Trying to recall an anime name
I remember waking up in the early morning as a child and catching the last few minutes of this one anime on Toonami. From what I remember, this anime took place both in a simulated environment and in the real world. I recall a main character who, if I'm remembering correctly, had spiky silver hair and wielded two shortswords. I seem to recall him finding a giant tree stump amidst a simulated forest that, upon him standing on it and pulling two new blades from it, was teleported to a dark area before some godly figure of light. Next, I believe an older man followed this character's path the same way, found a Greatsword within the tree and also went to find the godly figure. I seem to recall a woman on a computer speaking to the man through a headset and soon the show went on to the credits, where, if I am recalling correctly, the main character was upside down, floating down the screen, and he was hit with a ball of black energy and completely ripped apart.
For all I know, I could just be loosing it and this could've all been in my head. But if not, I'd love some help in deducing which anime it was. Thanks.

The anime is .Hack//ROOTS

In 2015, CC Corporation's datacenter caught on fire destroying "The World". By splicing in data from what would have been another project, CC Corp. was able to rebuild the game. In 2016, "The World R:2" was released. .hack//Roots covers the time Haseo spent with Shino and Ovan in the guild known as the Twilight Brigade, before the .hack//G.U. PS2 games.

as per the description, it's the prequel to the PS2 game Series .Hack//G.U. particular it goes though the events that occur between the scenes of the intro to the first game (from when Haseo is first saved by Ovan until his fight, defeat and re-initialization at the hands of "Tri-Edge")
the scene you refer to is Episode 17 - Painful Forest and Episode 18 - Limit

 Set during the Forest of Pain event players are tasked to reach the deepest part of the forest. upon reaching it Taihaku (the one who finds the Greatsword) and Haseo (who finds a pair of Twin Blades) are teleported to another area outside the game
 Within this area each one encounters a red figure who asks if they have seen it's Daughter. those familiar with the previous games/series will recognize this has Harald Hoerwick, the one who first developed the Beta of The World called Fragment and the "Daughter" he asks about is Aura, the AI Child he created in the previous games
 Taihaku answers that he does not know Harald's daughter but wishes that she is ok to which Harald bestows onto him the sword he found. Haseo, consumed by rage in his quest to destroy "Tri-Edge" who turned Shino into a Last One answers he doesn't care about Harald's Daughter and demands to know where "Tri-Edge" is. Harald refuses to give him the weapon and Haseo is struck by something.
 before the Forest of Pain is deleted Tabby is waiting for Haseo to return and when he does she finds that he no longer looks the same. Haseo's Class, the Adept Rouge, can be powered up by obtaining new Forms and after what struck him Haseo has gone from the original 1st Form to the 3rd Form

i can't remember the woman on a computer but i assume this would be

 Ender/Pai - Real name is Reiko Saeki, a Member of the Guild, Raven, who's members are apart of Project G.U and are Epitaph Users who wield Avatars, the manifestation of one of the 8 Phases of Morganna

i believe is her as at the time the only other female character is Tabby however i don't recall her talking a man outside the game and i believe the man is

 Naobi/Yata - Real Name is Takumi Hino and is the .hacker Wiseman from the previous series of games. he is the leader of Raven and assists Reiko as they both work for CC Corp while he has deeper knowledge in the original Project G.U which Reiko's missing brother took part in

Manga about a survival game where people in the game make friends with outsiders using cell phones
I read a manga last year (I think it was last year ^^) and want to read it again, but I forgot the title. I hope you could help me find it.
It's about a guy who got dragged into a showroom or something like that with a big stage. They were being tested by a person, and had to win games in order to survive. They used cell phones.
I think the main character was playing a social game or something like that, in which you could make friends. He had a lot of virtual friends with whom he could talk about his problems, because he didn't get along with people in real life except for his sister. All other humans who weren't dragged into the survival game could watch this whole spectacle from a TV in the city.
The first part of this game was that the people outside this game could cancel their friendship with the people in this room, but if they cancel their friendship with them, the participants die immediately. The people outside the game would also die if the people in the survival die.
This is as accurate as I can remember. I hope somebody might be able to help me.

I'm quite sure it is Real Account.
Color spread from the first chapter:

Summary of the first chapter (written by yours truly, since I can't find any with enough details):

The story revolves around the social network Real Account. The protagonist generally didn't associate much with his friends at school, rather, he spent most of the time on his phone on Real Account, in which he had thousands of followers. When he was fiddling with his phone as usual, he (or rather his consciousness) got sucked into the virtual world of Real Account. This marked the start of the death game, where if you died in the virtual world, you and your followers would die in reality, and if your number of followers reached 0, you would died. The mastermind then announced the first game, where people were allowed to unfollow whoever got trapped in the virtual world within 3 minutes. Except for his sister, who told him she would never unfollow him, all followers of the protagonist unfollowed him.

youre a genius. how did you found that out? i tried everything but wasnt able to find it

@Martin: I have read the series. I can see why you can't find this series, since there is one synopsis everywhere and it doesn't describe the content of the story in detail.

Why is Aomine so dark-skinned?

As you can see above, Aomine is awfully dark-skinned compared to all the other Japanese characters in Kuroko no Basuke. Why is that?

Aomine being dark-skinned is to show that he used to play street basketball a lot. Unlike indoor basketball, where the players are not subject to direct sunlight, street basketball is played outdoor. Since Aomine used to play street basketball a lot, which can be seen from his playing style, his skin got darker. Also notice that although his skin is dark, he is not as dark-skinned as Papa "Otou-san" Mbaye.

Black people have different shades of skin color. So it doesn't have to be to look Japanese. Taiga too played a lot outside but he doesn't have the same skin color which means that Aomine is naturally dark colored.

Apparently the author wanted a "black" character in the story as a stereotype of being the "best basketball player" but still wanted him to be Japanese, so he is a little lighter than Papa who is African. Another Black Japanese guy is Nebuya on the Rakuzan team who is the same color as Aomine. The reason they aren’t as dark as Papa is because they’re dark-skinned Japanese people while Papa is literally a black person.
Note if you look at the official colored manga for Aomine, Nebuya and Papa they're relatively similarly as dark. Granted papa is still the darkest but not by much.

Welcome to Anime and Manga. with the first part to your answer do you have any sources backing it up?

What is the name of this manga involving spirits?
The main character was a boy who could see spirits, which he eventually got used to seeing them around him. Apparently, his grandmother used to teach him how to exorcise spirits, but his memory was wiped at some point after that.
Anyhow, their family was supposedly responsible for protecting these cracks in the ground which led to the spirit world, and after his grandma died, he had to protect it instead. Oh, but because he didn't remember any spells, the protectors of the other cracks into the spirit world (at other places) came to his house to hold a meeting of some sort.
In the manga, there's also a pair of siblings who used weasels to fight or something..., or maybe those were their spirit animals... I don't quite remember.
Does anyone know the name of this manga? I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone does :)

This is Totsugami (MAL-link):

Narukami Tasuku isn't just an average high schooler. He can see ghosts
  and demons, even though he doesn't want to. One day he was involved in
  an incident and found out that his family were totsugamimori, ones who
  protect the totsugamizuka. He is the only one remaining in his family
  and now, as a heir of totsugamimori, he was dragged into that world...

The siblings fighting with spirit weasels are: Takaomi Kozuka and his family.

An anime about a bullied girl who gets help from a "god"?
I'm searching for an anime which was released between 2013 and 2014. I am not so sure, but it seemed to be a new anime.
The plot of this anime is about a girl who has always been bullied at school. One day, when she goes to the schools toilet, she see a message on the WC door. The message comes from a boy/man/person who "is a god" (he calls himself a god). In the message, he tells the girl that he can stop the bullying and make her life better. All he wants from her is that she believes/trusts him like a god (because gods need trust/belief from humans to exist).

You're describing the plot to the first episode of Noragami
Wikipedia excerpt of the first episode:

A god named Yato answers a five-yen prayer to defeat a phantom that has appeared above a school using his Regalia, Tomone.

Below is a picture of the main characters - the one with the sword is the God, Yato.

I'm pretty sure the bullied person was a boy in Hiyori's class. Yato helps him after Hiyori asks him to. Hiyori herself doesn't ask help- she meets Yato when she saves his life and almost dies in the process. So I'm not sure this is the Anime, but maybe the OP got a few details wrong, in which case this answer is right

To add: That was episode 8, details https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Noragami_episodes

Melody from an anime I can't remember
I don't even remember the whole song.
Just a very, very small part of the beginning which goes like this I think:

But if you think you know what it's from, could you help me out?
Any help is appreciated.

Welcome! I signed up on that site (which seems necessary to see anything?) but then it just tells me Sorry, you don't have permission to read this score.

Same remark for me.

ok, I think I fixed it

@Bryan It's accessible now, yeah. This feels vaguely like it might be a Yuki Kajiura piece - look through the list of anime she's composed for and see if any of them are familiar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuki_Kajiura#Anime_soundtracks

It sounds a bit like Solitude by the Window from the Noir anime.

This is too vague. Could be Unjust Life from Angel Beats, or it could be almost anything. For example, it could also be A Town With An Ocean View from Kiki's Delivery Service. Can you provide more info? Is the song sad, so-so or happy? What instruments were used? Where did you hear it? Anything might help.

If as @senshin said it is by Yuki Kajiura, it may be Himeboshi.

It's that one from Angel Beats!!  Thanks so much

An anime about toy dolls which can be controlled when the player wears a headset
In this anime, I recall there being little people (toy dolls, perhaps) that could be bought in stores. If you put on a certain headset, you could move them around and play with them. There were competitions that you could enter these dolls in.
The main character is a girl, who has friends who enter the dolls in competitions. In addition, there is a male character (who may have had black hair, though I'm not certain). He enjoyed reading, and in either the opening or ending song, he could be seen falling asleep on his books.
What is the name of this anime?

