SAILOR MOON!

[sakuraslight]

nope in sailor moon the cats have a big crescent moon on there head

kinda sticks out like a saw thumb

[Anonymous]

This is probably wrong but the color is making me think Haibane Ranmei.

[Anonymous]

For some reason, I think it's Grave of the fireflies?

[sakuraslight]

Haibane Ranmei is correct your turn please post with names it slightly easer ^^

[ousatsu]

Since my mind was on cats.

Negima!

[Rynzech]

Seems to be Negima!?, as I don't remember seeing this scene in the first anime.

[sakuraslight]

Negima! spring OVA i think

[Daoutsida]

Its just Negima!? TV by Shaft/Grant

Negima the first series by Xebecs

http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/2622/vlcsnap188065cj0.png

[Rinoa]

Shoot, I'm not sure which of the two it is, but I'll guess... Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust?

[Rynzech]

Indeed

:wink:

[Rinoa]

Yay, I got it! Alright, here's a snap from one of my favorites:
http://revivify.net/linkim/vlcsnap-1609207.jpg

[Daoutsida]

im thinking Paranoia Agent

[Daoutsida]

Waaaa game flaw it can't continue until Rinoa tells me if im right

[Rinoa]

You're right, it is indeed Paranoia Agent.

[Daoutsida]

You're right, it is indeed Paranoia Agent.

[Daoutsida]

there we go

[Daoutsida]

maybe a little too easy

[Daoutsida]

Waa not even a guess yet? does nobody know or are they just not playing cause its a pretty easy one. >.< this scene is the start of every episode where they tell you not to sit to close to the TV and watch in a well lighted room.

[Anonymous]

I'll take a wild stab and say School Days, since people seem to be talking about that one lately.

I only get to see what anime I or my library buy on DVD...

[Inkwolf]

Sorry, that was me. (Registered now)

[HavocShoui]

Hayate no Gotoku, right?

[Daoutsida]

Hayate no Gotoku, right?

Correct ^_^ Hyate no Gotoku

I would have also accepted Hayate the combat butler since thats what its called in the states. *fyi very good anime ^_^*

[Daoutsida]

opps mis spelled Hayate the first time i typed it lol

also HavocShoui your turn to post a pic ^_^ hehe

[HavocShoui]

http://es21fr.free.fr/site/es21/goodies/shots/01/12.jpg

Anyone familiar with the show will get this instantly...

[Daoutsida]

haha well i'll guess Bobobo bo-bo-bobo

[Hebi]

Eyeshield 21!

[Daoutsida]

lol you seem pretty conident Hebi so i guess you get to post the next screen shot ^_^

[Hebi]

Yup, it reminds me I need to watch more of that. Here goes...

http://www.geocities.com/waofy/vlcsnap-67044.png

Might be a bit more difficult since it's from a slightly oldish anime.

[HavocShoui]

Just confirming, Hebi's correct. ^_^

[Hebi]

Yey! :D

Any guesses yet? *worries it might be too hard*

[Inkwolf]

The ones I know always pass before I can guess...

But thanks for the awesome screenshot of Hiruma! I've been wanting one! :D

[Senpai]

I know that one! It's from "The Irresponsible Captain Tylor," one of my favorite anime of all time!!!

I'm not registered, so someone else can post a new screencap for me.

http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/6194/amvhellgamesnapshoteo3.png

[Daoutsida]

Well if its a decently recent Baseball anime my guess would be Ookiku Furikabutte

[Filleraol]

nope ;)

[Daoutsida]

hmm then is it Major? i don't watch baseball anime though i know a few lol

[Filleraol]

Hehe, Major is correct...it's a really great anime^^ your turn:P

http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d109/RayDaMann/80225744_0c7404d3d0_o.jpg

[Daoutsida]

waa? we stopped playing lol no one gonna guess ^_^

[DshARK]

I'll try with Love Hina.

[Daoutsida]

I'll try with Love Hina.

Close I'll give you a Hint (Same author "Ken Akamatsu" as Love Hina wrote this anime)

[Tel Janin]

A.I. Love You?

[Aleciel]

Always my santa

[Spider0042]

Always my santa

I can confirm this for sure. Its probably ok to continue if you have an image in mind.

[Aleciel]

http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b248/Uriko002/MirmoZibang.jpg

I don't like being easy.

[Spider0042]

Selfish Fairy Mirumo :wink:

Needs the rest to be subbed T_T

(or rather thats right, I guess I don't want them enough to buy the rest. :/ )

[Aleciel]

Selfish Fairy Mirumo :wink:

Needs the rest to be subbed T_T

Sounds like an interesting anime.

But this isn't that!

[Spider0042]

my memory she fades!

I'm looking but I don't believe I have anything. The only titles that might be close that I haven't watched all of I don't believe are it.

I know its not hidamari sketch, and definatly not kamichama.

If I don't find it by the end of my list I probably have no other guesses.

[Spider0042]

Ok, the only other one in my recent titles that comes anywhere near close in art style is mahoraba, but I don't believe I've meet this character.

So I guess my guess is, mahoraba?

[Daoutsida]

Always my santa

I can confirm this for sure. Its probably ok to continue if you have an image in mind.


well im confirming the confirmation since i posted it lol Its true ^_^ Always my Santa

[Aleciel]

Ok, the only other one in my recent titles that comes anywhere near close in art style is mahoraba, but I don't believe I've meet this character.

So I guess my guess is, mahoraba?

You were close, It's actually Mahoraba: Heartful Days.

A very underestimated anime if I say so myself.

Your pick.

[Daoutsida]

Spider come back you won >.< now you need to post a screen shot lol

[DshARK]

Spider come back you won >.< now you need to post a screen shot lol
Maybe a time limit should be made :D

[Atasuke]

6 hours seems fair, don't ya think?

[Spider0042]

You were close, It&#39;s actually Mahoraba: Heartful Days.

A very underestimated anime if I say so myself.

Yeah, I&#39;d been putting it off for a while and just recently got around to watching it. I&#39;m only 3 or 4 episodes in, I&#39;ll probably start back up again sometime soon. ^_^

As for &#39;Selfish Fairy Mirumo&#39; I wouldn&#39;t say the same (not worth buying to me) :/ &#39;Bottle Fairy&#39;, &#39;Risky Safety&#39;, and &#39;Shinigami no ballad&#39; are better shows if you are looking for cute/fun child like shows. (Bought the first two, own the art book for the last title even though the show is so-so as compared to others.)


Ok. This one is somewhat obscure, but I&#39;d assume more people have watched it then some of the other ones I&#39;m considering.

Hint: its short and only one part. And if you&#39;ve seen it you probably know what it is.

