A guy who can steal people's identity and power - what is this anime?
Possibly a late 90's/early 2000's anime. Memory is really fuzzy, but it had this female character who was a time traveller/or from space/another dimension.
There was a villain who was able to shape shift. There was one scene where the bad guy changed into (either by accident or deliberate) the main character and tried to rape the main character's love interest by locking himself and her in a closet at the gym. When the bad guy tried to touch her, electricity was discharged from his hand which caused him to flee.
Last scene I remember was the main character furiously riding his bike to face off against the bad guy. The bad guy was in a mansion(?) and he apparently was stealing the life force/identity of several victims by squeezing their face with his palm.
Watched the whole thing in Japanese. No subtitles. Wonderful anime.

It could be DNA² you are talking about

The girl in question seems to be Tomoko and as soon as the villain Ryuji touches her, he changes to her I guess. I don't remember if the last line of sucking others life force. But the description brought back the scene from DNA². Check out episode 10 of the series and tell if it is the one you want. Hope this helps :D

This is it! Thank you. uhg the dub is so... glad I watched it in Japanese.

Glad i could help :D

What does rule XXXV mean?

If a Death Note owner accidentally misspells a name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note.

What does that rule mean? I think I'm misunderstanding it, and I'd like to know, what the rule really means.

Wiki
The rules related to misspelling are:

Rule IX

The Death Note will be rendered useless if the victim's name is misspelled four times.

Rule XXXV

If a Death Note owner accidentally misspells a name four times, that person will be free from being killed by the Death Note. However, if they intentionally misspell the name four times, the Death Note owner will die.
The person whose name was misspelled four times on purpose will not be free of death by a Death Note.

So if we put all these rules together, that means that if you misspell a person's name four times on accident, that person is free from being killed from the Death Note forever. However, this does not mean you could make a person untouchable from the Death Note on purpose. The second rule from XXXV prevents this from happening. If someone purposely misspells someone else's name four times, he will kill himself and the victim will remain as is.
Manga
The manga seems to contradict this though. We have seen Light misspelling the name of a criminal more than four times, yet that person still ended up death. So if the rules are correct, it must be that one of the first four names Light wrote down was the real name of the criminal. Although I do find this a bit of a stretch, so I'm not really sure what is going on here. Ohba did make Light write down the criminal's name more than four times, but on the other hand, there was two occasions where he mentioned misspelling (rules IX and XXXV), so I'm not completely sure what to believe here.

It's possible Light wasn't sure how to spell his name correctly which leads to 2 possibilities. 1) with in the first 4 names he spelled it correctly but didn't realize it so he kept writing or 2) the Death Note is able to know when someone is intentionally misspelling someone's name since when writing a name you also need to picture the target in your mind. if you were to intentionally misspell someone's name you would also be thinking of the correct spelling of their name to you know what to avoid writing

@Memor-X Light was not sure. He was just guessing that person's name, as he had only overheard the criminal's name and didn't know the correct spelling. So is what you are saying with 2), that Light never misspelled anybody's name in that scene, but that he spelled the names he wanted to write, correctly, thus not falling under XXXV.1?

On a side note: I don't really know how one would misspell in Japanese though. An incorrect stroke?

remember that Misa says "his name is Light but it spelled as Moon", to me if i had just known Light's name i would assume it was spelled as Hikari (光) rather than Tsuki (月) and using Hikari would probably be classed as misspelling. as for XXXV.1 i actually misread the "free from being killed by the Death Note" part. however i'll leave my comment there as it suggests how the Death Note knows the difference between 4 accidental misspellings and 4 deliberate misspellings (which is the difference between the writers life and death and the victims immunity)

So if the name of a person is accidentally misspelled four times, they can't be killed by every death note, or just the one, you wrote their name in?

@Yagami well it says the death note, so I would think only that specific death note. Usually Death Gods have only one notebook, so if they make a mistake thats too bad for them, but I dont think it would affect other notebooks. ALthough for this one, someone might need to look at the original Japanese to be sure.

Does that mean you can deliberately misspell someone's name three times and have someone else accidentally misspell it a forth time?

This bugged the crap outta me! I checked the Japanese wiki page, and what the rule actually says is "4度名前を書き間違えると..." which is to say, "on the condition the name is written incorrectly [make a mistake in writing] four times..." The verbal construction is often used in terms of messing up or omitting strokes when writing kanji. Since Yagami Light is the numba one student, he of course makes no mistakes in writing any of the kanji. So you can try as many times as you like, as long as you remember to cross your t(s) and dot your i(s). Penmanship matters, folks. :)
Addendum: or maybe Ryuk was just messing with people, or trying to get DeathNote-owners to be extra careful when writing down names.

There are different ways to spell the same name.  I recently had to proof read a set of minutes where just my first name was misspelled 3 different ways.  I've seen my last name spelled 4 different ways (other people).  The misspelling is more of an issue if you've only heard it spoken.

Why was the Buddy Complex "second season" just a two part finale?
It seems like there were expectations for a full second season of Buddy Complex, e.g. from here in March 2014:

... the official Twitter account and website for the anime confirmed that the series will still continue.

But then, only three months later, a two-episode finale was announced instead, seemingly to the surprise (a reaction of confusion common in other forums as well, which I share) of many. The finale was released in September 2014. The finale announcement article also concludes with the same note that "the story will still continue" but this seems to be more copy-pasted from the first announcement than an actual announcement (it links back to the same old Twitter post).
Why did Buddy Complex not get a full second season? Was a second season scheduled and then reduced to two episodes because of poor sales or anything like that? Is another season still planned? I don't know Japanese and so searching for sources was difficult. I'm looking primarily for official news and announcements, interviews, etc.

I didn't keep up with the goings-on surrounding Buddy Complex, but studios have this nasty habit of announcing "a new production is in the works!", and people getting excited for a sequel, only for that so-called "new production" to turn out to be a one-off OVA, or a manga spinoff, or - worst of all - a pachinko machine. Same deal here - nothing in the language of either of the links in your blockquote implies a full-cour second season; this seems to just be an interpolation by hopeful fans of the series.

The official tweet you link to simply says: "Regarding Buddy Complex TOKYO MX, that everyone [kindly] watched episode 13, thank you very much! That is to say... To be continued！This work will continue! Please wait for the follow-up. Later on, [we'll] release BD privileged information! #buddycom" (「【バディ・コンプレックス】TOKYO MXにて第13話をご覧頂きました皆様、ありがとうございました！という事で・・・To be continued！本作品はまだ続きます！続報をお待ち下さいませ。この後BD特典情報を公開します！ #buddycom」)
There is no mention or implication within the text that indicates any particular set length of running time, nor even the media type of the promised follow-up. 「作品」 (sakuhin) is a non-specific word for a work of some sort, such as a production, a piece of art, a piece of work, handiwork, even someone's opus.
Thus, the 2014/10/27 post on the official website announcing the 完結編 (kanketsuhen, the last program of a series), which was released November 21st, 2014 and comprised of a two-parter 前編 (zenpen, first part) and 後編 (kouhen, second [after] part), does not in any way conflict with the original Twitter announcement. This means that, no, a second season of TV anime was not scheduled and then cancelled. 「完結編」 (kanketsuhen), by its very meaning, is the last program of a series; to title a release that way is to explicitly state that there are no plans for ever produce a following work such as a second TV anime season.
Therefore, it does not seem that proficient readers of Japanese would have misunderstood the tweet to promise a season's worth of upcoming anime. Someone who reported on the tweet in English for an English-language source seems to have jumped to a conclusion regarding in what sense the 「作品」 (sakuhin) would continue.

"Wish" in the credits of Code Geass and Steins;Gate?
I've recently started watching anime. I've watched Code Geass R1 and R2 and now I've just started Steins;Gate. I was surprised to see that in both series' ending credits the word "Wish" appears between the Japanese characters in a similar font, since it's the only one or one of the few words in English.
This is a screenshot from Code Geass R2's credits showing what I mean

Does it have any special meaning?

It's probably this company: http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wish_%28%E3%82%A2%E3%83%8B%E3%83%A1%E5%88%B6%E4%BD%9C%E4%BC%9A%E7%A4%BE%29

Thanks everybody for the great answers.About Steins;Gate, I think the section says: 動画協力
Wish
アニタス神户
太観アニメ

It should be the same company. 動画協力 is probably Finish Animation Cooperation? The other 2 are Anitus Kōbe and Taikan Anime.

I'm not sure about Steins;Gate, however, from the screenshot above, Wish refers to an animation company.
In the screenshot above, the company is credited for Finish Animation (仕上 shiage), and the people on the list are [伊藤 良樹]{Itou Yoshiki}, [加藤 里恵]{Katou Rie}, [熊田 真子]{Kumada Masako}, [加藤 明美]{Katou Akemi}, [斎藤 知津江]{Saitou Chizue}, [江草　大樹]{Egusa Daiki}, [角野 江美]{Kadono Emi}, [三上　幸恵]{Mikami Yukie}.
Wish is not a particularly big animation company. From the list on ANN, they are mostly in charge of Finish Animation, In-Between Animation, 2nd Key Animation, Digital Paint, etc.  So far, they have only produced a single anime title Elite Jack!! (OAV) in 2014.

on Anime News Network's Steins;Gate page, under you can see Wish having been listed under Finish Animation, In-Between Animation and 2nd Key Animation, on the Code Geass Page it is listed under In-Between Animation, Digital Paint and In-Between Check. as you have listed in your last paragraph

The section of the credits you're looking at there is 仕上 shiage "finishing", which is the task of finishing the coloring of a scene. Wish is a studio that does subcontracting for this kind of work.
Their name is in English because why not. See also: J.C.Staff, Production I.G., Sunrise, Studio Feel, ufotable, and so forth.
The other eight names in that section are the names of people (not studios); I suspect they're employees for Wish. (At least one of them, Katou Rie, is, it seems.)

