General Anime Q&A Thread

[Tenshi]

There are zillions of anime around and making threads for each of them is for sure over the top.

This thread is there to ask simple questions about anime.
Questions like:

• I saw this anime many years ago and I don't remember the title. Help please?
• How many episodes are there in Inuyasha?
• ...

If you happen to stumble over this forum, being clueless about the whole anime business you might also ask yourself:

• What IS anime and what is the difference to manga?
• My daughter says she likes shonen ai. What is that?
• ...

Simply a thread about anime related things, where own threads would be a waste of space.

I saw the first episode of an anime at a con earlier this year but cant remember what it's called. There was a boy moving into a flat for college and there's this 'weird' woman who lives next door. The city is surrounded by a giant wall or something and this woman is part of some organisation that is guarding something and there's this other group of 'baddies' after what she's got. One of the people in her group turned out to be evil and attacked her. She runs away and runs into her new neighbour. This 'bad guy' finds them and throws the boy onto the railway tracks.

If that sounds familiar to anyone, please tell me, it's driving me crazy.

I thought about it and I can't come up with any anime that fits your description.

The only anime I know where a guy, moved into a flat and has a neighbour who keeps secrets and about an organisation, is Chobits. But the other things you mention doesn't fit in there.

Now that's going to drive me crazy too. I know I've heard of that, but I can't remember the name.

This doesn´t ring a bell here so far. Is it more a whole series or a movie? And do you remember when it came out?

I have a question: does Dream Theater's music video for Forsaken count as anime?

It was produced by Gonzo.

Ok, I know this is a really late response . But (unless you've already found it after these few years), I believe the anime you're looking for is Darker Than Black...

Question: Revival/bumping an old thread (if there is an old thread), is that more favorable than creating a new thread? Ah, never mind ... it seems my topic doesn't exist ...

Anyone interested in discussing Pandora Hearts, 1/2 Prince, Full Metal Alchemist, or just rearing to go with discussion of a specific anime? Cause I so do enjoy my anime ... but sadly seems the section is relatively ... lagging in activity, ;________; I so love anime. Hm.

Always bump an old thread. Dupe threads will be closed and merged with the old one anyway.

There must be a Full Metal Alchemist thread. I'd be very surprised if not.

As for the others, either create a new thread for each of them or use general threads like Anime Recommendations etc to discuss them.

Ha there Fullmetal Alchemist

[Sk8]

I hadn't searched for Full Metal Alchemist yet, I actually had only searched for Pandora Hearts anime with no results - as for the latter listed interests, there's little point reviving a dead thread if no one will discuss it with me, xD I'd rather just leave continuing to lie where its at for the time being.

Anyway, thankye very much, Tenshi.