Graah.. site is changing before my eyes >_<

Wow, I barely remember reading the comic book years ago.
http://img240.imageshack.us/img240/6600/1941091ku7.jpg

Well, here my entry :)

[Spider0042]

Tsukihime.. Kinda looks like Arcueid.

(Images of Melty Blood are much more vivid for me the Anime because I play it too often. >_< So I&#39;m not sure about it... and I&#39;m at a club meeting so I cant check now.)

Wait a second ... Something more recent .. scratch that ..
Make my vote for Claymore

Hey, you got it =)

I remember playing Melty Blood on PC and was pretty fun also =)

[Spider0042]

I apologize in advance for this one, because it might be a bit difficult if you haven&#39;t seen it (not sure how many have), but I&#39;ve been wanting to use/introduce it to the AMV Hell community. ^_^

It&#39;s Dogtato-kun. Easy. ;D

[Spider0042]

Correct!
Readily available, though probably not often watched.

My hint was going to include "It&#39;s a kids show! Where is you mind!" ;)

Go for it.

(If you don&#39;t have anything in mind just say &#39;pass&#39;, and it will be up for grabs. The first person to read it can take over.)

[Esc]

I have a screenshot ready on my hdd. I made it for other purposes but it&#39;ll do just fine. Behold for the man with a long one!

http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/5660/ttglzu4.jpg

[Phatpug]

God, I don&#39;t know any of these. I feel like I don&#39;t know anything about anime. Heh heh, compared to you guys I don&#39;t

[Esc]

God, I don&#39;t know any of these. I feel like I don&#39;t know anything about anime. Heh heh, compared to you guys I don&#39;t

I understand you feelings. I played this game with some girls. And I didn&#39;t know any of those cute boys at all! I was like "Come on, we don&#39;t watch anime to look at THAT (http://img117.imageshack.us/img117/4334/0901915616ac1.jpg)! Bring on the carnage! Or some boobies at least." :D :D :D

(Btw, if anyone helped me with the link provided above, i&#39;d be very grateful. That image is still in game.)

Well that?s Kamina from Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann for the game image...
As for the other one ... ^_^ not sure I&#39;ve seen it and if I have, I probably didn&#39;t finish it :/

Looks somewhat like Takumi Mayama from Honey Clover, but the hair style (and color for that matter) aren&#39;t quite right.

If something comes to mind I&#39;ll let you know, but its not looking likely.

I&#39;m going to jump ahead because I&#39;m pretty sure the image for the game is Gurren Lagann.

How about a more recent one (as in newer then my last image):
http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/9698/snapshotiv8.jpg

Hint: Aired within the past two years.

[Inkwolf]

I think it&#39;s safe to say nobody knows.

[Spider0042]

Yeah I was planning on adding another image tonight that would be more obvious. (Been busy recently and forgot to add the new image this morning.)
If in a day no one gets it I&#39;ll either give it up or put up a different anime.

Other two main characters:
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7256/hintspacefq0.jpg
Old Hint: within the last two years -> narrow that to the last year
Big Hint: Think Space (should make guessing pretty easy)

Expired : No Guesses

_________________________________________________

Ok, not sure if anyone&#39;s read the new info above, but lets try another one.

New Contest Image (Different Anime)

http://img70.imageshack.us/img70/8317/mayonnaiseup1.jpg

Big Hint: You have seen part of this anime very recently.

If no one gets this in 2 or 3 days then I&#39;ll post to say &#39;I pass&#39; it off to someone random.

[Zarxrax]

Afro-ken.

[Spider0042]

Afro-ken.

Right.
If you have a screen shot then go for it. If not, just say &#39;pass&#39; and someone random can pick it up.

[Zarxrax]

This is a little-known series, so I picked a pretty easy shot from it.

[Filleraol]

is it just me who can&#39;t see any picture? :-[

[Inkwolf]

Not just you. ;D

[Zarxrax]

See it now?

[Spider0042]

See it now?

Nope, still can&#39;t see it. :-\

I&#39;ve been using bbcode in this format to embed images:

http://image.url
(Can&#39;t remember if IMG=http://image.url] fails or not.)

Not sure why you might see it, but not us .. makes me wonder.
The preview-view will show bbcode/bracketed tags if they dont work.
If it was html style tags then I thought they didn&#39;t get parsed out, and instead the &#39;<&#39; chars would be displayed. Whatever you used is being removed on post, or display of the post. (Nothing in the html generated for me)

[Zarxrax]

Ok, im pretty sure you should see it now. I posted it as a file attachment on the post. It&#39;s just an issue with the permission settings... theres so many different permission settings for this board, they were conflicting i guess.

[Adrian DX]

ayup, at least the pictures working now... too bad I cant recognize the series...

I&#39;m gonna guess DotHack =P

[Inkwolf]

Ghost Stories, AKA Ghost Stories In School!

EDIT: Gakkou no Kaidan in Japanese.

Remember when Christian Slater had a career? :p (Evil dub!!! Just finished watching that series.)

[Zarxrax]

Yep, I&#39;m surprised someone got that :p
I didn&#39;t know it had been released in america though, I thought it was still just an unknown fansub.

[Inkwolf]

Yeah, ADV put it out. They did something weird with the dub, though--instead of translating it directly, they made a strange comedy dub, with lines like, "I&#39;m crying because these pajamas are so gay!" and "Why do all Principals look like lesbians?" and stuff. Very funny, but if you compare it to the original, correctly-translated subtitles, they kinda butchered it.

http://home.earthlink.net/~inkwolf/6067269.jpg

[Inkwolf]

I&#39;m going to be out of range of the internet all day in Grandparentland, so I&#39;ll drop a hint now.

It was another ADV release, with a western theme.

[Spider0042]

That makes it a bit easer. My friend once demoed the second game for me.

Yeah.. the main character had blue hair.. which is about all the info I had remembered that might have helped.. which obviously wouldn&#39;t have sparked any ideas. >_<

I&#39;ll wait on posting the title until tomorrow afternoon (~13 hours), just to give it some time. If someone else gets it in the mean time, then go for it.

I&#39;m prety sure its &#39;Wild Arms&#39;, though I never watched a full episode of the anime.

Next image:

http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/6889/nakedmangg6.th.jpg (http://img80.imageshack.us/img80/6889/nakedmangg6.jpg)
(Image chosen from one
of the subbed episodes.)This anime was only partially fansubbed, and then released by a company which does not typically release animated titles.

Other then the Anime, the manga also spawned a live action tv show.

Edit - Hints:

More, &#39;Revealing&#39; Screen shots ...

Protector of the Workplace

(He&#39;s a &#39;Salaryman&#39;)

The script writer also wrote the script for &#39;Kimagure Orange Road&#39; (Don&#39;t be fooled, it is a Drama though it might not be listed as such.)

