🔍LOST MEDIA | THREAD🔎

Posted 3 years, 4 months ago (Edited 1 year, 6 months ago) by BIRD

Have a certain video, tv show, movie, short or game thats on the tip of your tongue, or that youve been trying to find but can’t seem to find any info on it? I’ve been there! If so, this is the thread for you! 


Share your mysteries to others, or help others with finding stuff about that specific media! I’ve always had a huge passion with this type of stuff so I’d love to help if I find anything of use!

can be super recent, can be super old. Can be a YouTube video, or it can be a tv show, movie, or a video game! ANYTHING.


god I’ve been meaning to make a thread like this for a while but I always forget to :( . This thread is heavily inspired by r/tipofmytongue and blameitonjorge (he makes a ton of lost media discovery videos! Go watch em if you’re interested in that stuff, it’s REALLY interesting and well made! Prob one of my favorites so far atm).

Dianxia thats the anime!! >:0!! Im so sad it doesn’t show results thats definitely it ;;!

I guess it was princess tutu all along :0 ty!

And for the manga, it looks cool but that wasn’t it.. I know the main character often wore a gray tanktop I think! And they didn’t have halos, they were like bird people (or even like a modified harpy, some of them) but not an angel :0

SeraBun I think the sixth one is Wolves of the Beyond! I remember reading one of the books when I was in like fourth grade. There was a girl wolf with only one eye, and a scene where these two wolves found their mother doing some weird death dance and she was like "YOU'RE ADOPTED" it got weird

I've been thinking about this one book I read when I was little. It was about this dog named Sam the Lion who was in dog shows (he had a tuft that was super rare or whatever) and got adopted by this family with a poodle who, for whatever reason, just frickin HATED him and so he framed Sam for trying to maul the family's baby and the dad took him out back and pretended to shoot him. Then some other stuff happened and Sam was missing a leg and this guy found him and replaced his leg with a soup ladle or something?? I remember like everything but the name and it's SO ANNOYINGGGG. It might have been a novelization of a movie now that I think of it; if it is I'd love to see the movie because from what I remember the book got RAW at a couple points

SylvaBun

Omg yeah that is it

Yeah it was a really weird series, it reminds me of an unhinged warrior cats >>”

Ty for finding the name again for me!

has anyone read this book where it's like the main character is a (middle school? high school?) girl and her mom keeps painting the walls  and i think her dad or someone close to her dies bc i remember someone  going to the hospital maybe? and like it is pretty centric around her  school life there are bits w her and a friend of hers and for whatever  reason i associate it with hot air balloons but take it with a grain of  salt. realistic fiction, i read it a long time ago it's like a children's novel or something but like 6th grade - middle school i'd say??

Oh my gosh I read that book with the dog who had the tuft of hair when I was a kid and I've been trying to find it forever! I remember really enjoying that book and thinking that it was pretty wild. I still remember when his leg got torn off. Wasn't it done by the poodle?

Edit: I actually think I found it! Its called Flawed Dogs by Berkeley Breathed

Tenalii OH MY GOD YES IT WAS FLAWED DOGS!!! I don't remember how his leg actually got torn off but I do think it had something to do with the poodle! Actually now that I think of it that book got pretty brutal at a couple points; I always thought my weird fascination with edgy stuff came from Warriors but maybe not. This is so COOL I've been trying to remember it for years thank you so much!!

Yeah it did get pretty brutal at some points! I really loved that book though as a kid. I’m glad I found it again! I definitely need to read it again lol

I swear there was this Stickmen Newgrounds game that boomed in popularity from a gameplay from Markiplier way back then before disappearing into the void.

If I remember correctly, it was a game that would start off normal, just a normal stickman on a single platform, and you either had to jump off and die, or get to some sort of portal. As you passed each level, the stickman would change (mainly parodies of pop culture) and the single platform would get harder or something along those lines.

It's been haunting me for two weeks straight.

Hi everyone ive been looking for this Anime for years. Im pretty sure it was on funimation or an anime tv channel either on Charter or AT&T?

All i can mainly remember was there were these super humans. One girl didnt realize she was one of them and had a music box that unlocked her power. I remember she was sad and sung along with the music box and started to glow yellow. 

Apparently these superhumans were sought after by the government or smth as the soldiers/military (they were decked out in gear) got a power surge on their radar and went to confront it. 

I remember this guy who turned into some sort of aquatic shark like creature to fend them off and protect her (or himself i cant remember) and they lost her trace after she finished singing bc the power surge stopped. 

Another memory, (i cant guerantee this is of the same anime or not) this aquatic guy had a few friends and they normally met near a tree. And gifted the girl a ring to symbolize their friendship.


Ive been searching for this anime for SUCH a long time. I will offer art as compensation for anyone who can help me find it

Lost Song?

I haven’t seen it in a few years but it sounds familiar to what you’re saying, somewhat

SeraBun thats not it unfortunately ;-;

catalytic i see at the bottom of your post that someone already suggested jumpstart and you concluded that wasn't it, so i apologize if this is just redundant, but did you look into math blaster specifically? it's owned by jumpstart but it's mostly separate from the main game thus probably easy to miss from a quick google search, so i thought it might be worth bringing up, especially since your description sounded spot on... i played this game religiously for a while lmao

since the website doesn't have much on it, here's a video that showcases some of the other areas and stuff

Lunasun fairly certain it’s this game - https://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/467574 ?
