user2869: With so many 1 line name of anime answer right now. We've previously voted that we need a set of guidelines
There's also a meta discussion about cleaned up identification-request answer, but right now there's nothing that explain what constitutes a good answer to an identification request question and how to write one.
So what can I do to make a better answer for identification-request question

user2869: 1) Image or video identification

Name of character/series
Official image of the character/series (preferably not fanart image) 
A short description of the character/series, and why it is this character/series
In case the question asks to identify a character, consider linking to wiki or any anime database site (e.g. MAL or Anime-Planet)
In case the question asks to identify a series, consider linking to wiki or any anime database site (e.g. MAL or Anime-Planet)

2) Text-based identification

Name of the series
Official image of the series (preferably not fanart image) 
Why do you think it is the series based on the description? What are the matching points?
Short description of the series
Link to wiki or any anime site (e.g. MAL or Anime-Planet)

With these, there should be enough information for the OP to judge properly without having to go search around himself. And the answer itself should be of decent quality as well.