[Inkwolf]

You&#39;re right. it as Wild Arms. :)

Hmmm...I&#39;ll guess randomly, Fist of the North Star.

[Spider0042]

You&#39;re right. it as Wild Arms. :)

Hmmm...I&#39;ll guess randomly, Fist of the North Star.

Nope, but like kenshiro his character is portrayed as a badass. Though the character above is more of a &#39;manly man&#39;.

Edit:

Good guess though. Just edited the original post (http://amvhell.com/index.php/topic,610.msg4241.html#msg4241) to include a few more images.

Similar, but not quite GTO (it stands on its own). More of a modern Lone wolf and cub.

Also added info on the Script writer. Follow the link above.
(&#39;Salaryman&#39; is a big hint.)
_________________________________________________
OK, I PASS. Next Random person to claim it can post a New Screenshot. (Be sure to read the first post before playing.)

Ok. Then i&#39;ll go ahead and post a new screenshot. I hope this thread willget going again couse it&#39;s fun:)

[Inkwolf]

That&#39;s an awesome screenshot!

I don&#39;t know what it is, but great. :D

[tzxazrael]

Spider: "Salaryman Kintaro" !! (really awesome show)... too bad i&#39;m a bit late XD

as for the new one, it looks so familiar but i have no idea o.o;

[Filleraol]

Ok. a big Hint: The anime is from 2007 :o

[Spider0042]

Yeah, much easier when we know its rather recent.
I haven&#39;t actually checked the show out yet, so I wouldn?t have guessed it without the hint. I figured I&#39;d first finish Hidamari Sketch before attempting to start this one.

However, I don&#39;t have an image ready, and I need to nap before I leave for a competition in a few hours. (And will be busy for most of the day.)

To be fair, I&#39;ll wait and if someone doesn?t get it within the next few days then I&#39;ll make the post.

[Matt_Colly]

can i revive this dead thread with a simple screen?

http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/561/51084340va0.png

[Matt_Colly]

honestly...it&#39;s really easy

[Behemoth666]

i know this one, but unfortunally, i forgot the title of it,
but i?m sure i had seen this scene somewhere...

wahhh, please give a hint, or something

[Matt_Colly]

alright...there are three words in the title, one of which is the name of a female.

[Matt_Colly]

if that doesn&#39;t give it away, i dont know WHAT will...besides, you know, telling you.

[AMVP]

Uhhh.... it isn&#39;t that ShoujoKakumei Utena show, is it? (sorry, I can only remember the Japanese name.)

[Matt_Colly]

naw...think more along the lines of

december april october november july june march january august february september

[AMVP]

Hand Maid May?

[Matt_Colly]

Hand Maid May?


your turn AMVP

(that might have been TOO big of a hint huh?)

[AMVP]

Okay....

....uh, how do you put in pictures again?

[Matt_Colly]

haha. use image shack or some other hosting site, host it, then copy the direct link to image in the message body.

(if you cant do that then find one online, right click, properties, and copy the address (url) and paste it into the body)

dont make it TOO hard now, lol

[AMVP]

Look, I tried. I really did. I went to Image Shack, Photo Bucket, and the like, and I just couldn&#39;t find any decent screen shots. I also tried that thing with the url, but all that poped up was a link. I just don&#39;t.... don&#39;t.....
(pauses.... blinks..... moves cursor around some...... smiles)
hold on a minute. I&#39;ll be right back.

Naw, that&#39;s some pretty sharp shooting there, missy (or mister).

Now you go.

[Spider0042]

The uniforms, art style, and directing screamed &#39;Dead Leaves&#39; so I guessed immediately. Afterward I had to take a closer look at the main character because of the angle. I was hoping (?) a &#39;dril p0n15&#39; would have been in there for some reassurance >_>

I actually considered Dead Leaves and Offspring&#39;s &#39;When You&#39;re in Prison&#39; (for AMV Hell 4) except after thinking about it I scraped it without a second thought because I didn&#39;t immediately have anything allowing for something amazing that would hit hard. (ie. the direction would have had to make up for the songs I had, which wouldn&#39;t be worth the time.)

Ok, so here?s a shot from an anime that is probably better known. This way we might draw out the momentum a bit.

...IT&#39;S!... Monty Python Too! (http://img100.imageshack.us/img100/9092/montyjl5.jpg) (which might make it a bit easier if the first is not obvious).

(Randomly guess and I&#39;ll add some more images in response)...

...IT&#39;S . . .

[Matt_Colly]

sadly i am not familiar with this one...anyone got it?

[Spider0042]

... It&#39;s .. Rocky, It&#39;s .. Bruce Lee from &#39;Game of Death&#39;, It&#39;s .. &#39;Back to the Future&#39;, It&#39;s.. Jaws ... It&#39;s .. . ET (http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/3913/internationalmb7.jpg)?
(The jaws image doesn&#39;t do the scene justice -_-)

I believe you get the gist of it now.

It&#39;s a parody series. Not Excel Saga (which was great, though defiantly not everyone?s cup o? tea (http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/383/hellhr2.jpg)), but...

Everything&#39;s calm and cool till&#39; the end of the first episode, when suddenly, it looks like the main characters ate shrooms. ???

For the rest of the series, each episode visits a different &#39;genre&#39; of popular culture. Filled to the brim with parodies and references; the anime brings each genre into focus, creates an expos? of their ?appeals?, and all while occasionally subjecting the viewers to underlying themes and opinions.
Mostly,... its just zany and hilarious entertainment. ;D


Will they ever find their way back to reality? Do we care? Do THEY care?

Any guesses? All this info should ring bells or aid in the search.

Yes, it was .. it may have been the dimension/genre gate scene.

Try AMV Hell CE (http://amvhell.com/index.php?page=21) It was very early on.

Never mind.. >_<


Abenobashi Magical Shopping Arcade?

Correct.

_________________________________________________

The anime is parody based thus; the episodes can be hit or miss depending on the individual (viewer?s knowledge and personal preferences).

It?s not as random/insane (http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8297/hardcorekr8.jpg) as ?Excel Saga?, and there is a ?plot? which touches ?coming of age? (and a bit on the human condition and escapism), but that shouldn?t be the only motivation. Also beware, as the anime has a somewhat repetitive formula (http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/8417/wrongfs7.jpg), so one might need to take it in pieces over time.

I was turned away for a while (after about halfway), but revisited it and then finished watching the show. I defiantly laughed (http://img57.imageshack.us/img57/5692/indianagf3.jpg), and from time to time I re-watch select episodes with friends. That?s what you should get out of it.

