There's this anime about a teenage boy who's relative (sister or aunt maybe?) is either sick or simple abandons her little girl (preschool age) and the boy is such a good guy that he basically raises her. it's super cute and the little girl chants "onigiri" in the sing-song voice.

I have 2:
1. Anime with giant robots, and the main character is kind of nerdy and socially awkward. In the last episode all of the characters wake up on a beach, and as soon as they see they're all alive they start laughing. also, there was an arcade game that would help them control the robots or something, I don't know. If it helps, this aired on g4 when they still had their anime block.
2. A video game which involves being a mosquito.

This one has been bugging me for years, and I just can't figure it out. I believe the film was anime of somekind, and it involved an innocent girl who starts the film in a wheel chair. And there is some kind of evil thing that sits on a throne in some other place trying to destroy her. He has minions who makes out of grubs in a bowl near his thrown and tries to stop the girl from doing something, not sure what. There is also some kind of world change or something and the girl can walk in this other place. Any ideas?

Randomly I remembered this anime I watched at anime club but can't seem to find it again. It was a space mecha show that ended with the girl pilot getting lost in space after the battle. When she finally returned to earth they lit up the city lights with a welcome message for her even though it was years and years later. It had to be a 90s anime since they played a part of the dvd that had a character give backstory or something and as she went through the planets she appeared in the outfits of the Sailor Moon girls for each. Please help as my google skills are failing me today!

I'm pretty sure this is an anime dubbed in English that I'm looking for. I remember it from when I was very young, so the mid-eighties. The premise is a town in the countryside full of animal families, most (if not all) consisting of parents, a son, and a daughter. The focus is on the rabbit family, I think. The girl bunny had a pink dress and a bow on one ear.
It had a toy house line to go with it that I saw even years later in catalogs. I have the Post Office building, with (plastic) stained-glass carrot window over the front door, that I got from a yard sale. You could purchase the families as sets, but I can't remember any of the other animals outside of raccoons.
I know it's very little to go on, but it has really been bugging me.

I might as well bring this up to see if someone here can prove to me if this memory is from a real experience or was just made up by my brain somehow. I could have sworn I saw a certain scene from either of the Bible-themed shows Superbook and Flying House. In this scene there was a large gathering in front of a stage, and my memory says Jesus was standing at the back with some soldiers, and a large crowd gathered in front; for me it's reminiscent of the Pontius Pilate scene in the Bible. There's some guy with some rank/prestige standing center stage, wearing a shiny (silver?) robe, who was laughing and showing it off to the people. Out of nowhere came a small spider which climbed on the unsuspecting man's leg and bit him. The man instantly died, apparently from poisoning. I have never encountered a Bible story like this. Maybe Jesus wasn't there; maybe it was some other Biblical character; or maybe it all came from a different show that may not have anything to do with the Bible. So if anyone here has encountered such a scene from an animated work, please let me know so that I can put my mind at ease. Thanks for listening!

I believe this was an anime, but I'm not sure. It was about movie length or so and judging from the quality, I'm guessing it originated in the '90s.
It was about a community of animals, similar to Watership Down and The Animals of Farthing Wood, except that it took place in a marsh or swamp. The cast consisted mainly of anthropomorphic frogs and such. Anyone could die—young, old, male, female, mainly because of a group of villains who bullied the town. It was very traumatic for me to watch at the time since I was a kid.

Sometimes I see this thing in AM Vs, so I'm pretty sure it's from an anime...
It contains a scene where a bathroom stall opens up to reveal a clown-ish looking guy making this weird noise... roughly "breeeee". He may or may not have been wearing a sailor costume (not like that)

Magical Girl series, where there's three girls and each has a psychic power. Don't remember much more after that.

I'm trying to find out where this image (http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/being-perverse-is-bad.jpg) is from. All I've found is that it's an H-movie, and the character pictured is Nina. I'm not certain, though.

I've been looking for an anime movie/short series for a while. It's about a boy (blue yes, black hair, lanky) who discovers that he's half-alien and has to save his mother/girlfriend/family from his alien counterparts, who want to use him for....something. He's chased by two other half-aliens (a brother and a sister, who, for some reason, I think were faternal twins), and there's sexual tension between both the girl half-alien and the the Main half-alien character, as well as between the the brother and sister.
The secene that stands out in my mind is where they corner the Main Character, and he uses a glove (yes, a *glove*) to access some kind of magic/technology to knock them both out. Then, the Aliens come and demand the Main Character goes with them because the "glove has chosen you". He refuses, and fights them off, only to be left on the ground (knocked out) when the half-alien girl wakes up, steals the glove from the aliens, and uses it against them before the glove starts to break her hand.
It was on in the 90s-I want to say early to mid (1990-1997)-and I know it part of a larger series/broken-up movie. It was on either on Syfi (during their anime mondy special) or on Fox (about 9:30-11:00 pm).
Does this sound familer to anyone?

It's a manga, and there's this teen boy who's been reincarnated, along with his friends and wife from his past life. He's the only one who remembers their past life, and the only one who knows who they all were. The twist is that is past wife is know his best (male, I'm pretty sure) friend, and his past best friend is now a cute girl!

I know this was a Gundam but I can't remember which one it was and I can't seem to find the right one on the actual page. That being said, I've never watched any other Gundam show, so my details might not be helpful I know I saw in the 90's and it was playing in America, probably on Cartoon Network. I remember that there were these...chunks of land in space which I think served as the capitals for various countries. The Gundams were sent to earth to keep the peace by destorying the face of the planet (which might be common?). The mian character was a Japanese guy with a older brother who he either wanted to be or to fight; his girlfriend's name was Rain and she was a doctor. There was his red-headed French knight who was also a Gundam fighter. And there was something about the main characters getting card names like the "Queen of diamonds" or somthing (which also might be common?). There was also this...cyborg virus/cheating thing? While I remember a LOT about it I can't remember the name, please this has been bugging me for years.

This was a movie, I think. I watched it on video in class at some point during elementary school, so early '90s and definitely not any later than 1995. (This was in the US.) It featured a boy without a mother, who lived in a village near a big lake. It turns out that, when his mother was pregnant with him, there was a famine in the village. She caught three (I think?) fish from the lake, but instead of sharing them among the whole village, she was so hungry from her pregnancy that she ate two herself. As punishment, she was turned into this giant sea serpent thing that lived in the lake and - if I'm recalling correctly - sort of resembled a Chinese dragon. The boy finds out and interacts with her. I can't remember much of the plot after this, but I know she dies, possibly because the lake dries up. I remember a shot of him sitting with her on the dried lake bed, and a shot of her dessicated form. I don't remember how it ends, though I think she may have come back to life as a woman.
Probably a comedy, most likely after 2000. The scene I recall is a spoof of the first episode of Onegai Teacher when Kazami first enters the class she is teaching. However in this anime the teacher, instead of staring shyly, flips out and throws a desk at the students that tried to joke with her.
