I'm going to guess Peach Girl, but I don't remember snorkeling gear in the show.

None of those answers are correct.

For my next hint, I'll tell you this series is a recent one.

And here's a train.

well i havent taken a guess for a few days so i 'll guess Kami Chu cause the pics resemble the animation style but then again so do a lot of animes :P

From this statement, I can surmise that you have never actually watched Kamichu.

I saw a little bit of the first episode, my friend was watching it as i was headed to class, but i have been meaning to see it.

Gonna guess FMP Fumoffu, but it can't be that.... or is it ?

Unfortunately, it isn't.

For my fourth and final screencap sample, I offer a change of scenery in the form of a modest dwelling.

Soulsword fails at Kamichu

That house reminds me a little bit of the house from Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure, but I don't think that's right.

You know, you could always give us a screenshot with some characters in it :(

I think it's Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien.

Edit: I don't recall the first pic with the snorkel set, but everything else strikes me so familiarly.

Alright guys, I'll be looking over this thread and weeding out some of the more spammy posts. I guess we should have stated the rules more explicitly in the first post; I'll be making some edits to it.

Please, when you make a reply to this thread, make sure it goes beyond mere listing. I know it's hard to conjure up a discussion based on a screencap, but at the very least you could state the reasoning for your answer.

The beach pic reminds me of Chobits.

So...that's my guess.

I'm going to guess Kasimasi because the wall and the gate remind me of Hazumu's house. Also, the style of the door is really similar. Although, I don't recall any snorkle gear in the anime....

Bright colours and suburban setting, not exactly unheard of in anime. But since it's a recent one I'm gonna guess Kamisama Kazoku (although I haven't actually seen any episodes of it.)

This answer is correct. Next spot is yours.

Sweet...

Someone can take my spot because I don't have any pictures handy.

Thank you!

If you've kept up with the series, you'll probably get this.

Gloves + bracelets + glittering = Ah! My Goddess?

I'm sorry, it's not "Ah My Goddess!" because
Hint: This person is episode exclusive!

Wow, how did you mistake that for a glove? The hand is bare :P

Maybe the fact that it's completely white and the nails are not distinguishable from the fingers? I don't know.

All right, pic 2 is another, different hand from the same series:

My guess would be Ergo Proxy. Since it's got something to do with robots.

Sorry, it would not be, since:
Hint: This anime does use robots, but in a weird and non-pivotal way.

Looking at the wind-up hand, I'm going to guess Yume Tsukai.

Yes, Lord Styphon is correct, from the rather prominent scene with the 3rd Dream Catcher in episode 2.
