Looking for this anime

Ive been looking for some years now a pre 2001 anime film or show, shown in the UK.

So the feature had spell cards, nearly like playing cards(could have been scrolls) that had Kanji on. But they would be weaponised as they exploded. Could have been spell cards of some kind. I remember one being thrown from some distance, piercing/stick into a tank like militia and taking it out. On the card/scroll it has Kanji as I said above.

Tried to Google multiple parts as described but had no joy. I know it absolutely was pre 2000s, but could be alot older.

do you remember if it was a comedy or action/serious?

SuperCray32026-01-21 09:27

i think you're thinking about 'Ghost Sweeper Mikami', it was released in the 90s, has the talismans aspect but not sure if it had the tank scene you mentioned. if not, maybe try '3x3 Eyes' and see if that jogs your memory.

It was serious

SuperCray32026-01-21 09:44

check out 3x3 eyes then, or birth/the world of the talismans

Still no joy. You have definitely described the object used (ofuda) but I remember them being used alot more. I think ghost sweeper may be the closest one yet. Thanks for your help <3

Ah wait, just seen your "or" sorry ill check that first

Ok so this is probably a stupid question. Is explosive ofuda common in 80s/90s anime?

SuperCray32026-01-21 10:07

as to my knowledge not really, i think it got more popularized after Naruto was released but that doesn't go to say that animes didn't have that in the 80s/90s, also glad i could help!!

are you talking about ofuda? [https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PaperTalisman](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/PaperTalisman)