Can it be http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelic_Layer ?

This is Kidou Tenshi Angelic Layer

12-year-old Misaki Suzuhara has just gotten involved in Angelic Layer, a battling game using electronic dolls called angels. Even as a newbie, Misaki shows advanced skills as she meets new friends and enters Angelic Layer tournaments to fight the greatest Angelic Layer champions of the nation.

Below is are 2 pages from chapter 3 of the manga showing the head set and how the doll can be controlled when the player wears the headset:

A manga where the protagonist's power comes from a "mole" on his face
It's a fantasy/horror/fighting manga.
The protagonist goes to this school surrounded with a giant wall, which is for people with sort of weird powers.
Overtime, he develops a power, which is basically a 'mole' on his face but is super strong and can help him regenerate limbs and do stuff, etc.
There is also a girl who is with him all the time. From what I remember, she wears glasses, is quite quiet to begin with and fights with a katana/sword.
If any of you can tell me what this manga is, it would be great as I would like to read it again.

Possibly YAKUZA GIRL.

Senguu Fumihiro is a young boy that made a promise to his dying grandmother to find a good wife for himself. With this intention he enrolls in a prestigious school but on the first day his world turns upside down when all the students begin to kill each other and one of them even turns into a monster. He is saved by a girl named "Akari" sent by one of the factions that rule the school to protect him.

Below is a picture of him getting said mole:

Can Crunchyroll's translations (subtitles, dubs, manga) be considered official translations?
Crunchyroll licences anime for simultaneous streaming (simultaneous with the Japanese TV airing, in some cases), so it should have early access to the material to be translated.
I won't touch on how they do it or who does it; what I am interested in knowing is:
Is the translation shown in CR to be taken as the official translation?

They're licensed to do so, so therefore that means they're official.

Whether they're good or not is another matter.

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ ok. I am going with this: http://meta.stackoverflow.com/a/251598

Since Crunchyroll has a license from the copyright owner, the content (including cuts / edited video, subtitles, translations, overlay text, dubbing) available is considered official.
Even though Crunchyroll does the translation, the translation is owned by the  anime studio. Also, sometimes the studio chooses how some terms are translated.

An old anime (1998-2007) about a guy living with a couple of girls under the same roof
I'm looking for an old anime but can't find it.
I watched it as a kid, around the time Dragon Ball Z got popular in the West too.
It's about a guy (I believe with glasses), that starts living in a house with a couple of girls. Most of the stories revolve around crushes of one another, but there are no-sexual encounters, just a lot of mistakes in which he sees them naked accidentally and gets kicked around a lot. Actually he has a crush on the oldest one of the girls in the house.
A lot of the anime is revolving around the local university/school. He pretends to be in the university, but actually isn't, while I believe the oldest girl in the house is taking the entrance exams.
There is no fighting in the game, nor any sexual content.
I believe it existed in manga form too.
I can't remember more. Does anyone know which anime I'm talking about?

This sounds like Love Hina. Some relevant plot points that matches your description:

The main character wears glasses.
He lives with other girls in a hotel, trying to get into the University of Tokyo. He failed the entrance exams twice and still attempts to get into it.
One of the girls is taking entrance exams to the same university.
He does accidentally see other girls naked at times.
There are no explicit sexual encounter, at least, none that I know of.

I'm not sure about him having a crush on the oldest one. Let us know if this is the correct answer or not.
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Hina

While "guy living with large group of girls, crushes abound, no sex but lots of accidental nudity resulting in grievous bodily harm" describes practically every rom com anime of the 90s, Love Hina is probably the ur-example.

Is Emilia stronger than the Four Generals?
According to the Hataraku Maou-sama Wikia,

Satan tried to conquer the land of Ente Isla with four of his war generals, Adramelech, Lucifer, Alsiel, and Malacoda, but was eventually forced to retreat to Earth due to the interference of Emilia and the resisting human armies.

If this is true, it is possible that she can beat Maou-sama. (Though that was in Ente Isla).
Does this mean that Emilia is stronger than the Four Generals?

Maou has been around for over 3 hundred years and has been taught more magic then even alciel knows. Emi has half human blood in her, so even though she can fly, heal, knock out someone, and use a sacred sword, she could not win in a fight against the demon king. The only reason she was able to corner him was because she had her comrades with her.

That is true satan is a true demon with immense physical prowess and demonic powers. well humans are immensely weak since emi is half human she could and won't be able to defeat satan. Maybe if she was a full angel she might be in equals term with him.

When it comes to Powers and Abilities , Maou had a great power than Emi .
As the Demon Lord, Maou possessed great demonic power. Demonic magic is extremely strong, and each user seems to have a unique coloured aura to indicate its presence. For him, that color is black.
On Earth, he lost most of his powers and was weakened to the point that he could only function as an average human. Finding magical sources was near impossible as magic is largely only present in the form of fiction. However, his powers can be temporarily restored by feeding off negative emotions like fear and despair from sentient beings in the surroundings, such as during the battles with Lucifer and Sariel.
Maou is able to cast so many high-class offensive and defensive magics to attack enemies or to defend himself from harm with ease.
Maou is surprisingly intelligent, able to piece events together and form a logical conclusion with relative ease, such as when he figured out Lucifer's motivations for the mugging incidents around the neighbourhood to accumulate power.
While Emi's human body is more fragile on Earth than it is in Ente Isla ,shown to be capable of flight, but its limitations (such as whether it uses up her Sacred Power or not) are not clear as of yet.
to be exact Emi can't defeat Maou.

Why does Yasako have an encode reactor?
In episode 23 of Dennou Coil, we find out that Yasako (Okonogi Yuko) has a working encode reactor. I think I missed the part where they explain how she got it and whether it's a physical device or a virtual one. Was it something installed into her body (or her virtual private data) during the healing experiment?

In a forum post asking the same thing you did,

So, where did Yasako's encode reactor come from? It can't possibly be from Isako's prior encode; Satchii always chased Yasako even when she was "clean." It must have been built into her glasses from the beginning by the Cyberpappy. Exactly why he felt the need to do this, I don't know.

this was the reply:

It came from the kilabug (kirabug?) that Isako transferred while
  trying to save Haraken.

Manga that involves a boy with cursed mechanical dragon wings whenever he is in danger
I cannot find the name of the manga.

The boy ends up joining a mercenary group that has a talking Alligator as the leader.
He teams up with a vampire girl, a robot dude with his robot dogs.
In the last chapter I read, his team was stopping a slave trafficking caravan.

What exactly are you referring to with "cursed mechanical dragon wings whenever he is in danger"?

This is definitely Stealth Symphony

Boy with cursed mechanical dragon wings: check, the protagonist
joining a mercenary group with a talking alligator boss: check
Vampire Girl: check
Robot dude with robot dogs: Check, no link found :(
Stopping a slave-trafficking caravan: Check, that's about chapter 6 - 9

What're the names of the Thunder and Poison Dragons?
In Fairy Tail, all the Dragons have names, like the Fire Dragon, Igneel. But I don't remember anyone mentioning the names of the Thunder Dragon or the Poison Dragon in the anime. Does someone know what their names are?

Laxus and Cobra are Second generation Dragon Slayers, so they weren't taught Dragon Slayer Magic by a Dragon. Hence, Thunder and Poison Dragons are never mentioned (moreover, they possibly do not exist at all).

Those from the second generation of Dragon Slayers have had Dragon Lacrima implanted into their bodies, granting them the ability to use Dragon Slayer Magic. Because they were not taught their abilities by a Dragon, they are considered artificial Dragon Slayers.

But how did they get the Dragon Lacrima in the first place? Was it extracted from a Dragon?

It has never been explained... The only known informations is that a Dragon Lacrima is a rare and extremely expensive Lacrima that gives individuals artificial Dragon Slayer Magic when implanted. (It's what you find written here)

The dragon lacrima is only able to be extracted out of the dragons when they are dead, so technically, there was a thunder dragon and a poison dragon, but they were most probably on the verge of dying, or already dead, so the lacrima could be extracted and placed in their bodies.

Anime involving a love story and two samurai/assassin villages, previously on unfriendly terms, that were made to fight each other again
Please help me find the name of this anime I've watched online maybe 3 years ago. This is how I remember it:
There were two villages with previously unfriendly assassins or samurais (possibly with supernatural powers) that made some sort of pact because a woman from one village and a man from the other were in love. They were always meeting somewhere in the middle of the path between the villages. It was almost sunrise and each wanted to stay together a little bit longer.
In the meantime, some weird bad person decided the villages had to have a tournament of some sort, and scrolls were given to the heads of the families. They had a fight, maybe both died? And a crow or some bird took one of the scrolls. The Romeo/Juliet (not their real names) parted ways. Maybe some spiderwebs now and maybe the scrolls were 10 for each of the strongest warriors.
And there was fighting. In the last episode, the only ones left were the Romeo/Juliet combo. I think the Juliet was seriously injured and one of them was blind. Furthermore, one of them took some kind of poison. They probably both died at the end, but I think the weird bad person died, too, maybe in a carriage carried by people, not horses.
I'm not sure about most of the stuff, except for the title of my request. :? If anyone can help me, I'll be happy to watch this anime again. Thank you.

This sounds a lot like Basilisk.

There are two warring ninja clans, one led by a girl, Oboro Iga, and the other a man, Gennosuke Kouga, who are both secretly in love with each other. They all have unique supernatural powers. During the course of the story, Gennosuke is blinded by a spell of some sort and they both of to fight each other at the end of the series.
It's very much like a "Romeo/Juliet" type story set in 17th century Japan.

