General Questions / Identifying Anime.

I posted this question in the retail section, but I figure I'll try asking again here...

A quick question for those who own the standard edition of the Violet Evergarden Complete Series on blu-ray.

For reference, this link:
https://www.amazon.ca/Violet-Evergarden-Complete-Taichi-Ishidata/dp/B08JF5DJLT/

Does this blu-ray collection include the OVA special - "Surely, Someday, You Will Understand Love" (The one about the opera singer) along with the standard 13 episodes?

No.

Ok, I'm remembering more of the anime movie I was looking for: It's from the late 80's or early 90's, I'm pretty sure. It starts out with a young man and his father, living on a farm on another planet. They have an around-human-sized robot with two wheels instead of legs. They get attacked by one or more alien ships, and have to leave the planet. They go somewhere down a (metal?) hallway, and it breaks to left and right. The shot is above, with the one hallway going down the screen (and diagonal too), with the two other hallways going different ways, which are to two different spacecrafts. The son goes down the hallway going our left, and the father goes to our right. The robot is with them. He starts going to the left, changes his mind, and goes right with the father instead. They're in their ships. The father gets the enemy ships'/ship's attention and is destroyed to help his son get away on his ship, leaving the son to grieve heavily as he gets away.

There's a part later where his passing through a 3D maze, with a 3D grey-spiked ball chasing him.

That's all I remember. Anyone know what it is?

That is the 'Lensman: Secret of the Lens' anime film (released in 1984).

What's the obsession in the western anime community, particularly database websites with spelling anime titles like they're stylised, for example, nobody in the west calls friends "F•R•I•E•N•D•S", yet people insist on calling Anne Happy "Anne Happy♪".

First one that came to mind was Misaka Mikoto from A Certain Magical Index / A Certain Scientific Railgun. There are parts in Railgun where she has a ponytail and wears a cap and shorts. Though I don't remember a scene in which she runs across tv screens and blushes, but it sounds like something she might do. Also Mikoto has light brown hair instead of blonde.