What is this anime where a poor girl forced is to wash an ugly guest that's very muddy?
I remember a scene from an anime which I can't identify. (I don't remember whether it was a film or a series.) It was in the style of The Girl Who Leapt Through Time. I watched it about 3-10 years ago but it could be much older.
What I remember: A poor girl works in a public bath and is forced to wash a special guest who the other girls working there don't want to wash. The guest is coated in mud. The girl gets help (maybe animals?) / a special soap. She uses the soap on the customer and the mud vanishes. As a thank-you she gets a reward. I think I could see gold coins in this scene.
I already went through the list of anime I remember watching but it was none of them. As this scene regularly comes to my mind, it annoys me not to know where it's from.

This is presumably the scene from Spirited Away where Sen has to clean the river spirit. (here's a crappy camrip on Youtube)

wow, you are right
I wonder, why it wasn't on my list and I searched weeks for it.
Maybe because I searched in English and the title in English is completly different

@sweethome Nope, still the same title in English. Very good film by the way, Studio Ghibli's best :)

Or in Japanese: 千と千尋の神隠し Interestingly, the scene you refer to was based on the director's own experience of cleaning a river :)

The literal translation of the title I know would be "Chihiros travel into the land of magic", so I would have never expected this English title since I didn't know that meaning of "to spirit so./sth. away" (English is not my mother language). Yes, Ghibli produces nice adventure movies for the whole family. That's also the reason why they show them sometimes on our local kids TV chanel (other anime movies aren't even shown on German TV stations). That's most probably is also where I saw it and I think, I will give it a rewatch tomorrow :)

@sweethome The German title is actually closer to the original Japanese, which translates as "The spiriting-away of Chihiro and Sen". I don't know why the English title is so different; presumably some marketer decided that a shorter/punchier title would sell better with English-speaking audiences.

@senshin yes, that's what I ment and as I didn't know the term "to spirit away", I would never have guessed that this was the English title of this movie but I noticed with many movies/... that the English title was less descriptive than in other languages. When I now hear the English title I will know which one it is ;)

Who's the character in the middle of this WIXOSS cast picture?
Take a look at this picture, which I have not embedded in this post because it contains some spoilers for the end of season 2 of WIXOSS. It turns out that this is a drawing by Yakou Hiroshi (posted here on Twitter and here on pixiv), who was an animation director for WIXOSS. So not quite "official art", per se, but very close to it.
Who is the person in the middle of the picture (to the right of Hitoe, beneath Hanayo, and left of Yuzuki)?
I can identify everyone else in the picture, but I have no recollection of seeing this person. I think every important character in the series is in the picture, too (heck, even Ruuko's brother and the card shop lady are in there). The most important person I can think of who isn't in the picture is Hitoe's mom, and that clearly ain't her...

looks like she appears in the OP at 0:50 as the middle of the trio on the bottom right.

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Well, I'll be darned, that sure does look like the same person. Nice catch! Still dunno who that is, though - maybe one of Yuzuki's classmates that harassed her about her relationship with Kazuki?

Her name is Honoka. She's a part of Kazuki's circle of friends. In episode 6 of the first season she and a couple of other girls confront Yuzuki about her relationship with her brother. In episode 8 she leads Kazuki out from the card shop where they're playing together in order to confesses her feelings to him. When she's rejected, she tells him what people have been saying behind his back.

Anime about a guy who sees and then eats invisible bugs?
Can you identify this anime?
This anime might have been a short movie that was an extra on another dvd set.
It was about a guy who starts seeing these bug-like things attached to peoples backs. I think he has the urge to eat one which makes him realize that the 'bugs' are the regrets or bad memories of those people. When he eats them the people become happier. After trying to help people by eating their invisible 'bugs' he notices they might have been better off keeping those memories.
I know that's not much to go on, but any help would be great!

I remember an anime called xxxHOLiC (http://myanimelist.net/anime/861/xxxHOLiC). I think the protagonist could see "monsters" attached to people. If he took the monster away, the person would become happier. That said, they are not bugs (but some may have been shaped like bugs) and I think he probably did not eat them.

Hmm, that does have some similar elements, but after looking it up I can definitely say that was not it. The bug-like things were more physical looking (not ghost-spirity) and the story had a more serious tone. The people who were made happy then went on to do stupid things because they didn't have their regrets holding them back.

This sounds like an episode of Boogiepop Phantom.
Different episodes focused on different characters, each having a special ability... that was usually not as beneficial as it seemed. Their stories intertwined and showed the events from the different viewpoints of these characters. The guy who could eat bad memories was one of these episodes.

It is indeed an episode of Boogiepop Phantom. I've been rewatching the series and I seem to recall that this is episode 2. The character in question is Hisashi Jonouchi. The "bugs" he eats are memories associated with some form of guilt, remorse, or regret. When he eats them, the person no longer has the feeling of guilt, remorse, or regret, but also has forgotten the memory associated with the guilt, remorse, or regret.

Yes , that's the one! Thanks. ^-^
It was hard to figure out because he was a character of the week and not the whole show.

An anime with a female main character with a spiral on her forehead
I watched this anime way back when I was small, so I don't remember the details. I'm not sure, but I think it was an anime movie. It was aired on Animax India.
I think the name of the anime was a girl's name. Somewhere in the middle of the movie, some guy explains how the spiral is somewhat of a universal symbol, and how the earth is somewhat shaped like a spiral. The girl has a monster helping her, and there's this guy who helps her with her powers at first, but he turns out to be the villain in the end.
The story takes place in a modern city. The only identifiable thing that I remember is the spiral. I think she gets it on her forehead, along with her powers to control a huge robot like creature.
That's all I can remember. It would be great if anyone knows this anime.

Can you add more information, using this guideline as hint?

That sounds an awful lot like a comic I've read called Meridian, although Meridian, was only on paper, and it was also American

Also sounds reminiscent of TTGL, but the timeline is way off and it's not a movie.

Spiral as a Yin-Yang spiral or spiral like an archimedes spiral (kinda like the Uzumaki Clan symbol)

Your wording seems to suggest the spiral appears on the protagonist's forehead during the story, and it wasn't always there, and also that you're not sure if it was on her forehead. Could you confirm these are true?

Could it be Earth Maiden Arjuna (2001)? I have never seen it, but it seems to deal with Earth, so there could be a "universe" theme. There is a modern setting. There is a female protagonist, and the title is based on the her name, Ariyoshi Juna. She has a magatama on her forehead which I think could be mistaken for a spiral.

She also has a superhero form, if that is familiar.

Synopsis from AnimeNfo:

When Ariyoshi Juna has a bad accident, her spirit turns to light and rises up out of her body into the night sky where she gets a glimpse of Earth a few months in the future. What she sees is the Earth on the brink of total destruction, ruled by the merciless demon forces called the Raajas. Then Chris Hawken hands Juna a power stone and tells her to use it to save the Earth. The power stone gives her the ability to call up an aura suit, that activates and enhances a person's dormant special powers.

@Ero Sennin I think it is arjuna. Because the OP says it was aired in Animax india(this is the oly anime i can think of, that animax india telecasted for the short period it lasted in india) and the guy helps her out  turns out to be the anti hero at the end is Chris. The huge robot like creature could be raaja a type of worm sort of thing. Also the reason he would think it was a movie was because it was aired in India as a marathon for Diwali. All the episodes followed one another and the series had reruns of the marathon twice.

Im the op and i think this is it. I will have to watch it to confirm... and yes i think it could have been a marathon.. thank you so much ! Still not sure though but thanks.. this is the closest answer and thanks to all others who responded . :)

Where does the anime Hajime no Ippo: Rising leave off in the manga?
I recently finished all three seasons of Hajime no Ippo and I wanted to know where the last season left off in the manga. Also, I wanted to know if the anime follows the manga storyline or if there are things changed, so as to know if I have to start the manga from chapter 1 or not.

This seems relevant.

Rising ends with a four-episode arc focused on Kamogawa and Nekota in their younger years. Though the anime places this arc after Takamura's victory against David Eagle, it originally came after Takamura's first match against Bryan Hawk in the manga, so you'd want to pick up from the end of Takamura's fight against Eagle, which ends on Chapter/Fight 556 in the manga.
Most people seem to agree that while the anime made some cuts for the sake of time, important scenes have been retained, and that cut scenes generally would have added depth of background, humor, or added characterization that the series had no time for or that would have disturbed the flow of the plot. According to the first link, a fight between Hayami and Kobashi that originally took place in Chapter 290 of the manga was cut, but it was relatively short and likely had little bearing on the main plot.
I haven't actually watched it, so I can't say for certain, but from what I've read, the anime should be a pretty faithful adaptation of the manga. If you really wanted to, you could start from Chapter 1 anyway to pick up the minor details that were cut. You may end up enjoying the series more, or it might not make much of a difference.

An action and ecchi manga about a girl who has multiple personalities, whose body also changes whenever she changes her personality
I think the genre of this manga is action, ecchi, and supernatural.
The main girl has multiple personalities, and every time she changes her personality, her body changes, too.
I remember in the first chapter, as she was being chased by some people, she ended up transforming (or like I said, changed her personality) and killed them.
Well, that's all that I can remember. Please help me find this manga.

This sounds a lot like Gun x Clover. It is an action and ecchi manga, according to mangaupdates, and I think the female protagonist's power can be considered supernatural.
This is a page from the first chapter, showing Futaba - the 2nd personality of the female protagonist. The girl has multiple personalities (7 in total), and whenever she changes her personality, her body features (and even her outfit) also change to match the personality.

This is another page from the first chapter, showing Mitsuba - the 3rd personality of the girl. As you can see, her hair turns white as the 3rd personality takes control, and she becomes violent and capable of killing people. This is right after the scene where Futaba got caught by mercenary and was about to be defiled, when the 3rd personality Mitsuba surfaced to protect herself and killed off all the small fries.

