I am trying to remember the name of a anime series I used to have on dvd but have since lost it.
The anime was based around these children who are born in to a small community and all have wings.
They have a duty to help out in the human village.
The series follows the life cycle of one these "children" who is born in to the community in episode 1 and is followed through till she dies.

Can't remember the name for the life of me.

OK, here is an easy one.
Theres this boy who comes from a magical family, he gets involved in a love triangle.
One of the girls involved works at a cafe.

The wonderful K.O.R. (Whimiscal Orange Road)

I actually crushed on Madoka when I was younger. I used to also have a T-shirt with her on it.

What's funny was I was so emotionally tied up with the movie (Where Hyosuke *FINALY* sleeps with Madoka at the end) I was almost driven to tears. A few years later, I was explaining the show's premise to my then-girlfriend. I talked about how the family all has magic powers and how Kyosuke was in love with a girl and was powerless to do anything about it dispite all the abilities he had.

I conviced her to watch the movie, only to realize that, in the end, no one even used thier powers al all! Not only this, it wasn't even mentioned in the WHOLE MOVIE.

My then-girlfriend thought it was the lamest cartoon in history because she was expecting magic powers and stuff.

Oh well.

Sounds a bit like FF7

Well cloud didn't come from a magical family, but I see what you are getting at.

OK, here is a more recent anime that I have been watching lately;
The show starts off with a couple, the girl loses her memory and the series relates to their journey trying to recover the lost memories (If that made any sense).

And here is an easy second one:
A girl goes back in time to the Feudal warring era of Japan. People believe her to be the reincarnate of a former priestess.
She soon finds herself teaming up with other characters to find of demons and bring peace to the era (as well as other stuff - which would give it away).

First one is Tsubasa.
Second one is Inu-Yasha.

The Skillster · « **Reply #7 on:** 2007-02-20 06:55:13 »

Yep, easy wasn't it?
Here is one that came out last year in Japan.
Reality is not what it seems. The lead character is happily living out his youth in high school only to one day be shown that this life he has been living was only a simulation which repeats itself every year.

Relf · « **Reply #8 on:** 2007-02-21 00:48:14 »

...Sounds like my life.

That anime sounds awesome, I hope it has fansubs.

Zegapain is the anime, subbed originally by Megami Fansubs and the DVD version is being tackled by Shinsen Subs (but by their standards it will be verrry slow).
The Megami Subs have some very small quality issues near the end of the series (I think they wanted to get it over and done with so they could pack up and go home).
Check Anime-Suki they may have the torrents on their or check Baka-updates and they will have the torrents.
Zegapain is a fantastic sci fi anime with a fair share of Mecha and mind bending truths the fathom.

OK here is another anime to name:
The lead female cannot remember her past and constantly needs blood transfusions (as shown in episode 1), it seems as she was put into foster care by an unknown group.
As she learns about her past she realises she is less human than she originally imagined, and she is the only one who can stop her "twin" sister.

Its very funny i think, but also very brutal.

Borde · « **Reply #16 on:** 2007-03-13 20:55:53 »

Well, I think "funny" isn't the best word to describe it. That anime has very few of comedy. Althought it has some really hilarious scenes. "Give me back my leg!!!" I laughed a lot with that

(but I wonder if that's what the authors actually wanted).
Beware, this anime has some extremly gory scenes (far more than what you could have seen in a Resident evil or a Silent Hill game). The first episode it's specially hard.

ChaosControl · « **Reply #17 on:** 2007-03-14 10:07:42 »

Pfff, watching NGE again from boredom, advice me a good anime pls!

Borde · « **Reply #18 on:** 2007-03-14 12:54:28 »

Well, I'd recomend Trigun. It looks a bit goofy at first, but as the plot progresses, you can see a very intersting futuristic western story.

ChaosControl · « **Reply #19 on:** 2007-03-14 21:29:36 »

Already saw that one. Maybe something newer?
Thanks for the reccomendation anyway

Borde · « **Reply #20 on:** 2007-03-15 14:32:20 »

Mmmm... maybe Gungrave? It's a good anime, but I hate gangsters, so I wanted the main characters to die all the time.
