It definitely was none of those and was definitely on TV. From what I could tell from the little I saw of it, it was pure slice of life, which is rare to see on TV now, and pretty much unheard of back then. Ok I did an assload of looking and found what it was. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kodocha Kodomo no Omocha (Japanese: こどものおもちゃ, lit. Child's Toy), also known as Kodocha for short, is a manga series by Miho Obana. The series was adapted as an OVA by J.C. Staff and released on December 16, 1995 by Shueisha under their Ribon Video label. An anime television series was produced by NAS and TV Tokyo, animated by Studio Gallop, and broadcast on TV Tokyo every Friday from April 5, 1996 to March 27, 1998. In 2002, the manga was published in North America in English by Tokyopop as Kodocha: Sana's Stage. In 2006, Tokyopop lost the license to the manga, leaving it out of print.[2] In 2005, the first half of the anime series was licensed for North American distribution by Funimation Entertainment and has been released on DVD. In 2012, Funimation announced that their Kodocha DVDs will be going out of print.[3] Both the manga and anime have been well received by publications for different media for the character interactions and the comedy. The manga won the 1998 Kodansha Manga Award for shōjo.[4] At the American Anime Awards held in 2007, it was nominated for best comedy anime.[5] The rich girl I remembered was..... Sana Kurata (倉田紗南 Kurata Sana) Voiced by: Chisa Yokoyama (OVA), Shizue Oda (TV series) (Japanese); Laura Bailey (English)[6] Sana is an 11-year-old child star at the beginning of the series. She is an exuberant and cheerful girl. She began sixth grade and is having a hard time at school, because a boy named Akito Hayama is causing chaos in her classroom, and she sets out to stop him and bring peace to her world. However, she soon learns that there is more to Akito than it seems. Her biological mother abandoned her after her birth and was found by Misako who then adopted her. Sana learned this when she is five years old but doesn't say anything until her mother publishes a book about it. After this, she meets her biological mother and half-sister for the first time. While she is energetic and always has a smile on her face, she has a temper and fierce determination. She never backs down from a fight, especially against Akito, who is considered to be her rival, friend, and later on, her lover. Initially, she thought that her manager, Rei, was her boyfriend, but after a fight with her mother, she realizes that she simply loved him in a platonic way. Sana began her acting career at the Komawari Theater Troupe when she was five years old, and now stars in a popular variety program called Child's Toy, and several commercials. During the course of the series, her career flourishes, and she stars in TV dramas and a feature film among other projects. Sana also deals with many ups-and-downs of show business, such as competitive co-stars, rabid fans, zealous paparazzi, false rumors in tabloids, ruthless talent managers who try to poach her, and in the anime, even an imposter. From the beginning of the series, she developed a strong friendship with Akito and gradually falls in love with him but doesn't realize it after he starts dating Fuka. They eventually start dating when they are in middle school. In a 2009 one-shot called Deep Clear, Sana asks for help from a detective.[7] In Deep Clear, Sana is separated from Akito because Akito told her to divorce him if she chooses to have the baby, but she longed to raise the baby with him. They reconcile when their daughter is born. Although they are married, Sana and Akito still argue. The homeless guy she liked was .... Rei Sagami (相模玲 Sagami Rei) Voiced by: Masami Kikuchi (OVA), Ryō Naitō (TV series) (Japanese); John Burgmeier (English) Rei is Sana's manager. After being dumped by his girlfriend, dropping out of college, and his parents' death, he hits rock bottom and becomes a homeless person. While begging on the streets, Sana finds him and brings him home much like she does with stray dogs. Misako decided to keep him around the house, and he has lived there ever since, working as Sana's manager. Sana declares him as her "pimp" after reading a book which included the word, although she does not understand what it really means. In addition, Sana thinks of Rei as her boyfriend. Later, Akito tells Sana that Rei is playing with her, and sees her simply as a little girl wanting to play. Misako also tells Sana that Rei cannot be her boyfriend. This leaves Sana devastated. But after she gets over her heartbreak, Rei remains her manager and her friend. Through out the series, Sana looks up to Rei as a surrogate father as Rei looks up to her as his own child.

You drunk? That's Asuna and Alice.

No I'm thinking it's around 20 years old, maybe from when G4 was airing Crest of the Stars. The anime was more... adult looking than Hayate and the male MC had dark hair I think. If I do a search for "anime young girl makes homeless man her assistant" I get nothing but porn. "little girl reading book forced to suck adult man's cock" It was one of those shows where the little girl talks endlessly about marrying the guy when she grows up. I've never heard a thing about it or seen it mentioned so it's probably obscure and forgettable. It was English dubbed though.

Actually while we're on the topic of old anime we can barely remember.... Does anyone remember an anime where a rich girl.. like 10 years old or so... falls in love with a young homeless man, like 20ish... and makes him her personal assistant or something? I only saw 1 or two episodes of it 20 years ago, I just remember thinking wow... this is weird as hell. I can find no evidence that this anime ever existed from trying to search it since I have only the vaguest memory of it.

Glad you remembered, never heard of it.

It's watchable and not horrible or anything... but the two words that come to mind when I think of this show are mediocre and forgettable. And this is not a surprise when Black Clover was given an infinity episode run.

I'm not gonna see it, but I think we all knew Jar Jar was not up to this task.

They haven't aired a single show on Isekai quartet yet. Plenty O stuff to air from the past.

Yes you can, follow your dreams. The orgasm was in your heart all along.

No it isn't. I'm starting to think you're intentionally giving bad advice for the sake of comedy. Is that the kind of person you are? For shame.

Nope, more Star Wars! https://www.yahoo.com/news/skywalker-disappoints-374m-debut-weekend-000706385.html It's only doing poorly enough for the franchise to be put on hold... not enough to get a reboot =( Spoilers!

Lol at them trying to hype up the new Star Wars movie with those reviews.

The Neptunia games usually have a shitload of references to Dragonquest in them. At 4:36 it's an almost exact replica of the Dragonquest 2 scene where the princess of Moonbrooke gets the spell that was on her broken. I mean, that's some pretty insane attention to detail. 15:27 to compare

Did his glasses shatter then reform?

Lin Lin is still hot as hell.

Whenever I hear Snek I think

Suriyu is taking down A class heroes with 1 shot... I think he's stronger at this point. But Garou is gaining strength about as fast as Saitama.

So who is stronger right now.... Garou or Suriyu?

They almost had him.

Oh you'll be coming for Saitama soon I'm sure.

I only played the first 2. Jesus christ that second one was hard as hell.