Speaking of the Jaws reference... Here?s a sample:
(Reading could possibly spoil some of the fun, but it?s a decent representation)

A highrise building modeled after Die Hard, housing about a dozen or so characters, half of them naked, are tossing oxygen tanks at Jaws, who is riding towards them in a Tornado. Jaws eats about 30 something tanks, at which point everyone breaks out a machine gun and unloads, causing the building to partially blow up, sliding away like in Titanic, when the characters fall and bounce off the propellers, and... but you get the picture. It`s stupid, it`s insane, and I couldn`t stop laughing.

If you enjoy zany/parody based series then just take a look at some reviews.

(Oh, great seiyu, but the dub... Osakan&#39; => Suthern? US accent T_T )

... IT&#39;S ! ...

MOE !

[AMVP]

I haven&#39;t seen the show, but I thought the manga was really good.

But I digress...

http://animeclick.lycos.it/prove/serie/PerfectBlue/PerfectBlue6.jpg

[jak5255]

lol, I have that series (haven&#39;t watched it yet though).
I even thought about suggesting it, but decided not to.
Saw the bruce lee picture and didn&#39;t think that was from abenobashi......stupid me.



Ok, if people are still around we?ll speed things up a bit...

Yes, it was .. it may have been the dimension/genre gate scene.

Try AMV Hell CE (http://amvhell.com/index.php?page=21) It was very early on.


Oh, so that were I have it from.( been too long since i watched that one)

[Spider0042]

ok, so I didn&#39;t recognize the most recent image .. or at least I don&#39;t believe I did.

The closest one I&#39;m thinking of (which I have seen multiple times) doesn?t have a manga (at least I&#39;m pretty sure), and wasn&#39;t a tv show.

But still, the scene (and maybe coloring.. actually defiantly the animation and coloring) do seem awful familiar. It&#39;s just been a while since I&#39;ve seen it. So instead...

Pet Shop of Horrors ? (which I also, never ended up watching)

Problem is, I believe I&#39;ve seen this image in a review for the other title.. but I can&#39;t seem to find it to be sure.

If this isn&#39;t correct I might try the other guess.

[AMVP]

No, not "Pet Shop..". Sorry.

Who&#39;s next?

[Spider0042]

Well, my other guess would be Perfect Blue. The animation is about right, but I can&#39;t remember that scene, though it still feels like there was a review or something which I specifically remember seeing and saying &#39;wait, is that Perfect Blue&#39; Then saw it was a review of it. :-[

There was a book before it was a movie so it might be right after all. It&#39;s also the only anime that I&#39;ve seen that might be right (the other potentials that I&#39;ve seen I know aren&#39;t correct). Maybe its been too long since I&#39;ve seen it. :P

Oh, and if I&#39;m right and I don&#39;t post a response 12 hours after the confirmation then someone random can take over.

[AMVP]

Survey Says...

Perfect Blue!

(now it&#39;s your turn.)

[Matt_Colly]

Well, my other guess would be Perfect Blue.



make it a good one!

[Spider0042]

I know of at least one individual (actually two) which should be able to id this one...
(and considering the AmvHell crowd. Probably a few more )

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/2152/ichigodf8.jpg

And, this should make it easier (http://img229.imageshack.us/img229/3518/honeyvl3.jpg) (and harder) ;)

Also, this title&#39;s debut was fairly recent.
(And if you know you have it, then go ahead and start the next one.)

[AMVP]

I don&#39;t know, but the art style is really interesting. Eager to find out what it is.

[jak5255]

I have that series, but I can not for the love of god remember the name...(haven&#39;t really started watching it, but I know it&#39;s the one)
Can&#39;t check anyway, because all my anime is on my desktop computer and I only got my laptop now xP

[beriorgar]

i&#39;m guessing ichigo 100%

[Spider0042]

Nope, the strawberry is only used to bring out &#39;the best&#39; of the character. :P
(exploiting the character&#39;s design for entertainment purposes)

If you hadn&#39;t seen ichigo 100%, then it was probably worth the guess.
(Hadn&#39;t see ichigo 100% myself, and never read the manga though a friend did.)



I have that series, but I can not for the love of god remember the name...

That?s one down.. at least for now. Someone guess it before jak5255 finds it! :D

Just a late confirmation on that one. Zetsubou Sensei it is.

As for the latest shot, I&#39;ve never seen the characters in the foreground.
Bah. Not sure about the blurry one on stage, might be able to id it with that character, then again maybe not. (Still, if its something I&#39;ve seen, I haven&#39;t watched all of it).

[beriorgar]

i&#39;m thinking keroro gunso

[AMVP]

Awww... right on. Man, I thought this one would at least last me a few days. (the Sgt. Frog animes haven&#39;t caught on in the states yet, have they? I don&#39;t know).
Anyway Beriorgar, it&#39;s your move now.

[beriorgar]

this one shouldn&#39;t be that hard
http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd99/beriorgar/screenshot01.png
if you have seen this anime, you&#39;ll recognize it right away

[Spider0042]

Flat head looked really familiar (his head/hair and drawn eyes), but I wasn?t sure if I&#39;d seen the anime (maybe it was something older that I&#39;d forgotten). Or something I haven&#39;t seen yet.

The ribbons remind me of &#39;Da Capo&#39;, but I didn&#39;t remember them from the game (which I didn&#39;t finish playing) and I never really watched the anime.

Based on flat head I&#39;d have to guess Kannon, which I possess but have yet to watch.

Hint: Someone playing this game might have seen this anime&#39;s title recently.

[AMVP]

Ichigo Mashimarou

[Spider0042]

Yup, Ichigo Mashimaro it is. You&#39;re go.
(Oh, and for &#39;bonus points&#39;.. TV or OVA ? :P)

_________________________________________________
Also, referring back to your last image: I previously watched the first few episodes of Keroro Gunso and it seemed pretty good (I laughed a few times), but I ended up not pursuing it because I had other priorities.

And while off topic.. referring to this post (http://amvhell.com/index.php/topic,1070.msg5599.html#msg5599).. Well phrased ;)

And while staying somewhat relevant:
A year or so ago I finally got around to burning off the backup data for some of my anime. I always attempt to avoid wasting space on DVDs. To my surprise/horror I discovered my copies &#39;Grenadier&#39; and &#39;Ichgo Mashimaro&#39; filled a DVD perfectly. :o I feel it balances out the universe, thus giving me an excuse for having both of them in my backup collection. ^_^;

Edit: spelling -_-;

[AMVP]

I would suggest the Keroro manga (A.K.A. Sgt. Frog). They can be rather hit or miss sometimes, but it&#39;s still a good read.

Oops, almost forgot...

