Hello, I am probably the least qualified person on these boards to recommend anime, but if you don't mind CGI anime, there is an amazing sci-fi movie called "Space Pirate Captain Harlock". It has a great story, nice action sequences including awesome spaceship battles, and the animation is beautiful. I've seen it in 3D and the effects are marvelous, although it is just as great in 2D Just make sure to see it in HD though!

Thank you so much for the reply, Greeneyes! It took me a good part of the day, but I actually managed to find it! "All" I had to do was browse a list of all anime movies & OVAs that came out before 1998 And at one point a stumbled upon a picture and the name Yasha, and I knew that was it! It is a 2-episode OVA called "RG Veda" from 1991...Oh, the relief

Hello folks, I created this account to ask a question that has been bothering me on/off for years now...I hope I'm not posting this in the wrong section! When I was a kid (around mid 90-ies) I watched an anime on VHS that really made an impression. It was a fantasy setting (now I'd say it had a Final Fantasy vibe) and it was about a young girl (in her pre-teens or early teens) who was abandoned and scorned by her mother (who happened to be a queen) and she didn't know why. She had this guardian/protector, who was really badass. He had extremely long, straight black hair and also had a special looking sword. I remember he had a friend too, but can't recall anything else about him. Also the girl had some special powers, I remember at one point when she ended up being alone in some sort of ice caverns (I think), she managed to manifest a glass sword (I believe the blade was transparent, but it might have been very reflective as well). I remember her looking at her reflection at the blade and also using it to deflect some projectiles... One scene in particular has stuck in my mind. There were some sort of festivities and celebrations in a city and there were fireworks. The girl was chasing the fiery bits and pieces in the air and she managed to catch one in her palm, and she was looking at it as it burned away. I thought it looks like a burning rose petal as a kid. And sometime later she managed to find her mother, but her reaction was terrible - she started screaming and looked pretty hateful and terrified of seeing her daughter... And that's it, I don't remember anything else unfortunately Please excuse my hectic thought pocess...Hopefully someone can bring this childhood memory back to me
