What old anime are you guys watching?

I've been recovering from certain substance abuse issues ahem.. and so watched:

Paranoia Agent (1 - 13)
Kaiji Ultimate Survivor (1 - 26)
Akagi (1 - 26)
Original Bubblegum Crisis (1 - 8)
GTO (1 - 30)

Who else is watching a past series?

I haven't been watching any old series, but I did watch an OVA called Plastic Little this week and it was pretty good.

Watching Master Keaton at the moment, the Tin Tin of anime
>>
>>140588544
I remember Plastic Little. I recall it being raunchy for a youth. Maybe I should revisit..

I'm over here trying to watch episode 1 of Aria but it's not doing it for me...

I need a negative psychological thriller where the world is brutal and death is always near...

Maybe I'll watch LOGH kek.

I got ~20 episodes into it, i could pick it back up...

>>140589132

This looks pretty good. I'm surprised I hadn't heard of it.

Hmm I should have just said "past series." Old is ambiguous, but I'd consider 70s - 90s to be "old."

Anything after is modern, anything earlier is ancient.
>>
>>140589132
>the Tin Tin of anime
I was expecting Indiana Jones and got Sherlock Holmes, but Tintin is also an apt comparison.

>>140585932

GTO is already the best, don't bother with anything else. Finish watching GTO and then read the original GTO manga (not the spinoffs/prequels/sequels)

Macross DYRL

Macross and waiting for more Yawara BD eps.
Macross is so awesome.

>>140585932
I tried watching the older tetsujin-28, but then I saw there was a version done by our lord and savior Imagawa and decided to watch that instead. It was really good, but holy shit I didn't realize just how much Giant Robo the animation pulled from Tetsujin.

I'm fairly confident GTO is like 50 episodes long.

No one is following my Dougram program

That is unfortunate

42 actually

Finally sat through Dominion and Gunsmith Cats after putting them off for ages.
Doing Patlabor now.
>>
>>140593561

Aye 43 episodes.

I watched 30 then paused to take a break from the slapstick.

Tried to watch Sayonara Sensei but needed a break from the satire after 12 episodes.

I'll finish GTO but I'm not sure what to watch next...

My friend is always talking about Aria but I'm bored halfway through the first episode. Maybe it will pick up.
>>
>>140588544
I remember Plastic Little being really stupid fanservice thing but weirdly well animated one.
Like the only reason to watch it was for the tits but they were high quality tits.

Watching Ashita no Joe 2 now (watched 1 until episode 54).
>>
>>140593814
I will watch it once I finish Joe.
What's your program?
>>
>>140594098
Only old anime ITT.

I'm slowly watching Touch, Tylor and Votoms. I'm finishing up Ace wo Nerae and I'll probably start the second season raw after.
>>
>>140585932
Just finished Ginga Nagareboshi Gin. Not the most amazing thing I've ever saw, but still decent.
>>
>>140594017
The program is to watch two episodes a week or in a stream on the mog-3 channel on taima starting...tomorrow 1pm Eastern. Made a thread last Sunday to announce it

Want to watch Dougram again and make an event out of it with the topical boards.
The purpose is discussion and a share of opinions
>>
>>140594307
I'm in.

I've been watching Zeta Gundam recently. I don't see why people hate it so much I'm only on episode 36 or so, but it's solid so far.

Also Katz may be a fuck up but it's fun watching his stupidity.

The list goes on.

I've been trying to get into old mecha but I'd never be able to commit to a timed weekly thing. I'll watch it one day though, don't worry anon.

Do whatever the hell you want. There will be a thread for it on Sundays assuming I don't lose interest, so go at whatever pace you want. Commit to watching it every week at a stream. Watch two episodes and join in in a thread. Bulk watch it and shoot the shit despite being ahead of the schedule

>>140594511
Ping Pong Club is good unlike the chans
>>
>>140594476
Zeta Gundam is usually considered one of the best, if you're seeing a lot of vocal hate for it then you're probably dealing with shitposters from /m/, the board where people only like G-Reco and the latest Kamen Rider
>>
>>140594748

Are you kicking it off tomorrow with episodes 1 & 2?

What time should I look for the thread?
>>
>>140585932
I'm watching the last 2 episodes of Mazinger Z tonight. Having watched Mazinger, Devilman, Cutey Honey, and Polymar, I can say that the Tatsunoko series was much more fun to watch than the Toei ones.

Other than that, the oldest show I'm watching is Abenobashi.


