I don't think that old guy has a clawed hand...

I can't remember... I was thinking of another anime with a girl who wears a turtle necklace.

I was thinking ... Folken.
Attempt 2: Gun X Sword?

Where were you thinking?

Oh... Folken!

GunxSword is the one!

Next clue:
Two friends seek to change Japan by infiltrating the two major groups of people that control Japan. One is in the public eye. The other joins Japan’s more private world.

Using underhanded methods, these two take on the older more established backstabbers, cheats and swindlers who control the system.

Their roles in life are decided by a child’s schoolyard game.

Try Again

No fancy mecha. The characters have normal guns and wear suits and ties.
Hardboiled crime drama with sex, violence, and jazz.

Love Hina!!!

Sometimes I think love is just a biological urge. Other times LOVE seems like a spiritual quality. Love, unlike energy or matter, seems limitless.

Maybe I should re-watch “Love Hina”, I guess I missed something.

Nope

It’s a one-shot OVA from the mid-1990s, based on a Manga series which also inspired a live-action movie.
At one time both the anime (on VHS) and the manga were available in America through Viz, but I think it’s currently out-of-print

Could it be "Sanctuary"?