A light/web novel about a person reincarnated as the youngest child in a noble family, who later learns magic from a zombie magician
The main character of the story is a boy born into a noble family that rules the surrounding farming lands but is actually rather poor. He has many big brothers, and therefore he has no hopes of becoming the successor of the family, but he doesn't have any intention of doing so anyway. His father also has an affair with the village head's daughter.
No one pays attention to him or expects anything from him, except for one of his big brothers. Magicians are rare in the world, but his father does have some magic books, even though he cannot use magic himself. It turns out the boy has a great talent for magic and learns very quickly. He also visits the woods behind the estate to train his magic and hunt for game. Because the woods are dangerous, people generally don't enter leisurely, and since the population is desperately needed for farming, there are not many hunters. When he brings back animals he hunted, he is greatly praised for adding meat to their family's fare, which is usually made of unappetizing gruel.
One day, he meets a zombie in the woods, who turns out to be a great magician who died but cannot leave because of his wish to find a disciple. In a short time, the boy learns his new master's magic and also receives his mana capacity. His master grants him his magic storage ring, which among many other items, also includes rations that could feed an army for months. The boy grants his master a peaceful death with his newly learnt magic.
It slowly becomes known that this young master can use magic, and the village head approaches him to usurp his oldest brother's claim to the title of the head of the house. The boy, however, does not wish for conflict nor is he interested in the position.
When his oldest brother marries, all of his big brothers are forced to leave the house, since they have come of age and need to find their own path in the world. The boy gets to stay a few more years because he is still too young. His mastery of magic allows him to fly, and thus he can visit other cities. In the city, he pretends to be a young boy from a neighboring village who came to sell game his father hunted.
When he becomes a bit older, the boy leaves his home to enroll in an adventurer's school. In order not to strain his finances, he applies for scholarship and passes the test with flying colors. He forms a team with 1 other boy and 2 girls.
As a representative of his house, he is invited to attend a party of the reigning local noble. It turns out that they were interested in him because they found out about his connection with his master. His master was a genius magician among their ranks, who was sent to battle but perished and ended up wandering around as a zombie. The noble asks for the battle rations back and the boy returns them. In exchange, they hand over his master's bank account and house.
I think that the description of this novel says that it contains a lot of economic topics. If I recall correctly, the main character is also a reincarnated person from another world. The novel is in the mangaupdates.com database, but I cannot find it. Please help if you know it, thanks!

I found it. It's Hachinan tte, Sore wa Nai Deshou!
Synopsis from mangaupdates:

Ichinomiya Shingo, a young 25 years old, single, worker of firm company while thinking of tomorrow' busy working day goes to sleep. However the moment he woke up, it's a room unknown to him. He then learn that he is inside a 6 years-old boy and is taking over his mind. He then learn a lot from the memories of the said boy: he was born as the youngest child (8th son and 10th child) of poor noble family living in back country. Having no administrative skill, he can't do anything to manage the vast land his family has.
Fortunately, he is blessed with a very rare talent, talent of magic. Unfortunately, while his talent could bring prosperity to his family, in his situation it only brought disaster. Yes, this is the story of the boy, Wendelin Von Benno Baumeister, opening his own path in a harsh world.

Kekkai Sensen ep9, meaning of "playing it backwards in double-time/fast-forward"?
5:54 Zapp said "What's he doin', playing it backwards in fast-forward?" You could replace fast-forward with double-time according to another set of subtitles. He was referring to the vampire, but the vampire wasn't even doing anything. What exactly does it mean?

The vampire they were fighting was regenerating (I guess "playing it backwards" as in "reverting to a prior, unhurt state") quickly ("in double-time").
He had previously been severely injured by crashing into the skyscraper and by Klaus's attack. Note that about 30 seconds prior (in video time, not necessarily in-show time), he looked like this:

I think there's a kernel of a pun in here. Zapp says 逆再生の早回しかよ gyaku-saisei no hayamawashi ka yo. The word 再生 saisei has two meanings. One, "play" as in "to play a video". Two, "regenerate" or "come back to life". The prefixal 逆 gyaku means "the opposite of" or "reversed". So whereas a regular creature regenerating might be "coming back to life", an eldritch undead abomination like a vampire might instead be "coming back to life backwards" - gyaku-saisei, which is also the word you'd use for "to play a video backwards".
I'm kind of reaching here, though; I'm not sure whether that was the intention.

A manga about two students in a class where everyone but them is in a relationship
It's about two students in the same class who realize everyone but them is in a relationship. They are kind of forced by their classmates to go out with each other, even though they don't particularly like each other.
I remember the cover of one volume being the two main characters in front of a class board. There is also an otaku couple (one acts openly, while the other is a closet otaku).
I read this manga once and really liked it, but can't remember the name.

It's most likely Bocchi na Bokura no Renai Jijou.
The color spread from chapter 1 indeed features the main couple in front of blackboard:

Synopsis from mangaupdates:

When summer break ended, high-schooler Ichijou Hajime finds out that everyone in his class but him has gotten a girlfriend or a boyfriend! Hajime suddenly finds himself a loner but then Ninomiya Chitose transfers into his class...!?

Since they are the only loners in the class, their classmates suggest them to go out with each other. Of course, they vehemently refuse the suggestion, since they just meet each other. However, the boy makes a faux pas when he says he doesn't want to date her just to make do, which the girl responses by saying that he is "unsold good". This marks the bad start of the love story between them.
As for the otaku couple, here they are:

What is this anime about a green-haired robot named Sophie?
In around 2010, I remember watching an anime that was sort of based in the future after some type of explosion happened.
I think there was a green-haired girl robot thing named Sophie, and she stayed with a man named Ryo, who lost his daughter in the explosion.
It ended with the robot girl going into outer space to save everyone.
What is this anime?

For SEO purposes, just writing here to say that the two characters are actually Solty and Roy (not Sophie and Ryo).

You're definitely thinking of SoltyRei.

There's Roy Revant (right), a bounty hunter who lost his daughter in the Blastfall (when a large building exploded).
Solty (middle), a Resemble (or artificial human), unlike anything the world has seen before...
And finally Rose Anderson (left), a thief who is revealed to be Rita Revant (Roy's daughter), shortly before her death.

What's this manga about a boy who could control time
The manga was about a boy who could control time. He could even reverse death. When he uses his power, he enters a different dimension and time is represented by films and he could cut out parts of the film, which in turn changes the past. He was a normal boy until a group of kids that had esp came to find him. Among those kids, there was a girl whose power could her escape from her body, sort of like a soul, and the girl also ends up naked when she uses her power. There's also another boy with the same power as the mc but he's the bad guy and is from where the group of kids escaped from. The place where they escaped from is dubbed "the greenhouse" and kids with esp are there where they take medications to get stronger. There's also this battle with people from the greenhouse and one of the enemies is a girl with a giant lollipop I think. I also believe the mc was dubbed Zero by the greenhouse.

I think it's the Psycho Busters:

I could find this specific information from the wiki of this manga:
"Angered by ... ruthless murder ... power awakens and time begins to rewind." which refers to bringing back the death.
Also there is mention for the Greenhouse you said and the group with some boys.

There's also a female character (Ayano) who apparently does astral projection, which sounds in line with what the OP mentioned with the girl's abilities.

What's this anime with a boy and girl meeting and becoming siblings?
The story is about a girl and a boy meeting after their parents went on a vacation. When their parents came back they exchanged partners and the two became siblings. Please help. I wont be able to sleep well until I remember the anime. ;(

It's Marmalade Boy. Originally a manga, had an anime adaptation later.
From the Wikipedia page I linked above:

Miki Koishikawa's ordinary life as a high school sophomore is turned upside down when her parents suddenly announce that they are getting divorced in order to swap partners with a couple they met in Hawaii. They seek her approval of the shocking change, and at a dinner where Miki meets the other couple as well as their son Yuu, who is about her age, she reluctantly agrees to the arrangement. Yuu, while at first a jerk who takes every opportunity to make fun of Miki, turns out to be fun and attractive, and Miki finds herself falling for him.

『ママレード·ボーイ』 (Marmalade Boy) is a 76-episode TV anime which also has 1 theatrical film (the film is a prequel). It is adapted from an 8-volume manga, and there is a currently-running manga sequel titled 『ママレード·ボーイ little』(Marmalade Boy - little -) which continues the story when the original protagonists (Miki and Yuu) are in their 30s.
Neither Miki nor Yuu change their family registry (戸籍, koseki), so although their parents divorce and remarry, they do not change their family or their names, and neither is adopted by a non-biological parent. Technically, according to Japanese law, they are not siblings.
Actually, the animated film shows that Yuu "met" Miki before their four parents arranged for them to meet in episode 1 of the TV series. He observed her and started to like her before he found out that their parents would swap spouses and all six people would live under one roof. Although they live together in one large house, because Yuu already liked Miki as a romantic interest from beforehand, he did not come to think of her as a sibling. When Miki met Yuu, she was immediately physically attracted to him but hoped he would help her break up their parents, so her initial feeling toward him was not that of a sibling either. (This is markedly different from the situation of their younger siblings in the sequel, in which Yuu's younger sister grows up in the same house with Miki's younger brother and thinks of him as a sibling even though they are not legally related nor do they share a bloodline.) When the parents returned from their vacations in Hawaii, they got Miki and Yuu's consent before proceeding with the divorce and re-marriage, so when they moved into the large house together, the four parents were not yet married in their new pairings (Japanese law requires a waiting period between a divorce and a subsequent marriage, so at the time of the move-in date, the four of them were all single). It is not clear in what way the parents expected their children to relate to one another, other than as being one big happy "family."
Spoiler for the end of the anime series and for 『ママレード·ボーイ little』:

 When Miki and Yuu divulge to their parents that they love each other romantically, their parents are not at all bothered; it is clear that they did not assume their children ought to consider one another as siblings. Miki and Yuu marry in 『ママレード·ボーイ little』 and intend to birth biological children, so they never end up functioning as siblings.

