I need help identifying two anime.
The first anime is one I have not seen in a long, long time. When I was little, my dad had a "cartoon tape" that contained various cartoons recorded from who-knows-where. I used to watch it all the time. I distinctly remember one of the cartoons was an anime. The only scene from it I can remember clearly, though, is when a boy in a robot suit and a girl are flying through a glittery hyperspace. I believe the boy had a blaster and was battling some kind of robot. I think it was musical, because I don't remember any dialogue.
The second anime is one I saw in an AMV a friend showed me. Because it was downloaded on her computer, I never got to see the list of anime the clips in it were from. (In fact, I suspect she may have made it herself. She likes to do that sort of thing.) IT used a variety of clips, all of which I recognized--except one! Gah! The one I didn't recognize had a little boy who looked sort of Elizabethan--he had curly blonde hair, and was holding something. He was looking sorrowfully down into a chasm of some kind. The picture looked more like a drawing than a piece of "active" animation. Anybody recognize it?
