I think the artwork was similar to that of the cartoon version of the hobbit and LOTR. I can not for the life of me remember the premise, just that there was some sort of war going on. I recall snow and two of the characters. One of the characters was a knight, idk if there was anything inside the armor or not. Then the other character I remember was a girl. The only scene I recall is that the knight was supposed to be bad but helped the good guys until the female character kills him by some sort of vehicle. It was decapitation I believe. Sorry I do not have more details, this has been bugging me for years and years.

What channel was this on? Do you remember?
I don't think it was a t.v. show or ova but a movie I believe. I was thinking maybe it was made by MADHOUSE b/c a lot of their stuff, like Lodoss war, reminds me of it

That was going to be my guess "Lodoss War" (ashram was the bomb imho ) Wouldn't be Demon City Shinjuku or Wicked City would it? I haven't personally seen them but on the Madhouse wiki the plots kinda sound like what you are describing and they fit the time frame.
I also have a question to the thread at large, has anyone seen SPT Layzner? I really enjoyed Armoured Trooper VOTMOS and have heard good things about it. But I have found it's always better to get a lot of general opinions then make a decision. Thanks in advance anyone =o]
^^^^ Thanks for the help, but those 2 can't be it b/c it didn't take place in the modern era. Which is weird b/c I remember some kind of tank vehicle that was super strong.
But anyways I have heard of that show back when I was younger. I tried watching it a year or so ago but the site I watched it on had the link die out or something. From what I saw in the first 2 episodes it looked good, but I refuse to watch any more mecha anime until I finish every gundam series. (except for SD of course)
And I have no idea what to say about that video clip above, it looked like a really weird show lol Were those people dying? I just didn't understand it at all

I've got a theory here which will go hand in hand with a history lesson that I just grabbed from Wikipedia. "Similar to the Hobbit and LotR" is a bit of a mixed bag as The Hobbit and Return of the King were both produced by Rankin/Bass (Same company that made Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Frosty the Snowman, etc) but animated by TopCraft, which more or less went on to become Studio Ghibli. Strong anime roots there, eh? The animated Lord of the Rings movie, however, was made by Ralph Bakshi and was considerably different. Most of his fantasy movies were rotoscoped, which produces a pretty particular style, and LotR was one of those. Your brief plot description brought to mind another of his movies, and although I haven't seen it in a very long time myself, I think the elements you mention all pop up on the WIkipedia plot summary. So without further ado, may I present the 1977 animated classic:

Good job on figuring out it was Wizards, I love the spliced in footage of hitler and the nazi's. =o]
Also Good luck on watching every Gundam show, are you just sticking to UC stories or going in for the whole AU package also? (I would suggest skipping mobile fighter G Gundam it didn't do it for me personally but who knows you might like it) Are you going to watch them in chronological order or by when they where made. And for the love of god please skip G Savour......those who have seen it know how bad it is. =o\

I have already seen almost all of them. UC and the other universes. The only ones I have left to watch are ZZ, which I am on episode 15 of, After War Gundam X, Turn a gundam, and the last episode of Unicorn. I preferred the series that were more militaristic the most
I bought all of Gundam Wing on DVD at Christmas, I've only just got round to watching it.

The glass ninja wrote:I'm watching gunslinger girl. Pretty good so far. I'll probably try claymore or berserk after that.
Anyone else think Gunslinger Girl was a bit... odd? I mean, maybe it's the fact I've hung around with real Italians, but the characters all REALLY seem like Japanese people transplanted to Italy.
Maybe it just sticks out to me more than usual.
