I need to know I name of this one cartoon. There are monsters, some of them have blue, some of them have red and some of them have yellow energy and when they are tired they return to their tubes. They are in their tubes and when a character says name of a monster SPIN!!! The character uses their fingerprint when they spin the tube, and then the monster comes out. I hope you can help me with this, any suggestions would be  awesome, thanks in advance. There is one monster called Lock, but I'm not sure on the spelling

It’s a lot like Pokémon, but instead of pokeballs, there are blue cylinders and I remember this one creature that was a giant white bear with blue crystals on its back. I think the main guy is trying to find his father?

It's a narration cartoon about a town that has weird paranormal occurrences in it.  It focused on different characters from time to time but the main character narrates an intro and the outro in a lessons learned kind of style.  Main character is a short kid with light blue/greenish skin and darker blue hair.(and if I am not mistaking a Hawaiian shirt).  His friends are a yellowish skater with a baseball cap and 3-d glasses and a slender girl with pinkish skin and purple pigtail hair and a large nose.  It is a western animation (set in North America it seems) and aired on FoxKids/Jetix about over decade ago (in the Netherlands).  An example of an episode is when the skater friend of the main character discovers he has a guardian angel who is in love with him, feeling invincible he becomes more and more reckless and the guardian angel becomes more protective restricting his freedom (don't remember how it ended).  It was an okay show, nothing special but it has been bugging me for weeks that I can't remember the name.

This is one of the few movies I saw on one of my relative's computer screen when I was little. As I was too young to understand anything, it was approximately 15 to 20 years ago (I believe the movie couldn't have come out after 2000, but the quality of the pictures looked good enough that I have my doubts).   The movie I am looking for was fully animated. Potentially a Japanese animated movie, but I can't tell for sure, as I was too young to tell the difference between Japanese, English or any language. There may be blood in the movie, but I can't tell for sure. However, now that I'm looking back, the drawing style looked slightly Japanese, although it was more of the bloody kind (I could slightly compare its style to "Blood: The Last Vampire" (2000)). Maybe it had an Asian tone to it (e.g. it could be a Korean animated movie too).   One of the "bad guys" was a tall, heavy guy, in a very armoured suit. I can't tell whether he was wearing a suit, or if his body was enhanced because he survived an accident (although I have some form of memory about the latter). Most of his body was covered, but I remember his face not being covered. The most distinctive feature he had was the fact that he had a Minigun where one of his arm should be (a bit like Barret in Final Fantasy 7). I think the first time we see him, he's seen crushing a metallic ashtray with his other hand.   A battle scene in the movie includes the heavy guy having a shoot-out against a relatively thin guy (or should I say "normal-sized man"), fighting him with a machine-gun mounted vehicle (he wasn't the one driving; he was shooting from the back of the vehicle). While they were shooting at each others, I remember the heavy guy screaming (nothing in particular, he was just shouting continuous "AAAHH~!!" in pure rage). The fight didn't seem to happen in a city. It slightly looked like a battlefield. The fight ended with some form of explosion, probably killing off the heavy armoured guy.   The other noticable character was a young boy. He looked... pale, almost weird. His skin was almost green, otherwise he looked like a regular child. He seemed to have some psychic powers too: at some point, when he was feeling uneasy and sweating, a man picked a sample of blood from the back of his neck, using a portable device. But when the man was... either incapacitated or down, that boy broke the device containing his blood simply by looking at it.   At some point near the end of the movie, the pale looking boy and some people (with scientists among them) seemed to be inside a huge facility or underground hangar. There was a lot of space, although I can't remember if it was a factory, or if it was an underground weapon storage. The child was also giving some form of speech too, as all the lights turned on suddenly. The others were possibly surprised by what they were seeing.   One last detail I remember about that child is his smile. While it wasn't as scary as the Joker's, his grin was... kind of creepy, because of how he looked at the others with his small round eyes. He was oftenly grinning.   Overall, most of the scenes I remember were quite dark (mostly because there was little light, or it was night time). The two exception being the battle scene (although it was dark, there was a lot of muzzle fire), and the last underground scene with the boy.   When I asked my relative about the movie, all they could tell me was: "The coloured word 'Aiko' was written on the cover of the CD".

I have been trying to find a cartoon I watched as a kid. It was shown on Sky Movies (UK) in 1989 or 1990 in the kids cartoons slot on Sky Analogue. It featured a team of four characters, possibly starting out in a spaceship, that land on a planet. The planet was empty except for sand and various buildings. There were one or two giant (70ft or more) oval shaped robots that the characters were hiding from. The robots were primary colors (red and blue I think), with heads that turned constantly looking for the characters. It was anime in appearance (certainly looked different from the Danger Mouse/Hanna Barbera cartoons that were usually shown on TV at the time) with lots of fast paced running sequences. One of the main characters had a cigar that stayed in the air when he spoke (shouted really). Any ideas??

I remember watching a cartoon as a child, in the 80s or early 90s and I can't remember the title (or a lot of details about it). The setting reminds me of "Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water": we could be at the end of the 19th century, but my memory does not support me much in this.   Anyways, the protagonist of the cartoon is a girl on a wheelchair who is supported by a female genie wearing "One Thousand and One Nights" clothes. The genie protects the little girl from the assaults of the minions of an evil entity; in the first episode of the series the minions disguise themselves as workers of a circus just arrived in the town where the little girl lives. For some reasons I do not remember, the evil entity wants to terminate the little girl.  At the end of each episode the minions are inevitably defeated by the magic of the genie and the evil entity transforms them in little worms, for eternal punishment. The worms retain the original heads (so they continue to talk to the evil entity) and live in a rocky-bowl next to their master.

