Hi!

So, I need help identifying this anime that i remember mostly about except the name Sad

It is set in the future where different countries have merged into new ones (like the South American Republic or along those lines...) Some people end up digging up a giant face of a Greek god and they find that someone is capable of talking to it.

Different countries end up finding different faces corresponding to different gods (like Hestia or Zeus) and they build mecha out of them. They mecha end up fighting each other on the instructions of the voices and the countries.

Perhaps Kishin Taisen Gigantic Formula?

Okay, this is a bit of a weird one.

The DMC announcement made me think about the DMC anime, which I watched on TV here. Since I can't remember what channel, I checked Wikipedia. Wikipedia says that it never aired in the US until FUNimation channel in 2010, and then on Chiller in 2015. As I moved in 2014, and I saw it before I moved, it couldn't've been on Chiller (which I don't think I get), and I've never had FUNimation channel.

I watched it dubbed, and I know that I watched at least some of the episodes On Demand (Comcast/Xfinity). We had a local(?) channel that would play some anime (dubbed and raw) called AZN (formerly International Channel), where I saw L/R and Descendants of Darkness, but it never had an On Demand presence. I'm pretty sure it wasn't Ani-Mondays on Sci-Fi/SyFy, either.

My only other guess would be it was FUNimation On Demand. Most of their shows are locked behind a paywall (since I don't have the channel, it's pay or subscribe), but it could have been one of the shows they offer for free.

Can anyone corroborate this, or offer another solution? Was it on FUNi's On Demand channel for free at one point, or is there another source it's aired on US TV that isn't recognized by Wikipedia (or this Encyclopedia, which I double checked on)?

DMC was definitely on Funimation on Demand, as corroborated by this ANN article:

animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-05-11/funimation-anime-on-demand-now-on-comcast-nationwide

It was probably available for free at some point, since what was available for free often rotated in and out.

Mostly likely that's how I saw it then. Thanks for helping me to clear that up!

Castien

Seeing as your post was seemingly transferred to this thread, you may want to add your original thread title to your post here (i.e., "Does anyone recognize which anime this is from?").

@ Castien: Since that appears to be a photo of a paper cut, and not a drawing or copied image, what makes you sure it's from an anime? I'm asking because, if it is, that might offer some clues as to what it's from.

I apologize if this question has already been asked/answered; I did not read through this entire thread. Anyway I have watched s-CRY-ed twice now (on Cartoon Network). I was wondering what the title means. If they mentioned it in the series, I missed it. Also, how do you pronounce it.... Is it s-cry-ed, or do you say it all together, like 'skrid or skred'?


Going off the katakana in the title, スクライド [sukuraido], I'm going with "skried," one syllable, which rhymes with the word "cried." Actually, this title is based on a rather obscure English word, "scry," meaning "to see or predict the future by means of a crystal ball," and "scryed" is a form of that word. This may have something to do with the content of the series, since some people have paranormal abilities. (I haven't seen s-CRY-ed, so I don't really know.)
Are there names for the different animation styles used in anime? For example, GitS SAC tends to use a realistic style, CLAMP a pretty-boy style, and recently seeing Air and the way it animated the females got me to wondering. I realize that customized models are constructed in a series' development, I'm just wondering if the general styles have terms attached to them

Hello all,

I have asked this before on other forums but never had any luck thus far!

The anime I am looking for will be from around or before 1997 as it was on SKY late one night when I was young (i'm from the UK). I do not know if it is a series or movie, Japanese/American etc but in my head I recall the animation having that sort of darker feel to it - maybe fist of the north star/demon city shinjuki style (could well be wrong on that).

The part that I hope helps to identify it is that I recall a young boy running through some sewers and there being loads of jeering monsters about and then I think there was some sort of Angel/Demon or Gundam battle at the end.

Sod all to go on! But I have watched probably well over 200+ series/films now trying to find this and still no luck.

Bergsala owns the rights to the Pokemon anime in Denmark, you need to negotiate directly with them, not Nintendo or The Pokemon Company.