What's this mecha anime with a robot world championship?
Ok, so this was a mecha anime. It was a series. The main story is that there was a boy who, along with his robots (I think they belong to him, also I think some of them were created by his grandpa ) are trying to win some kind of robot world championship. I just remember some scenes, which I am describing below

There is one scene where the boy's grandpa says that he left a sticker inside every robot he created, then one of the robots exclaims "huh! So that sticker is inside me also ?"
In one of the fights, one of the opponent's robots has a cobweb inside, due to which it cant function properly.
Then there is one scene where they go to train, and one of the robots was cutting wood, but the way he was cutting was curious, that he simply tapped the wood and it was cut perfectly (sides were smooth)
The main female character goes to another team, where she is assigned to work on only a limb of the robot. She quits saying that her team is the best( the main character's team ) and that she is returning to it

Please help me find this anime. Really important part of my childhood.

Might you have when you might have approximately seen it?

Could it be Medabots?

No. Its not medabots, I checked. As for the time, I saw it approximately 7-8 years ago. But I believe that it was released before dat

The main character has more than one robot

OK I think I am pretty sure the anime you are looking for is Daigunder

POINT 1: The main character is Akira Akebono and his grandfather, Hajime Akebono, is a famous research scientist who created the robots. He is like Ash Ketchum except with robots instead of pokemon. The robot which says ,"I have the sticker inside me too?"  is Daigunder units' human like AI robot called Ryugu, flaming robot warrior.
POINT 2: Coming to the cobweb thing, there is an episode where the robot malfunctions and tries to harm Ryugu even after the battle is over. Akira jumps in (like Ash saving Pikachu or hugging it to death ) and tries to protect Ryugu. I think they get disqualified for a that tourney. But Akira gains Ryugu's trust.
POINT 3: And the robot cutting wood must be Bulion, the blue thrasher. Its just a small scene in training. I don't clearly remember which episode.
POINT 4: The girl in question is Haruka, she at first thinks Akira is a dumb kid (as he really is). But eventually joins this team as a manager.She gets a job at her dream company I guess but instead, joins this team.
check this out for a list of episodes. But all you points come up within 4 to 5 episodes of the series. Hope this helps :D
https://www.google.com/search?q=daigunder+episode&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8#q=daigunder+episodes

This is what I was looking for. Thank you for your help !!!!!

glad i could help :D . Enjoy the dai dai dai daigunnddderr song :D

What was Zaimokuza's role in Hachiman's scheme to elect Iroha?
In episode 5 of Oregairu S2, Hachiman enlists Zaimokuza's aid in getting Iroha elected president. Zaimokuza then goes on to give Hachiman an earful about how he doesn't want to be the fall guy for the scheme and how Hachiman had better take responsibility, and all of that.
But what role did Zaimokuza even have in the scheme? It looked to me like Hachiman did all the work in setting up the Twitter accounts and pulling the bait-and-switch.

I don't really remember how the anime showed it, but in the light novel Hachiman and Zaimokuza both split up the Twitter accounts between them. Then the night before the day that Hachiman shows the printouts to Irohasu, he had actually called Zaimokuza to change the accounts' display name and images to "Isshiki Iroha Grassroots Account". Understandably Zaimokuza was not very enthusiastic about it, and only agreed after he was convinced that he wouldn't be blamed for it.
That phone call is right in the beginning of chapter 8 of volume 8. So yeah the 'switch' part wasn't done by Hachiman himself. He did take the printouts later though.

What is the Japanese word they are talking about?
In EtoTama ep 4, around 11:40, Rabbit introduces herself as a Production Pro, or "P.P.". Boar then goes and gently pushes the 4th curtain aside (note: it is just episode 4 and there is no longer a 4th wall standing in that series) and says:

I wonder if she realizes that abbreviation sounds like it's meant to censor a word we can't say on air.

What word is Boar talking about?

Are you sure it's a jap word? Sounds like a common child word for male genitalia.

@iKlsR, Yes, a Japanese word is being referred to here:「ビーッ」 (piiii) (see answer below). The Japanese children's words for male genitalia are 「ちんこ」  (chinko) and 「おちんちん」  (o-chinchin), neither of which sound like "P."  Also, please be aware that "Jap" is a racial slur used to negatively refer to Japanese people or people of Japanese descent and can easily offend, so one should avoid using it to refer to the Japanese language as well.

「P」 is a common Japanese name suffix, so there is arguably a play-on-words going on here too. You can add it to any person's name (first name or last name, male or female, though it is more often used for females). It is a cute and informal suffix for a friend.
For example, the 「P」 suffix is used in Sailor Moon. Usagi calls Minako 「みなP」(Mina-P), and Chibi-usa calls her cat-face robot「ルナＰ」(Luna-P). The mangaka's editor 小佐野文雄 (Osano Fumio), goes by the nickname "Osa-P" in real life. The jewelry store in the series, 「ジュエリＯＳＡ＊Ｐ」, is named after him.
To give yourself a nickname suffix, and to double a 「P」suffix into two back-to-back Ps is likely to portray Usa's character as ultra-cute and cutsey  (「うさ」 Usa, short for rabbit, 「兎」 usagi  + 「P」+「P」). Japanese onomatopoeia (擬態語, gitaigo; 擬音語, giongo, and 擬態語, gitaigo) often (though not always) repeats one or two syllables next to each other, and is considered to have a cute sound.
Boar's Fourth Wall comment indicates that Usa only has the 「P」suffix, in mind, but that the audience knows that 「ビーッ」 (piiii) is the sound effect (擬音語) of a high-pitched computer error sound, such as a censor bleep for television broadcast.

The Japanese onomatopoeia for the sound that a censor bleep makes is ピー pii, which happens to also be the pronunciation of the letter "P". Hence, "Usa P.P." sounds not entirely unlike "Usa <BLEEP> <BLEEP>" to the Japanese listener.

Anime where MC learns the abilities of his foes, in destroyed or war-torn city
I'm looking for an anime I would love to draw or watch again and here are the details

Good graphics all around
Very, VERY few episodes, about 20-40
Includes superpowers (a girl shapeshifting , a guy learning everybody else's abilities , etc).
Protagonist is a guy that learns the abilities of his foes, there is one more guy with this power who is supposedly stronger but I think he loses in the end.
It's about a destroyed city or a war is going on and they are living in some kind of church.
The girl comes with the Protagonist in the start, she wears purple, very short top and skirt, it reveals her belly and she has big breasts, blue hair
A woman that doesn't talk is an enemy, and she uses aromas as a special ability, and also uses a board to write (so to speak she is talking like that).

I think that's it.

It would be nice to have more anime that are short enough that 20-40 episodes wouldn't be considered "Very, VERY few". I don't have that much time in my life. :P

24 episodes isn't "Very, VERY few". A lot of anime have only 12-24 épisodes.

I'd say the majority only have 12 episodes, or one season's worth. A select few make it to 24. Very, VERY few anime get to boast 40+ and those are typically the "AAA" titles such as One Piece or Bleach or Naruto

I guarantee you, you're thinking of "Needless".
Some details:

Very, VERY few episodes , about 20-40 episodes

Needless has 24 episodes.

Includes superpowers (a girl shapeshifting , a guy learning everybody else's abilities , etc).

From Wikipedia: "The Black Spot eventually becomes populated by outcasts, some of whom, as a result of the contamination, gain various powers called "fragments". Those in possession of such fragments come to be known as "Needless".

Protagonist is a guy that learns the abilities of his foes, there is one more guy with this power who is supposedly stronger but I think he loses in the end.

From Wikipedia, the main character is "Adam Blade": "Adam Blade is a destroyer priest who lives in the church in Sector 533. He has a metal collar engraved with the characters '079.AB.' affixed to his neck. He has inhuman strength and endurance as well as accelerated healing, plus a skeletal structure attached with a special metal called Orichalcum. It was revealed that he is a clone of the strongest Needless, 'The Second Christ'. His only flaw is his attraction to cute, young girls. His fragment 'Zero' allows him to learn the attacks of his enemies, after being hit by it or seeing it, also being able to combine other abilities learned as well. His special move is 'Death Verdict', the final pronouncement when taking an enemy's life."

Its about a destroyed city or a war is going on and they are living in some kind of church

From Wikipedia: "This anime is set in the year 2130 (the beginning date remains unclear), 50 years after World War III. The war has left a crater where Tokyo once stood, a place now filled with contaminated rubble."

A school-life manga where everyone is given a word, which becomes their power to survive against monsters
I'm looking for a manga I read about 4-5 months ago. I can't remember the names of the characters. These are what I can remember:

It is about a school which only accepts students who can see an island in the sky.
On the first day, everyone was given a word which turned out to be some kind of power. The main character got the word which allowed him to change his appearance to that of other people.
Most of the student were killed in the first day by some kind of monster, and there were monsters appearing everyday (except for rainy days).
There was one student who got the word which made him immortal. Another one got the word which gave him the ability to steal anything (heart, brain, etc.)

Sounds like you're looking for Aphorism

It is about a school which only accepts students who can see an island in the sky:

Welcome to Naraka High School, where every graduate is guaranteed a bright future. Seriously. Just by graduating, your status will be greatly raised, and can even become a bureaucrat without ever needing to go to college. Entry requirements? If you can see the floating island, you’re accepted.

On the first day, everyone was given a word which turned out to be some kind of power. The main character got the word which allowed him to change his appearance to that of other people.

