There was this anime I watched when I was younger that has been eluding me for
years, I hope somebody can find it.

I can't remember the exact plot or story, but the main character was a female
with long brown hair. Her outfit was almost like a sailor scout's, but this
wasn't sailor moon. The setting was fantasy like, and there was a big emphasis
on traditional playing cards and their suits (Like Hearts, Diamonds, Clubs,
and Spades). There were other female characters who resembled
knights/princesses, but again had the whole suits thing going on.

The beginning of this started with the main character sleeping or relaxing by
a tree on a hill, I remember that distinctly. Two other scenes come to mind,
but that's about it. The next scene I remember from this had two gigantic
chess pieces, a black horse and a white horse, speeding out of control towards
something. This character was trying to stop one of them from the inside and
prevent it from crashing. I remember this pudgy looking villain chasing her,
and some fanservice briefly flashes with them accidentally pulling off her
pants in an attempt to catch them (can't believe I remember that).

Something happens and towards the end the brown-haired main character was
drifting in some purgatory-like place, a void of white, and was presented two
different portals to take. One looked menacing, the other didn't. She ended up
throwing one of those playing cards I mentioned, a card with the diamonds on
it, through one of the portals. Again, there was some symbolism or something
with those cards and suits.

This episode or OVA was on a VHS tape, and I got it possibly 10 years ago. I
recall it being dubbed in English, too. I hope that narrows down the scope of
things, but this is all I remember. In the credit scene, there were various
shots of the other characters, females mostly, and they were ridden with
fanservice, with one princess-looking character in shredded cloths, like she's
been in a battle.

I hope somebody recognizes this, I'd really love to find it again.

question
wild-cardz
Old Anime Series/OVA


That sounds like [Wild Cardz](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wild_Cardz), known
in Japan as "Jaja Uma Quartet". It was an old Central Park Media release. The
dub stars [Apollo Smile](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_Smile) as Coco
Hearts.

As you remember, it began with a scene of the main character, Jo Diamonds, the
brown-haired girl in the center, sleeping on a hill. Most of the OVA involved
her chasing two giant chess pieces that were somehow the key to ultimate
power. Opposing her was some random sexy woman, and this fellow:

Here's a picture of them together. I couldn't find it without the caption.
Just ignore it. Wild Cardz is really awesome.

The other characters on the DVD cover are her allies, Coco Hearts (the blonde
with cat ears), Casa Clubs (the girl with purple hair and dark skin), and
Sunday Spades (the girl with short teal-hair). None of them really did much.

The scene where Jo is floating in a white void happens towards the end after
some kind of big explosion. It happens for basically no reason, like pretty
much everything in this show. At some time after that, Sunday Spades finally
unleashes her true power, which is to make a big explosion and also blow off
all her own clothes and make her hair grow really long. Here's a (NSFW)
picture of that:

If you decide that you want to watch this, you can get the [DVDs from Right
Stuf for $8](http://www.rightstufanime.com/Wild-Cardz-DVD-Hyb). Since it's so
old, there's no legal streams or digital versions, and since it's so bad, I
doubt anyone is going to license rescue it.
