wife snores, his lunch is terrible, he gets fired, he comes home to find out his wife's cheating on him, his son reveals he's failed the college entry exam, and the last panel's narration is "his adulterous wife is snoring in bed".
The comic is around one or two pages long - it might be a webcomic or a gag Gekiga. One panel I clearly remember is the son showing the tests results - the teenage boy is wearing a headband and is holding up a thick envelope, which is why I'm sure this strip is Japanese.
Does anyone know what comic that is, or who made it, where one could find it?
resolved 15 + year old anime Anime
Basic summary is that its about a woman who wants to destroy the world (I think she might wield a huge sword?), the plot twist is that the guy she's dragging along is actually an amnesiac god with the power to do so, and at the end she decides against it.
resolved Looking for an anime Anime
I only remember one scene, where a guy asks a girl why she's being so difficult, and she smiles and says, "Because you like me this way."
resolved Anime retelling of the console wars featuring Captain Ersatzes of Sega and Nintendo characters. Anime
Title says it all. I remember that pretty much everyone that wasn't human in their source material is humanized in the anime, that the protagonist is basically human-Sonic, that a Tails expy dies, that the intro features a humanized Kirby that doesn't appear in the show proper and that the main antagonist is a Mario expy.
resolved Kids' anime series about three ghosts. Anime
Somewhere in the 90's there was an series for kids featuring three little ghosts. One of them was a chef and a Big Eater, one was a girl and I don't remember about the last one. I also have a feeling that the series was divided into three arcs - one dedicated to each character, but I'm not completely certain.
Ring any bells? Keep in mind that the series is about 30 years old.
resolved Manga about collecting elemental people and also two brothers??? (SOLVED) Anime
So it's a manga about a girl who is like the princess of a kingdom or something. There's two brothers who vy for her affection and they're rivals. But something happens and she needs to collect a bunch of people who have elemental abilities to save the day?
There's also a plot point about, I think, the girl having a sister put in a coma and also one of the brothers did something evil but it's okay and he's forgiven. I ate that shit up when I was 14.
I think it's a 3-volume manga. I tried to find it at my local library but it wasn't there.
EDIT: I figured it out, it's Time Stranger Kyoko!
Edited by MissRobotoresolved Witch makes guy pull of panties scene? Anime
I haven't the first idea which anime it could ve, because I saw this long ago on Youtube.
What happened was that a guy and a girl were in some bedroom, discussing something. Then he couldn't control his body and stumbled about, before falling around and, somehow, grabbed her panties. Even though she had a skirt on, and then he sort of fell, pulling off her panties and seeing up her skirt.
He got a nosebleed, needless to say. I kinda remember there being a noise like a party horn, just a funny detail.
After that, the exposed girl quickly stepped off, and then she noticed another girl through her window. A witch with a voodoo doll, the one who had been controlling the guy. I dunno if she was out to steal underwear for something or just fooling around. There might've been a third person in the room with them. And I remember her visible crotch was obscured by a ray of light or such.
Can someone please help me, cause I just can't find it. Going crazy here. 🥲
Edited by Pepsilovin-pika

I remember watching this one anime about a group of survivors going up against these killer plants after they woken up too early from hyper sleep before the monster plants can even be taken care of.
I remember the plot but...I don't know the name.