Rokudou Momiji is a kid who does not matter, an absolute nobody. He has never been smart enough, or fast enough, or even tall enough, and he wants to change that, since he’s going to high school, and especially since he’s met a girl he wants to impress. So on the first day of high school, when the students are tasked with writing down “a character (kanji) that they will need for the future”, he writes down the kanji for “change”.

Most of the student were killed in the first day by some kind of monster, and there were monsters appearing everyday (except for rainy days).

Monsters start oozing out from the ground, and all the students are forced to start fighting for their lives. ... When it’s over, more than half of the student population has been killed, and there's more: every time the floating island aligns with the sun, something like this will happen, and every time it happens, students will be expected to fight for their survival.

Name of anime which is about a fugitive princess who controls a mecha
Okay, so I'm trying so hard but I cannot remember this for the life of me...

It's a movie that's relatively new and probably around 2005-2013
Genre: Mecha
A princess is on the run and controls a mecha
Princess' mother was killed in a coup d'tat
Boy whom she finds has white hair and blue eyes and is a really good fighter
At the end of the movie, there is huge fight with a mega mecha that everyone assumed was a myth
In order to use the mecha, it has to stab you in the throat
It has a sad ending cause both the main characters die

Neppu Kairiku Bushi Road

Sounds a lot like this anime and it is from 2013 but the boy did not die, only the girl did. But that was in the after-credits scene so its possible you did not see it. The robot did stab the girl in the throat and it was considered a myth.
From Wikipedia:

The story takes place in a time when the world is in the pits of despair after being ravaged by a poison called "shinobi" that came to earth via an asteroid. The people run away to the place called "Kairiku," a place that used to be the bottom of the ocean. Here, the people try and protect themselves against the effects of the poison. In such a world, there was a single light of hope. The "Holy Weapon Giga Road" and the legendary warrior "Yagyuu" are needed in order to counter the effects of the poison. Ame, a princess of a fallen nation, stands up in order to save the world.

Ame: The main girl

A former princess/priestess of the country Ise.
  Her mother is dead because of a shinobi. She travels with companions and a key to finding a weapon built by men who put an end to the shinobi. She has romantic feelings for Suou. She disappeared in the end.

Would you mind perhaps giving a few more details (perhap by copying a summary from elsewhere) to indicate to the OP why you think this is it? See this for some guidelines.

I hope this is good enough.

What manga is this page used to advertise for scanlators from?
What is the name of the manga below, the text has been changed by a translator team to help find new translators.

Happy Cafe

Romance and happiness blossoms at the Happy Cafe! Uru takes her mother's remarriage as an opportunity to work part time at the Happy Cafe. There, she befriends Ichirou and Shindou, two of the most unsociable guys she's ever met! To make matters worse, it turns out that Uru is not exactly meant for the waitressing world, as she's a huge klutz. But as this hilarious shoujo tale unfolds, true happiness,and even true love, lurks just around the corner. source

this particular image you have posted is from the 11th volume of this manga.
for more informations about his manga see here or here

Welcome to the Anime/Manga SE. Could you perhaps expand a bit on some details of the manga?

Thanks, its my first post here so i am not sure what kind of details i might provide, is it enough to add the wikipedia link : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Happy_Cafe

generally, what I've seen people do is either summarize the synopsis (I've done this for some series I've never actually followed) or perhaps copy-paste one from a site (with the source included). It's also good to include a link to Wikipedia or similar sites. This might be helpful (although personally, I've never included an image in my answer).

In cases like this, it's also useful if you manage to find a copy of the original manga page and post that in too.

Next chapter was suppose to reveal if that part is true.
Can someone help me find this manga?

Welcome to the Anime/Manga SE. Could you clarify what you meant by "it has only one chapter"? Later you talk about a "next chapter", so I'm a bit confused.

The manga is Zero no Shiniki, and like you said, there's only one chapter translated so far.
Synopsis from MangaUpdates:

Kanzaki Rei is an avid gamer, but one day he hit rock-bottom due to his debts. During the night while sleeping, a strange phenomenon happened and sent him inside the game he previously played. A world of life and death awaits.

Why did Animax Asia stop telecasting Naruto Shippuden in India?
Animax Asia suddenly stopped airing new episodes of Naruto Shippuden in India as of January 30th 2014. As I am a Naruto fan, I was upset to see it cancelled. What was the reason it stopped airing?

It's too common in India. First Cartoon Network did that and now Animax. Same happened with Dragon Ball Z

Yes. you are right. First CN stops most popular shows and now Animax. Its very annoying.

Does the anime has enough viewership rating? If not, that might be cause for the halt/stop.

Yes. Naruto is a world famous anime series. It will surely have enough viewership rating.

This answer is based on my opinion and backed up with a few facts. So I can't say I'm sure that this is the reason.
Firstly, it's Animax India and not Animax Asia. It's different from the Animax in different Asian countries but is probably similar to the Animax in Singapore and Pakistan. This is what I understand from the articles on Animax Asia and Animax India on Wikipedia. I believe it is the shows that air on the channel that make all this difference.
Secondly, I believe that this must be a common practice on Animax India. I think so because InuYasha met the same fate. The sequel of the series, InuYasha the Final Act was completely aired a few times but I have never seen them air the series InuYasha completely (that is, from when I have been viewing the channel, probably November of 2009).
Thirdly, I guess you would know why was Animax delisted by DTH connections (excluding DEN, Siti Digital and the likes) in India. It was because Animax couldn't pay carriage fees. Why? The most probable reason is the low viewership. You say Naruto is 'world famous'. Yes, agreed. But how many people do you personally know who watch/like anime, let alone Naruto. Not more that 10, or at most 15, I guess? That's the point. In comparison to the size of the country, the number of viewers is insufficient, if not negligible. So, airing any anime here in India is not practical, or I would say, profitable.
The first point tells you that Animax India is a different entity, the second one tells you that Naruto is not the only case and the third one gives you the (most probable) reason why Animax India discontinued airing new episodes of Naruto Shippuden. To summarize, Animax will air new episodes of Naruto Shippuden if there are enough viewers, which is not the case. Sad, but true. Then again, it's my opinion backed up with some facts. So, I can't be that sure.
P.S.: You are lucky to be able to even watch those limited episodes on Animax. I don't even get Animax here on Dish TV.

Looking for a magical girl anime episode where the heroine is turned into a baby
I'm looking for a particular episode from a magical girl anime, but I don't know the name of that anime. In the episode I'm looking for, the heroine finds a baby, and in order to communicate with it, she uses her powers to turn herself into a baby. However, because babies can't speak very well, she can't pronounce the magical words to change back. Does anyone know which anime this could refer to, and which episode? Thanks in advance.

Please add more details, as specified in http://meta.anime.stackexchange.com/questions/891/what-criteria-should-we-use-for-qcing-for-all-identification-request-questions/892

I wish I could, but that's all the details I have; I got the description from a person's comment on another website, but said description was that vague. I'm sorry for not being able to provide more details... :(

I know a manga (which has an anime too) where a girl turned herself as a baby, but had difficulty to change back due to the "baby language", but the purpose was not for talking with another baby but for being a replacement until the actual baby is back.
The manga is Hime-chan no Ribbon, in the books, this event happened in a bonus chapter of the volume 9.

Thank you very much; I don't know if this is the manga the person was alluding to in the comments I read (He posted this recently, and hasn't left any details since), but that seems close enough to me. I'll still leave the question open for a little while longer, just in case. BTW, I read the chapter you mentioned, and the manga looks adorable as all get up, so I'll check it out further. Thanks again!

you're welcome, indeed it's really cute (and it's also fun), I recommend it

A manga about the adventure of a pair of brother and sister in a game world
Around 1-3 years ago, I found an interesting manga in my local library, but I didn't bring my library card with me. The following week, I returned to borrow it to read, but of course it was gone :/
Things I remember is:

The manga was based in a game world or VR.
They were not trapped like SAO, rather it was a really good VR.
There was a boy and girl, and they were brother and sister.
The brother complained about his sister's lewd or ecchi outfit, and it was a running gag where he challenged people who hit on her.

The story content included:

Finding a phoenix down to save someone
A cute hippo-like pet, which could be grown into a mount. (One of the side/main characters had one of these, and he was kinda an arsehole)
There was a race and people was swimming in it

It has been translated into English, because it's in my local library and I live in the UK.

I believe you are looking for .hack//Legend of the Twilight.

It's about a game called The World.
People can freely log out, including the main characters.
The main characters are a boy named Shugo and his twin sister Rena.
Rena's outfit is quite revealing.
There are hippo-like creatures, called Piikey. Hotaru, one of the female side characters, has one as a pet. Komiyan the Third, one of the male side character, uses one as a mount. Both main characters find Komiyan annoying.
The Phoenix Down (aka Phoenix Feather) is used to save the life of Hotaru's Piikey.
One of the GMs (Game Masters) loves to organize events. One of those, I faintly remember being a race involving swimming.

I should note however that not all players could freely log out, players killed by certain monsters were stuck in the game while they real world bodies were in comas (though this was in the anime version. i am unsure about the manga version)

@Memor-X. It happens in the manga too, but I think the problem lies with the players being in a coma rather than artificially kept from logging out, also I chose not to mention it, since it's a bit of a spoiler.