An anime where a girl with pink hair, half naked (or completely naked), with supernatural power making limbs explode in the first episode
In the first episode, a girl with pink hair, half naked (or completely naked), with supernatural power makes limbs explode. In the first episode or the second one, she's embraced (?) by someone. If I remember correctly, she's mentally like a child, or really lacks communication abilities.
Any help would be much appreciated!
P.S. Sorry for the terrible description, it's just that I have vague memory about it.

Since this is getting attention as a hot network question, here is a link to the scene in question, if anyone is interested.  Definitely NSFW.

I think you are talking about Elfen Lied. It's really crazy, especially the first episode.

You had me at "Makes limbs explode"

Reading the title alone, I immediately knew this was Elfen Lied.  Such an iconic opening scene.

An animation featuring two chibis wearing tiger and dragon costumes duking it out
I came across a few clips of this a few days ago, but I didn't attempt a reverse search because it was in .webm form, which I haven't had much luck reverse searching through Google.
The animation seemed to feature two main characters: a girl with short hair wearing cat ears, and a glassed girl wearing a dragon suit who appeared to be the enemy. The latter might have also worn braids. The dragon suit led me to believe that the first girl was supposed to represent a tiger, what with various elements of Japanese mythology representing them as rivals.
The tiger-girl may have had some sort of transformation sequence before the fight.
The dragon-girl could control ice, which put their fight heavily in her favor, since she and the tiger-girl were fighting in an area that was frozen over and covered in snow and icicles.
Throughout the scene, the tiger-girl attempted (mostly in vain) to land blows on her opponent while dodging the icicles her opponent broke off from the surroundings and shot at her.
At one point, the tiger-girl managed to dodge a volley of icicles and take advantage of an opening in the dragon-girl's defense to leap into the air and try to claw at her, which was shown through silhouette. Time slowed down for a moment as she flew through the air, and then it returned to normal as another wave of icicles seemingly impaled her in midair from all directions, kind of like this:

The camera then changed angles out of silhouette to show that the tiger-girl hadn't been stabbed - she was only trapped and tangled in the interlocking icicles as she attempted to break free.
That's about all I could remember. The animation looked very smooth and polished. At one point, something shattered, sending beautifully animated ice shards flying. Both characters were super-deformed/chibi.
I used "animation" and not "anime" in describing it, because I am not sure if it was just some independent video or an actual series. I tried searching various combinations of relevant keywords on Google, like "3d", "icicles", "chibi", etc., but most of what I got was mediocre DeviantArt and drawing tutorials.

Is that Etotama?

It is Etotama, an anime currently airing this season (Spring 2015).
Synopsis from MAL:

The anime's story revolves around Nya-tan, the cat of Chinese astrology who wants to become a member of the Chinese zodiac. [...] She meets Takeru Tendo, a high school student who lives alone in Akihabara, and becomes a freeloader at his house. Little by little, she gets closer to her goal.

The anime's setting is built upon this folk story, which explains the origin of the 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac via a story about a race between the animals to become part of the zodiac. The Cat in variations of this folk story were always tricked by the Rat in one way or another and missed its chance to become part of the zodiac.
The scene you describe is from the second half of episode 1, where Nya-tan (Cat) and Doratan (Dragon) brawled out with each other to give Nya-tan the setting of "a tragic heroine who's shocked because the Dragon Eto-musume she thought was a friend ended up being a traitor".
A screenshot from around 16:33 of episode 1, showing both the Cat and the Dragon.

A screenshot from around 17:52 of episode 1, showing the Cat being restrained by multiple icicles.

What is this anime about a church orphan who had to testify against his fat friend?
I'm looking for an anime I watched on TV. I don't remember any character names, but just the story, which went something like this:

In the anime, a team of soldiers were running to a helicopter to get away from the infected robot-like creatures. They got into the lift, however, when they were about to leave, one of the guys got bitten and slowly turned into one of the infected creatures. He told the others to leave him behind, then he shot himself in the head before the transformation complete. The others continues on their escape, and more of the robot-like creatures came after them. Two more guys got taken out, and only a girl and a guy remained.
Later, an enemy showed up, who was someone they knew. He could control the
  virus, and it gave him superpowers by transforming his body's surface into a mechanical suit. He was getting orders from a woman, who probably was wearing a lab coat. The guy sacrificed himself and somehow saved the girl.
The girl ended up in a very big facility that wanted to destroy both the infected robot-like creatures and the humans who could control the virus' power. The girl knew how to drive, so she was assigned as a driver to a team. She was in the place where they kept the customized tanks and/or big vehicles. She did not know that the guy in her team who saved her was still alive and was held prisoner in the same facility somewhere. He was unconscious. When he woke up, he had lost his memories, and he also became like the infected robot-like humans. He had a headache, and he wandered in the facility trying to find an exit.
As the guards chased him, he found a room in which there was a bike protected by a barrier, and there was a control panel. When he touched the control panel, numbers started appearing and the barrier went down. As he touched the bike, it modified itself and changed from black to red. He rammed through the wall and ended up where the girl was. As he drove off, the guy's and the girl's eyes met and his head started to hurt again. The girl remembers but the guy could not, and as he was driving away quickly, a song started to play, with lyrics like "It hurts to remember you", or maybe "I can't remember you."
The girl was sent on a mission as a driver with a team to clean up a small area. The team wasn't able to do it, though. The infected superpower humans showed up and killed everyone. They were about to kill the girl when she was saved by another guy (say, "Guy #2") who was also infected, but he was not like the others. He also had superpowers and wanted to kill the evil humans.
Guy #2 saved the girl and also got hurt; he was bleeding from a shoulder. I don't remember if he killed the evil guys, or if he just evaded them. They were near a church, so the girl helped him walk and he said, "Let's go inside, we need to hide.", so they went into the church's basement. Guy #2 said that in the corner, there was a pile of broken pieces of wood. If they moved them, they would be able to find an old hose which they could get water from.
The girl asked him how he knew so much about the place. He answered that he grew up in the church, as he was an orphan. This started a flashback for Guy #2:

As an orphan, he lived there with many children, and there was an old priest who took care of the children. Guy #2 helped in the church's chores and cleaned the church. He wore a big thick black belt on his stomach before he went to the town with the priest to collect charity.
The first house they arrived at was that of a rich woman. When she came to the door, the priest asked if she would be kind enough to give charity
    for the orphans in the church. The woman told him that they had already asked last week, before her son came out and said that they should give "the Father" some money and they should have some tea. The woman remarked that her son had a heart of gold, and invited the priest inside.
The boy said that he wanted to play a game with Guy #2, which consisted of taking him to a back alley and removing his belt before beating him ( because he was an orphan) and telling him that he should die since no one loved him. A fat man pulling a wooden cart of bakery goods was passing by when he saw this. He yelled at the kids to stop it, and the kids ran away. The fat man came closer and Guy #2 started to cry. He said, "Please don't beat me, too. The kids have beaten me up so much that I can't bear any more." The fat man said he would not beat him and wiped his tears. The fat man then asked where he wanted to go and took him there. He gave Guy #2 some bread as a gift, and even though he was very happy, he didn't eat it, but took it to the orphanage for the kids instead.
A few days later, the fat man met him again and gave Guy #2 some more bread and he left happily. Then the fat man was pulling his cart and crossing a stone bridge over water. Suddenly, someone started to push his cart from the side to the edge of the bridge and he started pushing from the other side to stop himself and his cart from falling.
The ones who were pushing the cart were the blonde son and his friends, because he had saved Guy #2 from getting beat up and they were taking revenge on him. The fat man and his cart went over the edge. As Guy #2 came back to thank him, he saw what had happened. Seeing the badly injured fat man, Guy #2 said that he knew who had done it, and he named the blonde kid and his friends. They were very rich and trusted, so a crime like this could not be put on them without any evidence.
They asked the fat man what happened and who did it. He replies that he did not see who did it, as he was pushing from one side and they from the other. So, they told Guy #2 that he would have to swear on the Bible and say that the the blonde kid and his friends did it, and he agreed. Later, the blonde kid came to Guy #2 and asked him to tell everyone and swear on the Bible that it was him who pushed the fat man over the bridge, because the kid's family gave the church money the most, and if he didn't say it, they would stop giving money to the church and the orphan kids would all die of hunger.
This made Guy #2 very sad and depressed. He then took the blame on himself and said he did it because he wanted to steal the bread he had.  Some time later, he found out that his older sister, who was an doctor or something, was attacked by the town's people while returning home. They beat her up so bad that she was covered in blood, and left her in the middle of the road.

That's all he said about his backstory, and they both slept in the church's basement. After waking up, there was a loud noise outside, so they went out to take a look, and there was a large robot coming towards them. The hatch opened and it was the person in charge of the facility, along with a scientist who was Guy #2's sister, who was somehow still alive.

Does anyone know what this anime is?

People are more likely to read your question if you format it better. For example, you might want to consider using paragraphs.

Do you remember if the robots were animated with fairly high quality CGI? Also, around what time did you watch it?

maby the year was around 2011-14 i think bu i cant remember the date  and this is my first time asking a question on line thank you for helping me

Based on some of the details provided I would guess this is Blassreiter. (Check here for the episode-by-episode synopses: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Blassreiter_episodes)

It basically has "robot zombies", Demoniacs
The facility you describe which wants to fight the robot zombies and XAT in Blassreiter seem similar.
The main character in Blassreiter is one of the few Blassreiter-empowered humans to fight against the Demoniacs rather than with them.
There is a character who was orphaned and is considered an "Outsider" by society and there are a few episodes centered on a church outside of town.
Humans who have Blassreiter powers have a "Blassreiter form" which is essentially a mecha shape.