[Spider0042]

As of the Lupin one, I should have known.. my friend has been re-watching it over the past month. >_<

This may be a bit difficult, but I figured I&#39;d chance it:

Two from the OVA:
http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/346/kindiw1.th.jpg (http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/346/kindiw1.jpg) => http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/7054/rapeit6.th.jpg (http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/7054/rapeit6.jpg) =>
Response from the TV:
http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/4796/ehhhlr6.th.jpg (http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/4796/ehhhlr6.jpg)

(I have one more for the OVA that would help anyone who has seen it, which I will post after some time passes.)

[AMVP]

Woooooow... that looks obscure!

[Spider0042]

The trick is in the character design. Hence, why I included a shot from the TV series. Start with guessing who the character designer was, and you&#39;re half way there.

Both the TV show and the OVA made it to the US, though the OVA is probably the one that is seen in retail stores most often.

(While this anime may feel somewhat obscure, you&#39;ll find that the character designer has been involved with the production of several other well known anime.)

[Arden Jace]

Well, the TV shot makes me think Miyazaki, but not only have I not seen enough Miyazaki to pass proper judgement, that&#39;d just make things too easy.

[AMVP]

I was kinda thinking that too, but Miyuzaki&#39;s catalogue is pretty well known, so I probably would have recognized something.

[Arden Jace]

For some reason, the OVA shots made me think Escaflowne, but they&#39;re just a bit too clean to be that one.

[Spider0042]

Hmm, You are on the right track ...

One of the individuals involved with the animation for the Escaflowne Movie, was the final character designer for the OVA in question.

(While you were probably correct to have &#39;dismissed&#39; Escaflowne, it seems your initial intuitions were dead on. 8) Don&#39;t wander too far off ;) )

The original character designer was in full control of the designs for the TV series. Then a decade or so later the OVA was completed, but this time the original character designer was not directly in charge of the OVA&#39;s (animation) designs.


Keep your aim set on anime relying heavily on mecha elements.
You may eventually find that the original character designer&#39;s style (the screenshot from the TV series) will help when considering a potential title/artist.
One of the Original Character Designer&#39;s manga spawned a well known series which produced a few seasons and OVAs.


I apologize, I&#39;ve been rather swamped recently, and this post only provides facts and little to help guide by describing the animation. When I get a chance I&#39;ll try to find another appropriate screenshot.

Big Hint: Another OVA (a classic), which shares the same original character designer, was re-mastered and recently released at a rather high price point. :&#39;(
(&#39;Time&#39; played a role in not only this classic OVA, but also the OVA and TV series in question.)

[Kyndurr]

is it megazone 23?

Kyndurr

PS This is my first post

[Arden Jace]

It doesn&#39;t look like any of the Gundam series (at least not the ones I&#39;ve seen), but I could be wrong.

The OVA looks somewhat like what Stellvia looked like, but I don&#39;t think it&#39;s that.

I keep thinking Guyver for some reason, even though that&#39;s way off the mark.

My only other guess is Space Runaway Ideon, but as far as I know, Ideon has movies, not OVAs. Ideon is also one of those series I have, but haven&#39;t see, so that&#39;s probably not correct either.

[Spider0042]

is it megazone 23?

Nope, but its very close. The original character designer worked on it.
Welcome.

Someone involved with Guyver had a hand in Escaflowne, but I don&#39;t believe he/she worked on this title. Ideon isn&#39;t a bad guess, though isn&#39;t related to the screenshots above. The original designer was involved with a few gundam projects, but not many.

[Kyndurr]

I don&#39;t know how specific you want me to be but here&#39;s my new guess:

Macross 7

Almost dead on, this is the &#39;well known&#39; series referred to by this :


One of the Original Character Designer&#39;s manga spawned a well known series which produced a few seasons and OVAs.

That point may not have been clear, but it was reffering to &#39;one of&#39; his works, not the series/ova in quesiton.

The less obscure one seen in the screenshots had only one TV series and one OVA (both of which the original designer was involved). Keep &#39;time&#39; in mind.

[Kyndurr]

sorry about that i deleted my post with the screen caps

I guess i&#39;ll have to make another guess

Kyndurr

[Kyndurr]

The Super Dimension Century Orguss is the answer correct?

Indeed it is.

it&#39;s a semi-futuristic cop show that features parodies every few seconds.

Hope that helps.

ok is this series too hard? should i use a different one? no one has even guessed yet is why i ask

Kyndurr

[Arden Jace]

semi-futuristic cop show


Patlabor is my guess, even if the guy in that suit looks like Tenchi from Tenchi Muyo.

[Kyndurr]

nope not patlabor,

although i didn&#39;t realize it at first i gave a clue or two in the original post, so try to find them.

Kyndurr

[AMVP]

Miami Guns, one of the more enjoyable, semi-retarded shows out there.

[Kyndurr]

good job AMVP, it is indeed Miami Guns

On an interesting side note, the american dub was made about 30 miles from my house and i met the guy who was the voice adn casting director, he gave me volume 1 for free, you&#39;re up now

If its Gatekeepers I can imagine the response.

I&#39;ll go ahead and give you that one, it&#39;s Gatekeepers 21, the OVA.
I guess it&#39;s your go.

[Spider0042]

GAAAATE OOOPEN ! ;D

Another uncommonly heard title which is from a source of many well known titles&#39; animation:
(However, this one is more recent then the Orguss Screenshots)
http://img235.imageshack.us/img235/7709/puuuuushsv9.jpg
I will eventually be giving a large hint because this is the only screenshot I have from this anime, and its somewhat out of character as compared to the rest of the animation.

It was decent, so I may look into the next one when it comes over.

Edit: I&#39;ll mention it now, the animation director had a hand in several very well known movies. Maybe too easy, but I may not be back for a while.

[AMVP]

That image just screams Production IG (home of FLCL, Kill Bill, and Dead Leaves)

[Spider0042]

Yeah... I should have better images now.
That particular image is a bit out of character when compared to the rest of the animation. Production I.G. was involved with a few projects which the staff of this movie have worked on, but the studio didn&#39;t work on this movie.


The director and script writer has worked a lot in the past with a ?very popular studio?, and this movie is said to have reflected that experience.
The art director for this movie was also in charge of design, and he has been an art director for several productions from the same ?popular studio? mentioned above.
The name of the ?popular studio? mentioned above was NOT affiliated with this movie?s production, but should help with finding the director/designer.

(Also, note that while its a decent guess, Production I.G. was not the &#39;popular studio&#39; I had in mind.)

The first few images should immediately ring some bells:

Main Character

[AMVP]

That is almost certainly Miyuzaki, though I can&#39;t quite say which...

[Spider0042]

Yup, studio Ghibli it is. (the &#39;popular studio&#39;)

This movie was done by MADHOUSE and Miyazaki wasn&#39;t involved, but...

The art_director/designer for this movie was also an art director for &#39;Mononoke Hime&#39;, &#39;Neko no Ongaeshi&#39;, and &#39;Umi ga Kikoeru&#39; (and also worked on several other Studio Ghibli movies).

