Here’s another six screencaps to guess – well, 5 pics and 1 gif:
(Still struggling to complete an entire review, lately and I have a few shows to actually write-up, so I’m a bit behind. December might be the return of the ‘regular review’ schedule… maybe!)

Top left is Gankutsuou. Bottom center is Escaflowne and the bottom right is Casshern Sins.
A lot of people have mentioned the ones I know for the most part. I don’t know about the top middle section, but top right is definitely Claymore I think.
(top, left) GankutsuΕ: The Count of Monte Cristo (top, middle) Venus Wars (top, right) β
(bottom, left) Robot Carnival (bottom, middle) Escaflowne: A Girl in Gaea (bottom, right) Casshern Sins
She’s not a lead character, which makes it harder – but I think I have a clue: To my eye it seems like’s a little bit based on ‘Interview with a Vampire’-era Kirsten Dunst.
OMG! I remember that character from Hellsing now! Wow, I feel so foolish for not recognizing her right away especially since I’ve seen the original series before.

That’s a pretty good guess – it’s definitely got that feel, but I actually snuck in a Claymore image to the last guessing post π
(That one is still monsters hunting monsters, but is a little older – I think it started 5 years earlier.)

Ah, thanks. It was the yellow eyes that made me think of Claymore but very interested to learn what the series actually is π

Yeah, the yellow eyes definitely. I have a clue further below, actually, which might narrow it down π

Nice, all spot on except for ‘Robot Carnival’ (good guess too) – that one’s actually ‘AD Police’.

Oof! Thanks for the correction, I haven’t seen AD Police yet, so my second guess was going to be Parasite Dolls. π

The character on the top right looks really familiar, but I’m having trouble recalling where they’re from…

Yeah, Helena – not a main role but a memorable one, huh? Taking it easy in a private library like that sounds pretty good too π

That’s right. I could certainly use my own private library and chill out in it. Haha!
