Do any anime deal with time travel?
see topic. Time Travel is a topic seen a lot in American programs (Time Trax, Quantum Leap) and movies (Back to the Future trilogy), but I have yet to see any anime that deals with this topic.

Hmm... I was going to say "Of course", but thinking of it, I really can't think of many.
Tenchi Muyo in Love (AKA Tenchi the Movie) involved it for a plot, as did Tenchi the Movie 3

I can think of one. Generator Gawl which is a little known anime. It's just 13 episodes though.
Absence is to love as wind is to a flame. It extinguishes the little, it ignites the great.
Life is a test. It is only a test. Had this been real life you would have have been instructed where to go and what to do.
When i argue with reality I lose.....But only 100% of the time.
Once you've decided on a course of action, only you can finish it. As long as you remember that, there's nothing you can't accomplish.

Well, there's Flint: The Time Detective (time travelers collect Pokemon-like creatures from major historical events) or the old Superbook and Flying House shows (groups of kids witness biblical events firsthand). Technicallt, I guess Inu-Yasha could even be concidered as involving time travel. The question is, what you you expect from a "time travel" story? If you're okay with time travel simply ebing an excuse to put characters in a different setting, then there's a whole lot of anime out there. But if you're talking about temporal paradoxes and drastic changes to the timeline and cool stuff like that, then I honestly can't think of any anime (which is too bad 'cause I really like that sort of thing)
Actually, I take that back. I've heard good things about some of the Urusei Yatsura movies involving time travel, but I haven't actually seen any of them yet.

Rlame of Recca!! Reccas mom sends him to the future. And of course Techi in Love and Generator Gawl. I'd also say Inuyasha. Then manga theres one called Red River. Where this girl is taken back to the time of the Hitthites. Sailor moon also has a charachter who travels back in time.

How about the obvious Inuyasha?
The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

I don't count Inu-Yasha. It's not time travel unless it'dsdone by scientific means.
See, that's the thing. Most anime time travel seems to stumble around that point. (at least, most of the one's I've seen)

If they go to another time somehow weather its done through "mystical means" or scientific its still time travel.
Also in El Hazard there is some time travel as well.

Doesn't Chrono Crusade? :/
Not any of the parts I've read. Chrono is one of the characters.

Well you COULD say that Sailor Moon did. Or, you could just say it was so confusing that it MIGHT have. I'm not really sure which it is, though. 
*waits to be hurt by Kae-kun*
Millenium Actress, in a way, dealt with time travel. It's not typical, "get in a machine and go to another era" time travel, but the story did take place over the span of hundreds of years. Sort of.

Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

You know...I'm not going to give you that pleasure.
She's right, though. The second season of Sailor Moon (Sailormoon R) dealt with Usagi's daughter, Chibiusa, coming back to the present in order to find someone to help save Crystal Tokyo. The Black Moon also come back in time to try and strengthen the hold they have over the city in the future.
Chibiusa shows up in S and SuperS as well, but it really doesn't mean much plotwise except to be used as a comic device occasionally...such as when Chibiusa wants something from Usagi and hugs her and calls her "mom," to which Usagi yells back, "I'm not your mom yet!"

It seems that a lot of anime uses time travel as a plot device, but not as the primary focus of the series. Most of them still don't use the traditional sci-fi type of time travel that most of us are familiar with.
