A certain someone more or less put a challenge out to me, so here's one that should be quite a bit harder than my last one. If you ID the source then you'll understand why it's more significant than it sounds:

We are safe. Is anybody out there?

Eh, sounds a bit too generic to me. Sounds like it could be from any number of disaster titles.

I *think* I know where this is from.

Anime: spoiler[Fafner]

Speaker: spoiler[the Festum]

Addressee: spoiler[Any poor sap who gets assimulated or hears it over a ham radio.]

Additional: spoiler[The "We are safe" part means that I could be wrong. I don't remember hearing those words, but it's been a long time since I saw the series.]

'Fraid not, Tuor. And the wording on this one is specific enough that I'm pretty sure it has only one possible answer.

Hint #1: spoiler[The sender and receiver of this message are not on the same world.]

Ugh, I had intended to post this hint four hours ago. Apologies for the delay!

Hint #2: spoiler[This message (and something that came with it) inspires the series' hero to go on an epic quest to find the sender of the message.]

EDIT: Oops!

Is this spoiler[Takeru of Freedom Project, after finding the photo of a young girl on the moon, with the aforementioned quote written on the back]?

Very good! One of my two remaining clues would have been spoiler[this series has been released on HD-DVD], but apparently I won't need that now.

Tuor, is that what your second thought was?

Cool. I actually only found this title looking for series that Utada Hikaru performed OP/ED themes for, and saw that the characters looked like they were straight out of Akira (Katsuhiro Otomo), so I checked it out. More people should see it.

Sub:

People who believe in God say that God created this world. Thus, they are saying the one who made this world rife with suffering is God. There's no way a God who made this horrible world can be a good person. God is a bad guy, that's for certain.

Sounds oddly familiar, so gut instinct: spoiler[Misaki giving one of her lessons to Sato in Welcome to the NHK]

EDIT: If I guessed right, I pass.

Yes. One of my all-time favorite quotes.

Free turn up for grabs.

I'll take the pass, with a quote that's probably really easy but too awesome not to use:

Character A: “Character B!”
Character B: “Call me Moses.”
Character A: “Huh?”
Character B: “I’m going to part this sea of students!”

Character B's name and context, please!

spoiler[Character B would be Senator Figaro in episode 4 of Valvrave the Liberator, pulling out a machine gun to make the crowd of students disperse so he can escape.]