What do we know about Shirou's biological ancestors? (not Kiritsugu)
What do we know about Shirou's biological parents/grandparents/etc.? Do we even know anything at all?
This is relevant to e.g. understanding why Shirou can perform magecraft despite presumably having had non-mage parents. (Also, it's just kind of weird that he seems to never say anything about them. He was certainly old enough to remember them when they died in the fire at the end of the fourth grail war.)

i don't think there's anything out about them apart from the fact they died as a result of how the 4th war ended. we don't even know Shirou's original surname. given that Rin was surprised that Shirou was a Magus that would mean one of 2 things. 1) Shirou's original family weren't Magi or 2) they were Magi but never ran a workshop though they may have even been illegal if Magus Families are required to present themselves to the Second Owner regardless if they set up a workshop or not (with the exception to when participating in the Holy Grail War)

This always confused me; I assumed Shirou's parents weren't magi but he was able to learn some magic from Kiritsugu. Looking at Waver Velvet's backstory it seems like it's possible for non-magi to become magi, with the family's power increasing as it becomes older. Maybe Shirou is a case like Waver Velvet's grandmother, who was a non-magus but learned some basic magic and established a bloodline.

@Torisuda that would make a lot of sense since the greater families like the Tohsaka would have to have started somewhere

In the Prisma Illya storyline we learn some things about his family, at least insofar as one of the characters is his sister (in an alternate reality).  I didn't delve into that manga far enough to know if there is anything beyond that; I don't know if it has been definitively stated if they're biologically related or not, in fact.  Plus, its factual relation to the FSN universe is questionable at best.

hmmm . . . maybe his family become victim when Kiritsugu bombing the hotel where Lancer`s Master live.

The identity of Shirou's biological family was never revealed in the game, the anime or the manga of Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay Night.
The only thing you know about them is that they died because of the end of the 4th Holy Grail War.
As for the reason why Shirou can perform magecraft, It is caused by the sheath of Excalibur : Avalon, which have been implanted in Shirou's body by Kiritsugu. Even though it is not clearly explained.

"Shirou can perform magecraft, it is caused by the sheath of Excalibur: Avalon." Please elaborate on what brought you to this conclusion.

To answer your first question,
 What do we know about Shirou's biological parents/grandparents/etc.? Do we even know anything at all?
I would like to say that there has been no information released regarding it in the anime/manga/visual novel/games/wikia site. However, there is this piece of information on the wikia site.

Ten years before the start of Fate/stay night, Shirou was an ordinary boy living with his parents in Shinto. The great fire caused by the contents of the Holy Grail spilling out at the end of the Fourth Holy Grail War killed both his parents and left him mortally wounded within the blaze.

Therefore, we do know that his biological parents died during the Fourth Holy Grail War.
To answer your second question,
Understanding why Shirou can perform magecraft despite presumably having had non-mage parents.
Again, the wikia site states that

Shirou persistently asked Kiritsugu to teach him Magecraft. Kiritsugu eventually complied even though he disapproved of Shirou's desire to learn his craft.

That is why Shirou Emiya can perform magecraft.
To answer your third question,
He seems to never say anything about his parents.
All I can say that there is no definitive answer to this question owing to the fact that there is no reference to this in any of the aforementioned media.

As revealed during Epic of Remnant within Fate/Grand Order (An alternate timeline), Pseudo-Servant Sengo Muramasa uses the body of Shirou Emiya as they are compatible. Muramasa later states that there is a possibility of Shirou being his descendant.

Ok, really? One, Shirou doesn't remember anything before the fire. The fire literally distorted him, making his mind inhuman enough to house a Reality Marble, and because of his survivors guilt as that happened and his awe at the person that saved him like a hero, heroism was practically imbedded in his soul. Distortion is akin to becoming Eldritch to a small extent. It's not normal and he lost his memories in that blaze.
Two, he can perform magecraft because he was born with Circuits. However, the reason Avalon is the reason he can use magecraft is because Kiritsugu half-assed his teaching and he did it wrong, turning his nerves into makeshift, temporary magic circuits everytime he used magecraft instead of using his actual circuits. This usually crippled people but avalon healed that damage and allowed him to practise the almost suicidal method of magecraft. Rin awakened his actual circuits during the war.
The reason why he had circuits, the background of his family, name or true age, no one really knows. And why would Shirou talk about something he doesn't remember and holds no attachment too because he doesn't? Besides his one-tracked mind towards self-sacrifice that stops him ever caring about himself that is.

Reading this answer, it seems to rely mostly on opinion rather than facts. Try to include sources to support your claims and remove unnecessary sentences. Answers should be straight to the point and the additional explanations should be relevant.

Anime about boy who can accelerate objects; also meets girl with wooden katana
It's about a boy with a supernatural power. He discovered his power when he was attacked by a black monster. As he threw a can towards the black monster, his power was activated, and a circle figure formed in front of him, which accelerated the can as it passed through and killed the monster. He also met a girl with a wooden katana who had the same power as him.

Pretty sure you're thinking of Gate Keepers.

It is Tokyo, 1969. Earth is under the attack of the "Invaders." Fortunately, though, the public is unaware of this. But to the secret orginazation, A.E.G.I.S., the threat is very real, and it is up them to stop this invasion. One day on his route to high school, Ukiya Shun observes a battle between a young girl and a group of Invaders. He ends up helping her and discovers that much like the girl, he possesses the ability to generate a "gate" of special power that only a few other people are gifted with. As a result, Ukiya then joins A.E.G.I.S. in an effort to recruit other Gate Keepers in order to protect the city, all while doing his best not to imitate his late father, whom he dispises.

The main character boy was trying to defeat the black iron ball monster attacking his house by throwing a can at it. He is the one with the wooden katana (Special Bokken Sword). The main girl uses a bow to fight.

Can you please expand on this answer by providing a short description about the series and how it matches to what has been asked in the Question (ie. which scene has the can accelerating though a circle and killing the monster, who is the girl with the wooden katana)

Next time, your answer should look something like the edit (synopsis is usually optional) instead of a one-liner containing only the name of the series, which is about as incomplete as a link-only answer (a reason for deletion).

Who is Hanazawa Hanako?
I was rewatching the first season of Oregairu the other day, and something caught my eye on the list of contacts on Hachiman's phone (which we see in episode 5, after Yui adds herself as a contact).

The list here is:

Komachi
Grandpa's
Home
Soubu High School
Takatsu Dentistry
Dad
Barbershop
Hanazawa Hanako (花沢華子)
Mom
✨✨Yui✨✨

So we have Hachiman's relatives; places he goes (school, dentist, barber); and now Yui. But who is Hanazawa Hanako? That's a girl's name - but why would Hachiman have a girl's number in his phone?

Scanned through Japanese Wikipedia. Can't find her name listed in the list of characters, so I guess she is not someone crucial to the plot (for now). This is also discovered by several Japanese blog posts, though I can't find any answer as to who she is.

Hikigaya asked for a girl's phone number in middle school, as mentioned in his flashback at 6:30 - 7:00 in episode 4. The number probably belongs to her, though he left her anonymous in his story in the anime (I haven't read the early volumes of the LN's). There's no Hanazawa Hanako in Volumes 7-10. For now, she remains in the back-burner of possible characters.

But keep in mind that (at least at one point) Hachiman had the phone numbers of multiple girls in his phone: he told that one story about how when he texted a number of them back in middle school, 40% replied the next morning saying "sorry I was asleep" or something; 30% ignored him altogether; and the remaining 30% got him a response from "a foreigner named 'Mailer Daemon'" (god that was hilarious). It could just be one of the girls from middle school, I guess, though the question then is of course, which one?

Who is the voice actor of Scissor Runner in Fairy Tail?
Does anyone recognise the voice of the ancient dragon called Scissor Runner?
I'm pretty sure I've heard it before but I can't seem to find any information on that matter, except for one person saying it is Kamikawa Takaya, but in comparison they sound very different to me.
I continued searching and this is what I additionally came up with:
I know only some french words but as far as I understand it, the person here asks the same question like me and someone suggests Ikeda Shuuichi.
While my personal theory, after comparing several voices, is: it's the same voice as Laxus. Konishi Katsuyuki.
Unfortunately still all of them are mere guesses.

I also think it's Katsuyuki Konishi (i.e. Laxus). I've always been very adept at recognizing voices and the first moment Scissor Runner spoke, I knew it was him.
There is absolutely no way it's Takaya Kamikawa. Anime crews always "recycle" their voice actors - when they need a bit part or 1-2 episode character (like Scissor Runner) voiced, they use someone who's already been in the series.
Scissor Runner and Levia, for example, are Laxus and Bickslow; Atlas Flame is Byro, Byro Cracy and Jose Porla; Motherglare has 13 other roles (including Alzack); Rock Dragon has 9 other roles (including Droy); while Zirconis is also Arcadios and Capricorn.

Any sources to go along with these statements?

Although not officially confirmed, the rumour on MAL is that it's Takaya Kamikawa.
He's mostly known from the voice of Anti-Spiral in Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann.

That is pretty much the only thing that shows up using google and it is just one persons guess. I compared them already and honestly I think they are very different. Sorry I didn't mention that before.

In Unlimited Blade Works, why did Caster try to kill Shirou when she hadn't retrieved his Command Seals yet?
I've been watching the UBW series. When Caster abducts Shirou to take his Command Seals so she can use Saber against Berserker, Archer comes in and saves him - then fights Caster.
At some point during the fight, Caster sees Shirou unprotected, so she fires at him (at which point Archer saves him again).

Why did Caster shoot Shirou, if she hadn't retrieved his Command Seals yet?
It's not like Shirou was any sort of threat. Surely dealing with Archer first would be a better idea, then retrieve the Command Seals off Shirou (since he's no match against Caster) to be able to fight Berserker using Saber.
Caster was definitely aiming to kill - other than the fact that her attacks literally blow up the ground, she was also smiling (as in, "gotcha!"), and then was surprised to see Shirou still alive.

This seems to be different from the Visual Novel. in the Visual Novel Caster stabs Saber with Rule Breaker and it breaks the contract between her and Shirou while granting Caster a set of command spells (see my answer here at the bottom) thus Shirou is not a master and doesn't have any command spells. as i haven't seen Unfotable's adaption of Unlimited Blade Works i don't know exactly how the first attack on Caster plays out may be different from the Visual Novel

This answer is based purely on speculation.
However, I believe that there is one reason for Caster to do that, and one reason why that is probably not a big deal to her.

