The 'Help Identifying This Anime/Character' Thread (v10)

LemonLime23 said:
I've searched for this for so long, please help me. 


What I can remember: The mc who is female was abandoned by her father, her mother died, she joined a sect, went to the mountains with a person who is now her teacher. The mc hates her father for leaving them, it has something to do with the mothers health after he left, from the little I remember it was either her mothers health went down because he left or he never responded when his wife(who he left) was on her deathbed. She's not a returner or reincarnator she's from this world that the story takes place in, this place is filled with cultivators. The main focus was cultivation and had barely if any relationships, She is short with gray or black hair(Somewhere in the middle), she has a magic cube that allows her to communicate with other people from different worlds. the magical cube is unlocked by the mc when she goes into the cave area of her room. This is the most that I can clearly remember but the stuff I can't fully remember but know they happened are: There was this outing(something like that, possibly a secret world that are in multiple other cultivation manga/ anime's) for the whole sect where they went to this place with many monsters, there was this stampede of sorts that the students had to fight off, some stuff happens with side-characters and they try to betray her(maybe) she finds this huge overpowered monster that tries to kill her, she runs to a house while trying to escape and meets a guy who teaches her for some time. After awhile they leave the place she's hiding at and I think they fought and killed that monster. She had twin tail hair style and two round buns on each tail, kind of like sailor moon but the 2 round buns are more prominant, the whole hair setup is A. style: Twin tails with buns B. color: grayish blackish with a hint of brown so it's not exactly monochromatic. The clothing style is really "Cultivator" style. It has a dark tone to it. It was on both webnovel and manga sites, the manga was unfinished. Had around 100 chapters but take that with a grain of salt and say more than 50 present chapters. The rubix cube took her to, I think, a tree that had her contact with someone from a different world who helped her with a recipe/cultivation technique(Not sure which) and this person guides her on how to use this in communication and trading with other people.

 Is it Demons and Gods" https://myanimelist.net/anime/35626/Yao_Shen_Ji


@Elmirai could it be this Origin: Spirits of the Past ?

@ioky6  could it be Drifters?
@damiJESUS don't think it's from any anime. it's just an anime art.

ioky6 said:


Hey there! No it's not drifters. Although Nazis were mentioned, it doesn't have a fight with Goebbels in it. In that anime, Goebbels literally turns his soldiers into fighter jets and tanks.

anybody know what shes from? https://imgur.com/a/YULnscY i think someone said she was supposed to be from Demon Sword Master Excaliber but when i went to the page and under characters she isnt there so i wasnt sure.

TsutanaiFuun said:
hmm then it could be Fate/Apocrypha i think.

ioky6 said:


Hey there, I don't think that's it also.

If it helps there's another fight between the same faith like character and an angel. It was a back and forth fight because the angel started losing his powers as his followers were converted. He managed to turn the tides and seal his opponent together with him.

That's all I can remember for now

Where is the cover art from? I tried googling power slave both in Japanese and in English, but all I'm getting is Iron Maiden.

I’d like to know what anime this is from and if that’s what he’s really saying. 

nevermoreHOAR said:
I looked but idk. I wonder cause this guy is wearing a hoodie and the pics of Mawaru they are in school uniforms but maybe I’ll watch the anime anyway - it’s been on my PTW list a while.

machy871 said:


Umm, it's not as if people do not change clothes.
It's in the middle of the first episode if you would like to check.

Looking for a Harem anime from around the late 90s-possibly as far as the late 00s.

Iirc the protagonist inherits a decent sized estate from either his grandmother (or his aunt) where multiple women and a girl either live or frequent, I don't directly remember how big it was, however I do recall it had a fenced in onsen they frequently would use.

I believe the protagonist was studying for college entry exams, and the plot possibly centers around him trying to study but being frequently disturbed.

One episode I recall in particular, he somehow falls down a chute or runs into a room and finds a karakuri doll, she iirc doesn't work when found, but is repaired and comes to life adding a side girl to the harem.

The series afair ends with a movie (possibly after he gets into college?)

Any help would be super appreciated, I'm willing to bet it's not a very good series but would still like to rewatch to see if it's any good. Tyfyt.

Tysm that's it, I've been wondering what it was for easily over a decade. You are a gracious wizard!

Hi, so there is this anime that is possibly from between 2000-2010 that I'm trying to find for my boyfriend. He recalled it having an action naval theme, possibly military/spy stuff, and it didn't seem heavy on the fan service. There seemed to be pretty decent gender equality, and it seemed serious in tone. There was a group of people working together to stop some kind of a threat. But there is a specific scene he recalled with a girl looking through some kind of telescope out into a sparkling blue ocean on a sunny day. There was a rocky beach and a lighthouse and a small port town. But there was something about an explosion happening on the beachfront, and the characters were trying to figure out who attacked through the use of a radar. But that's all he can remember. If anyone can help us, we'd greatly appreciate it!

Need source for these hentai shots:

Little_Firefly said:


It was neither of those... It might not be a popular series. But the girl was looking through a telescope. She was either outside on the top of the boat/submarine looking through it or on the inside looking through the scope. I think the setting also looked kind of Mediterranean, but it was definitely ocean-centric. We don't think it was a waifu-heavy series either.

When I was young I watched an anime set in Japan, from what I can remember the story was in the rural Japan, it was definitely set in the 20th century. The style resembles STUDIO GHIBLI and it looked like it was made in the 80s. From what I remember from the story the Mc was a boy (probably a teenager thought I don’t remember his age) and there was a train, the boy was caught in a earthquake it was chaotic. 

This isn’t grave of fireflies though it ressemble and I have no idea if it’s a STUDIO GHIBLI film but if it is I wouldn’t be surprise 

I watched it on tv so it’s probably not a obscure anime but I wasn’t able to find it so any help will be welcome, thank in advance.
