resolved Press-ganged into Doing a Hero Show (SOLVED) Anime
Mid-2010s or later. Most likely Manga Time Kirara style.
I only watched the first episode or two. In the first one, the Four-Girl Ensemble go to a department store for some reason, but they get strong-armed into putting on a Tokusatsu show on the rooftop. It had a little stage with an audience full of kids, and the roof was surrounded by a chainlink fence like on a typical Japanese high school. I think the girls are aspiring actresses or something, and this is what lets the main character overcome her stage fright.
I thought it was either Hinako Note or Maesetsu, but it's not either of those as far as I can tell.
Edit: It was episode 4 of Aho Girl. I think I got it confused with Maesetsu or something too.

The anime is about a girl who falls in love with a Gentle Giant after he saves her from an sexual assault (I think).
Edited by StalkerGamerresolved Slice of Life Child Star Anime? Anime
When I was younger I was watching this show but I can't remember it's name. Here's what I remember about it.
- It's main female lead was a young girl, middle school age I wanna say. Generally upbeat and nice. I think she was an actress of some sort? I do know the main hook of the show was that she was a child star of some sort. - The male lead was around the same age. He was surprising edgy up to and including self harming which the female lead found out about early-ish in the series. I forget why he was doing that. - There was a tiny car featured either in the opening and/or in transition scenes. I think it was orange? - I think the female lead had a large family who generally were used for comedy? - The show had to have been released before 2016, I suspect it was released during the 2000s but am not certain on that. - I think it was also a very long series, 50+ episodes. - It might have been based off of a manga
resolved An anime that starts with a nameless student getting ran over Anime
I only saw the first episode, after which I got sidetracked by another show that was coming out at the time, and now that I've been reminded of it, I can't for the life of me remember what the series was called or what the actual premise was.
All I remember is that it heavily involves (if not outright revolves around) an Absurdly Powerful Student Council, and, early in the first episode, there's a scene where a random student is shown taking some apparently incriminating photos, only to be unceremoniously ran over by someone who was either a member of or was hired by said Student Council, all so they could retrieve and destroy said photos.
Edited by HyperKunoichiresolved Anime about fairies. Anime
What I remember of this one is that it was an anime about this small chibi fairies that helped human kids on their problems (it was not FOP). The male fairy had what looked like a blue pajama and his hat looked like Kirby's Bomb hat in the old games and the female fairy had pink hair.
Update: Solved as well. Answer was Mirumo de Pon.

Edited by dutchguy1986resolved Fighting on a cake (solved) Anime
I remember a scene of an anime about a 2 guys fighting over a cake...literally on a giant cake.
And I remember one has the power to transform sugar into electricity.
Edited by ElBuenCuateresolved Angelique Anime
An anime with a ridiculously, RIDICULOUSLY long title. I don't remember much, but the protagonist is a girl called Angelique. There was also a white haired guy with heterochromia that, with the exception of his eye color, looked exactly like her lost love interest (he had brown eyes). Angelique is chosen to a mission involving building/reconstructing an universe or something similar (as I said, I don't remember much) but didn't want to. Then something happened that made her change her mind.
Edited by Linfiaresolved old anime Anime
Okay this is a long shot but I'm talking about an English dubbed anime I watched in the Netherlands at some some point in the early nineties, though it is probably older than that. It is about a spaceship captain who has a ring that can somehow supercharge the weapons of the ship but it can be used once a day, one episode they used energy from the energies to make it look he was using his ring and scare the enemies of though that apparently almost caused the weapons to overheat and explode. Also in the opening the captain talks about how his best friend was kidnapped and brainwashed into becoming the villains'leader.
resolved An old anime show Anime
All i remember is that the Big Bad is a devil with one horn broken off, his minion is a Mushroom Man who gets around via a flying log and the heroes travel through various surreal magical kingdoms. I think one kingdom was full of Bee People and was hive themed.
resolved Identify the show Anime
In that show THE GREAT SPHINX OF GIZA nose will be destroyed by time travelers(they are group of few people) who try to save the past events from change. ( as a person tries to change past events in his favour)
Please identify the show.. Please. Please..

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.