The director/script_writer of this movie was one of the art supervisors for &#39;Mononoke Hime&#39; and again several other Ghibli movies.

Since it seems likely no one has seen it, its time for a more telling screenshot.

This should help a bit, now that I have access to new screenshots:

[AMVP]

Still don&#39;t know, but I&#39;m becoming increasingly interested in this anime. I&#39;ll be sure to look it up once I know what it&#39;s called.

[beriorgar]

i don&#39;t think anyone knows this one, couldn&#39;t you give us some more info, like the year it was first published?

[masterage]

now here I was, hoping to give everyone time to answer before I did...

It&#39;s called:
Nasu: Summer in Andalusia

someone else can post a screenshot, though.

Thats correct. You got it before I could come back.

The movie relays its message using a simple story of a cyclist.


Pepe is a Spanish cyclist competing in an multi-stage Iberian cycling race similar to the Tour de France. He is a support rider for one of the teams competing in the race, and his role is to assist the team&#39;s top rider in winning the overall race. As the story unfolds, the racers are set to ride through Pepe&#39;s home town in Andalusia on the same day as the wedding of his elder brother Angel to his former girlfriend Carmen. Their relationship was a factor in his decision to leave the town to pursue professional cycling, and the wedding is a frustrating reminder that his career hasn&#39;t turned out as he would have liked. Now, with the sponsor planning to drop him from the team and his family and friends cheering him on, Pepe abandons his assigned role and strives for glory.

Looks like the next fastest person gets to take over.

[Kyndurr]

here you go

Pretty easy one

Kyndurr

[beriorgar]

reminds me of akira, but i&#39;m afraid i&#39;m wrong

[Kyndurr]

nope not akira

Not really close either, keep guessing

Kyndurr

[Behemoth666]

ok didn&#39;t saw this anime before, but i guess it&#39;s bleach, i hope i&#39;m right.

[Kyndurr]

nope not bleach either

[Kyndurr]

Hint: It ran on Spike TV

Kyndurr

[Kyndurr]

might be a bit before i can respond, have to work until 9 tonight

But keep those guesses coming.

[AMVP]

Afro Samuri

[Spider0042]

Damn, you beat me too it. :P
(I can confirm that one)

[AMVP]

All right, next clip...
http://animeclick.lycos.it/prove/serie/ScrappedPrincess/ScrappedPrincess19.jpg

[DicyDax]

scrapped prinecess??

[Spider0042]

At first I had a GunXSword feeling .. but the character on its face is the Mauser clan from Scrapped Princess. I never watched more then three episodes of GunXSword, but I pretty sure its not GunXSword. If it is Scrapped Princess, it?s defiantly a good scene to pick from to make it a bit more challenging. And I haven&#39;t watched the end of Scrapped Princess, since the first of the fansubing community finished it.

However, I am reading the Novels.. actually, I&#39;m nearing the end of the second one and will probably finish today. (Even though I bought the first two as soon as TOKYOPOP made it possible to pre-order through RightStuf online. :-[) They are really quick reads, big text, simple diction, some of its great, some &#39;so so&#39;. (Only a bit of new material: like the crossdressing Shannon o_O&#39; )

Actually, scrapped princess is probably it. I&#39;d need to borrow my friends DVDs to be 100% sure. :-\ (Thats kinda&#39; sad, maybe I&#39;ll rewatch some of it after I finish the third novel. I did give it a decent rating.)

Edit: Heh , now I see why I thought it was GunXSword .. the Art Designer for Scrapped Princess did some Color Design for GunXSword. Gut instinct on the coloring was dead on, but the Mauser character should make it Scrapped Princess. Even if you have seen it recently, nice catch DicyDax. ;D

[Kyndurr]

hey AMVP, i have a suggestion;

Next time you put up a link to a photo, don&#39;t leave the photo named by the series, if you right click on it and hit properties it says it is "Scrapped princess 16" or something like that. just to let you know.

Someone bring on the screen shot

Cheater, cheater, pumpkin scissors (?)

[Spider0042]

DicyDax is up I suppose.
If he&#39;s not back with an image in 20 hours its probably ok for someone else to take over. :-\ Or, if you believe it wasn&#39;t fair game you could just post another. Its up to you. You could wait a little bit, or begin the next one, or pass it to someone random, whatever works.

Heh, yeah it might be a good idea to change that! I guess if you have to, you should save the images to your computer then upload them to some free image hosting site. (Probably want to change the name in between.)

ImageShack (http://www.imageshack.net/) isn&#39;t too bad for random image hosting. I&#39;m not sure you even need to enter your e-mail address. It will give you a page that you can find the urls for the Direct Links (near the bottom), then you can use the image tags like you have been.

Edit: So speaking of Gun X Sword, a friend happened to share this clip with me a year or so ago. Its prety bad (youtube) (skip to around 39sec) nsfw-ish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atScfGHEqoQ) , but for some the last few lines (before the closing) may be worth it. Har har bad puns. I wonder if that was representative of the original show? o_O

[Kyndurr]

i wasn&#39;t cheating, at first i thought that last screen cap was from scryed, but then i was looking to see where you were hosting your pics and saw that the screen cap was actually named from the series, just so you know

Kyndurr

Also i have a question, how many people in here are making their own screen caps or are most people finding them online? i personally make my own caps.

[Filleraol]

I only make my own screencaps ^^

I just look on image hosting sites (hence your ability to figure out the clip).

[Inkwolf]

I have a ton of screen caps left over from animes I&#39;ve profiled for www.keyframeonline.com. So the one time I got lucky, I used one of them.

Someone post the new one, already...

[Spider0042]

All of mine have been my own screenshots. If I see some directing or art that stands out, I&#39;ll save it. I also save bits from scenes I found funny/enjoyable which sometimes sum up a lot of what?s happening in one shot. Its also fun to save dialogue that can be taken out of context (or is funny), or stuff that could be used in another project (reviews, art stuff etc). I&#39;ve been picking from a few random folders on my computer, but for Nasu I had to take a few new shots.

Here?s another random one from a year ago:

http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/8716/moeow7.jpg

And another one (http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/7702/makl9.jpg) that might make it a little easier. This one hasn&#39;t made it to the US yet, but it?s on the way. This one isn&#39;t necessarily one I&#39;m putting up with the intent of implying recommendation, just happened to take these two screenshots when I watched it.

[beriorgar]

no idea what it is, but it looks nice
i might watch this when the name is posted

[masterage]

if no-one gets this I&#39;ll be shocked. Honestly shocked.

[AMVP]

Is it Revolutionary Girl Utena?

