Is there a simulcast listing/schedule somewhere? With tons of shows being simulcasted in many different places, I'm finding it difficult to keep track of what comes out when and where. The information is out there, but it's not collected in any nice and simple listing that I know of.

@Yttrbio

On the Crunchyroll Forums, TheAncientOne provides a pretty organized list of simulcasts in accordance to who is simulcasting what.

It look's like it's currently missing links but Streamsuki is a good resource for streams. New and Old.

Toonzone's forum keeps a list but doesn't separate out currently airing shows.

Alright, lets a play a game of Spot the Character Reference!


Tsubasa from Bakemonogatari
Ritsuko from Idolm@ster
Nodoka from K-ON
Ichika from AnoNatsu


We got Birdy on the far left.


Chiyo-chan
Kyon's Imouto
*UNKNOWN*
Last Order


Predator, Tiger Mask, and then Kinnikuman. I just don't know the little guy.

There doesn't seem to be a common thread linking them all. Joshiraku is a JC Staff show, and so that's what AnoNatsu and Azumanga Daioh have in common, but that's it. It does seem to be sorted by character types though, which explains all the lolis and fighters in their own groups. Going by that, I'd say the first one is "Big Boobs", but I don't have a clue on the second.

Based on the sashes, it looks like they're promoting character types (or being awarded for having a type; I don't have context for this). The first girl promotes megane, the second is yandere, the other two should be obvious.

For the first image, the second person looks like Ritsuko from Idolm@ster and the third looks like Madoka from K-On.

In the second image, the third girl makes me think Rena from Higurashi.

Third image, the last girl should be Last Order from Index.

I can't place the unknown in the fourth image.

Ichika from AnoNatsu on the far right.

Cheated by finding another page making these guesses.
Tsubasa Hanekawa of Bakemonogatari, Ritsuko Akizuki of Idolm@ster, Nodoka Manabe of K-ON. (They're all characters with glasses- blocked by the bars)

but other than this pic, that person didn't do any better than you.

also recognized Last order but Saffire beat me posting while I was searching.

Bah, I should've gotten that.

Based on that post, I probably misread the second girl's sash; I saw "yan" and Rena and jumped to conclusions. That does make guessing the characters harder though, since that's a vague hint...

Awesomesauce, guys!

I totally should've got Tsubasa. I feel dumb now.

I don't think that's Rena. I just did a quick image search and the uniforms are different. Rena's has a pinstripe on the collar, Rena's has an, I don't know what it's called, cleavage cover flap, and the ties are different colors. The girl in my picture also has lipstick on. There's a stripe that goes across her nipple line as well.

whoops, I didn't read all of the blog post I posted.

Yuki Mochizuki of Tomehane, Mari Oda of Toritsu_Mizusho, and the titular character of Miyuki Azusa Satomi from Idol Ace. That link says Miyuki, but (without seeing or reading either) Miyuki is a Mitsuru Adachi character... but so is the character in Idol Ace, but Idol Ace is the Adachi seires published in "Young Sunday" which is what is on the sash, and where the other characters are from -- according to that blog. And lets face it, Adachi's girls almost all look alike.

The missing girl is apparently Main from Cookin' Idol Ai! Mai! Main!

Thinking some more, it seemed like that last guy looked like someone from Doraemon. After looking around I found it's another creation of the same manga-ka team, classic character Paaman. (or Perman as Wiki calls him. (The joke is that he was sidekick to SUperman... later changed to Birdman (for some reason),

That's the good stuff! Thanks Spastic and Saffire.

EDIT: I did catch your correction, Spastic.

Help me find anime.

I saw it in 97/98 and remember only a few things but one scene I remember for sure.

Girl is taking shower and talking with guy sitting in the room nearby. Girl saying that she is one of the princess that have map on their back that appears only under water. Parts of the map are divided between sisters and while she`s talking camera moves and showing how map reveals on her back. This map is very important because it leads to the treasures (or something like that) and someone is hunting for girl to get those treasures.

I am attempting -- with utter failure -- to locate a posting wherein someone posts (in part): "rips out hair." I do not know exactly what the hell it is that I am doing wrong, but I cannot find that posting and now it is driving me mad! The post was made in the context of a discussion about Haibane Renmei, but I do not remember if the title was actually mentioned in the post.

BlindSummy, can you give us a time frame on when this would have been? It would really help in narrowing down the possibilities.


i have seen this anime too and neither i remember the title

all i remember is that it was a blond pilot who had a red diamond and an arabian girl with a green one. They used the diamonds to transform into warriors.

One of the rivals in this show is an undead mummy who died in an early age in a shipwreck or something like that. His mother was the former owner of the green diamond and he wants it back. Also the arabian girl assembles a lot to the mummy's mother

The main villain is a guy who uses the diamond of darkness a pretty strong one who is encountered only by the diamond of light which appears in the last episode when somehow the powers of all the diamonds unify

Lupin III and Space Cobra have the sisters who have a treasure map on their back.
Possibly one of them?