Synopsis:

The story is set in a fictional Germany and centers around the outbreak of biomechanical creatures called "Demoniacs", who rise from corpses and attack people savagely. The Demoniacs have the ability to merge with most technology including cars and motorcycles, not only gaining control of them but also enhancing their performance greatly. Against them is a group of people known as XAT, Xenogenesis Assault Team, who police these Demoniacs in an attempt to keep the peace and discover the reasons for the "Demoniac" change. All the while, a number of human-turned-Demoniacs appear. Some use their powers for good, others for evil. One will rise above all other Demoniacs to become known as the "Blassreiter"

I don't personally remember that flashback scene which you described at length, but I watched this in 2008 as it aired so my memory has definitely faded.

+1: "(Joseph) spent his childhood in a tightly knit community, helping the priest look after the other orphans' needs, tend to their home and helping people in need." I think the flashback is in episode 13.

@キルア: Yep. The flashback of Guy #2 (Joseph) is indeed in episode 13, which is the same as the description for the most parts. The rest of the description may come from episode 12 or episode 14.

thanks i'll download it now and tell you whather this is the one

thanks all and especially mfoy_
It's Blassreiter  i'm very greatfull than you

Should one read/watch Triangle Heart before diving into the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series?
The question is simple - should one read the manga, watch the OVAs, play the games (personally, I don't have access to these) of Triangle Heart before diving into the Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha series?

In my opinion, there's nothing from Triangle Heart that would apply to Nanoha, except for the backgrounds of some characters.
Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha is based on the spin-off of Triangle Heart 3 called Triangle Heart 3 ~Lyrical Omochabako~ (Triangle Heart 3 ~Lyrical Toy Box~).
Several things are carried over, such as:

Kyouya and Miyuki Takamachi's back-stories as bodyguards for Fiasse Crystela.
Shinobu Tsukimura returns, and in the A's manga, it is hinted that her family are vampires through a shout out to Triangle Heart when Suzuka (who didn't appear in Triangle Heart) shows her inhuman strength in the dodgeball match with Fate.

However, there are changes in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha which deviates from Triangle Heart's continuity, most notably:

Nanoha's father Shirō is still alive. However, he was in the ICU for some time, which led to Nanoha's insecurity at the beginning of the series
Shinobu and Kyouya are dating, making Shinobu the canon romance. (In comparison, I believe Fiasse was considered canon in Triangle Heart).
Noel K. Ehrlichkeit, Shinobu's maid is mechanical in Triangle Heart, but in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, she appears to be human.
Nanoha herself doesn't have magic in the main Triangle Heart series, but she is given magic in Lyrical Toy Box (which explains the title Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha). (In my opinion, Lyrical Toy Box is a spin-off from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha rather than the general Triangle Heart series).

Other characters from Triangle Hearts are used as basis for original characters in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha:

In Triangle Heart, Chrono Harlaown is an antagonist. However, the prototype for his Enforcer uniform is a throw back to his "evil" black outfit with spikes from the game.
Alisa Lowell is used as a basis for Arisa Bunnings
The shape-shifting fox-girl Kuon becomes the "ferret" boy Yuuno Scrya
Raising Heart's Crystal is changed from a heart to a sphere. It is also shorter in Triangle Heart and more reminiscent of Sakura Kinomoto's Sealing Wand's Star Form

In Triangle Heart, Lindy Harlaown is not a member of the Time Space Administration Bureau, but instead a fairy from the Dream World. She, however, retains much of her design, including her fairy wings, which appear in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha when she flies.

The main point is that a lot of the minor characters' back-stories are tweaked for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, while most of the main characters except for Nanoha are all original and do not relate back to Triangle Heart (Lindy and Chrono retain their appearances, but they are still different).
As noted above, the only real change that affects a main character is that Nanoha's father isn't dead, since his time in the ICU created the Nanoha we see at the start of the series (before meeting Yuuno and using magic).

as a funny note, Shoujo Ai/Yuri fans of the series who love Nanoha x Feito pairing despise Yuuno but probably wouldn't mind so much had Kuon be used instead of Yuuno

When or in what part did Milly Ashford (the school president) admit that she has feelings for Lelouch?
I have read from an anime magazine that Milly Ashford, the school president, was described as the daughter of the owner of the school which is obvious because the name is Ashford Academy. However, she was also described as the girl who always pairs up Lelouch and Shirley as couple, despite she herself having feelings for Lelouch. Is there any proof of that? I watched the R1 and R2 anime 5 years ago and I cannot remember a part that could prove it. Or am I missing something?

It has never been show if she has or ever had feelings for Lelouch. However she is very caring as demonstrated in Episode 9 - Refrain when talking to Kallen about her parents.
The Wikia does says she cares deeply for him

Milly cares deeply about Lelouch, but realizes the need to restore her family's status by marrying a noble. She is aware of Lelouch's identity as a former prince of Britannia, since her family were close supporters of his mother, Empress Marianne. This relationship however, would lead to the family's nobility status being stripped.

"this relationship" refers to supporting Marianne who was a commoner at birth and already looked down upon by members of the royal family (though it was more jealousy that she became a wife despite being a commoner).
I remember reading somewhere (though I don't remember where so don't hold me to it) that Milly spent time with Lelouch and Nunnally as children before Marianne's death which is why despite knowing they are royalty, she can be very forward with them, making her probably the closest person alive to them to date.

The only part in the anime that I remember was her "Cupid Day" where she said that when a girl and guy exchange hats, they will officially start becoming girlfriend and boyfriend. And throughout the day, she had everyone chase Lelouch's hat to give it to her. At first, I thought it was for fun, teasing Lelouch like usual but...
When Shirley and Lelouch appear to have exchanged hats, Milly removes her hat and says, "I'm disappointed this all ended so predictably. I guess you win." The maid (I forgot her name) says behind her, "Although I think you were a little serious about it." This shocks Milly and looks back, but the maid is gone. She then smiles and says, "Yeah, maybe I was. Just a little."
I questioned it so I went to search if it meant that she liked him for real, and I stumbled upon people saying yes. And then I saw your question, and here's my take on it. XD (I'm not yet finished with this anime though)

I love your answer. I actually suspect that too. But some sites stated that it is an affection only because Milly knows him so well (I mean the whole prince thingy).

Yes, Milly was in love with Lelouch. It was hinted actually especially in picture dramas. Although in the anime it was only shown during the Cupid Day. Remember, prior to that event she and the psychotic Nina had an argument of some sort about Milly herself not being true to herself or something. That was why during the start of the Cupid day episode she was in the shower(she was sooo hawt in that scene being nude and all, LOL) and looks like absorbing the psycho Nina's rant about her. Then after that she announced her graduation event. And when the event was about to start, when she was about to command the students by bringing Lelouch to her, she actually closed her eyes for a moment and then opened it with determination. And also her comments after the event and Sayoko's statemnt. LOL. I soo love ninja Sayoko. So yeah, the playful Milly was actually in love with our beloved demon emperor.
Too bad it wasn't clearly established in the anime. I love her and I kinda ship her with Lelouch. If it weren't for the official release of the anime mags, CLAMP and the side materials you wouldn't know about it since it was not established clearly in the anime not to mention she wasn't given enough screen time. You should be really keen to details to notice it in the first place. And also by re-watching it.
P.S. The sound episode of code geass entitled "Meeting Milly" was hilarious, heartwarming and kinda nostalgic. It was about the first meeting of Lelouch, Milly and of course Nunnally. If you would listen to it after watching the entire series it was like Milly was reminiscing it after Lelouch's death. Really sad. Milly was kinda tragic you know. She was the character where she secretly love the main guy but never got the chance to express it. Not to mention that she constantly paired him up with a friend, Shirley. You should read the fanfic "Until". Its a Oneshot and it showed Milly's thoughts and feelings about Lelouch. The crossdressing picture drama was hilarious too. Too funny and it was refreshing to see despite the darkness of the plotline of Code Geass.

Please support you answer with links. We look for factual answers, any opinions should be put in the comments. Thank you.

In which episode does this picture from the opening of K-ON! appear?
In the first opening of K-ON!, the following appears at 35 seconds.

Which episode is that picture with Ritsu in the green clothing from? And what is the time mark in the episode?

Generally speaking, the pictures appearing in the background of those scenes in the opening are not necessarily from the episodes.

@Pteromys If it's in fact not from an episode, then that would be an acceptable answer too.

I currently don't have access to the whole episodes, but here's my guess: those pictures are usually from the original comic books, and Ritsu's picture in question appears in an episodes in the book which didn't appeared in the anime series, and hence the picture itself didn't appeared in anime series.

Many of the scenes from the K-On openings don't ever happen in the anime or manga. They're things that we can imagine might have happened off camera sometime. I'm fairly certain this scene of Ritsu is one of those.
For example, this image of Mio wearing Nodoka's glasses never happens:

And Azusa never licks the whisk like this:

Clannad does the same thing—the opening contains scenes that look like they're repeated from somewhere in the series, but actually aren't, like this one:

And this one:

It's obviously difficult to present hard proof for this, especially hard proof that that specific scene with Ritsu never appears, but I'm 99% certain that those two scenes I mentioned with Mio and Azusa never appeared anywhere. I'm about 85% certain the scene with Ritsu never happened in the anime, and about 75% certain it was never in the manga. However, there might have been a similar or related scene; Azusa did make a cake, so we can imagine she might have licked the whisk while doing that, and this might be a similar case.

What is this manga about a boy with special eyes recruited by 3 girls to hunt murderers?
Waking up in the hospital after an accident, the boy finds that his eyes become able to see certain people's shadows. Later, it is revealed that those people are murderers, and he gets scouted and recruited by a team of 3 girls to hunt those murderers.
Some examples of murderers:

A woman with a giant eyeball shadow replacing her face. She takes eyeballs off her victims.
A man with a scythe-shaped shadow replacing his head. He was shown eating ramen next to his victims' corpses.

The manga doesn't have an anime, I believe, since it is quite recent. I am quite certain that it was released after 2013. Not a lot of chapters are out. The premise does sound quite a lot like Shinrei Tantei Yakumo or Tsukihime.

It does sound like Psychic Detective Yakumo. but not sure because only some description match according to synopsis.