[Spider0042]

Not Utena, but not a bad guess.
(That shot is from a &#39;ballroom&#39; setting.)
The background art -might- be recognizable, but its unlikely that connection would be picked up here.

Notice the character design (and school uniform), in the second image.
(The character design will only help you if you&#39;ve seen some of the show.)

I&#39;m/we&#39;re (masterage?) hoping to give the crowd that would typically watch this a chance to see it before making too many obvious hints :-\

However, &#39;that crowd&#39; may not be hanging around, so we may move things forward if too much time passes.

[PeanutSteak]

It looks a lot like something I read about in a magazine when I was a freshman in high school, but I can&#39;t remember it now.

[AMVP]

Sailor Moon (seriously, I&#39;m just grasping at straws here)

As many of you have now realized.. certain crowds may have been a bit &#39;reluctant&#39; to watch this. :D

The Plot: This mindset (http://amvhell.com/index.php/topic,1179.msg8092.html#msg8092) is highly relevant to it.

Without my Knowledge, a friend recommended &#39;Black Lagoon&#39; to his sister and it turn, she -recommended- we watch this. So I picked the show back up and finished it off. Not too bad, though its a "kick to the genre&#39;s gut", at the same time it provides plenty of bishonen, an enjoyable story, and is considered somewhat of a pioneer for its uncommon spin on an old/&#39;classic&#39; genre. (If you can come up with that &#39;genre&#39;.. tack &#39;reverse&#39; on the front of it and start googling.)

These last bits should make it rather easy, even if you have never heard of the anime. I also dropped a couple other simple things above which should make it easy.

masterage, if you want to go for it after a few hours then go right ahead (you don&#39;t have to post a screenshot just &#39;pass&#39;ing would be fine.)

and I pass on the screenshot.

The next random person is up.

Anyone with a screenshot? Go for it. ;D

[jopojelly]

Sweet, http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/jopojelly/vlcsnap-6032695.jpg

[The Real Inferno]

Speed Grapher?

[jopojelly]

nope, btw, one of the most beautiful anime I&#39;ve ever watched, although some may disagree because of the "unique" art style.

Edit: wow, no one could get Ouran High School Host Club?

[masterage]

I actually don&#39;t know this one, although I can take a guess:
Paprika. Although I&#39;ve yet to see the movie itself. I want to badly...

[jopojelly]

Nope, not Paprika, but you should see it, the soundtrack is phenominal. I actually have 3 of the songs on my playlist right now.

[Spider0042]

My guess would be Gankutsuo. I haven&#39;t seen all of it, but some trustworthy friends have recommended watching the rest (one also owns it). However, I still haven&#39;t gotten around to watching all of it.

It was one of the &#39;Best Art&#39; finalist in our panel at the local convention. I enjoyed editing the clips for it. Side note: Bandai Visual USA specifically picked out their own clip times for Gunbuster. >:( Made our life a little easier though. ^_^;

_________________________________________________
Edit:
Even though I haven&#39;t seen all of Gankutsuo, I do listen to the soundtrack from time to time. OP (slower paced) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=F4QkTAiv9ME) and ED (faster paced) (http://youtube.com/watch?v=Lyx4mgmkmY4) (YouTube does not do them justice). Jean-Jacques&#39; &#39;Anger&#39; is also fun ;D.

As for Paprika, it was decent Kon. And yes, more fun with Hirasawa. Oh, and as one might have expected, things were changed/improved between the screener shown at the film festival and the final release, so I recommend watching the newer version (not that the screener should be available).

Edit 2: Randomly reminded of the Monster ED1 (http://youtube.com/watch?v=aO4vE_xyqHc) so I&#39;m tackin&#39; in on here.

[jopojelly]

yep, gankutsuou is right.

Do you want to pass it off to emrfish6 until then?
(Since that response was a few seconds after yours?)

Or you could just say &#39;shoot&#39;, and whoever posts a &#39;I&#39;ve got one&#39; first (before preparing their sceenshot).

_________________________________________________

Edit: I believe I&#39;ve got this one, but I haven&#39;t watched it. One might say I&#39;ve been &#39;slacking&#39; when it comes to the more recent shows. Not all of them, but recently only the ones that most interest me end up getting a chance. I&#39;ve seen bits of the game mentioned though.

I&#39;m guessing I should find a screenshot or pass. Actually if someone else wants to take a stab then the next random person to say &#39;ME ME ME&#39; or something can take it if my guess is correct.

ef a tale of memories

[emrfish6]

Yea you got it...guess it was too easy.

[Spider0042]

Yea you got it...guess it was too easy.


Well, if it hadn&#39;t been so direct I&#39;m not sure many people could have gotten it unless they had watched some of it. I&#39;ve been avoiding newer anime for similar reasons.

If anyone would like to take a free shot then go ahead and post a new screenshot.

If nothing shows up in a reasonable amount of time then I&#39;ll prepare another one.

_________________________________________________

Ok, then I guess

http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/8081/myturnea3.jpg (http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/7070/myturngz4.jpg)

Sticking with the recent anime theme, I&#39;m actually going to go relatively bleeding edge here.
(Not quite RAW though. Ok, it hurts just saying that. :D)

My reasoning is so:

Considering the &#39;majority&#39; here,
First, if you CAN remember this scene and DIDN&#39;T completely repress the memories, then I commend your poor soul.
If you enjoyed it.. and you DON&#39;T have the sound effects set as your computer logon music (or your friend&#39;s >:D ).. you DIDN&#39;T [i]~enjoy~ it nearly enough! >_<

Also, a rather popular group may have brought this title to the public/world&#39;s attention.


I may be back with another screenshot if I can bear looking for a good one from these scenes. ^_^;

Ok.. i-I couldn&#39;t do it, :-[ but here are the others I took:
http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/1281/notwhatyouthinksq9.th.jpg (http://img219.imageshack.us/img219/1281/notwhatyouthinksq9.jpg)

http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/4204/shonenaits0.th.jpg (http://img61.imageshack.us/img61/4204/shonenaits0.jpg)

"I can&#39;t just say it.."

Now, (if this might).. don&#39;t let it give you the wrong first impression of the series. This episode does not at all represent the first season (at least on the surface). Though, the OVA and second season start to cater to the Fujoshi from time to time.
As for the second season, its only one episode.. one whole episode.. full of the stuff... but I doubt the staff is planning to make more then a few occasional clips for the rest of the series. o_O ?

Bad punning, joking and ridiculousness abound. I apologize in advance, but avid viewers of this show may get a kick/shock out of this. 0:)

Edit: Just fixing the links for less junk adds. Maybe I should have gone with my first thought. The second image should help, but if not this should give it away..

So, this is a dedication to a certain lurker which should immediately get this one, post already! ;D

I&#39;m not sure if anyone else will get this right away, but I&#39;m providing a few screenshots just to be safe.