Been trying to track down some of my old favorites from the 80s era of anime, one that has refused to show up in search after search has brought me here with the hope that someone might know of it.  Details: Sci-fi anime series (viewed on American TV early weekday mornings) during the 80s. Heroes drove cars and enemies were cars, with the heroic cars being high-tech and each unique, and enemies being some organic spore-based grow-on-demand instant cars. One of the latter had a bola style weapon, forget the others.  Characters were quite obviously modelled after Star Wars 4, I forget what their cars were capable of except in one case:  -"Han" owned the starship they traveled on, "Luke" was main character (?), "Ben" and "Leia" rode in the same car, which had a drill for going underground.  As far as what year the title was aired, I can't say for certain, around the mid 80s I can say confidently.

Alright, so I've been looking everywhere I could think of for just the name of this live-action movie for years. I watched it back around 2003-4.  It starts out with a group of friends throwing disks and "shooting" them with the magic from their weapons. I can remember two of the weapons; a trident with Lightning/electricity, and a sword with fire. The person with the trident was darker in skin tone than the rest and wore mostly blueish colors.  The group goes out on a quest (not sure the reason for it) and they come across monsters on their journey. They end up fighting the monsters one on one (not sure why, the fights happened at different times.)  The monsters I can remember are a Stone monster (fully animated) an Ice monster (more like a human, it speaks in a scratchy voice. Breaks out of the ice when first encountered,) and a sea monster (the man with the trident defeats it).  Does anyone know what this is?

I was curious on looking to how does an anime topology look like. I've looked into pictures and videos and I thought the best way to learn took into it is to see it for myself. So I used ninja ripper to rip a model from Fate/EXTELLA (cause it's the only game in my machine for now). Her name is Tamamo:  Why does it have triangles here? I thought we should only use Quads?

What is the point of throwing candy on the ground using the "Throw 10 candies on the ground"? All that seems to happen is that the text under it becomes more and more disappointed in me. ಠ_ಠ

What is the name for these type of images? I love these kind of graphics and it's so flat which totally matches my current product development.      Do we have a name for it? A name will make it easier to search for examples and how to's.

I have vague memories of a cartoon which would have been made in the 80s or early 90s - I would say that the animation looked like it was from the 80s but I would have seen it on UK television around 1990-94. I get the impression it was European in origin, possibly originally produced in a non-English language (German? French?) and later re-dubbed. I think it was shown in the UK on channel 4 in an early morning slot (like 6:30am or something).  It was set in space or had some space elements and I believe the main character or another very prominent character had a full beard and he (and the show?) may have been named after a character from greek (or other ancient) mythology? I want to say Hercules but I know that's not right. Any ideas?

I've been searching the entire Internet for this show about 4 teenagers that enter a video game world where they have to fight monsters that looked like insects. Every time they had to enter the world, they'd go down in the sewers and one of the guys had a skateboard, a girl had a scooter and that's what I can remember. There was also one guy that always stayed behind to check their "health" in the game and pull them out in case they took too much damage to avoid them dying inside the game. I don't know if it was animated or not so there's not much to go on at all but hopefully someone might know what show it is?

So I see an image that I believe is from either an anime or a manga. What are some ways that I can go about finding what series it's from?

I am trying to find a game that I had a starter set to when I was younger. I tried doing some online research, but honestly, I don't even know where to start and I can't find anything for it at my local comic/board game shop. I think that it was named something-"scape". I believe that I bought it sometime between 2003 and 2007, but my memory could be a little hazy on that that.  The Board  The board was different every time you played because it was made up of a bunch of chunks of hexagons (like honeycombs) that you could put together any way you want. You could even stack them on each other to create different levels. The hexa-combs were made out of plastic and I think they kinda clicked together.  Gameplay  Disclaimer: I was a kid when I played so I could have been disregarding any number of rules and not playing correctly at all, so take this with a grain of salt. You controlled a few different heroes and/or monsters (I remember a dragon that took up 2 spaces and I think an archer of some sort?). You moved around the terrain you built and did battle with the enemies heroes/mosters. I do not recall if it was a dice-based game or not. I think each character has a stats card. Unfortunately, I don't remember much about how it was actually played.  Expansion Sets  As I said, I think I had a starter set, which seemed to be generic-fantasy themed, but I think there were other sets that could be bought that had heroes/monsters from lots of other genres and more hexagons so that you could wind up with a huge battle with tons of genres mixing it up.  Can anyone point me to this game?

I looked at MyAnimeList, there is a classic series, it's Devilman, had an anime adaptation in January 5th, 2018. I am interested to watching this series. Quick search for these series, it has a lot of adaptations since 1970's.   Do I have to watch all of those serieses before started to watch Devilman: Crybaby? Are these series unrelated to the past series?  Note: I have never watched or tried to watch this series, so I have no idea about this franchise.

I'm searching for a music video that has a scene exactly the same as the  film, with the boy and the monster.   It's not a song from the soundtrack!  It's just an underrated song with an awesome video.

As I'm sure many of you do, I read the  webcomic regularly. The  involves a joke about the Axiom of Choice, which I didn't get.     I went to Wikipedia to see what the Axiom of Choice is, but as often happens with things like this, the Wikipedia entry is not in plain, simple, understandable language. Can someone give me a nice simple explanation of what this axiom is, and perhaps explain the XKCD joke as well?
