Can we have a classic anime general? It's nice to talk about old things every once in a while. Let's try to keep it pre-Eva.
Some questions to get the ball rolling a bit.
What Classic animce have you seen? Which ones would you say are your favourites?
Pic related is one of my favourite classic comedies. I'm also very fond of the second Lupin III series.
My classic anime track record is terrible, my backlog is immense and I make almost no progress through it.
I loved Green Jacket Lupin though.
No one will ever sub The Kabocha Wine

I've seen too much of everything.
I'm the biggest sucker for anything to do with Takahata or Kogawa though. Except Horus which is shit.
>>111667459
Try asking OnDeed. They worked on some pretty obscure OVA series.
>>111666514
I'm interested in Urusei Yatsura for the Oshii parts and the movies. Are they that good?
My favourite retro-anime (I didn't watch a lot) are Maison Ikkoku, Wings of Honneamise, Patlabor 2, City Hunter, Nadia, and Laputa.
>>111666514
>What Classic anime have you seen?
Too many to list.
>Which ones would you say are your favorites?
Space Adventure Cobra, Takarajima, Giant Gorg, Devilman, etc.
>>111668626
The Mamoru Oshii parts really are good. Especially the movies. The first couple seasons of Urusei Yatsura are hot and cold in quality, but it quickly builds into something great. I still think its the best Rumiko Takahashi based work overall, mostly because of Oshii and various other people who helped improve on it.
>>111668837
It's encouraging. I'll watch it soon, thanks.
But even better than Maison Ikkoku? that seems impossible.
>>111667737
So I webm'd it.
The scariest part about this nightmare isthe interlacing.
Seriously though I love the minimalist touch in everything in this show.
>>111666514
As for the OP question
>Which ones would you say are your favourites?
Megazone 23, Giant Gorg, Devilman, Dream Hunter Rem, Dangaioh and Bubblegum Crisis.
Urusei Yatsura was not funny.
Irresponsible Captain Tylor and The Legend of Black Heaven. Weirdest fucking OPs ever, but damn were those some fun shows.
>>111668942
>But even better than Maison Ikkoku? that seems impossible.
It's better but in a different kind of way,Maison it's about a love story,daily life and troubles,here it's just the story of a teenager/young adult dealing with his life and having adventures and oshii decided to make a better story and superior to the original manga(example,Lum from the manga it's more possessive and aggressive and Ataru it's more stubborn and more serious).
Charismatic characters you start to know until they are part of you and this works excellent in drama episodes or comical moments,like when Ataru and Mendou are trap in a vault or when Ataru thinks Lum decided to leave him,the childhood of Sakura,the christmas episode,when they make a movie,Ataru vs Mendou,the one with his mother having the same dream(the movies with oshii are excellent and beautiful dreamer it's one of the best animated movies ever).
The Kazuo run it's also good not so good compared with previous one but it had his moments(like when Lum find a dimension where ataru lost against her and he and his family lost everything,the ghost girl,the cake episode,the girl with the armor).And his movie Lum forever it's really weird and awesome.Also I almost cry with the end in the 5 movie,even when the personality of the main characters it's more the one from the manga.
Anyway maybe it's just me,but I like urusei yatsura a little more that Maison Ikkoku
>>111666514
Ataru: The original perverted, scumbag MC
He didn't have one redeeming feature. Not one.
I like the ones with the robots and the moe moe girls.
>>111666514
>What Classic anime have you seen? Which ones would you say are your favourites?
I almost finish this list,and favorite would be Urusei Yatsura,Lupin III,City Hunter,Future Conan Boy,Space Pirate Captain Harlock.
>>111670932
Future Boy Conan*
>>111670656
>Hating Ataru
Why?He is pretty much a normal teenager in high school
Are there decent releases of Urusei Yatsura, Ranma 1/2 and Maison Ikkoku these days? Since the BDs are all out now, I think.
Except for the UY movies. Why did they of all things not get a BD release? That just seems backwards, with Beautiful Dreamer being one of the most popular parts of the franchise.
>>111670609
>the christmas episode
This was the thing that got me into Urusei Yatsura. Saw it randomly at anime expo back in 1999 and, even though I had already seen some of Urusei Yatsura, it was hilarious just by itself.
And frankly, watching Urusei Yatsura is worth it just because Ataru is what every harem lead should be.
>>111670656
>He didn't have one redeeming feature. Not one.
He had tons of redeeming features. The whole point of his character was he was yin and yang. A super lecherous, perverted and deceitful young guy...but also genuinely honest, open and nice at his core. And he really did love Lum.
He just used all his lewd behavior and outgoing personality to hide his true nature. He's basically a Tsundere male done right.
>>111671179
>This was the thing that got me into Urusei Yatsura.
I though I was the only one who got in the show for the christmas episode,I was watching this show and it was good but lack of something and then I saw that one and damn,I just think this show got really potential to be one of my favorites,and I had a perfect ride with this show.
I also love this show because it remind me a lot of my life when I was in high school,the lazy student,the friends who are pretty much assholes but in the end nice people you can count when you need them,the mother who wants you to make a good living with your life and the father who is there but for some reason it's invisible. Ataru was a pretty cool character,he wasn't beta,it was self-aware,nice guy even when everybody though the other way around and he grows up during the show leaving his crush in Shinobu(who was his true love at least that's what he though)and accepting Lum in his life.
sauuuuuuuuuceeeer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxKhhMdbU5I
Question.The color of the hair of Ataru It's black like in the manga or it's brown like in the anime,I ask this because sometime like in Ranma the anime color becames the canonical one.

