I'm trying to find an anime where one of the characters was a boy that had a career as a j-pop idol or female model.
Also anyone can use this thread if they need help finding an anime or manga their looking for.

[Guthix]

y u no post this **** in last post wins -_-?

[Thetruecrow]

Gravitation?

[regnier]

princess jellyfish?

[hosokawa37]

a screenshot or two would help lol

[Neomalysys]

As for not posting in last post wins I just figured I wasn't the only one who couldn't find certain anime's and manga's so there should be a thread for it. Also I can't find any pic's it's been about a year since I first found the show and I haven't been able to locate it now that I have the hard drive space to watch it.

[Guthix]

-_- you better hope it lives

[glory of llama]

It's not featured in any of the Hells or minis? That's how I remember a lot of my anime lol.

[Kaiju]

I have to concur with Reg, it sounds a lot like Princess Jellyfish.

[hosokawa37]

i dont think the guy had a career as a female model; he'd just likes to cross-dress i thought lol. its been a year since ive seen it lol

[Neomalysys]

Yeah it's not Princess Jellyfish. I think it was actually a high school drama.

[Spider0042]

Maybe we should place bets on 'Princess Princess' (ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6467)) (Images (http://www.google.com/search?q="princess+princess"+anime&tbm=isch))
Guy joins a weird school which makes him their 'hime' which means he has to become the schools idol and dress beautifuly and act as a female for them. This sounds about like what you're describing. If not I have a few more guesses, but none are as solid of a match as Princess Princess.

[Neomalysys]

It's not Princess Princess although thanks for reminging me of that one. The strange thing about the show I'm looking for is that I first found it while looking for yuri and shojo-ai.

[jinzo64]

maybe it's birdy the mighty.

[Corpsey]

mariaholic?

[Neomalysys]

Starting to look like a lost cause oh well. Anyone else need help finding an anime or manga.

[ThePsychoGamer]

Maybe you could give us some details on memorable scenes, character appearances, or unique character traits

I have one. Only got to watch the first 15-20 minutes or so (it was somebody else's tape) several years ago, just remembered it reading this thread.

Would have been a 1990's anime movie(?), art style reminded me of Akria (definitely not Akira), and what I remember of the story was Country A gets invaded and pwned by Country B, martial law is declared. The hero and his friends from Country A are your 'standard Japanese biker gang who's actually not that bad' and meet up with a woman (female lead?) who recruits them into a resistance movement and they blow up a Country B tank guarding some kind of stadium. That's about all I saw.

[Neomalysys]

Yeah the problem with mine is I found an article about it but I wasn't able to acquire it at the time and now that I can I don't remember the name.

[bonehimer]

Is it Maid Sama? The character is called Aoi.

Good description. Were they 'futuristic' like armored bikes or the standard bikes as we know them? From you're description I don't think you could be describing anything but Venus Wars (wiki (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus_Wars)) (Images (https://www.google.com/search?q=venus+wars&biw=1364&bih=674&um=1&tbm=isch)). Country A and Country B could be Earth, or the two groups on Venus, but you've pretty much described everything as matching. (Sample (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aGYjEqXjI0#t=0m43s)) If that's not it, is there anything that doesn't match there?

http://maid-sama.wikia.com/wiki/Hyoudou_Aoi
Oh, ha. Kaichou wa maid sama completely escaped me upon first thoughts. That's a good guess especially given Aoi's exposure in the first several episodes.

Check the other's most recent suggestions, but here's a quick dump of things that came to mind, some have since been mentioned. Don't be discouraged by a large number of missed guesses when there's not much to go by we'll be grasping for straws for a bit, but responses like ('actually more highschool drama') will eventually help narrow things down a bit.

Sure it's not Gravitation (ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=624)) (Images (http://www.google.com/search?q=gravitation&tbm=isch)) ?
Guy is trying to become a singer (idol?) Often crossdressing or wearing female style clothing. Highschool drama kinda rules that out a little though I suppose. (with the addition of yuri, that rules this one out then :p )

Maybe.. Paradise Kiss (ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=5081) (Images (http://www.google.com/search?q="paradise+kiss"+anime&tbm=isch))
There's one character thats a trap but for some it may not be obvious, so I don't want to (spoil (http://www.google.com/search?q="paradise+kiss"+anime&tbm=isch)). Either way, all are working to be come models, but main character is female. Look at the characters in the images link and see if they look familiar?