@KajTorvaldGrey that was just a guess, i have not watched the anime or read manga

It's definitely Deathtopia.
Here is the picture of the main character on the color page of chapter 1.

This is a scene near the end of chapter 1 of the guy who eventually murder everyone in his family and eats ramen while sitting on the couch, as revealed in chapter 2 and 3. At this point in time, the main character had yet to see the true shape of the shadow, and he only managed to made out the scythe-shaped shadow in chapter 2.

The three girls who scouted him at the end of chapter 1:

Do the lyrics of Madoka Magica's two movie OPs foreshadow Rebellion's ending?
To understand the question I'm asking, you will probably do need to watch the three Madoka Magica movies. I'll still try to avoid spoilers.
In order to fully understand the ending of the movie or rather, what happens next, I went back to look at possible clues that foreshadowed Rebellion's ending. The lyrics of Luminous by Claris, the OP for the first two movies, strikes me in particular:

My faith in saving you becoming clear
  I really hope in the beginning
  To bring your smile back
  Make it a true miracle
The hope summoned pursued us and surpassed the world
  The feeling to never give up connected our hearts before we knew it
  Instead of crying, let's smile and head for tomorrow
  Even if the oath we decided hurts and falls
  To protect your heart
  I'll be by your side

Now one thing to note is that, if I remember correctly, the song was released before the movie, although not too far apart. So it might be coincidental. However, these parts of the lyrics is interesting to me that this is exactly what Homura is doing by

 taking Madoka's power to recreate the universe in order to protect her ("even if the oath we decided hurts and falls") and release her from her own perceived sufferings ("to bring your smile back").

And that she would do any lengths to protect Madoka because she still thinks she can save her("my faith in saving you..."). The second OP in the third movie has these lyrics:

You touched my heart and it shined, turning so colorful
  So I'll Take Flight, Riding on Hope
  Your Wishes Are Gathered Beneath the Sky That stretches Infinitely
  and if I CAN go protect Them
  I'll Get over the Memories of That day
  WHEN I made a Promise with you and go from the Past Now
  to the tomorrow that no one knows about

To me, this just described exactly what happened in the ending. In that

 Everyone's memory is wiped out ("no one knows about"), Madoka's wishes to get rid of witches is also presumably granted as well, Homura turned back time for the n^100 times ("g o from the past now"), and Homura now becomes the "protector" instead of Madoka absorbing all the witches suffering ("if I can go protect them").

So does the two songs foreshadowed the ending? To me, I think that the song really did helped me to empathize with Homura despite what she did. There's more to the lyrics in my opinion, but I will keep it focused on just the ending.

There's not much point in avoiding spoilers in a question (other than the title) IMO. The title itself makes it clear that your question is about Rebellion's ending. Anyone who clicks it despite that is asking to be spoiled.

They could not be planned to foreshadow Rebelion for a very simple reason: Urobuchi (author of the story) did not plan for Rebelion when writing the series. There are actually quite a few interviews with him that bring some light to his choices about the script, and he never mentioned lyrics.
Short answer then: very unlikely.
Edit: As comments states. This does not apply to the movies' openings.

but the question refers to the OPs of the movies "The lyrics of Luminous by Claris, the OP for the first two movies, strikes me in particular" and when i heard about the movie remakes it was accompanied by the announcement that there would be a third movie following them. and by "original series" i think they refer to the anime, not the movies (to which the question never does mention Connect by ClariS which is the OP for the anime)

Memor-X is right - while Rebellion wasn't planned when the original TV series came out in early 2011, Rebellion certainly was planned for at the same time that movies 1 and 2 were planned, meaning that it's very likely that the lyrics to Luminous were written with at least some notion of the plot of Rebellion.

Could Okabe have saved Mayuri in the alpha world line?
After Okabe goes back to the 'beta world line' (Steins Gate) he learns that

 He can save Kurisu. In order to do that he needs to make it look like she is laying in a pool of blood being unconscious. At the time same her death would normally take place.

Could Okabe have done the same with Mayuri in the alpha world line? I noticed her watch stops and then breaks every time she is about to die. Could Okabe have saved Mayuri in the alpha line by breaking her watch?

Disclaimer
Needless to say, this answer contains spoilers. Therefore, I have chosen not to spoiler it.

No, Okabe could not have saved Mayuri, as he found out by himself the hard way.
Mayuri was meant to die in the alpha world line; her death is what is called a "convergence point". No matter how Okabe manipulates the alpha world line, creating a new timeline in the process, every timeline belonging to the alpha world line would eventually "converge" to make that one event happen without fail: Mayuri's death.
And Okabe did try to save Mayuri countless times. If breaking her watch were enough to save her, then the convergence point would have been the event where her watch breaks. Thus, in at least one timeline, Mayuri's watch would've broken without Mayuri dying.
Edit (after playing the VN):
Pockety (the watch) actually never broke in the VN, or if it did, it was considered so minor it was never mentioned even once.
It is likely that the scene where it breaks was added for the anime to stylize Mayuri's death, in order to imply her death without actually depicting it. Remember that Mayuri died in several — at times gruesome — ways, such as getting shot in the head, or getting crushed by a subway train. The anime team likely didn't want to make the show too gory, as it would not have fit with the rest of the series very well. The theory isn't too far-fetched, since watches symbolize time, and time symbolizes life. Since Mayuri carries Pockety (a memento of her late grandmother's) at all times, it may as well signify her own life; its breaking meaning her death.
Additionally, despite carrying its own name (Pockety), the watch was never important in the VN in the first place. I figure the anime team wanted to give it meaning in some form, which I'll admit is a nice touch on their part.
In any case, the watch breaking was never meant to be important at all.

As for Makise Kurisu's case. Okabe could save her by making her lie in a pool of blood, because that was the only thing he ever established. When he first saw her, he never actually bothered to check if she was dead in the first place, so convergence might not have been her death, but her lying in a pool of blood instead.
This was of course a gamble. There was no guarantee it would've worked, since they didn't know which event was the actual convergence point: Makise's death, or her lying in a pool of blood (or both). The fact that she survived was merely a lucky shot that could've gone wrong.
In retrospect, Christina could've died of a heart attack after getting tased by Okabe. Mayuri died of heart attacks quite often too, when nothing else was killing her. Although Mayuri's death was never specified in those instances where she simply "collapsed, breathing heavily, clutching her chest", and turned out to be dead, I'll just assume it was a heart attack.
Okabe simply got damn lucky with his assistant.

It's not possible to save Mayuri in the alpha world line. Actually, if the police came and stopped the rounders - Mayuri would simply have a heart attack. In the VN, if there is no actual way to die - the world just killed Mayuri by giving her a heart attack. It's a fixed point in the Alpha world line, Okabe had to go back to the Beta line to save Mayuri, but that would cause Kurisu's death, and there the manipulations start.

Kurisu ends up in a pile of blood on the same place around the same time in almost the same way. But Mayuri's deaths are all different, one time she gets in front of a train and another time she gets shot. Since its not provable I would say maybe but most likely not.

Though in the anime it was not possible because it was a fixed point on the world line. Yet I do think it is possible to save Mayuri and Kursiu without leaving the alpha line. I will explain why but first you need to know about the world lines. The Alpha line is the line that Okabe and his friends first started on but every time they sent a Dmail (I watched the dub i'm sorry.) they were sent to a branch of that line. As they sent more and more Dmails they grew feather away from the Alpha timeline. Supposedly to save Mayuri they needed to move to the beta line because her death was a fixed point on the Alpha world line. I do not believe that this is necessarily true. Okay, listen carefully, this is where you might lose me.
In one of the episodes it shows the world line with an event. If the world line has the event that we will call point A then what happens of you use the Dmail to not necessarily push you off of the Alpha line but pushed you far enough away from the Alpha that the fixed point changes. For example what if Okabe had sent a text to someone so that they called the police to show up just moments before Moeka breaks into his apartment. The police would deal with the ringers because they are a threat to society and Mayuri could not get shot. I'm not 100% sure that Mayuri would not be killed by some other event within Okabe's house but this would be there best bet.
If anyone sees anything wrong with my theory please let me know so that we can talk about it. Nothing is perfect but I would like to hear others thoughts on this idea because personally I believe that the whole 1% thing kind of bugs me. I always wondered how saving Kurisu didn't push them off the Alpha line in the first place.
One more quick thing I want to say. This whole show is a loop. Every thing that happens in the end would have just led to him falling into the same path. For example. If Kurisu actually died before he sent his first Dmail then she would have been dead in the Alpha timeline. This proves that in the first episode that Kurisu was never actually dead but just faked by the future Okabe. Another example is when Kurisu goes back in time to save Okabe from falling onto the R world line. When Kurisu and Okabe kiss in the anime he says that it was not his first kiss. He said that happened when he was younger. I believe that this implies that when Kurisu goes back in time to save him from falling on to the R timeline that he had encountered that before he even met her and the original story began.

