There was a thread for a certain manga a while back that was stickied at one point and I'm trying to remember the manga. All I remember is it was really well drawn, it was about a samurai and it had some fourth wall breaking elements according to the OP (or whatever would be a more applicable term for manga; third dimension breaking?). Anyone know what it is that I'm describing poorly? Conduit for Sale! fucked around with this message at 14:33 on Sep 6, 2011 |

Was it Takemitsu Zamurai? I remember the thread you are talking about but I can't remember if it was for this or something else.

I'm pretty sure it was something else, that doesn't look familiar.

I think Takemitsu Zamurai is the only Samurai-focused manga I've stickied in recent memory.

There is an anime series or movie from my childhood that I have been trying to identify for years, but I remember very little of it. Only a couple of scenes stand out in my memory. In one scene a group of soldiers are firing at a some terrified people (or possibly creatures similar to humans). One of the soldiers hesitates and is mocked by another soldier. The other scene was probably the ending, and featured a lone woman standing in a desert at night. I think she was holding a baby in her arms. I am not sure if these scenes are even from the same movie or series, but they would have to be from something that aired on European TV-channels sometime in the mid to late 80s.

I am not sure. My memories of this are very vague. I think it was a sci-fi show, since I dimly recall space travel. No memories of mecha thought.

There were these two animes on anime unleashed on the old G4, one would center around different main characters each show (i remember like episode 7 to be really freaky cause it was about this girl in this hospital or something) and the other centered around this guy who could consume people's inner demons or whatever by pulling giant spiders out of their chests and eating them. they may have been the same show.

So I've been trying to remember a few things for quite a while now. The first show is about soldiers in mechs fighting alien insects of some kind. I remember one episode had a scene where a guy holds an egg in his hands for a few seconds before letting it drop to the ground, smashing it. I remember seeing it on adult swim. The second one revolves around submarines, where the main character has to go attend some kind of world conference about submarines, but another submarine shows up in his place and starts wrecking poo poo. The main character arrives at the meeting finally and stops the imposter submarine, but his submarine sinks in the process. I think it was named after the submarine in question. It may have been an OVA. The third one I only vaguely remember. It involved a giant tree of some kind that was destroying a city, and there's a scene where somebody outruns the tree on a motorcycle. That's all I remember. I think it was also on adult swim.

I'm thinking this is Phoenix 2772. a very loose adaptation of Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix manga. There is a scene where the main character is firing at a peaceful alien race that are being used for target practice. He doesn't want to and is ridiculed for his weakness. At the end, he is reborn as a baby and is being held by the woman he loved in his previous life. the last scene takes place on a beach. The anime was not particularly good, because most Tezuka fans felt it was just a mish-mash of some of the Phoenix manga stories and failed to capture the message of any of them. However, it did have a FANTASTIC score done by Isao Tomita EDIT: It apparently won some animation awards here in the states, but then, this was in the 80's before Tezuka's Phoenix manga had been translated. It's still not particularly liked amongst Tezuka fans, but I like it at face value. as an adaptation of the manga, it's horrid, but on it's own, it's a decent film Cryptobotanist fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Sep 21, 2011 |

I just finished watching Phoenix 2772, and it was definitely the movie I remembered. Turns out my strange memory of an old man with fried eggs for eyes was also from this. It was rather interesting, but the animation was all over the place. You get a lovely fight against a shape-shifting monster in space, and in the next scene they did not even bother to animate a characters lips when she speaks. I think I will check out the original manga sometime. I have read a few of Tezuka's works before, and he seems to live up to his reputation.

Need help recalling an manga series I was reading, scanlation release were slow so I forgot about it. But now I want to pick it back up if it's still actively scanlated. Is set in morden day/not too distance future Japan. An part of a government plan to motivate people to live life to the fullest, when a person is born they are randomly selected and implanted with a chip that would kill them at a pre-determined date in the future. Main character is a government worker who delivers the notice to the person 48 hours before they are due to die, and then the story follows what happens to that person after being told they are going to die. if anyone could help, would be great.

I'm looking for this manga that I think was about secret communities of dinosaurs in Imperial Russia and think some historical figures were involved. It may have only been like two or three chapters as well.