>>140594307
I've already seen Dougram, but I'll check it out.

And is it just me or is Crinn actually a pretty shitty pilot? He gets hit all the time, and if he was piloting anything other than Dougram he would've died many times over. If he lived in the UC Gundam universe, he would have been Brightslapped for "relying on his machine too much".

You sound like the shitposter to me.

I've slowly been working through Gundam in production order. Started watching 0079 in late October last year.
Just starting Victory now. Shakti is cute but a little annoying.
Looking forward to Turn A, 08th MS Team and G Gundam (maybe by the time I finish Victory, the newly announced Blu-Rays for G will be subbed).

>>140594476
Zeta hate is a meme but Katz is one of the worst characters in the franchise nonetheless.
>>
>>140594804
/m/ hates G-Reco, and Zeta is considered the pinnacle of 80s Gundam by the board.

No one's cared about KR since Gaim.

I personally preferred ZZ because it was fun.

I finished all three Ippo series recently so I've been looking into other related stuff, with a bias for older series.

I started watching Grappler Baki the other day.
And I've been reading Ashita no Joe recently. I'll probably watch the anime as well once I'm done.

Since you're talking mecha, Have you guys watched Macross? I wanna start watching it but I dunno where to start, From what I read it doesn't really matter since it branches off like 20 times?

But IRC the FIRST one you should watch is If you remember love? or Super Dimensional Macross, something along those lines.

It starts tomorrow from the top, yes

The stream itself if you are interested is 1 PM Eastern, 12 PM Central. I'll make a thread half an hour to twenty minutes beforehand about the stream and also post some information about the show and summaries

My goal is talking though, not to get anybody to watch a stream though so it's entirely what you want to do. It is just for the convenience of anyone interesting since it is something that some people like to do if they're watching something as a group and it's not a seasonal thing. Not sure why I'm emphasizing this so much, but you are entirely free to go at your own speed and watch alone without ever touching a stream

>>140594829
Crinn is good and the Dougram is not that good

Victory's very polarizing. Personally, I loved it.

What do you think of the unorthodox sequencing of the first few episodes?
>>
>>140595165
>thread about old anime
>not watching the oldest anime and working your way up through production order

Idiort.

>>140595215
Everyone hates it. It was mandated from on high. There's no reason to like it and makes for a jarring experience, it just makes things more confusing.
>>
>>140595165
Super Dimension Fortress is pretty great. You can see early Gainax cutting their teeth on key animation sequences, and the story is classic and good.

The original lovely Minmay! You should watch it.
>>
>>140595165
The first thing you watch is the TV series SDF Macross and DYRL is the movie retelling of all the events in the TV series but really fucking pretty. It's pretty simple, TV first then movie

Don't know if the really fucking pretty line tipped you off but DYRL is not a compilation like the first Eva or Ideon movies. Generally follows the same beats as SDF but is not exactly the same
>>
>>140585932

i'm watching Mai-HiME.

i'm not sure why i'm watching it. i'm not really enjoying it. i have this vague memory of reading somewhere that's there's a twist/mood shift at some point so i think i'll keep watching. i'll probably just be dispapointed in the end.
>>
>>140595165
Watching it in production order is probably best.

Original series > Do You Remember Love > Plus > 7 > Frontier > Delta

Avoid Macross II. I'm pretty sure it was retconned out of existence, anyway.
>>
>>140595215
I found it pointless and confusing.
>tfw already spoiled about Katejina becoming a baddie because I played three of the Gundam musous + EXVSFB before I reached Zeta
>>
>>140595416
>i have this vague memory of reading somewhere that's there's a twist/mood shift at some point so i think i'll keep watching
There is. I was in the same boat at one point. Keep watching.
>>
>>140585932
If outlaw star counts
Pretty great desu

>>140595422
I forgot about Macross Zero. Stick that between 7 and Frontier.
>>
>>140595333
>>140595422


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross Does the Wikipedia order sound good following the release dates?

I wonder how hard it will be to find subbed eps since it's really old.
>>
>>140595487
>spoiler
That might be for the best. I knew about it too, and I enjoyed picking out those little hints the show dropped.

I just recently finished SDF watching DYRM sometime this week,
why does nippon do space operas way much better than the US?

>>140596037
shit I meant DYRL
>>
>>140595679
Yeah, that works.

All of the shows and OVAs should be pretty easy to find. Macross isn't exactly obscure.
