A very quick guessing game – mix of older and new, recognise any? 😀

(not happy with the varying sizes/alignments but here they are nevertheless!)

  That’s the one I knew for sure.
  
  Hmm, maybe another is armitage iii?

    Many of the late ’90s shows had a similar aesthetic, but I’m going to guess that another picture is from The Big O.

    There’s very definitely two cyberpunk texts up there and the pic where a character has folded arms reminds me of ‘Armitage III’ as well, but that one is from an OVA based on a video game from 1998.
    
    Not sure if this clue will be very useful, but the game had some similarities to ‘Quake’.

  Yep, spot on 🙂
  
  ‘The Big O’ is a good guess but in terms of the 1990s, it’s a different series if you had the sepia coloured pic in mind?

Two more clues – there’s a 2020 cyberpunk/action series up there and also a film from 2019 with the ‘hook nose’ guy in the shot 😀

  I shouldn’t have not recognized Akudama Drive. That’s a failure on my part.

    Nice!
    Well, I tried to pick a character that wasn’t from the main team in order to make it less recognisable 😀

I meant to come back to this earlier but here are the results:

Akudama Drive
The Daughter of Twenty Faces
Trigun
Goku: Midnight Eye
Sin: The Movie
The Wonderland

(Not sure how the pics are displaying for you but Trigun is the ‘sepia’ shot and the pic with the motorbike is The Daughter of Twenty Faces)
