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 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 [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 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?

One time he wins a game where the players have to pick a leader by promising to pay all the other contestants if they vote for him
resolved Reluctant girl in a shrine Anime
I remember watching this anime on animax when I was young, it was about a girl in a family that owns a shrine. She can see spirits and can go to the spirit world, among the ones I remember are a trio of familiars, one was a little girl in a furisode outfit, and two animal-like ones, and another human sized spirit who sometimes possesses a friend of hers. At one point, when she touch her brother(?)'s money, the images turned into monsters, becoming worthless. At some point in one episode, she and her familiars were being chased by armed men, and she had a talisman that slowed down time around those people but she could move normally.
resolved Gatcha manga Anime
As the title says I'm looking a gatcha manga. It is not an isekai and it is set in the "real" world. The mc is incredibly stingy and lives with his two younger siblings. Somehow he gets acces to a gatcha machine that uses cash and he pulls a girl from it. I don't think it's action more comedy but the girl's solution to everything is to try and get the mc to use the gacha machine until he gets rare item that fits their situation while he makes her use cheap items that still get the job done instead
resolved shounen manga about magic weapons from god Anime
I'm looking for a manga people gets weapon from god as do demons. Humans level by fighting demons while demons get stronger by killing humans. The mc gets a lowranking sword while his childhood friend gets a powerful weapon and is immediately recruited by a party. The MC sets out on his own and it turns out his sword can steal the ability from other weapons, whether they are owned by humans or demons. I'm pretty sure his sword is described as being more like a demon's weapon than a human one
resolved Sick town origin story Anime
I remember this episode of an anime I caught while channel surfing, the main gist of it is that this pair of guys are trying to help the children of a town be cured of their illness, at one point trying to steal medicine (they get caught but a friend of theirs managed to get the medicine anyway). So the town gets the medicine, but a bunch of the kids sold their medicine so their parents could have food to eat. Pretty much all the kids die, I think the girl who helped them get the medicine also died? And one of the guys breaks because of this. By the end of the episode it was all a flashback and the guy who broke, now an antagonist (?) visits the other guy who was at the graveyard where all the kids and the girl are.
resolved Final Fantasy Series Anime with a frog episode Anime
I remember watching this episode of a Final Fantasy Series, where one character somehow got turned into a frog and needed a kiss to turn back to normal and warn the others of the ship. He managed to turn back to normal after narrowly avoiding getting eaten by a lady who wanted to eat him as a frog.
resolved 2 manga Anime
As the title suggest I'm looking for 2 manga.
The first one is about an mc who is given control over the worst part of a kingdom/empire and just wants to live as comfortably as possible. Since he is worried about an uprising he uses his healing magic (which I think only nobles have) on the populace and ends up being mistaken as the chosen hero who will lead the commoners and overthrow the corrupt nobles despite another character actually fitting the ideal better
The other one is an isekai. 2 kids get sent to a different world where one of them ends up with incredibly strong fire powers by imagining gas exploding instead of the normal burning wood others think off when using fire magic
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 looking for manga Anime
The manga was definitely created after 2015. It is about a bunch of artificial humans, one of which decides to protect the male mc from the others in exchange for him letting her eat him after his 18thteent birthday
resolved That infamous anime with the blonde girl with green ribbons, AND EYES TOO FAR APART? Anime
You will know as soon as you see her.
resolved What anime does this image come from? Anime
A friend of mine sent me this image, and neither of us know what it's from. To be clear, I can tell that it's a variation of the "I'm Not Calling You a Good Boy
" meme, but based on how the character dresses, I believe it's from an anime/manga. They found it on Twitter if that helps.
resolved Music anime I watched with my cousin several years ago Anime
So this is about to be the vaguest description ever but bear with me:
I swear it was a band anime of some kind, with the main love interests playing guitar and piano respectively.
The guitar guy was introverted and the piano girl helped him come out of his shell. There was one scene where the guy wrote a song for the girl and played it over the school intercom so she would hear it.
I also explicitly remember a scene where the girl tried to [play her instrument/write a song/something related to music] only to stop because of nervousness or something and say "nani?" I remember the nani part VIVIDLY but I can barely remember context.

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.
