Old anime 80s-90s

[GregN]

I'm all about this shit..

Cowboy Bebop
Ninja Scroll
Riding Bean
Vampire Hunter D
Fist of the North Star
Ghost in the Shell
Akira

 

[Montatez]

Berserk
G Gundam
Cowboy Bebop
Outlaw Star
Trigun
Fist of the North Star
Hellsing
Ruroni Kenshin
Dragon Ball and Z

And it maybe later but I love Samurai Champloo. Baki the Grappler as well.

Those just off the top of my head.

As for my gateway, it was Robotech, which led to:

Fist of the Northstar
Bubblegum Crisis
Madox O1
Megazone 23 (knew about it from the Robotech movie, which was Megazone 23 with a changed story)
Iczer One
Guyver
Vampire Hunter D
Mobile Suit Gundam (started with movie 1 raw and didn't understand it at all but it felt special somehow)
Macross: Do You Remember Love
Akira
Gundam: Char's Counterattack
3X3 Eyes
Patlabor
Appleseed
Riding Bean

There are a lot more, but those are the most memorable ones coming off the top of my head.

 

[HornheaDD]

Agreed completely!

Im not big on current anime. Ive watched a few episodes of stuff like Bleach and Naruto, and while they are ok I guess, I don't have the energy to watch another 300+ episode run of a show. I just can't. Also, most anime now is drawn with all characters looking really effeminate. I miss stuff like:

Bubblegum Crisis
Akira
Genocyber
Wicked City
Most of Evangelion
Patlabor
Robot Carnival
Harmageddon
Lensman
Green Legend Ran
Fist of the North Star
Appleseed
Guyver
DBZ (and dragon ball, but never really was a fan of dragon ball)
GITS
Gunbuster
Robotech (or Macross if you're a purist)


As far as other new stuff, I haven't finished Attack on Titan yet, and while the first season of Knights of Sidonia was interesting (reminded me a lot of Robotech and the new Battlestar Galactica), the 2nd season got really really "current anime" for me.

vampire princess,slayers and devil hunter yohko haven't been mentioned yet.



oh yeah dagger of kamui is supposed to be good...I haven't watched mine yet despite trying twice.

Roujin Z
Venus Wars

 

[GregN]

Opps, can't forget -

Battle Angel

 

[90s]

I recommend Escaflowne; great fantasy/mecha anime. I remember watching it briefly on Fox back in the day when they had a short lived fad with anime. I bought the actual series years later.

Dagger of Kamui and Blood Reign are both older titles people should check out.

I like what others have mentioned, specially Dragon Ball, Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, and Ninja Scroll, which pretty much got me into anime.

Back then, finding anime in a store or even someone in school to lend you stuff was pretty rare. I paid so much for my Trigun VHS tapes. It was a treat to look at GameFan magazines and read their reviews and look at the pictures.

I find much anime now to be shit. I don't know how kids like this stuff.

 

[Montatez]

O yea Escaflowne forgot about that one! Good anime as well.

 

[LoneSage]

this one just walking on down the anime aisle in blockbuster and later hollywood video

always looking, always wondering

but thinking hmmm, don't wanna waste my rental for the week

so i always got something else

a part of me regrets not renting it

i'm sure i wouldn't like it now.

Dagger of Kamui is awesome. NOTHING like the manga but it's still an excellent film. Directed by Rin Taro, one of the great anime directors of the 80s. Watch the scene when Tenkai's expression changes from rage to peace near the end. It's so subtle but such a masterful bit of animation. Also, a fucking amazing soundtrack for that one. Worth your time.

 

[NGCDFreak]

If you like Ninja scroll check out Sword for Truth.

 

[Taiso]

If we're talking 90s anime, I would be remiss to not mention the anime that gave me my online handle:

Still sends chills through me every time I see it.

If you haven't watched all seven parts of this anime, you are a fucking heathen and you're not invited to my neo gathering until you take it in.

Your choice. Be like Neo Alec or come in the door and be welcomed.

I look forward to watching it.

Forgot Trigun. That was a pretty good one. Another one that's great is Outlaw Star.

I haven't followed new anime since Samurai Champloo. I don't watch the stuff either - just old anime. I would rather spend my time coloring or playing JRPGs.

I watched seven deadly sins and Magi on netflix both are pretty good for new anime.

And of coarse Berserk 2016 is good.

Are you actually referring to Sannpei Shirato's Ninpu Kamui Gaiden manga series from 1965-67 that was partially localized by Eclipse Comics & Viz in '87 as the Legend of Kamui?

My somewhat recent understanding is that the source material for Rin Taro's movie was not one and the same. Rather, a series of historical fiction novels by the late Tetsu Yano served as the basis for the outstanding animated film released in 1985.

Escaflowne and Bubblegum Crisis... Damn man, I forgot all about those. Now I want to rewatch them as well as InuYasha.

So glad I can run into people with a similar love for retro anime. During the summer, I was trying like two movies a week just to find some new favorites or just trying movies/ovas I heard about in the past and never got to watch.
However, Midnight Eye Goku and Genocyber really surprised me. Not to mention the dub for MidnightEye Goku had Steve Blum as the lead voice actor. Before this movie I didn't realize he had been around for that long in the voice acting game.

I also forgot to mention Urotsukidoji: Legend of the Overfiend...I was so glad i had two vcrs & able to record this.

 

[-SD-]

I don't buy much anime on disc, but I absolutely love Escaflowne and couldn't resist the Ultimate Edition box set. It comes out a few days after my birthday, so that'll be my present to myself.

Bubblegum Crisis, Outlaw Star and BeBop are among my favourite series. I remember having the Manga Video VHS tapes of Cyber City Oedo 808, all of Dominion Tank Police, Project A-Ko, the monthly releases of Guyver..... those things used to take up so much damn room.

I find the Patlabor movies a bit boring but the OAVs and TV series are excellent. Same with Ghost in the Shell, I like the films but I prefer Stand Alone Complex.