To answer your question we need to compare both situations.
In Mayuri's case, Okabe time travelled undefined times just to save her, failing at it. Even if he saved her from the Rounders ir any type of situation, as is shown in the steins gate games the World itself kills Mayuri by causing her a heart attack. So in the Alpha convergence line it is not possible to dave mayuri. Right?
Well know lets see Kurisu's case, in this case we don't have as much information as in mayuri, because it only cost Okabe 2 time travels to save her. So to answer this question, we have to imagine what happen in the "original" Beta World timeline. As we saw in episode 23 Okabe Rintarou kills Makise Kurisu in the Beta World timeline. Then how Okabe could save Makise Kurisu?
Now pay attention, Imagine time travels, d-mails etc etc. Don't exist, will that cause a change in Makise Kurisus death, well they are 2  main possibilities,, and depending on it we can determine if Mayuri can be saved or not.
On the  first possibility, its the same time travel who causes Makise Kurisus death, so if Okabe Rintarou (the one that kills her) doesn't appear in that situation. It is a possibility that Nakabashi could not have killed Makise Kurisu, but just to hit her. So, in that case Makise Kurisu should survive, Leading to the sg timeline. So if this situation happens, then its not possible to save Mayuri in the Alpha timeline, because what causes Kurisus death is something that shouldn't be in that timeline, (The Okabe Rintarou that travelled to the Alpha attraction camp). What I mean by this, is that Makise Kurisu's death is optional,and can be changed, Either by the Okabe that traveled between timelines never appeared. Or that if he appears, to manage to cause that Episode 1 Okabe sees that image of Makise Kurisus laying on the floor in a blood puddle, as we saw it in the anime. While in Mayuri's case what it kills her is the proper World, as I said Okabe travelled back infinite times, and even if he saved her, she will die by something he can't control. is not other factor. Its the World, The alpha timeline cannot exist without Mayuri's death, is like "a canon event".
In the second possibility.
The original beta worldline Makise Kurisu dies by Nakabachi. Meaning that even though Okabe travels time, the World will be in charge of killing her. Except if we fullfill certain conditions. First of all, the main reason why Beta timeline changes to the Alpha and viceversa, is Okabe Rintarou, so to save Makise Kurisu we have to make sure he sees her apparently dead, causing that first d-mail to change the worldlines ,and to manage to save her. As we saw in the anime.
Now if this secons situation is true we can Apply it the same for Mayuri in the Alpha World line. (Preferibly in the one of the first D-Mail) Mayuri can be saved but only with certain conditions, so the plan will be very similar as the one to prevent Kurisu's death. So Okabe will need to travel time with Suzuha, and manage to save Mayuri, but at the same time make past Okabe to believe that she's dead. After this two steps, Past Okabe will need to send a D-mail to go back to the Beta worldline.  And boom, teorically Mayuri would be save. The only problem is that this will be much more difficult than saving Kurisu as the time machine from the alpha timeline cannot travel to the future. So for the operation to succeed, they will need to hide from their past selfs, and wait for Past okabe to send that d-mail. In order to the other Okabe to replace him. Not to mention the will also need to make sure Okabe mantains his belief that Mayuri is dead, úntil he sends the d-mail.
So my answer to the question depends,and we will probably never know what is the real answer, but for me I think there is at least one specificly Alpha timeline in which Mayuri lives.

The death of Mayuri causes the time machine invention by Okabe, and that results to the arrival of Suzuha, which will influence the future very much.
You can't cancel the reason without changing the result that happened. once you save Mayuri, the worldline must have changed greatly.
If you really want to save her in the same worldline, you must find another strong reason to make sure the invention complete at that time. it might be harder than just go back to the original worldline.

I don't think it was possible. All the world lines which contained Mayuri's death, the alpha line were all closely tied together like a thread. Hence, they all converged to the same event, that is, Mayuri's death and SERN's dystopia. Even if Okabe were to stop watch from breaking, there would be some other event which will break it.
Otherwise, if he breaks it himself, a common event in all attractor field,I think Mayuri is sure to die, this means the only way to escape is to escape from world lines 0.00% to 0.99%.
Also, in beta world line, there is only one. That is Steins;Gate world line in which Kurisu doesn't die and WW III doesn't occur.

An anime where a male character brings back some seeds and implants it on the wrist of his daughter
I have watched an anime recently, but I have forgotten its title.
It is a sci-fi anime that resembles Black Bullet and Attack on Titan, in the sense that humankind is confined within some boundary due to threats outside that boundary.
A part of the story I remember is about this male character bringing back some seeds from outside the boundary. He would water one of the seeds daily in a pot he kept in his office (if I recall correctly), while the other seed was implanted into the wrist of a female character (his daughter, if I am not wrong).
Does anyone have any idea which anime this is?

Could it be Darker Than Black?

In Tokyo, an impenetrable field known as "Hell's Gate" appeared ten years ago. At the same time, psychics who wield paranormal powers at the cost of their conscience also emerged. Hei is one of the most powerful of these psychic agents, and along with his blind associate, Yin, works for one of the many rival agencies vying to unlock the mysteries of Hell's Gate.

A man takes a seed from Hells Gate and plants it in his daughters wrist as well as a pot in his office. This is in episode three.

An anime about MMO with a glasses wearing protagonist
A friend of mine recently recommended me an anime. He told me the name, but I forgot to note it down, and now I don't remember it.
It's about people who are trapped in a fictional MMO and can't get back to the real world. When he told me that, I asked if he was talking about Sword Arts Online, but he told me that wasn't it. Unlike SAO, people who die in that MMO revive some time later, so death is not permanent.
He said I'd be particularly interested in the protagonist, since he's smart, analytical, quite the strategist, and wears glasses.
He also told me the anime was more about society than about the actual game.
Finally, I remember him telling me that the anime is still ongoing, but that was a few weeks ago, so it might have ended recently, or not.
What's the name of the anime he told me about?

I do believe you're talking about Log Horizon. Some relevant plot points that matches your description:

The setting is an MMO world called Elder Tales. All the players currently logged on cannot log out.
The main character wears glasses, is smart, and is considered one of
the best strategists in the game's community.
There is no perma-death, but there is a penalty for it, which will be
revealed later in the series.
The first season has heavy emphasis on the politics and economy of
the game world. It shows how the players and the NPC interacts, how the NPC interacts with other NPCs, etc.

For more info, you can check out its Wikipedia article or look through its own Wikia site.

Perfect, that's exactly the name he told me; now I remember :)

Haha, just the title was enough to recognize this one for anybody who saw it xD

A shoujo anime about a girl who exorcise demons with the help of 3 guys
About 2 years ago, I watched a shoujo anime about a girl who went to an all-girl school. I think her name sounded something like angle.
She had the power to exorcise demons and did so with the help of a few handsome men. One of them had red hair, another had green hair, and the other one had some connection with the school. As for the characters, I don't remember a lot. The male with red hair was energetic and did not warm up to the main character at first. The second male, as I recall, had green hair and met the protagonist under a table (?). He was very "happy-go-lucky", and was warm and friendly to the protagonist.

I'm not sure if this matches entirely your description but since you mentioned "handsome men", "red hair", "all-girl school", "exorcising"... I thought of one thing:
Neo-Angelique Abyss
-Protagonist is a girl coming from an all-girl school
-There's a guy with red hair named Rayne
-Another guy with green hair named Nyx (dark green)
-Then another guy with green hair named JD (light green)
-Then some elf guy (I think) with silver hair
You could try here to see if it really is the anime you're looking for.
EDIT: Now that I think about it, this may not be actually the anime you're looking for.  Because, whoops, I mentioned four guys. I don't remember much the anime, anyway.

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!! I REALLY WANTED TO WATCH THIS!!!! YOUR THE BEST!!!

Goodie. Glad to be of help. Believe me, I like that anime as well. Too many handsome guys.

What is this anime where people manifest special powers from element-based auras?
I remember watching an anime with my friend about 9 years ago, while I wasn't taking any shows seriously. The show also has a Manga, which my friend also had. Here are some general details about the world that I can remember:

There are people in the world with special powers manifested in an Aura.
Every person has a unique Aura with its own special capabilities.
Every person with an Aura can do certain basic things:

They can cross their arms in front of them and create a shield made of Aura. This technique is called Guarding, I believe.
They can do short-distance teleportation. If I remember correctly, this is a semi-advanced technique.
They can hold up their right-hand index finger and middle finger (like a peace sign or a V or what-have-you), and put this in front of their eyes to see through the space between their fingers. This allows them to see other peoples' Auras, if they have any. I do remember that in the Anime, there were many colors of Aura, but I am not certain if their colors represented anything meaningful.

The people who had an Aura were taken (not necessarily by force) to a special school to foster their growth and development.
There is tension between people with Auras and gangs and other organizations of humans without Auras.
Auras slightly reflected a person's nature.

Those are some of the details about the world in general, and of how much of their magic system that I can remember. I do not remember any character names either, but I can give details about them as much as I can remember:

The main character was a male, and in the beginning of the show he learns that he has an Aura, which he has not identified.
He had a childhood friend, a girl, and they liked each other. During their childhood, she was revealed to have an Aura, so she was brought to the school I mentioned earlier, and was taken from his life. Her Aura was Water, and she uses her Water Aura to heal people by making little water clones of herself that wash away peoples' injuries. For a good portion of the show, she is the MC's main love interest.
Not long in the show, the main character meets another girl through an interesting event: A mother holding her baby while standing on a balcony accidentally drops her baby (somehow) while the MC just walked by. He turns around in response to her scream for help and reaches his hand out to the falling baby, which magically floats in the air for about a second, just enough time for this girl character to teleport into the air and catch the baby. This girl had red hair and her Aura was called "Burning Rose" and later on in the show becomes the MC's love interest.
The main character is not unaware of this world at all, as he has an older brother who has the Aura of Metal. His older brother is also famous in the world for some of his powers. One of those that I remember is that he can cocoon himself in metal (and possibly regenerate).

Those are some of the main protagonists of the show. Aside from them, there are some students at the school I can recall, as well as some other characters:

There was a girl who wore glasses, and while I am not too certain about this, I believe her Aura was Wind. Her special power utilized a special crystal ball, and she used Divination with that ball to test the compatibility of two Auras. If I recall correctly, generally a really good rating from her divination is about 80% compatibility. One thing I distinctly remember is that she performed this Divination on the MC and the Burning Rose girl, and their Auras turned out to be 100% Compatible.
There was another student, a male who wore glasses, and his Aura was Strings. I remember him because the class was having practice matches, and this particular student believed he was superior to the Burning Rose girl, so he challenged her to a duel. His strategy was to bind her with strings and attack her after she was subdued. Naturally, she burned away the bindings and defeated him.
I do remember one of the antagonists of the show: a male scientist who was on an R&D team developing technology dealing with Auras. Primarily, they could give an Aura to someone who was not born with one, and could also change peoples' Auras. Additionally, there was a machine they developed that specifically nullified any Auras that dealt with non-organics; this seems to have been meant to defeat the Burning Rose girl, who was one of their test subjects, and the MC's older brother, whose Aura is Metal. The Scientist gave himself an Aura of Plants, so that he could take advantage of the Machine's configuration.
I believe the main antagonist of the show was another teenage male, whose relation to the MC I cannot recall. Either way, he was another test subject of the aforementioned Scientists, who gave him an interesting Aura of Gravity, with side-effects. One such effect that develops later in the show is an automatic gravity that pulled in others' life energy. This particular power killed someone very close to him while he was unaware of it. He realizes what he is doing when he brings flowers to her funeral, and when a Scientist explains it to him the Scientist points out that the flowers he brought are now dead. He reacts by grabbing the Scientist by the shoulder, where he absorbs some of the Scientist's life energy and understands what he has done.