First, Archer was called there in order to save Shirou from Caster. Targeting Shirou would force Archer to move in order to protect him. That kind of tactic is also shown in Episode 15 when

 Near the end of the fight, Gilgamesh targeted Ilya to force Berserker to backtrack and protect her.

Second, even if Shirou had been hit, she would probably still have been able to extract his Command Seals. (Note that she only makes one magical shot on Shirou's location)

The scene happens a bit differently in the VN. In it, the relative locations of Shirou, Caster and Archer are less clear - the only clear things are that Shirou is in the line of fire, and Archer has to backtrack from the temple's exit to reach Shirou. In particular, it is hard to tell whether Caster specifically targeted Shirou or if she was just shooting at the area.

Extraction of the command seals after death is a definite possibility.  We know that at some point after a master's death or a war's termination, any remaining command seals are recycled by the Greater Grail and are given to the overseer, or a new master if a suitable one is found and the war is ongoing.  The latter was the case with Kirei in Fate/Zero.  We also know that Kirei can transfer those seals to himself, and that he also killed Bazette and took control of her servant and seals after that.

For the first point, Caster seemed surprised that Shirou survived (so she probably wasn't expecting Archer to save him). And the second point, that sounds plausible. However, the explosion could have destroyed Shirou's arm (in Fate Zero when Sola Ui loses her arm, the command seal is lost).

A manga about an emotive android fighter girl with black hair
I believe this manga is relatively old, probably from the '90s. I don't recall there being an anime adaptation of it.
At the beginning of the story, a man found the partially destroyed head of an android with the brain still intact. He used parts from other androids he had found to reconstruct her. Her first limbs were delicate and were decorated with flower designs, I think. If I remember correctly, they were destroyed when she took on a powerful android. The man used this android's parts to create strong, sturdy limbs for the android girl.
The girl was cheerful and very expressive despite being an android. She was probably in her "teens," had shoulder-length black hair and was drawn with large, emotive eyes. The man was older, and I think he was a scientist or researcher, as well as a fighter. The other androids that appeared were drawn in great detail, and I think there was some detailed gore.
The last thing I remember is that they were in a bar, and there was a giant android head/snake-like thing that was attacking them.

how old is: relatively old? Can you remember details about the drawing style? Any detail can help ;)

Yup, this sounds exactly like Battle Angel Alita, aka Gunnm.

FYI, there was an anime, from 1993: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107061/  One of the first I watched after Akira.

Perhaps you're looking for Battle Angel Alita/Gunnm

The series is set in the post-apocalyptic future and focuses on Alita, a cyborg who has lost all memories and is found in a garbage heap by a cybernetics doctor who rebuilds and takes care of her. She discovers that there is one thing she remembers, the legendary cyborg martial art Panzer Kunst, which leads to her becoming a Hunter Warrior or bounty hunter. The story traces Alita's attempts to rediscover her past and the characters whose lives she impacts on her journey.

Thanks so much! Battle Angel Alita is the series I was thinking of.

Anime about a girl found by the lead character in the ruins in the sky who attracted a monster to a village inhabited by spirits
I stumbled across a really interesting anime which starts out with two young men exploring the ruins floating in the sky, looking for relics of the ancient heroes. They stumbled across a girl who passed out and, when she woke up, refused to tell them who she was.
They brought her back to the village, only to be explained that she couldn't see the lead character's friend or any of the villagers as they were "spirits", and the lead character was only able to see them because, having grown up there, he has become accustomed to their "presence".
The girl ended up attracting a monster, which broke through the barrier protecting the village, forcing the villagers to defend themselves.
That's as much as I can remember, unfortunately. Hopefully this is enough information.

I can't find the name of this anime with a witch whose only weakness was bleeding
I watched it around 2009 but I can still remember lots of details.

It involved a young boy, an older guy (a knight I think) and a girl going on a quest to find these stones/gems/whatever.
The girl had a small pet... puffball thing, and a raven.
There was a witch, sorceress something-or-other, and at one point the raven pecked her. Making her bleed was her only weakness, and so she died from that.
There was an episode where they met a giant guarding a bridge, and he told them a riddle: "Tell me the truth, and I will kill you with my sword, tell me a lie and I will kill you with my bare hands". The boy said "you will kill me with your hands", which caused a paradox thing (If that was true, he would kill him with his sword, but then it would be a lie, so he would... yeah, you get the idea.)

That's all I can remember.

It could be Deltora quest:

The Shadow Lord, an evil sorcerer and The Lord of Shadows which comes from The Shadowlands, has taken over Deltora by destroying a magical object known as The Belt of Deltora, which is Deltora's only protection against him. Throughout the course of the anime, Lief, Barda and Jasmine travel around the land of Deltora to return the seven gem of the initials of which combine to form DELTORA, hence the name Deltora Quest, to the belt and save the land. Their first destination is the Forests of Silence.

The three characters are:

Lief: At the start of the series, Lief is the son of a blacksmith who lives in the run down city of Del. He is (as Barda describes him) 'A young hot-head' and spends his time roaming the streets and both tempting and dodging trouble. On his 16th birthday he leaves Del on his father's quest to find the magical gems missing from the belt of Deltora and the heir destined to wear it. [...]

Barda: At the start of the series Barda appears to be a poor beggar living on the streets of Del. He is revealed to be an ex-palace guard who assumes the role of protector to Lief, much to both his and Lief's dismay. He is a skilled swordsman and frequently makes jokes about being stuck with two young hot-heads- Lief and Jasmine. [...]

Jasmine: At the start of the series Jasmine is a wild orphan girl who lives a solitary life in the dangerous Forests of Silence. She has messy coal black hair which frames her elfin like face and emerald green eyes. She is often described as impatient and lonely but with a good heart. Her only friends in the Forests are the raven named Kree and a small furry animal called Filli. Jasmine understands the language of trees and many other animals. [...]

They met the giant guarding a bridge (see picture below)  in Episode 4. The guard asked each person a riddle, and allowed only the ones who solved their riddles to cross the bridge. The paradoxical riddle was given to Lief after he failed to answer the riddle given to him.

The scene with the raven pecking the sorceress (see picture below) happens in Episode 7.

Oh my... I read the books back when I was a kid... If only I'd known there was an anime =)

Anime with a prince and a servant chased by zombies who meet an immortal woman
I watched an anime show a while back on Crackle, but I can't remember the name. It's not there anymore but I really enjoyed it.
It started out with a teenage prince and his servant running through the woods being chased by zombie like creatures. They came across a house where a beautiful woman lived and asked for shelter. They both fell in love with her. Then, they found out that she was an immortal, and a group of assassins were after her blood. She turned the prince into an immortal as well. When he woke up 1000 years in the future, he couldn't remember anything, but he went on a search for her.

A guess can  be Kurozuka...

That is correct thank you. I knew her name started with a K and I couldn't remember. I'm glad it was answered so quickly thank you.

I'll put it as an answer for further reference then...

Thank you. I appreciate the grammar reconfiguration as well.

Okay, I believe we have begun to understand that the constant revisions are unnecessary

It is Kurozuka:

The series begins in 12th century Japan and centers on Kuro, a character based loosely on the legendary Japanese swordsman Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Kuro and his servant, Benkei, meet a beautiful and mysterious woman named Kuromitsu while on the run from Kuro's elder brother, who seeks his life. Kuromitsu and Kuro fall in love, but he soon discovers that she harbors a terrible secret: she is a vampiric immortal. Following an attack by his pursuers, Kuro is badly injured and must imbibe Kuromitsu's blood to save his own life. Kuro is then betrayed and attacked by Benkei, who has been subverted by a shadowy organization called the Red Army, and Kuro's head is severed, which interferes with his transformation into a fully immortal being.

A manga about a girl who works in a flower shop, lover has private beach house and gives her his earring
I know bits of it but I still have no luck in finding it!
It starts off with a girl who works at a flower shop. She sees a boy and he immediately makes her his lover. (I think he was a demon).
In one of the chapters, the boy is going back to his home so he can finish his work. He takes her to his private beach house, where he makes love to the girl and she allows it. The next day, they get dressed and he notices how much he changed her. When they get to the airport, he gives her his earring he always wears and tells her that he will come back for her, then he kisses her and leaves.

Could it be Kiss/Hug?
The girls works in a flower shop that belongs to the family. The scene you're describing resembles one of the last few chapters where he has to go to England for some work he does.
Synopsis

Ryuu, a super-business-like transfer student from England with black hair and blue eyes just arrived! During the night of the Tanabata festival, Ryuu and Yukino became attracted to each other at first sight. He then declares, "You will be mine!" This brought confusion to Yukino, who has zero experience in love. But could she actually be falling in love?

An anime from the 70's or 80's which had a scene of a large guy gunning down teddy bears
The anime was from the 1970's or the very early 1980's. I really don't have much to go on, I'm afraid, but it was Sci-Fi, and I'm pretty sure it had robots in it as well as humanoid characters. They were on a journey/quest, and, this may be the best clue, there was a disturbing scene (remember, I was young!) where a large guy with a beard or mustache was gunning down teddy bears (or cute bears of some kind) in a room with what looked like an M60 machine gun.
This has been driving me NUTS! Please, if anyone can help, I would really appreciate it. :)

The only thing I can think of offhand is Pierrot le Fou from Cowboy Bebop, who shoots up stuffed cats, but that show's from 1998...