I probably enjoyed this show a bit more then I should have. Though, given when I first watched the anime (and then the timing of the second watch), it was probably justifiable. :)

[jopojelly]

Isn&#39;t that "Key: The Metal Idol"?

Edit: Ok, I&#39;m 100% sure its Key, so heres the next one

[masterage]

jopojelly, that was sorta mean :3
And that&#39;s Tsukihime, and I know it&#39;s Tsukihime, so I pass on posting the next screenshot.

[Spider0042]

Yeah, thats Key.

No worries.

Tsukihime Anime? What tsukihime anime?

I&#39;m of the camp that refuses to accept that there was ever such a thing as a Tsukihime anime. ;D

Most (http://amvhell.com/index.php/topic,610.msg3106.html#msg3106) of the time anyway. (do I see what you did there?)

Honestly though, I&#39;ve been looking forward to the adaptation of &#39;Kara no Kyoukai&#39;. It should be interesting to see how its done. Splitting it into pieces was probably a good idea. Screening of the first part will be in the beginning of December. It may be a while before/if its available on DVD, though I&#39;m not too concerned about that.

(However I never really gave the Fate/Stay anime a chance. :-\)

Game is better, agreed...it&#39;s just I saw the anime well before I could get ahold of the game -_- Kagetsu Tohya is pure WIN. Yay Len! :3
And I&#39;m currently playing the hell out of Melty Blood Act Cadenza PC right now :3

And still not posting a screenshot -_-

[jopojelly]

Dang, didn&#39;t think that screenshot would be that easy, also didnt know that Tsukihime was already used, sorry.

ehh, I guess I&#39;ll post a new screenshot, cause it&#39;s no fun if theres nothing to guess, here goes.

Hint: no...it&#39;s not Naruto.

Edit: Nope, not Ninku, and just for fun I&#39;ll post another shot.
(hahah, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?)
Edit2: Nope, not Grims fairytales either, this is fun finding weird pictures to post:

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/jopojelly/vlcsnap-14679.jpghttp://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/jopojelly/a.jpghttp://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/jopojelly/d.jpghttp://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b169/jopojelly/e.jpg



All these pictures are from the same series, just so you know.

[Spider0042]

Actually, Tsukihime hadn&#39;t been done (and repeats are probably ok, within reason, or when enough time passes). Sometimes I type my thoughts/analysis in a stream of consciousness, so I happened to mention Tsukihime. At the end I settled on Claymore, which was correct. ??? There happened to be only a few subtle differences in that screenshot, and not ones you might immediately notice if its been a few years, or you haven&#39;t seen bits of Claymore.

As for the current image, I&#39;m not sure. My best (barely supported) guess would be &#39;Ninku&#39;. My brother watched it and I only sampled bits of it.

The only other bit I have is ~jian dao!~ ~shi tou!~ -Bu!! (I don&#39;t know how its said in japanese).

_________________________________________________
Edit 1:
So if I?m not misleading myself (considering I haven&#39;t seen this)...
I do know there was an animated version of "Grimm`s Fairy Tales" that was aired in the US, but it may have come from Japan. Never watched it, but have heard others talk about it. (Just working with the extra info.)

Edit 2:
So I see Kenshiro (http://img169.imageshack.us/img169/2583/hnkfigurerm5.jpg) among others.. I&#39;m going to assume that second one has nothing to do with the first. If anything comes to me I&#39;ll be back tomorrow, but I doubt I&#39;ll have anything new.

Edit 3: AH! That would explain why sleeping beauty looked familiar! So I never ended up seeing all of this. (Actually, very little of it. :-[) Though, I&#39;m becoming increasingly interested in checking the rest out. (Kinda forgot about it.) It helps to know they were all the same thing. Background art does match I suppose. The second image immediately made me think Ranma, but I didn&#39;t think it was Ranma so I didn&#39;t pursue it until I realized the images were related. ::)

Urusei Yatsura?

(Now for sleep.)

[jopojelly]

Yep, Urusei Yatsura, 195 episodes of awesome-ness. Probably the most enjoyable anime ever for me.

[Spider0042]

Excellent choices on the screenshots, if it had been Lum in her tiger striped outfit it would have instantly been obvious.

BAN - KAI !
Or maybe it should be
"Right now... some one is about to release his Bankai"

I set my triggers to download the first episode as soon as it aired because I was anxious to compare it to the manga. So here?s one more of a character design (http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/7299/chardesignag5.png) that I agreed with.

Note: Alone, the bottom left image probably won&#39;t help. It could remind someone who has watched this show, but isn&#39;t meant to me helpful by itself.

Before it was a manga it was in novel form.
Big Hint: Yo****oshi ABe did the cover art for the novels. ;D

And yes, you have seen this briefly via the AMV Hell series.

[Inkwolf]

I&#39;m gonna guess Death Note...

[Spider0042]

I&#39;m gonna guess Death Note...


Nope. . . but, I really want to shake your hand right now. 8)

I don&#39;t believe you could possibly comprehend just - how much that made my night. ;D Instantaneously!

The reasons and conditions are absurd, and barely make any sense. Still.. . I was not expecting the night to get any better.. but it did, and that was more then enough to top it off. :)

( Ok, so its probably just me, but I wanted to let you know ~its all your fault~. )


Soo... accurate representation, yes?


( Uhm yeeah~ )> (????)??( &#39;???) <( Ah-hahaha! )

*pat pat pat*

Yeaaah~ . . About that . . . I can blame this one on a great day? . . Riiight? :-[

*Ahem*

(Oh, and it doesn&#39;t make much more sense even if you do know what anime this is.)

I&#39;ll be back to post more screenshots if it takes too long.

Edit: You may need some form of asian text support for that stuff above (http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/3872/textti3.png) to be displayed correctly.

[Inkwolf]

Glad I made you happy! ;D

(Yeah. I figured that would be too easy. but what with the colors and the disk label, I had to take the stab at it. :P Haven&#39;t seen the anime, only starting on the manga now.)

[thedarkmessenger]

Is it Bleach? Bleach is the only anime I know of that uses the term "bankai". Don&#39;t recognize the character, but then again I&#39;ve only seen one episode, and it was somewhere in the middle of the series.

No, not Bleach. You?re right, it was a reference to Bleach, but I only used &#39;bankai&#39; to setup a joke. I figured it was common knowledge and people might get part of the joke. To be a bit clearer? We?re talking about a different kind of ?bankai?. :D

I didn&#39;t intend for it to be misleading. Sorry about that. Also, the fact that the referenced -title/anime- was ?Bleach? wasn?t a hint.

I&#39;m about to add a few more images to the original post.

[Filleraol]

It must be NHK ni yokoso!

one of my favorites ^^
