Trying to find the name of a certain animated movie. Here's what I remember:
Art style & Animation - seemed rather cheap and old, like something from 80's, early 90's.
Themes - ancient japan, demons/spirits, samurais
As far as story goes, I only remember a few scenes. I think the general plot goes something along these lines: A princess has been kidnapped, her father hires a samurai to get her back, samurai fights through bad guys and gets princess back, the emperor then orders to kill the samurai once he has completed his mission but the princess stands up for him in the end.
Here are a few scenes I can recall:
- Samurai fighting a what looked like a giant tiger (unless the memory failed me completely) and defeats him.
- Light-blue-haired lady taking a bath in the lake (also boobs) and later getting in some kind of danger.
- Some nasty-looking guys that attacked some family's house and killed everyone in there (was shown in form of flashbacks).
- Samurai's fight against the bad guys and their leader on top of some building. I think he was also the kidnapper of the blue-haired princess from earlier.
- Main character rescues the girl and escapes, leaving the bad guys fight with some ninja chicks.
- Main character and the girl return to the emperors palace (or something of a sort), the emperor says "thanks for bringing her back". Then his warriors surround the princess and the samurai. Dont remember how it ended. :S
If you have any clues what the anime is - much appreciated.
Hey everyone. I'm looking for an anime, but I saw only few frames. There was a guy in white cape, covering his head - he was walking and then there was a crowd in the middle of town(?). Hope you can help me.
Sorry, I can't find any pictures, or else I would not be here ;^_^
I saw this anime on MAL a few months ago, and I can't find it anymore. It was about this guy who returns home and he has 19 sisters and there is one for every age. The youngest one was a baby in a bee costume, I think. If I remember correctly, it was a fairly recent anime.

Sounds rather vague, a bit more detail would be helpful (hairstyle, hair color, time era maybe?).
Only thing I can think of is a scene from the veeeeery end of the Chrno Crusade series. Here's a link to it:
---WARNING---
Scene I linked to wont make much sense, however everything before that, as well as everything in the video description and comments contain MAJOR spoilers. Don't read or watch anything else on that page if you don't want spoilers.

Sounds like Sword for Truth
Even though I'm not 100% sure (seen the movie looong time ago) it does look very close to what I described, so that's probably it. :O Plus the title sounds pretty damn generic, just as I thought. Thank you very much. :D
Actually I've remembered three more scenes from different anime that I need help identifying, but I remember less about them:
1) A cart or a platform with wheels being pulled somewhere, escorted by guards through a crowd. Some guy was stretched out and tied to that cart/platform, yelling something, while another guy (or an old man) was standing beside him and kept stabbing the guy with something spear-like in order to make him shut up.
Looked like something history-themed. Well, definitely not modern age or sci-fi.
2) This one's a sci-fi themed. I remember many of the bad guys being some kind of purple robots with smooth design (as opposed to blocky transformer-like robots) that shot pink lasers. You know, typical oval-shaped spinning glowey thingies, like in many old sci-fi animes. I think they also had the ability to fly, but I'm not sure.
There's one scene I kind of remember: a guy, a girl and a kid were being chased by one of those robots through a snow-covered forest. Then the girl and the kid hid in a nearby cave, while the guy stayed outside and pretended to be injured in order to distract the robot. Last thing I remember was robot's first person view, with crosshair and such, looking at the guy rolling on the ground, screaming and pretending that his leg was injured.
3) Some odd comedy with a guy (I think there was also a girl and her pet with him) got sent into what looked like dinosaur age, but I recall there being a village of amazons and they were all hitting on the guy. I also remember the guy hitting on one of the girls, but she then turned into a pink dinosaur and chased after the guy trying to kiss him. I think there was also a girl dressed in just underwear made from tiger skin, though maybe I'm confusing her with a character from a different anime. The episode (I have a strong feeling this was a series) ended with the main characters going back to their world, also bringing along a T-Rex and a bunch of other creatures with them. They're seen causing complete chaos in the city just before the credits roll.
All three of these animes are, again, something probably from the 80's/early 90's, which is why I don't remember much about them. But I kept recalling those scenes every once in a while for many years, and I want to finally find out where they're from. :(

3) Sounds an awful lot like Urusei Yatsura, especially with that tiger skin underwear part. I have no clue about the other 2.
I remember reading a synopsis where it mentioned a Disgaea-ish concept of 3 distinct worlds, of angels/normal/demons respectively. The daughters of both other worlds' kings get involved with one guy from the normal world, and I can't find it for the life of me. Help?

"Shuffle!"
The daughters in question are Sia (Gods) and Nerine (Demons) and I couldn't tell you the guys name if I tried (go figure).
I'm dead. Don't come looking for me.