>>111671124
They almost made a BD release of BD, but it was scrapped some way through.
Because it wasn't financially sound.
Beautiful Dreamer performed poorly on its initial release in theaters.
>>111674871
>Beautiful Dreamer performed poorly on its initial release in theaters.
Why would they even take that into account, about 3 decades later?

Anyone else seen the most 80s anime movie ever made?

Got some good taste son, shame it gets overshadowed by other things the creator made.
>>111674906
Because they're releasing blu ray releases of movies for sales reasons. I agree its stupid. It would be like not making a Blu Ray remake of Empire of the Sun because it didn't meet expectations back in the 80s. Yet it is a cult success now and recognized as one of Spielberg best movies.
Just like UY Beautiful Dreamer should be recognized as one of Oshii's best movies. it is tied with Porco Rosso and CCS Movie 2 as my favorite anime movie.

It's on my backlog.
Anyway I finished Rose of Versailles not too long ago and damn that last episode was pretty brutal. I heard they wanted to remake it which would look pretty good with today's animation but I loved the 80s hand drawn look and it's all part of it's charm.

Super Dimensional Fortress Macross
Space Runway Ideon
Kimagure Orange Road
Mobile Suit Gundam Zeta(already watched 0079 before you asked and i'm going in production order)

Really nice thread, might add a few of the series mentioned here on my watchlist.
>>111675966
Macross is the best TV anime of the 1980s. Ideon is good if you like boring grimdark shit, same with Zeta. Kimagure is fun but never reaches Macross' level
>>111675966
Watch the five, in whatever order you can.
Macross, Zeta, and KOR should be required watching Ideon is a masterpiece, but it may be "hard" if you're not a Tomino/mecha fan. The serie is merely a prologue to Be Invoked.
Cassern is maybe the least important, but still interesting.
>>111675966
>Super Dimensional Fortress Macross
Watch this.
It's ironic now how good the toei RoV movie teaser looked.
Ideon's sub situation is pretty shitty by the way, only the episodes U-Q has covered are serviceable quality.

Looks like it's SDF Macross then. I have already seen Macross Zero and I know I have fucked up by not watching the series in production order but I thought it would be safe considering it's a prequel.
Sorry guy who wanted me to watch Zeta i'll do that after i'm done with Macross.