Back when I was a kid, when Anime was still called Japanimation, there was a channel that used to play anime movies every saturday morning like Akira, Vampire Hunter D, M.D. Geist, and I think the Tenchi Muyo movie? (loving so awesome as a kid, doughnuts and anime followed by SNES made for a great goddamn day). Anyways, during this time I watched a movie...I can't remember much, but there was a scene where the main character, a female, barely squeezes into a little spaceship with a little round yellow guy so they can go save the galaxy or something. That's all I can remember besides really liking it!

Looking to identify another anime from a while back. A kid's dad dies from a briefcase bomb in the beginning. He is then sent to this orange flying ship to be taken care of. The ship has an on board AI that the kid talks to. There's a scene where the kid and the AI have a discussion about him missing his dad. Now that I think about it, the dad may have worked on creating the ship and might have tried to make the AI like him to take care of the son because he knew that he was going to die. There were other people aboard the ship, a younger woman and I believe a female robot. They were on some sort of mission and I believe it was a big deal at one point that they stopped and spent some time off of the ship. quote:1. In the beginning of the story (so first episode or beginning of the movie) a diplomat or politician gave a speech and then entered a limo (I think) and set off a briefcase bomb killing himself. I found this post that no one replied to. It's strange that I don't remember mecha in the anime nor do I remember a final fight scene in a theme park, but it seems this person could be talking about the same thing that I am.

There's one movie I saw as a kid that I've been trying to remember for so long now but I barely remember anything of it. I think I saw it on sci-fi, but I'm not sure what year I might have seen it. All I can remember is one scene and even that's kinda vague. There's some young teenage-looking boy, who I'm pretty sure was the main character, and he's fighting against some bad guy. The boy has his resolve power-up moment, picks up a bazooka to shoot the bad guy, and doesn't realize he was holding it backwards. The rocket flies off behind him and hits a wall in the building they're in, and I think some catwalk thing starts collapsing and he's all upset because he might have injured the woman on it (his sister I think?) Also I'm fairly certain that who or whatever the bad guy is ends up killing the sister right after this. I've been trying to figure this out for drat long I'm not sure if this is an actual thing I saw or some random rear end dream I actually remembered for some reason.

Flython posted:Thank you. I knew it wasn't obscure like the others but I just could not recall the name. I think this is Chaosic Rune. Each character has a deck of cards from which they can summon monsters and items. There are bad guys from the machine society who summon machine monsters. There was a shopping mall scene and a robot tower (base?) scene too but I don't recall it being a tournament but there was a tournament at the start of the manga.

I probably won't get anywhere with this as I barely remember anything from this. I only watched like 2 episodes of it. I remember a boy and a girl meet, and then in episode 2 they are in a dump and they find something. If this sounds familiar at all, let me know.

In the early 90s, there was a miniseries on I think network television that was anime-esque. It wasn't Japanese, but it could have been. Anyway, it's about a teen boy who discovers he's half alien or something, and he's supposed to stop an alien invasion or something. He identifies other aliens by the way their eye flickers or dilates. I could have sworn it was called something like "Invasion America" (though I know there's a live action show called that) or "Alien Invasion." I'm pretty sure "invasion" was in the title. poo poo's been bothering me for years.

Only lasted one season on the WB channel (back when it existed) and didn't get enough good press to warrant a second. Good luck finding a copy of it.

Invasion America was indeed the title, though I was about finished with high school when that came out so it would have been late 90s. The big push behind that was that they plastered Steven Spielberg's name all over the thing since it was one of the first Dreamworks SKG TV animation projects, and their first to air on prime-time network television. My memory of it is that it wasn't as good as we were all hoping it to be (previous attempts in the 90s to show non-comedy animation in prime time failed to garner interest, and this followed suit), even though I want to say somebody at some point got cut vertically in half Kung Lao from Mortal Kombat-style.

Another submarine focused anime. Not the one mentioned before. The world had been flooded by some disaster so everything was done by sub. The good guys were fighting some sort of hybrid fish men that may have been the cause.

In a similar vein, there was a manga I read a while ago where some sort of aliens had possessed old naval vessels and used them to prevent all sea travel. The good guys crewed a rouge submarine controlled by a friendly alien. I can remember most of the details about it, just not the name.
