It's kind of like Transformers, where they transform from trains to robot things. I'm pretty sure it was more kid-oriented, because I remember the main character having a boy's voice. Aaaand that's about all that I can remember.

OH, the villain was a black train. I just remembered that. With uh....evil yellow eyes, I think. And he had two dumb henchmen trains (also black colored) who probably served as comic relief most of the time.

Don't remember if there were any humans or not.
 
What I first thought of was GaoGaiGar, but he only uses a train for arms.

What about Go-Bots? Loco is a black train, but he looks nothing like your drawing ..

I'm sorry, but I can't think of anything else.
 
Aw come on, nobody else knows anything about this? I'm pretty sure it was fairly mainstream- they had toys and everything.
 
Are you sure it wasn't this?

Have no idea what anime you're talking about, can you remember any other details? In the meantime I can only suggest doing searches like these:

http://www.google.com/search?q=新幹線　アニメ
http://www.google.com/search?q=黒い列車　アニメ
 
Thanks catweazle, I eventually found it with your the google search link. Now that I found it, I have another question:

Anyone know what "Hikarian" in Japanese is?
 
Nice one.


If it's spelt phonetically it'll be either 「ひかりあん」 or 「ヒカリアン」, if it's spelt using kanji then it'll be 「光ー」 the ー being whatever the an-sound in the word is supposed to be, maybe 「庵」 or something.
 
honestly i think its because they like to keep the titles short so it can get right to the show plus there very in tact with theyre timing. that they are.
 
Hey, LogicalMan here, posting to ask for a slight favour. I've been looking for this film right, for ... well, forever, and I've never been able to find it. It was shown on the sci-fi channel a few years ago (in the same line-up as Martian Successor Nadesico, Evangelion, and Blue Gender) and I've always wanted to watch it again. I'm just hoping that if I give a brief (and I really do mean brief) outline of the plot, people would be able to give me the title of it. Right here goes. It involves a cave, a magical one that can grant wishes, a plain looking girl asks it to make her beautiful, and it does, but a major side effect means that she automatically drains the life force from nearby living things. She then goes into a kind of solitude as a ... nun, priestess or something? Please, please help me find out what it's called?
 
All fansubs are illegal. I'm not trying to bust anyone's chops here, but they are not sanctioned copies and distributing them online is against the law. If you want to continue watching them, you're more than welcome to do so. I'm not here to judge you, just do not post links to torrent sites, fansub group sites, or general anime upload sites that host streaming content or direct downloads.
 
It was a long time ago, and my memory is a little fuzzy on the details, but here goes. It's not a cute and fuzzy film, although nowhere near as violent and disturbing as Urotsukidōji, more like Ninja Scroll. I do know that at one point she drains the life from all the plants in a greenhouse - unintentionally since she wasn't aware of the cost of the wish being granted, then another time, she does the same thing to another girl in her school whether this kills the girl or almost does ... I'm not sure. I think she becomes a shinto priestess or 'shrine maiden' (think Sailor Mars) or something like that. Then someone who'd gone to her school recognises her. That much came to me as I typed. I'm not sure I could recall more than that. And that is more than a little frustrating.

Is it a demon in the cave that grants the wish? Could it be called something like that? The details are so sketchy in my mind, it's difficult to formulate them, and it's been driving me mad trying to recall it. Please put me out of my misery!

Thanks for your patience, and maybe, just maybe, for helping me find this film.
 
i saw an anime that was only 12 epasodes called a. musuo somthing like that its about an black haired bandit hunter marshelartest chick anyone know the name of it i had to reformat my harddrive and forgot the name of it and id like to redownload it
 
I'm vaguely remembering an anime i once saw that i really liked, but i completely forgotten the name of it. Now its really getting on my nerves because i'm making my anime list and i really want to remember the anime title.

The things i remember about it:
A boy grew up never cutting his hair because his mom said that when hes old enough, he should be able to have any hair style he wants. Under some condition he was kicked out of his school.. i think... so his childhood friend dress him up like a girl which totally fits him because he looks quite kawaii as a girl, and he attended a all girl school. At this school he was able to become the student president o_O and he made a huge impact on alot of the students but he had to leave for some reason and held a ball in which all teh girls he had impacted got to dance with him. Must i remind you this anime series is not ecchi, some parts are but overall its not.