Thank god for this thread. I wish I could talk about pre-2000's anime with people. I've been watching a lot of 80's and 90's series the past 8 years because I really don't care for most contemporary series.
I really like Hime-chan's Ribbon, Marmalade Boy, Kaito Saint Tail, Slayers (seasons and OVAs), Legend of Galactic Heroes, Metal Armor Dragonar, and Cat's Eye so far. Wedding Peach, Fancy Lala, Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, and Miracle Girls are next after I'm done.

Pissed that this series isn't fully animated. Lots of adaptations of manga never did like Dai's Grand Adventure or Ushio & Tora.
>>111673967
>>111675060
I don't know why The Wanderers TV series gets so much shit; it's nowhere near the level of the first OVA, but it was really feel-good. We don't get to see too much feel-good anime nowadays.
>>111678367
Man, I thought i was the only one. This is the one series more than any other that needs a full anime conversion.
40 volumes of manga, and all it got was 7 OVA episodes. Yet Blue Seed and Cat Girl Nuku Nuku got full anime...
>>111678367
>>111678704
One day we'll get a full adaptation? Right?It's so weird the dub was directed by the Greg Weismen who made Gargoyles. Even got Keith David to be the drag queen.
>>111675232
I'd say that the pink jacket and red jacket series are neck and neck. Though I tend to go with the latter because Yuji Ohno's music is simply better in it.
The green jacket series is better than both. It just feels less 'tired' and more exciting to watch, even if it's not as wacky.
So, basically, I cannot agree.
just finished nadesico, it was pretty sweet even knowing the big plot twist before hand.

>>111678889
>>111678803
Supposedly, based on the wiki page, they were going to make an anime around the year 2000 after the end of the manga. But quit due to 'new stringent censorship laws were passed in Japan'.
I don't know how reliable the wiki page is though. Plus the fact that anime seemed to get more exaggerated after the year 2000. I don't understand how crap like Mahoromatic, Blood+ or Basilisk would be permitted by the censors, but 3x3 Eyes is 'too extreme'.
I've used BBT almost exclusively for older series with like 1 leacher. My ratio is fucking abysmal pls help
>>111679075

>>111678939
We'll just have to wait for the eventual reboot, it's been nearly 20 years now.

If anything it would have got the same censorship something like Blood C ended up with when it originally aired.

I want to see the fallout of the Jovians and Earthers dealing with each other and the devastation that they caused. The cultural shock that Gekiganger was corrupted for fascism and ethnic cleansing.
Hell, I wanted to see what happened right after episode 26 of the original series. We had to get that info from The Blank of 3 Years video game as well as The Prince of Darkness which pissed the fuck out of me. It's like seeing all the fun being sucked out.

True. I really do miss 80's and 90's cel animation, but I'm starting to warm-up to modern styles.
I've been watching Sailor Moon Crystal and I like the fact it's a lot closer to the manga the original anime was. I still have a soft spot for the 90's series however. The artwork is still something I'm adjusting to, but it's not as bad as I feared.

Not that one anon, but sometimes you just get used to QUALITY. Or even end up finding it charming, it happened to me with T&B.
Maybe it's just a variant of Stockholm Syndrome.
>>111679615
I'm keeping an open mind. I don't hate modern anime so much as it doesn't really appeal to me like 80's and 90's series do. And I was born in 1991 to boot, but I really like older anime.
I'm also watching Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon because I've recently gotten into toku last year and it's surprisingly enjoyable to watch. I even like Luna and Artemis being plushies.

Anime is typically a genre that suffers from low budgets, which give rise to poor animation which is referred to in the ironic sense as QUALITY. Though it's even worse in the new adaptation of Sailor Moon considering their budget probably isn't shit, it's just Toei not giving a fuck.

The scenes where he groveled like a little bitch because he missed her were the best. And she never held it against him, she just wanted darling's love.

