The first episode of Amazing Stranger reminded me of Hand Maid May.

Basically years ago I watched this one magic + romance anime and really liked it.

I wish to rewatch it, but I can't seem to find it, even when googling a bit of what I remember about it.

Basically all I can remember from it is this one guy sacrifices his magic points (I don't remember what it was called, but I remember it had some system of how much magic a person has and if it hits 0 they die I think) for a girl that was quickly losing all her magic points. He proceeds to hold a cross/some object wrapped around his neck (I believe it was) and chants something. He then proceeds to basically sacrifice his magic points to save the girl and he ends up "Disappearing" when in reality he just ended up getting duplicated so many times.

Thanks!

Sounds like Maburaho. It is on my list to re-watch too Smile

Because of KristyStevens & me just saying, I checked out the Encyclopedia page and found this gem of a review:
Carlos Santos wrote:
Ah, the harem genre! What would anime be without it? A much more tolerable form of entertainment, probably. Maburaho is another entry into the fanservice-choked "moe" trend of the early-to-mid-00's, this time bringing magic and spellcasting to the table. If you like big pouty eyes and even bigger boobs and random scenes of undressed girls, then make sure to add this to that ever-growing list of guilty pleasure titles. Some of the better scenes are inspired enough to be appreciated without raging hormones, but to fully enjoy Maburaho, you've got to be ready for the familiar premise of a below-average guy fending off girls who literally want to have his babies.
[...]
Maburaho feels like more of an unfinished prototype for the harem genre than an actual anime series. The plot is there, but it lacks any defining elements besides the general theme of magic; the characters are there, but they don't have any particular traits apart from being, well, the one loser guy and the cookie-cutter hot girls chasing after him. There's the occasional promise of great animation and great drama, but not enough of it, and the plain artwork makes it look like the staff forgot to put the finishing touches (except for the T&A, of course). If they had just taken more time to think about what to put into the story, and how to make the visuals stand out, but then you'd be watching Negima instead... which is more fun anyway.

As you might guess, I have a soft spot in my heart for critics who type with razor blades! Smile Cool Very Happy Laughing

Absolutely. Very similar plots. Which one did you like better Alan45? Smile
Personally, I found Hand Maid May more fascinating and reflecting more to reality than Amazing Stranger. But both of them really good ones indeed!

Both have previously been discussed on this forum, I leave the links here for someone who might not know the plots and would be interested Smile

Hey, From wich animes are that pics ?
[removed image links to reduce post size]

The images are used in an article hosted on the same website as the links. They are all from hentai, so searching titles is NSFW.
https://eyevocal.ottawa-anime.org/beingupfront/03.htm (probably NSFW since these are buxom ladies, not explicit screenshots though)

1 - Ayame Fudo from Angel Blade
2 - Angel Beretta from Angel Blade Punish!
3 - Angel Blade from Angel Blade
4 - Chloe from Angel Blade
5 - Widow from Angel Blade Punish!
6 - Rui-sempai from episode 4 of Cool Devices
7 - Ayaka from episode 11 of Cool Devices


Thanks, could you tell me how you do to find the article link ?

Also I would have to knew from wich anime provide that pics:

I much preferred Hand Maid May. It had more of a plot, though I'm not sure how much reality is reflected in any show around a sentient 1/6 figure. Very Happy I was only able to finish a few episodes of the Amazing Stranger.

The person who used the images made a large alphabetized catalog of large-chested women in anime. I deleted the latter URL portion in the image link to get http://eyevocal.ottawa-anime.org/beingupfront/ The images can be dragged into Google Images search bar to find where they are used.

1 - Elaine from Angel Blade (hentai title NSFW)
2 - Karin from Angel Blade (hentai title NSFW)
3 - Miho Utsuse from Key the Metal Idol
4 - Errinundra answered this one


Thanks horseradish Wink .

Hey guys,

I saw an image on twitter, and I know I've seen this before, but I can't for the life of me remember where it's from. I've tried Reverse image searching, and I've come up empty.
