I'm watching that right now, anon. Only 4 episodes in yet, still meeting the cast, but it's very entertaining so far.
Chacha is great, but only the episodes Yakko-chan is in.
>>141689468
My man of fine taste.
My middle school friend was pretty obsessed with Chacha. I only had interest enough to watch the OVA.
>>141689629
It's a pretty cozy show to just have playing the background, although the attempts at longer fantasy story arcs are less entertaining.
>>141689881
Well the plot ends about 3/4 into the show and the rest is comfy filler. It's my favorite kids show if you want to call it that.
About to start watching Cardcaptor Sakura for the first time, I just finished downloading it.
>>141690078
Did you get that fuck huge coalgirls release?
>>141689329
Chacha was great at being a damedame little girl comedy in a fantasy setting, but the magical girl stuff they threw in to compete with Sailor Moon was rubbish.
>>141689468
Yakko and Marine were a great "team".

I'd love to get a nice Hokuto no Ken BD.
Anyway, recently downloaded Arion and The Five Star Stories and the Escaflowne movie, are they any good?
I'm watching Sailor moon super s at the moment.
It's not as bad as people are making it out to be.

I'm rewatching You're Under Arrest because I never finished it back in the day. I'm enjoying it way more than I did as a teenager. Every episode has some kind of passive joke that a kid wouldn't get.
Its also good because it basically has a Belldandy clone, but she has an actual personality.

This is really making me want to rewatch the show but really, the school antics/filler episodes are the most entertaining part of it.
Great show overall though.

The film's very entertaining too, and actually matches the OVA in quality. Watch out though, there's a version with a decided bad video transfer.

I also could have written a series of novels. But instead I waste my time here.
When will these threads upgrade to pre-2005? I'm not watching any pre-2000 anime at the moment.
My likely next anime from this time period is probably Nadia, because I've been wanting to watch it for a while.
Another possibility is Brain Powerd, but not sure yet.
I have started watching Rose of Versailles, but haven't put any effort into it in a while.
I am also thinking more and more about Patlabor. Someone said it was a nice SoL-ish anime or something, and that sounds good. It's also really popular.

>>141694562
I can understand about half of what is said in a typical anime series. Enough to tell when a translation is making shit up. But still not enough to watch something completely without subs. Unless its something really easy like Hanamaru Youchien or CardCaptor Sakura.
And since this is a pre 2000 anime thread, might as well post it.
>>141694749
>>141694740
>>141694515
I think the most logical cut off would be 2004. Since 2004-2006 was the time when dubs started to drop off and online subbing became dominant. Basically, after 2004, the vast majority of anime fans in the west were watching subs online out of necessity. But back in 1998 or so was right when the Toonami/Dub fad began.
Also because some shows like Princess Tutu, Pita Ten, Gate Keepers or Azumanga Daioh seem to get lost in the mix. They're not old enough to be pre 2000, but not digital and 'new' enough.

>Also because some shows like Princess Tutu, Pita Ten, Gate Keepers or Azumanga Daioh seem to get lost in the mix. They're not old enough to be pre 2000, but not digital and 'new' enough.
I mean, we're making an arbitrary divide no matter which year we choose, so I don't think that's that big a deal.
>>141694946
>Pita Ten
Ah, I remember you.
>>141694946
I don't think dubs are what to look at. Digital is one suggestion, another could be widescreen format.
Princess tutu at least gets discussion though, and Azumanga Daioh. But that time period had so much good anime it may be able to sustain a thread my itself. 2000-Haruhi for example.
I hope you faggots watch WMT. Princess sara is the best one.
I've been reading GTO for the first time. Is the anime different enough to take a look at, or am I getting the full experience through the manga?

>>141694591
It looks like an interesting show by the first episode but maybe the plot isn't amazing. I got the raws after leeching for like three months.
>>141695239
The anime is basically 2/3 the manga. But ends abruptly.
The reason you should watch the anime is for the hilarious voice actors. And some of the jokes work much better with the quick cuts and exaggerated animation style.

>The storylines of the manga and the anime adaptation are markedly different: while the anime uses most of the same characters, the story of the first two seasons were invented for the television show. Most of the stories in the third season are based on the manga.
But now that I read the wiki page I'm a little worried that I might be better off just reading the manga before it "turns dark."
Kodocha. Love the humor and the interactions between the MC and delinquent boy, but the drama can get a little too thick for my taste, especially this entire "Mom writes a book" arc. Just powered through it and hope it returns to the fun stuff.
>>141694946
The logical cut off would be 1995 because EVA changed everything.

There was no "dub fad." Dubs have always dominated and continue to dominate the Western anime market, at least in America.

The magical girl stuff in Sailor Moon was rubbish and that would have been a far better show were it not held back by that.

Yes, you absolutely are. The manga is massively better than any other adaptation of it, and I say this as someone who typically despises most manga elitism.

Pita Ten was pretty awesome, and the manga was sad, I loved it.
This is the fourth thinly veiled recommendation thread I've seen in the last 10 minutes.
I haven't been watching anything from before 2010 the past week or two. I've been catching up on tons of shit I just ignored for various reasons, regardless of quality.
>>141698140
The majority of people even in America have switched to watching online subs. Simply because of necessity. They're free and way more prevalent. Why spend $60-$100 to buy a show when you can get it online for free? And watch it right when the show airs in Japan, not 2 years later.
For fuck sake, even my 12 year old cousin watches subbed anime online. And this is a kid who goes out and buys every major AAA game that comes out. Yet even he doesn't bother buying anime.