This is exactly why I loved both these characters. His voice made Ataru and General Blue. If there was ever a voice actor who I could use as an example of providing life and unique properties to a character, it would be him.

To be frank, I really didn't care for the original FY storyline. I found the Byakko and Genbu Seishi to be more interesting, but Genbu Kaiden really dashed my expectations.
I just hope Watase doesn't screw-up Byakko Kaiden because I really liked Tokaki and Subaru. Tatara and Suzuno was pretty tragic too.

I was forced to watch Fishugi Yuugi by my friend. Because back in the 90s, my friend and I watched any anime we could find. And we watched it together.
But god....after about 10 episodes or something, I really wanted to quit, while he was totally into it. And then halfway through, when the only character I liked got killed, I was just done. I couldn't take any more. To think there was still 26 more episodes of that to go...I don't even want to think about it.
Then the same thing happened again with this show and Groove Adventure Rave. I couldn't stand the shows, but my friend just obsessed over them. And forced me to watch them. So much pain....

You'd probably like CardCaptor Sakura as well then. Since they took inspiration from a lot of the older Mahou Shoujos like this.
In fact, if you usually like really 'dark' shows but are finding you also like these type of light-hearted mahou shoujos, I can guarantee you'll like CardCaptor Sakura. Because its a fusion of both.

I have fond memories of it since I watched it a lot as a child. I even remember saving up twenty-two dollars worth in pennies to buy a single WAY over-priced DVD from Suncoast back when they were still a thing.

I'll have to check this out now. I hope it's good.

What I liked best about YYH was the concept of Territories. Now JoJo had Stands, but the execution of Territory was the prototype of what Togashi would later utilize when he formulated Nen in Hunter x Hunter.
>>111681462
I just rewatched up through Tournament arch recently.
It seems to me these days what constitutes as an "adult" show now is if it's borderline hentai and extremely violent.
Does anybody else get the feeling that adult shows from back then were a little more mature and not just for basement dwelling otakus?

>>111681743
Its a shame that Territories wasnt something the YYH cast used, but it was a good arc. Similar to Jojo most fights in YYH werent about powerlevels but mainly about exploiting the boss/enemy's weakness through figuring wtf they were doing. I feel this take on shonen fights are lost.
>>111681805
>Does anybody else get the feeling that adult shows from back then were a little more mature and not just for basement dwelling otakus?
One of the strengths of anime in those days was that it was for all audiences, kids and adults. Nowadays, they cater way too much to otaku.
>>111681827
Fuck this brings me back to memories of my 1st girlfriend. She was the one that got me into anime and we'd spend Saturday afternoons watching Ranma 1/2 in her house.
>>111681852
>I used to watch it a lot when it was on the Action Channel
That's where I saw it too man, probably saw at the same time you did in the early 2000s. They had a fair amount of good shows on there, stuff you couldn't find anywhere else at the time.
>>111681658
Which is ironic because it was their real breakout hit that put both them and Megumi Hayashibara on the map. But that's just in Japan.
Honestly, as much of a fan of both Production IG, Megumi AND Yuzo Takada as I am, Blue Seed is not exactly my favorite anime. It feels very...strange. Like a show a ton of people threw tons of ideas hastily together and made a show. Kind of like the 'Regular Show' of anime.
But it still had one of my favorite endings. And Momiji was one of the first truly 'curvy; girls I'd seen in anime.
>>111681965
>I feel this take on shonen fights are lost.
The only modern anime in the last 10 years that I felt used powers creatively was The Law of Ueki.

>>111682029
I agree, Buso Renkin gets a creditble notice even though its a 2000s anime/manga it did a lot of things right. Also same with Kenichi SD; granted the manga is mainly ecchi now i felt the progression of power and the fights were pretty leveled. I wish i could say the same thing for Ippo but its entertaining so i cant fault it for that at least.

