I think we've got all of them except 11 and 21.

@ Dessa: 11 doesn't look like Clamp's style from that time period. It looks to me like it might be Krauser from Fatal Fury 2 or possibly Joe Hisashi without his headband (but he's never without his headband, is he?). I dunno, those trifurcated brows ought to be a clue, but my google-fu isn't helping.

7 is from Michael Jackson's black or white video, about 2 minute mark.

I'll say this to see if it jogs something loose in somebody else's memory:

I now suspect 11 is an off color Gaav from Slayers Next, but don't know what episode it might be. Or a flashback scene from Slayers Try.

21 looks like a woman on a bike, and it feels familiar to me. I thought for a long time it was the motorcycle woman from Golden Boy, but I watched her episode and the last one where she runs anime cells, and came up short. My second guess was that she could be Angel from Angel Cop, but I don't really have that to watch right now.

Yeah, it seems so. Thanks all

I Googled the AMV mentioned in the OP and it lists years that the shows aired. If anyone cares to stop frame by frame to capture the missing/unnamed shows, here's the link.
6.

That is actually my AMV channel

Perhaps Kotonoha Katsura from the School Days franchise. This particular image may be from one of the games rather than an anime episode. Hopefully someone here more familiar with the franchise can pinpoint the exact source of this image.

This image seems to be a composite of characters from different shows. It might be fan art.

I am pretty sure that the girl on our right is Kanoe Subaru from Mayo Chiki.
Who is the girl on the left, with the dark hair?

I like the look of the character, and I would probably be interested in a show that has that character. Assuming that she really is an anime character.

The image is from the J-List blog.
The site is probably not safe for work, even though it does not have any adult content.

The one on the left is Ganaha Hibiki from THE iDOLM@STER, and you're already correct about the one on the right.

Thank you, Parse Error.
It looks like THE iDOLM@STER was never licensed for a disc release in the US. That explains why I have never seen it, even though it is definitely of interest to me.
The show is definitely on my list of things to try if it ever is released on disc, or if I ever get in a situation where streaming works for me.

So, yeah... the word "Popo" is the only anchor I have to the anime. I think it's been brodcast no more than twice in my country, and each tried I tried to find out the title, or a character name, but it was a long time ago...

So, as far as the plot goes. This two kids (brother and sister) don't like their grandmother for whatever reason, and their parents come up with this idea to go out one night and leave the kids alone with their grandma, whom everybody in the movie calls "Popo". The kids aren't thrilled abot it. So Popo possesses some sort of magic and (either acidentally or deliberately) sends these kids back in time, I don't remember if she goes with them or not. So they end up in some woods and the first house they find happens to be a witch's house. The house was rectagular-shaped and had some weird traps and moving walls. Basically she invites them to spend the night and through the rest of the movie they're trying to escape this house. The final scene shows the parents coming back home to see the kids cheering with Popo trying to teach her how a remote-controlled car toy works.

And this is literally all I remember, I tried searching for it in many ways, but I've had no lack for the past 7 years, so this kinda my last resort. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Hello guys, here's a hypothetical question regarding Macross in general. We all know the Variable fighters were designed by Kawamori Shouji. Let's say that someday a country other than Japan makes an actual working VF, would they have to pay him a licensing fee/tribute? If they don't want to, could they argue that because his design was for a fictional work, but whomever build it were able to create the technical aspect of it in real life.

Probably not considering there have been other fighters in other series not designed by Kawamori that were transformable as wel. They'd probably come up with a design that was completely different from anything that Kawamori designed, but even if they did, say use the VF-1 design for an actual variable fighter, I think Kawamori would have a real hard time trying to get a foreign government to pay a licensing fee.

This may be a tough one to ID since I remember so little of it, but one of the characters was an extremely monotone, no-effort kind of woman and one of the guy characters I believe has her do some acting for some reason, which is really ineffectual and hilarious due to her deadpan monotone.
