Finding Anime Names & General Anime Q&A

Hi all, utter newbie to these here forums, so please don't bite ^^

I've been trying to find the name of an old anime I watched as a young teen and I have a few VCDs in my collection... Unfortunately, the VCDs (and name) are in Chinese, which doesn't help me much. I've scanned the cover of the first one and upped it here:



A brief synopsis:

An anime about 2 main characters in high school... fighting with other high school kids. One has golden hair, brash and not below using dirty tricks to win a fight. The other has loooong spikey black hair, and is very modest and a strong sense of justice.

AFAIK, it's only 10 chapters long, but has huge lashings of humour, which makes it fun to watch.

Many thanks to any and all who will help
 
^ It took me a good 10 minutes of Googling, but I believe that anime is "Kyou Kara Ore Wa!!" ("Today, it's my turn!!") Here is the link from AnimeNewsNetwork: ===> http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=2995
 
So this movie/series opens with a swordsman wielding a rather oversized buster sword fighting a snake-like monster. His right arm and hand are covered in leather straps, at one point during the fight he pulls on one of those straps with his teeth which in turn pivots his hand revealing a cannon. He then blasts a shot in the snake-like monster's face.

The movie/series then flashback to the swordman's youth when he was learning how to use the oversized buster sword. We are then shown a battlefield where our hero is attacking a castle as a hired mercenary. He defeats a a character by the name of Gray Knight. The leader of the mercenaries hired to protect the castle is clad in red with blonde/white hair.

Our hero and the leader accidently meet up in a grassy hill area after the battle and the leader wants the swordsman to join him and his mercenary group. Hero refuses and leader takes him out with a single slash to the ribs.

I saw this movie about ten years ago and can't remember the name of it. I know that medallions/pendants also play a role in the storyline but can't remember why. Hope you guys can figure it out 'cause I can't.

hows it going guys
hugggeee anime fan here, i got a little conundrum
does anyone know the anime where there was that masked art collector and the statue of venus di milo?
 
I am looking for the name of an old anime that was aired on the movie channels on cablevision back in the early to mid 80's. The show was about the earth getting invaded by aliens that looked human but had angel like wings. This scientist had his son go into space for some power source that he used to power this vehicle that would latter turn into a big mecha. The mecha started out as a car that turned into a truck then into the robot. I have been looking on the internet for a while for this movie, hopefully someone knows the name.
 
What was that manga called where theres the suicidal teacher that meets that really positive girl while he is trying to hang him self?
 
Hello,

I recently purchased a sketch from what I believe is an anime movie from the late 80's or early 90's, however, I could be completely incorrect. It just looks pretty cool to me.

The sketch may be viewed at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45218180@N08/4147762124/

Any assistance in finding out what this is from would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi um.... i don't know where i am really supposed to post this so...... But um anyway i was wondering if anyone could help me.

I'm looking for this anime it has people with blue blood that the govenment don't want around..... and thats about all i remember i know its not much to work with but if possible could someone help me find out the name of this anime?
 
That isn't a lot to go on, but the first thing that pops to mind is RahXephon, where there were people called Mu that had blue blood and were the bad guys more or less.
 
Hi folks. I am new here so firstly I thought I'd say hello.

I am looking for some Animes that I saw on the Sci Fi channel in the UK years and years ago. The first one I remember I tracked down, called Violence Jack. Not for those with a weak stomach for sure lol.

The second of which I haven't been able to find. It involves a character who has really short, almost greasy black hair. He has sideburns and a suit on if I remember correctly also. I wish I could remember more.

Now I have to point out that I am really new to Anime and really don't know many, so please forgive my ignorance!

Thanks for any help!

Cheers!
 
What anime is this?:

All I know if that this guy suddenly quits his job of being a video game creator and then towards the end he saves a young girl from being hit by a car. The girl owns the game that he and a coworker created and then messes with the game after he dies.
