"Eh...?"

Guest
When I was young I saw an animated movie about people in slavery, working in a mining colony. They were whipped by robots with electronic whips. One guy decided to escape and started drilling his way up. On the way he stopped to sleep on this little shelf he had carved out. There, he was attacked in his sleep by big bloodsucking worms. But he made through and got out. That's all I can remember from the movie. Does anyone know which movie I'm describing? I'd be very very grateful =)
 
djenrique I don't think it is anime.I think it is an american cartoon called :star chaser the legend of orin(or oren).It is one of my favourites.
 
Theres this anime about a girl whos mom is a mermaid and her father is human, so when she dives in the ocean after like 5 seconds her hair turns turqoise and she can breathe underwater. Anyone have any idea ?
 
does anyone know where i can get the boxed anime dvd/video set of Kare Kano...i dont think Suncoast Motion Picture Company Store has it in the mall...or can it be rented by Blockbuster??
 
Sorry to barge in, but this for the member "Kedaan" who got his previous topic locked because of a noobie mistake.

The hot-looking babe that you were wondering about is a fighter named 'Shiki' from SNK: Samurai Showdown. Even though Kedaan hasn't come back to ask in the proper topic, I just couldn't resist, Shiki is just so beautiful.

However all you horny perverts back off, this is a married woman, at least I think she is. I'm not too familiar with the Samurai Showdown storyline, all I know is that she is in love and has a child with another character from the game, not 100% positive if they get married or not.

Hello, im new here. Im really having trouble with finding this Anime I saw a long time ago. Oh, about 10 years ago on the Sci-Fi channel when they showed anime, there was a movie on that was a lot like the movie Alien. At least I think it was. It took place on a ship, it was really dark all the time, and I remember the alien or whatever could get inside you and you had to scan your body in order to find it I believe. I thought it was great, but i was like 12. If anyone knows what im talking about PLEASE tell me, I really want to find it! Also if there are any good dark anime horror/scifi movies or shows, please tell me. Thanks a lot.
 
I found the movie! Someone tipped me off, thanks a lot. Its called Lily C.A.T., anyone know if I can get it on DVD somewhere?
 
Hola, Greetings, and Hello. Apparently I made a mistake with my first post, lol, expected I suppose, anyhow... Reposting here.

Several years ago there was an Anime that was occasionally on SciFi. I'm not sure if it was a movie or show, I'll describe it as best as I can recall.


There was a guy, it was some sort of base, and there didnt seem to be much around them, they were always bing attacked from all around by these, I think drone like robots.

The huy had amnesia, his mech had this crystal or something with 4 points like a star, but 3 pointed up and the other pointed down.

Sorta like that if I recall correctly, though maybe it was upside down.

I remember that at some point the crystal got damaged and it had to be housed in like, it was like a coffin for the mech that held its power or something, and it can ride on top of, or with the coffinf if i recall.

An no one else had mechs like his, except maybe members of the enemy, who i think the main bad guy had a mech like it.


I hope I explained it will enough for someone who is well informed with anime can tell me the name of the show, I really liked it.
 
Thats the show, thanks a ton, I have literaly been trying to remember for like 5 years if not more.

Then it dawned on me today "Der, use teh intarwebz 2 found ert. *Drool*"
 
Hi there

thanks for youre help AnimeNewtype

..i dont had time for pc the last few days
 
I watched this show at least 5 year ago and I really enjoyed it but I can’t seem to remember the name. It's possible it was a series but I think it was a movie. Ok I will tell you about the story and maybe someone can tell me what it's called.