Probably not Maria Hollic (ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=10200) (Images (http://www.google.com/search?q="Maria+Hollic"&tbm=isch))..
since it's not really about becoming an idol/singer. (since been recommended by Corpsey, so maybe it's not off the mark)

Again no idol but Otome wa Boku ni Koi****eru (ANN (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=6619)) (Images (http://www.google.com/search?q="Otome+wa+Boku"&tbm=isch))..
since it has a trap with a goal requiring lots of focusing on behaving like a female in order to graduate from all girls school. Never watched it.

I guess that description rules out Strawberry Eggs due to the lack of idol/model.

Hope that helps. If not if anything comes to mind we'll keep firing away.

[Neomalysys]

Thanks Spider I've tried those already and none of them are it.At least I'm getting reminded of some stuff I passed up a while back. Yeah all I remember is that one of the characters is a guy who is famous as an idol and has his career ended when the press find out he's a guy. Also it's a high school drama/romance possibly with yuri. I remember finding it a while ago when I was searching for yuri show's I hadn't heard about.

[Corpsey]

Am I being considered a reliable source, or an enigma?
Sasameki Koto?

[Neomalysys]

Corpsey you are ****ing awesome thank you. Taht was the show I was looking for.

[Gleeman]

Hmm that was it, thanks! :D

Edit: Yep, that's it, found the tank scene: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mBhrStQOZFs

(Version I saw was the English Dub though)

[Spider0042]

glad to help, Gleeman.

gg corpsey :) All clear!

[Distict5-9]

All right, all you Bleach fans out there... Just which one of the billion of non-canon episodes is it that Iba (http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Tetsuzaemon_Iba) has to go to the bathroom, and ends up finding only a telephone pole?

[jinzo64]

it's sounds like a shinigami golden sketch.

it's the little sketch at the end of the bleach episodes.

Season 4 Episode 12 - the Bount Arc
Iba is running through the streets as he is looking for the restroom. Komamura appears and tells him where it is. Iba goes there to find a little dog peeing on a pole. Iba thinks about the captain, and no longer is able to hold the feeling in. Next to him, Zaraki and Ikkaku wonder what's wrong from inside the restroom.

i hope this helps.

can i ask why you wanted to know this.

[Distict5-9]

Oh God yes... Thank you jinzo... I've been looking for that episode for weeks...!

And, regarding why I'm need it, I was planning to use it in a skit...

[jinzo64]

i see
i thought that might be it
but i didn't have that fought until a day later.

oh and your welcome.

[glory of llama]

Since others are also posting their "trying to find"s-

I only remember vague parts of it. A group is going on vacation of something, I just remember they're together somewhere like a hotel or airport or spaceport or something, at any rate in the end the two main dudes have some kind of epic battle on a moonscape (I don't know if it was actually outerspace or a moon it just looked alien) for the girl I think, or maybe they were fighting together against something else for the girl?

Ugh, I wish my memory on this wasn't so horribly spotty with the details. It wasn't mecha or anything like that, if anything it was similar to Urusei Yatsura. Was there a movie/episode of that where something like this happened? vague magic/alien powers/technology were used in the fight, I believe. But otherwise it had just been about that group of friends together, I think maybe they were surprised they met each other in that hotel/airport/spaceport?

DAGGONIT lol... this has been bugging me for almost a decade now. I think I saw it back in the mid-90s, on the sci-fi channel back when the sci-fi channel wasn't available to everyone and wasn't called syfy. So it's a vaguely old anime/movie like urusei yatsura. I wish I had more identifying details... literally none of the stuff I remember can be googled to any effect lol

[Haar]

I'd say Infiinte Ryvius, but seeing as that's hardly old...

[1-13R3T1K]

I'm not sure if it meets all of the above but off the top of my head could it be: Irresponsible Captain tylor :P

[glory of llama]

I don't think those were it, but irresponsible captain tylor looks hilarious lol might have to add that to my to-watch list!

hmm.... infinite ryvius is kind of interesting also... heh, and I was worried about falling behind on NEW anime, of course I should go back and watch old anime, heh

[Haar]

I don't even bother trying to keep up with new anime. Except for the occasional episode of whatever's airing where I live. Nor do I try to read ongoing manga. Except for maybe Yugioh 5D's and Claymore.

If it actually aired in the sci fi channel it shouldn't be too hard to find.

[Neomalysys]

Doesn't sound like Galaxy Express 999 but maybe it was shone on SciFi back in the day.

[Leef]

If it is related to urusei yatsura then my guess is Outlanders
