resolved An Anime about an Alien Baby Anime
I've watched this anime on Animax in the mid-2000s, and it's about an alien baby and his caretaker named Wanya crashing to a Japanese temple/dojo where two middle schoolers (a blonde girl and a brunette boy) live and take care of the house while their parents leave and do their business. Other characters include a little girl riding a training bicycle and a pink-haired girl who easily gets jealous and wrecks buildings whenever the two main characters seemingly flirt.
resolved Asking for someone on Twitter Anime
I'm looking for this anime where a girl with red, short hair that lives in the same house of a monster with a skull head. Do you know the name?
resolved [Solved] trio of monsters anime Anime
I remember watching this on animax, where these three monsters were born from one entity, there was a green skinned looking goblin, one wore a black trench coat and Fedora and the last was female and sorta looked like a vampire. They all want to be human, which they think they could achieve by helping humans.
Edited by Animaltamerresolved [Solved] Frog movie Anime
I remember watching this movie on animax that was about a girl in a dimension with frog rulers, where she has to get back home before the frog rulers' tadpole children become frogs or she's stuck there. Before she starts going, a teenage boy who claims that he's going to be reincarnated as her baby brother, goes with her. In the end she does manage to get back to where she wishes that her brother will arrive safely.
Edited by Animaltamerresolved Anime with a character resembling K′ from The King of Fighters Anime
I remembered reading an article here on TV Tropes about a specific anime (which may have been based on a manga or novel) which I believe was in the '90s or early '00s. I for the life of me can't recall what it was called, but I do recall that it has a female protagonist, she is accompanied by another similar to KOF's Kyo Kusanagi, and also that one major antagonist is someone who looked very similar to K′ (and his name is G). Apologies if this is not a lot to work with, but that is all I can recall about it. I thank anyone who will offer a response.
Edited by JesseMB27resolved [Solved] Red and blue anime hero Anime
I remember this anime where there were these two guys, one smart and one strong, who were not at all friends. Then at night something from their computers started to glow, with a female voice talking to them, making them heroes. The smart one was blue and the strong one was red. They fused and became a superhero, then stopped a villain. I only manage to remember watching it on dubbed channel with lots of other animes as well.
Edited by Animaltamerresolved Nazi/WW2 German Yaoi Manga/Manhwa with a Bishonen Protag? Anime
I swear blind that, in my random meanderings over this site, I stumbled across a page on a WW 2-set Boys' Love manga or manhwa that featured a Germanic Camp Gay Agent Peacock Bishonen as the protagonist - but I can't for the life of me remember what the title was. Anyone else there seen this page, or am I going nuts?
resolved No Title Anime
(I am submitting 2 queries for the same reason: to write examples for a particular trope. The trope in question is Fade Around the Eyes. I was originally going to put both of my questions under the same query and label it "Not Sure", but I felt it would be better to seperate them instead.)
My little brother used to love watching Yu-Gi-Oh! (the original series, I think. The one with Dan Green) on Netflix, and I would sometimes sit down and watch with him a little, even though I didn't really know what was going on.
I need help remembering one episode. I think it was the episode in which Marek first appears. It was definitely one of his first episodes. Anyway, at the end of the episode, the screen fades to black around his eyes.
If anyone knows, could you please tell me:
- What the name of the episode was
- What happened in that last scene
resolved No Title Anime
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I was casually surfing through the web, going through some anime-related sites and pages, and found a collage of 18 characters, each from a different series
. I would thank you perpetually if you could tell me who is the one in picture I, right under Son Goku. The character's design reminds me of the characters from Slayers and Lost Universe, but the character herself is very unfamiliar to me (can't tell whether it's because it's a character from those series but in an episode or season I never saw, or simply because it's from another series entirely). Thanks in advance, this curiosity isn't letting me sleep!
resolved No Title Anime
A manga about a girl named Enma, sent from the Japanese Celestial Bureaucracy to various places in time to yank people's skeletons out before they cause thousands of people to die. Over here it's simply called Enma, but I can't seem to find the English name (it's not Hell Girl, though Names The Same).
resolved No Title Anime
This is a dubbed anime I saw on TV maybe 2-4 years ago. I can't remember what channel it was on, but the visual quality of the show tells me it had to have been produced sometime after 2000.
The scene I saw was a teen/young adult male on a game show that risked the lives of its contestants. I don't mean like what is described in the Deadly Game trope — it seemed pretty similar to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire with the dim environment and single hot-seat gameplay, just that the stakes were much higher for some reason I'm not aware of.
In any case, it's a trivia game show (or at least that stage of the game show was a trivia game), and the scene was framed like watching an actual game show, with the character centered facing the camera and images overlaid in the corners to show information to the home audience. Whenever the character was unable to answer a question correctly, the answer appeared in a window in one of the upper corners (I think these were actually not translated). The only question I can remember being asked is (paraphrasing) "At what temperature is water the most dense?" and I think the answer that was shown is 4 (degrees Celsius, presumably). The character performs rather mediocre at this game and gradually becomes more stressed, even yelling out "I don't know!" in response to a question at one point.
Anyone have any idea what I might have been watching?
Edited by UltramarineAlizarinresolved No Title Anime
There was an anime I saw on Australian television when I was younger (early 1990s or thereabouts).
The main thing that sticks in my head was that there was a device that allowed a person to walk through solid objects like walls, but while you were using it you couldn't breathe because the air molecules didn't interact with you any more than the wall molecules did. I think one character got around it by wearing something like scuba gear, and there was a scene where the device was given to the hero's robot buddy because breathing wasn't an issue for him. I remember when one of the characters walked through a wall, while his eyes were inside the wall he seemed to be standing in a void full of swirling colours.
Does this sound familiar to anybody?
resolved No Title Anime
I remember seeing an anime movie awhile ago, but I didn't catch the title and only watched it for a few minutes. I think there was some sort of war going on, and the pilots were mid-to-older teen boys. I think they were stuck at that age, and they had to be in order to fly the planes. There was a girl who was their boss, I'm pretty sure she was a heavy smoker. She was also the mother of a little girl who came to visit, but the girl thought she was her sister. It had a sort of CGI style combined with the anime and the CGI was more apparent in the aerial scenes.

About a Canadian or American boy who died in an accident and his soul returning to earth where he has to share a body of a Japanese figure skater. One hint is that he was allergic to tomatoes.
