What I remember is that these kids are in a town and one day everyone in the town vanishes. At some point a kid makes a plane and flies it out of the town and discovers that the entire town is sitting on the back of an elephant statue that's standing on a turtle statues back, in space. There might be some dream element of it as well. Anyone know what I'm talking about?

@idkidk123123 I took a look and it wasn't any of these...

I wanna say it must have been early 2000's or earlier. Also, I think there might be an element of it all being a characters dream? There might also be a sequence involving chasing a character through portals?

@lainnvx My problem is that... for some reason... I always remembered this as Bubblegum Crisis. Then someone pointed out to me that that's nothing like Bubblegum Crisis. So I've remembered this anime for some 20-something years as the wrong name.

dude, that doesn't sound like anime at all. That sounds like Discworld, a novel series by Terry Pratchett

@TheSFHero You replied RIGHT when I figured it out.

Urusei Yatsura 2: Beautiful Dreamer
I somehow saw this a long time ago, without ever knowing what Urusei Yatsura was.

For reference:
Ataru and Lum are among the students at Tomobiki high school involved in preparing for the upcoming student cultural festival. Some of them grow suspicious that their days have been repeating. To validate the theory, they are all sent home, instead of sleeping overnight like they had been. All the students end up back at the school, unable to leave the city limits. They board a Harrier jump jet and fly upwards into space. They see that their entire city is on the back of a giant turtle, in the otherwise empty void of space. The students investigate the school, believing it to be the source of the strange happenings. Seemingly impossible events transpire, like Ataru chased by his own reflections in an infinity mirror.

@Raktus Glad you found this anime. BTW there’s a whole thread for finding anime, so no need to open a new entry for this

@Raktus Nah, that is strictly mecha sci fi. No Fantasy or Mythical elements need apply.
