Since even Mu-chan seems lost (and since this movie isn't even listed on animenfo) I think it may be best to give people the answer: Usagi to kame kesshousen (made in 1952) Sorry if people were going to try guessing, but it seems this is something of an elusive anime. That considered I think posting a different one will be the best thing to do: hacchit na ikitaysuku gruas (Japanese title separated by words)

I think I shall pay another brief visit ^_^ sorry, but I'll be disappearing again after this though! I'm technically not meant to be here now...

Oh noes! I seem to have killed the world!! Sorry, I've not been here in an eternity! Have people just lost interest? or should I split the anagram up into the proper words muddled, rather than the whole thing muddled? I didn't mean to kill the world

I don't think the whole world is dead. ^^;; This bit isn't, but that leaves several continents still to test. Sorry— I had a meeting with my tutor yesterday about experience of being alone (in 'existential phenomenology', not generally), and I brought up the 'last man' scenario from environmental ethics in which you imagine that only one human is left alive, then ask what's morally incumbent on him/her in the absence of other people. My tutor suggested that the last man would just go mad, and started spining out a scenario about making a vague attempt at burying his wife, wandering the streets full of corpses, trying to read a book but getting caught up in the existential absurdity of books nobody else would ever read and languages suddenly devoid of public use, etc. So references to world-death currently provoke strange reactions in me. With which happy thought I shall leave you to your game...

So... any hints about the show? It's a film from the late 80's, released at the same time (and by the same studio) as My Neighbour Totoro. I used the title in English.

Since it's now just a matter of going through the list of their output, I'll put the question out of its misery: Grave of the Fireflies.
Thy eggs, ovular, ram dad. [English title, although about half of it is also in the Japanese title.]
EDIT: Oops... That's a translation of the Japanese title, which is different (but not in respect of every word) from the English title of the OVA. Have a go anyway if you like, or not...
EDIT 2: [Okay, have the Japanese title as well.]
Azure kid? I am reed toy.
EDIT 3: I was sleepless in the early hours of the morning, and managed to work the official English title into something that works as a clue rather than mere nonsense: 'Stark SM gal, or they, dead?' So now you've got all three title forms...

'Stark SM gal, or they, dead?' gives a general hint as to the content, so if that doesn't work you may not have heard of it... The anime is just a four episode OVA from 2004, although it did get a North American release. (I didn't feel like checking the thread backlog to see what had been used before, so I went for a semi-obscure title. I've actually never seen it.) It's based on a longer manga, never officially translated (although there is a fan translation).
I like making anagrams; the reason I don't usually play is that I don't much like unscrambling them.

If that didn't help you (and Alfirin's probably shackled in a lab somewhere), shall I post the answers, or wait longer?