It's Space Firebird 2772 (1980). That scene made a big impression on me as a kid too! Great movie, worth re-watching as an adult.
The scene is around 15 minutes into the movie:

Could you post a screenshot or indicate the time of the gunning down teddy bears scene? I couldn't seem to find it in Space Firebird 2772.

The English clip of that bit of the film doesn't seem to be working on YouTube, it's around 15 mins in, you can see it in German here http://youtu.be/2XPQnkTKVBw

@STP: might you elaborate on your answer and give a few more reasons why you think this is what the OP is looking for?

Early 80s? Check.
Sci Fi? Check.
Robots/humanoids? Check.
Journey/quest? Check.
Exact scene OP described? Yep, that's there too.
What is it with you guys? At this stage I've posted a link to the whole movie so the OP can see if I'm right when he comes back on here. You know I just chanced upon the question and thought I'd help the guy out since I know the answer. Go watch the film.

@STP Links don't count for anything here on Stack Exchange. Links go dead all the time. Maroon is just asking that you edit your answer to include additional facts that will help collaborate it, like those you mentioned in your comment. Remember your answer is meant to help not just original poster but anyone else with a similar question.

No, my answer was intended only to answer the original, very specific question asked. That was my intention. The OP wanted to know what the movie was, I recognised it from his description and supplied him with the name. Should he see my first post he will find either that his question has been answered correctly, or that I am wrong (I'm not). The name of the film is sufficient information for him to do so.
No corroboration (not collaboration) was necessary. If you or anyone else is in doubt as to the validity of my claim, I suggest you investigate it yourselves and prove me wrong.

Oh My God!! @STP, you have seriously made my day, and gone above and beyond the call of duty :)  I cannot begin to tell you how grateful I am for the answer. As far as corroboration, let me assure you guys that he has hit the nail on the head. I never hoped that someone could identify it from my somewhat vague question, but he really has got it in one!  Thanks everyone for taking the time, I really appreciate it.

More than welcome mate!

@STP You're misunderstanding the purpose of the site. Good answers help more than just person asking the question, and so good answers shouldn't restrict themselves to just the bare minimum necessary to satisfy the original poster. That's why links aren't valued much, once they go dead it can't help anyone else.

I don't misunderstand, I just don't care. This is not school; There's no obligation to show the workings of my answer. The guy who asked the question is happy and whether or not some geeks who didn't ask the question nor know the answer consider my answer a good one is irrelevant.
Did you ask the question? No. Did you know the answer? No. So what has any of this got to do with you? Nothing at all. As it stands the question and answer, without links, would be useful for someone looking for the same movie but regardless of this, some of you nerds need to get a life.

Anime about a little girl who lives in a cabin by herself in the middle of the forest/woods
I remember watching it in the early 2000s. The style was unique. It barely had any dialogue (the girl doesn't speak at all since she is little), only narration since I think it was a kid show. I think her grandma/parents who raised her in the cabin passed away, so she lived by herself and was really young. She would go outside with a hat on and find stuff like water, and explored many areas in the forest. I remember a scene where something was shaken and a snake appeared. And the narration told us that she was afraid of snakes so she stood very still until it moved away. I think later on, in the next episode or so, she met new friends and they were all little girls. I also think it was an OVA? I really want to see it again.

This sounds a lot like Binchou-tan, though it looks like a children's show, there's some pretty heavy moments in the show.

She lives in a cabin out in the forest by herself. It's hinted at that she used to live in the cabin with her grandparents and they've died (she visits a tree like it's a grave). She also wears a piece of charcoal on her head, that's sort of a play on words with her name (binchou=charcoal). I think in the very first episode, she encounters the snake. Although she does speak, a lot of the anime is narrated by a woman. Every once in a while, a bunch of her friends (all girls, sometimes animals) come to visit her, but for the most part, she is completely alone.
It's about 12 episodes long at about 12 minutes per episode and was adapted from a 4-koma manga.

Where is this gif of a girl turning into stone(?) and breaking apart from
I'm trying to find the title for this pic because I'm interested in watching it. If only I knew what it's called...

Reverse image search doesn't give any obvious results for me. From the coloring and animation I'd guess it's at least 10 years old, probably more. Where did you find it? Were there for example any tags at your source, that might help us identifying the anime?

I know, i've used reverse image too but no clue... the only think i've got is the link... (https://38.media.tumblr.com/f790161dced038bb8ae1db628d571997/tumblr_naj3dfu8JP1tq2uhdo1_500.gif)

I'm not completely sure, but I think this is from one of the episodes towards the end of Haibane Renmei, where Reki, who is the character here

 finally is forced to confront her problems.

Off the top of my head, I don't remember the episode number. I'll try to look in the Haibane Renmei tag or the one for Reki on Tumblr to double-check this, since I think I've seen something like this there before.
The series is based off of some doujinshi by Yoshitoshi ABe, and follows the progress of a character named Rakka once she comes to an enclosed town and finds that she is one of the Haibane, who have grey wings and a disk on their heads.
Update: Wikipedia's episode list suggests that this is from the final episode (13), where

 [Reki] throws Rakka out of her studio, confronts a crumbling stone manifestation of herself, and relives her dream.

Rewatching the episode on YouTube (beware of spoilers - this is the last episode), the build-up to the scene begins at around 4:50, the actual scene starts slightly after 13:15.

An anime in which people/androids are turned into pills which everyone takes instead of eating
All I remember is watching an anime early in the morning on Sci-Fi channel.
I remember a scene of a young boy with a gun in a futuristic setting. He was watching a large conveyor belt with old androids and/or humans being dumped into a machine which turns them into supplement pills that everyone takes instead of eating.
It could have been a movie or an OVA, I'm not sure. Also, I am not sure when it aired on Sci-Fi, but it had to be anywhere from 2000-2006 and it was in English.

Sounds like it could be one of those bizarre OVAs from the boom era like "Psychic Wars", "Venus Wars", "Vampire Wars", etc. Can't recall this particular scene, though.

Bizarre is a bit of an understatement, I dropped in just to ask "the f**k?".

Reminds me a bit of kaiba.

I believe if seen something similar, where you could be upper class human, or lower class human. And you had to work your *ss of to earn i believe some sort of stamp. And the humans that did not work hard enough got turned into food pills to keep the other people alive

Supplement info on my previous comment. Acording to my colleague this scenario reminds him of a music video from a long time ago. With gorrilaz like animations.

Galaxy Express 999 Adieu.
The conveyor belt is bright purple and covered with rows of bodies of non-robotic people, going towards a bright white light. The boy with the gun, Tetsuro, stands watching the process with 3 of his traveling party, as the bodies are processed. They are dropped through what looks like lines of electricity and a white orb is extracted which is contained in a tiny pill that is essentially robot food. It is referred to as the flame of life. – This link is bad quality but is on the scene. https://youtu.be/RI-b9_o3nSk?t=5523

@Dimitri mx I don't know if its the one you were thinking of, still have to watch it again. Been looking for it for 5 years, found using the "human resource" trope http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HumanResources

Can give a brief description of the scene you think the OP is referring to?

A children's anime with a professor and a polar bear
I'm looking for a comedy anime for children with a professor/inventor who has an polar bear as friend. The polar bear can walk on two legs and can perfectly speak and talk with humans, and he is also very crazy and stupid (similar to Spongebob or Goofy). The anime and the episodes have a crazy made-for-children plot [1], similar to Dr. Slump or Chiisana Obake Acchi, Kocchi, Socchi. The drawing style is also similar to those animes.
[1] The "regular" plot among the episodes is: the professor always invents strange/crazy and funny inventions, and his crazy and stupid polar bear friend always destroys them (similar to "Dexter's Laboratory", where Dexter always comes up with some invention just to be destroyed by his stupid sister). Then the professor gets angry as always.
Other characters in this anime are a nice young blond woman, an nasty old brown-haired woman with glasses.
Another detail which maybe helpful is that I watched this anime in the late '90s in Germany.

Sounds a lot like Cubitus (a.k.a. Wowser). It features an inventor who has a huge white dog (some people mistake him for a polar bear).

@Andruseto - Yes he is. It was one of my favorite shows as a kid. All my siblings thought he was a polar bear, but in the anime they explicitly call him a dog.

Manga where a guy, whose girlfriend passed away/dumped him, is left to take care of a little girl and starts getting too attached
I remember the girl being a quiet 6-7 year old who was clingy and highly reliant on the guy.
the girl looked exactly like the guy's ex who either died or left him years ago which is why the guy was so attached to the little kid.
It wasn't a comedy manga by any means, it was more like a slice of life or psychological themed story.
As far as I had read, there wasn't anything sexual or physical between the guy and the little girl (wasn't a loli manga) but the two were really close and the guy didn't want to get into a new relationship because he kept thinking about her.
He was raising the little girl as his own child.
The girl kept wanting to look older and more mature so she used to steal make up and high heels to get the guy's attention
That's pretty much all I remember and the manga was a chaptered one so no one-shots

Pretty sure I'm wrong, but Bunny Drop?

Sounds quite a bit like Kodomo no Jikan. That, however, is an infamously skeevy loli manga. (Half the skeevy loli content is for dark psychological drama. Only half, though.)

@MattNordhoff That's the best three-sentence summary of Kodomo no Jikan I've ever seen.

Could it be My Girl?

The guy had a girlfriend who had to travel abroad and she ended up having a kid but didn't tell him, deciding to dump him instead (so as to not burden him with a child). Then she died and the guy ended up taking care of the kid. The little girl is in kindergarten I think, so maybe 5 years old? I can't remember if it was specifically mentioned that the girl looked exactly like her mother, but they're drawn very similarly, and because he is still kind-of in love with his late ex-girlfriend, he decides to take care of the little girl.
There's a total of 44 chapters across 5 volumes. Later in the story, there's a sort-of love interest for the guy, and some drama between the 3 of them.
