Help me name this anime!

[Kuya]

Okay bare with me! I think the plot involved some form of object and a prophecy, and i recall something about people not caring an entire city was destroyed because it was foretold and the outcome of said prophecy was positive or something. I think i recall that its animation seemed similar to tales of the abyss and and it also somewhat reminded me of scrapped princess.

I hope those were enough hints. :/

This is really going to bother the shit out of me when I open up my job in 5 minutes. This sounds so familiar that it's driving me nuts.

[Qalbert]

I name it Bobby.
some googling gave me three prophecy related ones,
Aquarion
Karas: The Prophecy
Heroic Age.
Dunno if its any of them, but hey, I tried.

[Kuya]

No, it's none of those. Thanks for trying. :/

The Adventures of Slanty McSlanterson and His Giant Robot

one of my favourites

[Kuya]

There were no robots.... i think!

[tyven]

you and i both know that there are ALWAYS robots

[Kuya]

God i really need to figure out what this anime was or it will distract my NY trip.

[tyven]

its probably ninja scroll

Hm, Slayers Revolution had a similar story at least as a subplot, though it wasn't so much a prophecy as it was a sickness.

It's also similar to one of the plots in the Kino no Tabi/Kino's Journey anime that I can think of, though again not the entire plotline.

Escaflowne maybe - did have one of the lead character's city get destroyed early on, but it's sort of mecha as well.

Bounen no Xam'd, again, maybe - not exactly what you were saying, but with pieces of it.

[Okan]

Sounds like all of them to me.

[Kuya]

Well i don't think the city getting destroyed was the plot. I recall seeing it on youtube and then checking the plot on wikipedia. It had mentioned, i suppose as something you see in an episode, that a city is destroyed but nobody cared that it was destroyed because its destruction was foretold, and apparently the future that was foretold was a nirvana or something so the destruction of the city was considered something that had to happen. If i'm not mistaken that was what i remember explained.

Nope, none of these were it. I check the wikipedia page to see if the plot detail explains that same part i remember.

[tyven]

have you tried checking to see if its naruto?

[Kuya]

What's narucho?

[tyven]

its probably the japanimation you are looking for

[Kuya]

Bleh, just figured out it was Tales of the Abyss, which sucks because i heard it sucks. Oh well.

[Isiolia]

No surprise that the animation seemed similar to it then >.>

[Kuya]

Retardedly hilarious.

[tyven]

is that a japanimation of the video games that charismatic loves so much?
