Ok, so there's a list page, but you can't get to it unless you do a site search first? Might as well just do the site search for the title you're looking for. I wonder why it was removed from the menu (but the alphabetical still thinks it's listed under N)?

Anyway, thanks for the info! Smile

IIRC, the reason it was taken down was because it was encouraging anything people considered "related" to be added to the Encyclopedia. There are now guidelines specifically for when things that aren't anime should or shouldn't be added.

What I do not understand is why Fantasy Kaleidoscope ~The Memories of Phantasm~ is still not listed in the Encyclopedia.

Hello, I'm fairly new to this so please forgive me if I skipped over some rules and stuff.

It's an old anime, I remember the main characters a pervert that can transform into a bear of sorts when angry. A girl likes him and her sister I think doesn't, they can both transform into older women with more curves. One of the girls has glasses and messy pink hair (?) And is a famous Hunter among demons. I remember the first episode having a villager girl needing help because her sister went missing, after the main character flirts with her they set to work. Turns out the villager girl helped the demon trap her sister in a mirror because of envy. At this point only the other sister (the one without pink hair) reveals her other form, while the pink haired one's remain unseen.

I'm sorry if this is vague but it's very old the anime, and I haven't watched for a few years Exclamation

Hi to y'all! I'm looking for an anime movie, this is what i remember:

i think it has been done in the 80' (made in Japan), and I can remember only one main thing: at a certain point (i think in the end of the movie) the villain starts to deforming himself increasing of size and merging himself with metal, till he explodes. I think there were a group of good guys, not only one.
This is what I remember, hope you can help me =)

I can't remember if it was a manga or an anime, but I remember it was about a boy who constantly changed back and forth from a boy to a girl and he was trying to help a girl out. He may have used a sword and believe that the people in the world could use magic. Could someone help me find out if it was an anime or a manga and what it was called?

Did he switch every time he submerged himself in various bodies of water?

If so, that's Ranma 1/2.

If not, I have no idea.

The only other anime I can think of that resembles that is gokudou-kun manyuuki

* The protagonist flips from male to female at least twice during the anime
* There is a girl who accompanies him (but he isn't trying to help her)
* He gains a magic sword that he uses throughout the show
* Plenty of people in that world have magic as it is inhabited by mages, demons and supernatural creatures

However Gokudou was a 1999 comedy mocking a lot of the fantasy RPG tropes of the 80s and 90s so it may well be I'm barking up the wrong tree there Laughing

(Apologies for earlier version with terrible spelling mistakes - inhibited *facepalm*)