I believe that is everything I can remember about it. Sorry about the long post!

What do you mean by wasn't "taking any shows seriously"?

@Pacerier I never payed any real attention to the plot of a show if it had one, and I only watched episodes that happened to be on TV, so I only got a sporadic list of episodes with no context. Imagine watching only a few random episodes of One Piece, and in a random order, without any prior knowledge from the show. It'd be really difficult to understand what's going on at any given time. Because of that, I never really cared about the shows I barely understood. Now that I understand what was actually going on, and now that I can go and find every episode, I can take the shows seriously.

Why did you even watch then last time?

You're probably looking for Psychic Academy

Psychic Academy follows the life of Ai Shiomi, a boy with psychic powers, also known as "aura power" in modern day Japan. This ability has emerged in the world, but not all people have it. Aura power itself allows certain elements such as fire, water, ice, wind, lightning, earth, and light to be used by those who have the ability. Which type of power they can use depends on their aura and what they are taught.

The moment I laid my eyes on those images, things started flooding back into me. Namely the beach, and its importance. Character names, and exact powers and things. Also, the (girl?) who has a split personality. She's quite a scary one. Many thanks for helping me find this again!

What is this anime which started with a boy and his sister riding on a train to another dimension to search for their scientist parents?
I watched this anime 10 years ago or more, and I missed the ending. During my childhood, this is one of my favorites.
The anime started with a little boy and his little sister riding a train at midnight to search for their lost parents. They met a girl in the train who rode the train to unlock the mystery of the train, and she also revealed that the train only appeared at midnight. The siblings told her they were in search of their parents who were scientist and was lost during the blast a year ago.
Their journey began when the train sent them into another dimension or world, where they met a man who possessed a gun with bullets of different type of effect (like fire, ice, water, air, etc.). Eventually, the man joined them in their search for the children's parent and sent them home too.
I guess that's a lot. Hope someone knows. Thank you :)

The anime is Final Fantasy: Unlimited. It was my favorite back then.
Synopsis from MyAnimeList

Ai and Yu, after reading their parent's research and after their parents' disappearance, they decided to go on search for them. They ride a strange train to the Inner World in search of their parents and meets up with Lisa in the train and together they begin their journey within the Inner World.

omg! thank you so much @Ray. It's really is! i can't believe it is final fantasy unlimited all this time! Brings back the memory :) thank u for the answer

The pleasure is mine. And enjoy watching it! It is a good one!

An obscure movie featuring a mysterious amphibious monster
I remember very little detail of this movie that randomly aired on TV about a decade ago. Here is what I do remember:

Dark overtones reminiscent of future noir style. The animation, similarly, is reminiscent of Ghost in the Shell or Ergo Proxy. The story paces slowly as further details about the monster are given. It was possibly produced in the late '90s to early 2000s, a few years before I watched it.
The focus of the movie is a rather generic monster: it walks on all fours, is adept at swimming, has olive skin, and a large tail. Also, at some point, it is discovered that it's pregnant.
One of the main characters is a salty old detective who limps around. I think he has a cane which he hastily abandons in a chase scene (see next bullet).
There is a climactic point in which the detective is limping through a multilevel construction site whilst being pursued by the monster. There are large exosuits visible in the background (possibly used for construction).
In this same scene, the construction site undergoes some sort of emergency shutdown, during which the monster's large tail is cut off by a closing door.
I'm not certain but I believe the monster dies in the end.

I'm sorry I don't remember any more details.

It is an arc in the Patlabor manga storyline. Most likely, you are talking about the Patlabor The Movie 3 (2002). It has also been adapted in the original late '80s OVA.

That's it! Wow, from looking at the trailer I left out a lot of things in my description. Not knowing what this movie was has irked me for a while now. Thank you!

Korean manhwa about a guy who cannot fight, but ends up winning every fight he is in
I read this Korean manhwa about 2 years ago. I am bad at names, which is why I don't remember the title of the book, nor the names of any of the characters. This is not a popular series, and may not even have an anime. The manhwa is complete.
It has street fights. There are no superpowers whatsoever, as they are all humans. It's all about a guy becoming the top fighter in the school completely by accident.
I believe it takes place at an all boys high school, but there is a girl whom everyone mistakes for a guy attending the school for some reason. There are technically no rules against girls going to that school, though.
The main character is a complete wuss, with brown hair. In the first fight (maybe, not too sure), he pretends to be tough, then a group of people try to beat him up. However, he accidentally beats them all up instead. After that fight, I think pretty much all fights from that point on are 1 on 1, as people try to take him down and fail by sheer bad luck.
Even with all the fights going on, the parents are never involved, though I believe the principle is, and he literally beats up any kids that get into fights.
There's also a less popular remake where he can fight, but he keeps losing to everyone he tries to fight with. Basically, a complete flip of the series.
Feel free to make pot shot guesses, I will look up all answers.

Really vague. Can you at least give a time frame or when you think you read it? Were the fights like super powered fights or street brawls? Any info would help.

street brawls..

:/ Idk the main character is a complete wuss, and wins fights on accident... the chick is precived as a guy to everyone including the main character until the very end, and she can also fight, she is not ugly either, its just she just didn't seem to belong.. main character has brown hair, chick has pink.. there are several other characters to fight.. I am scared to add more detail, as I may get it wrong thus ruin the search...

Angel densetsu http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Manga/AngelDensetsu in the story he is really a complete wuss but always ends up winning in fights in just pure luck

Nope, it Is not sen ken way :(

@ijustwannaknow look for Angel Densetsu (manga) it totally conforms in your story, he also become the top fighter in the manga by accident.

sadly that's not the series... :( thx assh for trying...

wow that series is like Verrry SIMILIAR.. dang, but the animation style is off by a lot, and its just not it... its like someone else had the same idea/ similar idea. tho this does remind me that the character im thinking of (tho his face isn't like creepy) can pull off a rather intimidating look.

@ijustwannaknow look at my answer below, try Transfer student Storm Bringer, the girl there has pink hair.

the answer is:•Transfer student Storm bringer  Assh O. Le popped up with five answers, and this was the last one...

Edit: The series is Transfer Student Storm Bringer.
The girl in this series has pink hair, and the guy has brown hair.

Maybe you are looking for Angel Densetsu.
In the manga, the main character becomes the top fighter of his school due to luck/accident. As a result, many people from other schools come to challenge him to test his abilities, but he wins by luck as always.
He is totally a complete wuss with no experience in fighting, and he is just ugly.

If the manga above is not what you are looking for, try taking a look at the manga listed below. They also have the same trait as Angel Densetsu where the protagonists are just wusses and win by luck.

Ocha ni Gosu
Gorio
Legend of the Strongest Man, Kurosawa
Bari Haken
Transfer Student Storm Bringer (The girl in this series has pink hair, and the guy has brown hair)

The series I was looking for is Transfer Student Storm Bringer. This is the only Korean manhwa among the series listed in the answer above.

Ju Ingong (which literally translates to Main character) has been terrifying all his schoolmates in every school he has been so far. He has one extremely scary face type and whoever lays his eyes on him thinks he is a BAMF (bad ass). Although… is he really?

i already posted this in my answer, you can accept it and point in the comment that that is what you are looking :)

lol I thought it was an automated answer thing because of all the http txt crap

btw i strongly recommend that you read angel densetsu it has a great plot. and its funny.

ill put it in my "to read area" lol I am just glad to get the name down, Now the only thing I don't know what is called that bothers me is a game I played when I was really young that was like bomberman, but you had to destroy the entire island, except the spot you where standing with tactical bomb placements...

I believe you are looking for Ultimate Legend: Kang Hae Hyo. He did not become a top fighter by accident. He was technically a beast in fighting until he got hit by a bus or truck (i can't fully recall which one was it). His lost memory started to re-surface as the fighting went on.
This manhwa also ticks the box on the girl you are looking for since the story involves a chick that was mistaken for a guy. She also led a gang where her gang members took her for a guy but for unknown reason she left the gang and only saw them again when she enrolled on a same school his former gang members were schooling at.

Thanks for your answer, but the author of the question has confirmed that it is Transfer Student Storm Bringer. Please check the other answers first before answering.

sorry about that, i thought  it was the manhwa he/she was looking for as the story is wayy too similar.

In which anime or manga was there a man who admired a fast killing sword technique but was mistaken
I do not remember if this character is from a manga or anime. However, I think he was a side-character who told his story to the main character, or at least a character of some importance.
His story goes somewhat like this: He is fascinated by fighting and trains in the sword techniques. One night, he witnesses a man killing someone with sword. Upon closer inspection, it is revealed that the facial expression of the slain man has a calm feeling to it. The character deduces that the killing must have been so swift that the slain man had no time to notice it.
Years after the man has been practicing his sword techniques, he encounters the man whom he has admired since that night. The character succeeds in decapitating the killer almost effortlessly. However, he then realizes that he has been mistaking about the facial expression that night, and that there was no such sword technique.
He then returns to his hometown to learn that the girl who mas madly in love with him has died while waiting for his return. The man regrets his life.
I'm thinking of something along lines of Samurai Champaloo or Rurouni Kenshin. However, there was no mentions on the characters lists for those descriptions. It could be an entirely different show. It could also be from Blood and Steel, Vagabond or other samurai/sword-themed show.