The Story

.....It takes place on earth in the future where robots (there call something specify but I cant remember) have taken almost total control with one specific robot being it charge. The reason that they came in to being was to protect the environment but they turned on use. When they decided that we would need to be removed so the environment could flourish (sense we were the cause of the problem). So a war has been raging ever since with the robots winning. But there is someone out there that can stop them he is not really human and not really one of the robots ether. His father and another man, invented the main robot that is the father of all the other (I guess you could say). Well any way the robots attacked the family (flashback) and the son was the only one to survive so as he is dying he transfers him self into a new invention (not really human or robot) that his dad created to stop the robots. So he is out the stop the first robot because once destroyed all the others robots will cease to function because, of what his father and the other man setup. Along the way he runs into a girl he knew from before that is carrying what she thinks is mankind’s salvation and EMP gun (I think can't remember for sure). He helps her (battling all along the way) get back to the last of the human resistance. Who are waiting on the specs for the gun so they can incorporate it into their weapons and launch a full-scale assault. For a time they seem to be wining until the robots turn on their shield. While the assault is going on he (the son) goes after the main robot even though the SUN (which is his main source of power) has been covered by clouds for sometime. He manages to make it to the main robot right about the time humans are losing. He defects him in an epic battle and saved all mankind.
The End

That is about all I remember so I hope somebody can help me figure out what the name of this is.
 
My friend explained to me what was happening in this manga she was looking through in Kunokunia, she had read the translations somewhere but now she cant remember, and she doesnt know the title.

I dont remember much but here is what I can remember:
The main girl has moved out of her parents place for whatever reason and while she's in this new apartment she hears the fumbling of her front door and a guy her age walks in. They both freak wondering what the other is doing in their brand new apartment. It turns out the landlord leased the place to both of them and when they go to the landlords office he/she has run off with their money. So they end up being stuck together in the apartment. They end up falling for each other and so on. Does anyone know the title of this manga?

Thank You! -BluX
 
Suncoast does have it actually, (blockbuster will not, its too new) and its not called Kare Kano, the anime is called His and Her Circumstances. That could be why you're havig trouble finding it. -BluX
 
What you're talking it'a almost assuredly Shinzo Ningen Casshern (Casshern of the new body, often also spelled as: "Kyashan").

It's a 35 episode series by Tatsunoko Production (same as Battle of the Planets) in 1973, and one of my personal favourite anime of all time (I'm SO glad the series is slated for a DVD edition in my country from April ).

The plot you tell is a little different from the actual plot of the series, so I guess what you saw was the special OAV remake of Casshern that Tatsunoko made in the nineties co celebrate it's anniversary (other famous series of the production house underwent the same treatment, namely Gatchaman, Babil Nisei and Hurricane Polymar).

If you're interested, they recently made a LIVE ACTION (!) movie of Casshern in Japan, which I hope will be distributed around the world soon.

Here are a couple of link in order for you to check images.

Thank you so much I have been looking for the name for years you are the greatest. Tankn you again Tarrasque
 
Well, I love anime's, which you can tell why I am here. But recently, I have remembered back in the old days of watching anime. There was this one anime show that was on UPN(I believe?) that I cannot figure out the name of. I am asking all anime fans and gurus to help me identify this anime by some small known facts I remember.

Well, here is the list of clues that can help determine this anime!

1.) The character was sent to earth, and does not really have an identity.
2.) The anime is centered around robotic fights, the main character transforms into a robot by using a magical crystal of some sort and by saying the phrase "techno power" while holding the crystal up in air!
3.) He fights another one of hisorigins, whom he fights in a spaceship that is surrounded by black crystals that drain the main character's power.
4.) The main character has a group of friends in which own a big military base-like area.
5.) The main character finds his sister, whom is a pink robot and uses the same technique as him to transform.
6.) The anime was shwn on TV in America around 1995-1996ish, and did not air for very long on UPN (I believe?)
7.) Lastly, everytime this main character uses his robotic form, the robot seems to grow more evil

Some of these clues are not exact, but I know for a fact #2 is perfectly correct. I am very curious to this anime name as it was the first anime in which brought me excitement to watch another episode. The robots themselves look like robots from Escaflowne (could be escaflowne, but pretty sure it isn't)

Thanks for your help Anime fans,
- James

I was just wondering, what does "oro" mean? I've heard Kenshin say it before but I can't seem to figure out what it means.