To Add.
I'm waiting; I'm waiting for a shonen to grip me like HNK did. To this day i can sit down and watch HNK,its juggling artist, Quality, and some what pointless filler. Normally things that would make me write off most shows today because studios should know better not to completely fuck up., unless you're DEEN. But really HNK is just one of those shonen that fans of the genre should watch and understand that its ok to let your cast die. Its ok to kill the main antagonist and NOT befriend him. now HNK 2 was bad, had great fights but overall after you watched the first season there was really nothing that could top it but they tried.

I'm just worried about getting only a 13 episode series and never getting more because of poor sales.
I couldn't get into Bubblegum Crisis for some reason. I got halfway through. It has everything that I should like, but I guess I just got bored of it. I'll try again, though, maybe I wasn't in the mood.

Thank NHK for that. iirc Anno wanted Nadia to be a 26 ep. series, but NHK wanted more.
>>111684258

>>111684306
They tend to look more supple, yes.
Look at the "flat" heroine of Flame of Recca. Even she was hot.
>>111684498
Fuuko? Or Houji?
>>111684398
I watched the anime and read the manga, but wasn't impressed. It copied too much from its contemporaries. Yu Yu Hakusho especially.
>>111684306
Well, that's what happens with most mediums.
Remember, animators and writers aren't basing their characters off of real people, they're doing it off of other anime characters.
When a trait that's subtle in the 80's gets exaggerated slightly and gradually for 30 years, such as tsunderes, we end up with Kirino.
>>111684581

Nigga, have you not seen the deliciousness that is Plastic Little?
>>111685517
That is some fluid titty animation.
>>111685517
That is one very specific exception. A handful of very high budget OVAs and movies had better detail. But they were the definitely exception. It wasn't until digital aids that breasts started to grow larger and more detailed on a regular basis.
>>111685517
Urushihara was so fucking good with character designs and animation. What happened to him anyway? He just kind of disappeared off the face of the earth.
>>111685517
That's cheating. That OVA has amazing breast physics even by today's standards.
I love how even still Urushihara's girls look 90s and are crazy shiny.

The gravity of the emotion in that song just expresses how strong Kyoko and Godai's feeling for each other are getting by that point in the show.
I always though it was a bit odd that the music box set had a couple songs from Gilbert Osullivan on them.
Was there a western version of the show that used them?

They clear that up pretty early on.
Also did anyone notice how fucking old Soichiro sounded when they first did a flashback. Dude sounded like he was in his fifties despite their age difference being roughly what Godai's and that of his student who's name eludes me.
They either gave Soichiro a younger voice later or just didn't make him talk at all, I can't remember.

Not always a good thing. The women in City Hunter looked like fucking Kenshiro.
And have you played a 90s eroge? Sex scenes are grossly deformed because artists can't into perspective.
It's better today, trust me. We still get ample thick women. Go watch Sabagebu or something.

Why haven't we gotten a new Dirty Pair anime? That is the question!

But that comes from the joke that Kaori the lead female role is often mistaken for a bishounen.
There are plenty of sexy women in City Hunter, especially Saeko.
The only eroge I played from the 90s was Little My Maid, and it does have some pretty bad anatomy.

Lodoss always bothered me with the kitchen sink approach to storytelling that it had. It played out more like Chuunibyou fantasy role playing (since that's where the creators got the idea) than it did a cohesive fairy-tale world.

>The women in City Hunter looked like fucking Kenshiro
Don't exaggerate like that.
Only Kaori did.

That's probably because it was basically based off a D&D campaign.

Is it worth reading/watching? I've been needing a good romantic series.

Kaori was cute damn you!

Did you notice how much from that series inspired Ocarina of Time?
Ganondorf is basically Beld with one of the goblin minion's faces.
And Link's tunic looks like Deedlit's.
Even princess Zelda looks a little bit like her, especially with the giant elf east they have.

Go to bed or count your Laserdisc collection you 15 year old.

Fuck, I'm seeing it now.
Though I'm not so sure about it actually inspiring anything.