This description doesn't fit any of the protagonists for Samurai Champloo or Rurouni Kenshin (especially Kenshin...).

@Clockwork-Muse like I said "side-character" not a protagonist.

What you saw was an episode of Rurouni Kenshin
Specifically, 63: "The Legend of the Fireflies"

The episode is a perfect match to your description.
In that episode, Kenshin, the protagonist, encountered an old man who told him the exact story that you laid out in your post.
The man was already a hobbyist in swordsmanship, and participated in competitions with a wooden sword.
He saw a robber who killed some people with a technique as "fast as lightning, never eve realizing that it was over for them"
He killed a person, and left his love interest behind because she disapproved of the killing.
He killed more people, and eventually cut down the robber with ease.
When the robber died, the man saw the exact same expression on the robber's face, and he realized that he had surpassed him long ago and that the technique was just imagined, and not even real.
When he got back to his home town, he learned that his love interest was dead.

Thanks. The old man must not have been named then since I did not find him from the character list :/ Well anyways, you have granted me peace of mind :)

Anime with a boy wearing a sun-shaped crown
I found the following picture which collect a bunch of characters from many anime: I was curious about the two characters that I put in the red square (just below Ichigo). Which anime are they from?

The character on the left is Wataru Ikusabe from Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru.

The character on the right is Daiichi Haruka from Madou King Granzort.

They are grouped together because both series are directed by Shuji Iuchi. In fact, there is a crossover of Mashin Eiyuuden Wataru in the first episode of Madou King Granzort:

Anime about a guy who becomes a girl's spirit familiar
About two weeks ago, at a Funimation panel, they were showing off some anime that they had recently dubbed. One of the anime they showed caught my eye, but I completely forgot what it was called.
As far as I can remember, the plot went something like this:

By some random circumstance, this guy (I assume he's the main character),  a human, becomes this girl's spirit familiar (or something). Then they go to a special school.

Yep, that's what my brain remembers. If anyone has any clue as to what I'm talking about, please help.
I was at ACen 2015 (15-17 May, so two weeks ago) when I heard about this. I honestly don't remember anything about how it looked like, but the series couldn't have been more than 3 years old.

Given it was recent and from Funimation, I'd argue that it's Tokyo Ravens, rather than Familar of Zero. Both are good series though, so do check them out.

Licencer panel was Funimation, and Tokyo Ravens is distributed by Funimation.
Tokyo Ravens original run was from October 9 2013, to March 26 2014, which is quite recent. Familiar of Zero has been out for more than 3 years, given that it has 4 seasons.
The male protagonist, Harutora Tsuchimikado, fits the normal guy setting. He was born into an onmyouji family, but has no power to sense spiritual power whatsoever.
He takes up on a promise he made long ago to become Natsume's shikigami (familiar).
As Harutora becomes Natsume's shikigami, he has to follow her back to Tokyo and attend the Onmyo Prep School (which is a specialized school) with Natsume.

Figured I'd give a small quip from work...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Ravens

Please add a quick description of the anime itself into your post. Take the above answer for Zero no Tsukaima as inspiration. We’re looking for good answers that provide the content and context in the answer not by a link to Wikipedia ;) The edit-button is at the bottom left of your answer, next to share ^^ And welcome to Anime & Mange SX

@CharlesCoulton: I have edited the special school part to point to the fact that they goes to Onmyo Prep School. School during summer break is not abnormal for students failing their exam.

I agree!! Tokyo Ravens fits the description of the question more!!

@HotelCalifornia I feel you should change the accepted answer to this one because this was the real answer to your question.

Well, I would if I could figure out how to do it on mobile (yeah I'm late- I've been busy). I'll try to fix this tomorrow

It could be The Familiar of Zero

Meet Louise, a budding magician. The students at the Tristein Academy call her "Zero Louise", due to her current record of zero successes with magic. In fact, her magic tends to go spectacularly wrong. Now, as an important test of her aptitude for magic, she must summon a familiar to be her servant. At this critical moment, she summons up all her magic and wishes for a familiar that is "devoted, beautiful and powerful", and gets... Hiraga Saito, an ordinary Japanese boy. It's difficult to say who is more surprised and dismayed, but the rules don't allow for second attempts. Louise is stuck with her strange familiar, and he with her.

Proof's

By some random circumstance, this guy (I assume he's the main character), a human, becomes this girl's spirit familiar (or something).

This would be Hiraga Saito, as the description of the series points out he is an ordinary Japanese boy and becomes the Familiar for Louise

Then they go to a special school

Saito starts going to the same school as Louise, Tristein Academy, because he is now no longer of Earth but instead another world
Contradictions

at a funimation panel, they were showing off some anime that they had recently dubbed

FUNimation Entertainment did at one time have the licenses to distribute The Familiar of Zero, however these licenses have since expired and now owned by Section23 Films (Since 2014)

Yup, first one that came to my mind.

Weird that they were talking about it this year then... Well, in my head it had the animations from nobunagun, so I guess anything goes x_x

@HotelCalifornia it's the reason why i put in the contradiction. the Proofs match to what you describe but the Contradictions state that FUNimation hasn't had the licences since Since 2014 and i am unsure when you saw this panel

I saw the panel about two weeks ago, like it says in the question. I guess there's two possibilities as to why they were talking about it: 1) the two people holding the panel just mentioned an anime that they liked or 2) funimation is rereleasing the episodes it holds the license to. I'm thinking that it was probably the first one, but I really don't remember.

@HotelCalifornia i didn't see your edit when i posted my answer but as to the second point in your comment having not seen the series itself and only just owning the DVDs i have yet to confirm is FUNimation is even credited but if they were talking about an anime they recently dubbed then it would be The Familiar of Zero unless by "recently" they mean early last year as it was 7 May 2014 that Australia got the DVD, one would assume the US had it a lot sooner and it could have possible been streamed even sooner than that

Alright, fair enough. In any case, it seems that the actual series I was thinking of was in fact Tokyo Ravens. So now I have two things to watch \0/

That sounds like Zero no Tsukaima or The Familiar of Zero.
Visit its Wikipedia article to verify whether it matches your description.
It's one of my favorite, and it already has season 2.

welcome ^^ Hope you enjoy it too :)

It has seasons three and four, too.

Well, IMHO season 2 was worse and 3 was yet worse, but the looks are pretty indeed.
BTW, the devil-may-care Kirshe is actually the most known Russian Empress ;-)
Actually you may have fun just opening Wikipedia and reading about the historical persons, whom Japanese turned into those typical anime magic girls. It is I think no less interesting than the plot itself.

oh didn't know about the season 3 and 4! what should i expect with those season?

@nameme Season three was much like season two, apparantly, with little plot progression and lots of fillers. Season four stepped up the pace and got through a lot more source with more plot. But basically, we’re just watching it for a tsundere loli, so it doesn’t matter what actually happens, right?

@Jan woah i hate fillers! uhm well it depends to what type of anime haha but for this i think fillers are fun. I'll be watching this on weekend! Thank you so much.

What is the full lyrics of the song Si deus me relinquit?
During the 1:42 of the song there is some choir (priests?) singing in the background.
But I couldn't find out what they actually singing about.
Where can I found the lyrics of this song with the choir part included?

It seems to say

Agnus Dei qui tollis peccata mundi
(eng: Lamb of God, you who take away the sins of the world)

recalling this other music.

I didn't understand how do you know it is exactly what its means?

It's translated at the end of the notes of the video I linked (moreover it is a very famous prayer... and I studied Latin in high school ;) )

In Monogatari, why is the boy with the reverse jagirinawa still alive?
When Nadeko had the curse on her, she was almost going to be killed by it and it had only been a short time since she received the curse. Since the curse was removed, reversed, and was given to the boy, hasn't the curse had many months to kill him?

What if it really takes a long time, and Nadeko was the one who increased the time it would take to kill her because she was killing snakes at the cursed shrine.

Because Jagirinawa tried to kill Nadeko when the ritual was performed, there are 2 snakes on her body. The ritual of removal can be done only for one snake, the ritual is not strong enough to remove 2. So Araragi forcefully removed the rest, but was not strong enough and was stopped by Kanbaru by letting it go. Nadeko only have the pain from the curse, the boy didn't die because he's not doing the removal ritual and have no two curse in his body. So if the curse returns back to the boy, he only gets the pain.

Anime where a boy is transported to a world with a different sun and enrolls in a magic school?
I can't think of the anime name but the first episode stars the main character and either his little sister or female childhood friend. The main character can't help but notice that the sun is different (I think he noticed that the sun was black instead of orange or yellow). Then, I think, he is transported, or something similar to transported, to another world or dimension that's the same as earth but with magic. He then decides to enroll in a magic school because of a girl that may or may not have saved him.
I do remember that it is a recently dubbed or at least somewhat recently dubbed anime.
I only saw the first episode and would like to finish it but I can't remember the name.

The show you are looking for is probably Trinity Seven.

Kasuga Arata lived a normal life together with his childhood friend, Hijiri Kasuga, in a small town. However, everything changed on the day of the Black Sun, and a magus (mage) appeared before him. The Black Sun caused the Breakdown Phenomenon which destroyed the town where he lives. Because of this, his normal life was artificially reconstructed by a grimoire that his childhood friend had left. The appearance of the magus led him to a new life in the Royal Biblia Academy and meeting the members of the Trinity Seven.

it was trinity seven. thanks guys. i really appreciate it.

The anime that you are asking about is Trinity seven. It's first season has ended.
Description:

Everyday is a normal day in the small town where Kasuga Arata lives;
  however, everything changed on the day of the Black Sun, and following
  it, a magician appears before him. The Black Sun caused the Breakdown
  Phenomenon which destroyed the town where he lives.
