The best I could find about that picture was a German fanfiction manga describing her as "Hakashi Mayu, neighbor of Joey" from Yu Gi Oh. I couldn't find anything about her outside of that fanfiction, though. I'm not sure how accurate that information is, but it might help.

From a game called Snow. There's no anime adaptation. I think I read somewhere that it's similar to Kanon.

Retsu-kun got this exactly right. It is the horror/gore manga "Gyo" by Junji Ito(at least the original art is, no idea about that translation =P).

I've seen this image floating around on the web for 5 or so years now with no origin given. My best guess, based on the general character appearance, the ears, the text about Mars to the side, and the logo below her neck that looks almost like one from Nergal, is that this is some type of very nice fanart based in some degree on the Nadesico: Prince of Darkness movie.
That looks nothing like the nergal logo, the eye color is wrong, and if you read the whole thing, you'd know that it isn't relevant to Nadesico whatsoever, aside from the Mars part.

That looks nothing like the nergal logo, the eye color is wrong, and if you read the whole thing, you'd know that it isn't relevant to Nadesico whatsoever, aside from the Mars part.

If I'd known a Nadesico fan was going to read this, I would have added more detail in my reasoning from the start.

Well, I did misspeak on the logo -- that's (to me, at least) reminiscent of Nergal's actual Nadesico logo painted on the side of the ship rather than that of Nergal itself. Maybe it's a future stylized version or just different enough not to get them sued -- who knows. No, it doesn't look like it precisely, but I still think they're not dissimilar. The eye color was definitely wrong, but since I figured the character was supposed to be some future version of genetic enhancement, the author just made them look how they wanted (a rather convenient exception, I know -- this was the aspect of the picture that troubled me the most.) As far as the text goes, I did read it, but any attentive viewing of anime will tell you that whenever they need English on a particular topic, some Japanese creators will pull blocks of semi-related text out of the blue with only tangential relation (q.v., newspapers, personnel reports, etc.) The actual irrelevance of the "article" save for the Mars part is actually what persuaded me that it was not added later but a Japanese original somehow hinting at the character.

Of course, it's all entirely speculative and stretching as stated earlier. One could argue that the binary in the lower corner represents their ability to control the ships and it would be no better than an argument that it suggests a .hack origin for the picture. It could very well be a completely original idea or part of some other franchise. I just thought it was coincidental. If anyone knows for certain I'd love to have an answer on this one too.

After thinking about it for a while, it could be original artwork, or maybe even fanart, with the logo just being a mock up of the other ship's logos, using the Nadesico's as a base.

Its most likely MS Negima, the original, because of the animation. And I think your 2nd pic is the Class Rep person from the same anime.

Komachi Tsugumi from a visual novel called Ever17 -the out of infinity-. I heard it's good.

The 5th looks a bit familiar to me, I remember seeing a pic with the same girl or uniform I think, but I don't know exactly where. Looks like it's from a visual novel though.

this one:


and I remember watching this on TV a couple of years ago. It is about a girl with brown hair that lives in the countryside with two brothers and a father. Then one of her brothers disappear on one of his expeditions. The girl recieves a necklace which contains a blue powder. She then goes on a journey to find her brother and to solve the mystery with the powder. What show is this?

Yup, she's from a game called Pure Pure Mimi to Shippo no Monogatari (Pure Pure The Story of Ears and Tails). Pretty sure that's Hinata.