>>141697404
You know it.
>>141699762
I see this a lot lately. The longer and slower the better as far as I'm concerned. Being able to digest a 50+ episode series ends up being a lot more memorable and fulfilling than rushing through tons of short mediocre series.

all of Gal Force
all of Armored Trooper VOTOMS

Neo Tokyo
Odin: Photon Sailer Starlight Mutiny
Robot Carnival
Iria:Zeiram
Armitage III
Silent Mobius
Genmu Senki Leda, and
Windaria
to name a slight few. The list is hundreds of entries long, there's just tons of stuff that needs BluRay to really shine. Some have already had remasters but are still only available on DVD. Remember how stunning Lodoss' transformation was, it could make a lot of these into something stupendous, especially Gal Force and Dirty Pair Project Eden.

>>141700802
This is the opinion of a crazy man
>>141700802
I'm not really going to try and change your opinion. But the reason the second season ended the way it did was because of the source material (Swan Lake). And because ballets as a whole usually end with a bitter sweet ending.
But also, it being a shoujo and all, it was playing right to the female audience. "Fakia still loves Ahiru as a duck, its so touching." etc.
>>141688775
Right now I'm making my way through the last stretch of Key the Metal Idol. I've only got the thirteenth episode and the two OVAs left.
It's been really interesting so far. First thing that came to mind was that Key was like a sort of prototype for Serial Experiments Lain, but that doesn't really seem to be a fair comparison for either series.
>>141700363
>>141700729
noice!
>>141701539
After 5 or 6 episodes of nothing happening, I couldn't finish this. I'm sure it led to a powerful ending, but there's only so much I can take of Key sitting alone in a park and Sailor Mars complaining about her boyfriend.
>>141701539
I always liked Key. It has some pacing issues with the last two OVA episodes, but I still love the style and dark direction.Also, the dub is a bit of a guilty pleasure. They actually did a good job translating the songs.
>>141701237
>Fakia
You mean Fakir.
>>141701782
Ahiru pronounces it Fakia so I'm going with that. Not that big of a problem, unlike Mute/Mytho/Miyuto.
>>141701716I prefer the english version of the opening to the japanese one.

It's so annoying.
My SO and I have been watching Ranma 1/2 for a few months now, an episode here and another there in between work/classes when we're caught up on everything airing now. Feels good, man, the whole thing is just great (though we both have a hatred/annoyance with Happosai).
>>141704217
>though we both have a hatred/annoyance with Happosai
Well better get used to him. After season 3, its The Happosai Show, occasionally featuring Ranma and the others.
>>141704356
We hit the point where he was "leaving" and there was much rejoicing. Then something like 2 episodes later he came back and we died on the inside. I think his constant presence is the reason we only ever watch a few episodes at a time.

You should be able to discern a demographic easily with just surface level stuff such as promo images, year and number of episodes nine out of ten times. SMJ is clearly a late night anime just when you look at it's designs, release date and number of cours. Being aired on children's slots in third world shitholes in latin america does not change the original target demo
Furthermore, there is the implications that, should it be for children, then it is just shit. Big mistake

It was marketed to the same type of people as Slayers or Nadesico. Aka teenage men. And it was a heavily cleaned up version of a highly ecchi manga series.
>Furthermore, there is the implications that, should it be for children, then it is just shit. Big mistake
I never claimed that. Some of my favorite anime are shows aimed at kids like CardCaptor Sakura, Mitsudomoe, Pita Ten or Princess Tutu.
And you are the biggest idiot ever for assuming such a thing while also claiming SMJ was a 'late night anime'. As if you're trying to imply it was made for older audiences (Sienen). Because holy fuck, it wasn't.
You are a fucking idiot. And you better drop your trip soon or you'll become the laughing stock of /a/.

It is a show for old tacos. The late night crowd. The ones who like highly ecchi shit? Who get off on cute girls? And awful jokes? And I know Megumi Hayashibara was really big in the 90s with EVERYONE, but she was also an otaku favorite. The people who would buy her CDs and merchandise and attend shows with her, teenagers don't have the kind of cash to do that shit
I stick by what I said, you have a bad eye. And if your eyes suck, just doing a minor skim will tell you that it is a series that spun off from an OVA. The OVA market wasn't exactly something held up and influenced by a horny teenager's chump change, no, it was the horny adult male's big fat bucks.

I wish series were longer instead of people making 13 episode series, fucking around for 9 of those episodes, and then trying to rush everything in 2 or maybe even 1 episode.
I guess it's a necessity in this day and age, but I really hate the cour system. Every anime with a cour over a year or two has always ended up changing during the second to try and market/pander to whatever was popular, and it usually never turns out right.

Should have clarified and said all anime before 95 looks like garbage to me, it starts to polish up to acceptable in 98 or 2000 and finally becomes palatable uniformly around 2004. While obviously there are anime that were ahead of their time and still looks great today (Jin Roh you sexy bitch) there were 100 anime to every outlier that stood the test of time. I almost cant even watch Neon Genesis because it looks so bad. If it wasnt for it being a literal masterpiece i would drop it after the first episode.

>I wish series were longer instead of people making 13 episode series, fucking around for 9 of those episodes, and then trying to rush everything in 2 or maybe even 1 episode.
Wanting longer series is fair, but the one that fuck around for nine episodes with a plot at the end aren't going to magically become dense, tightly told stories just because you give them more room - they'd just spend forty-five episodes on episodic stuff and MotW with some vague plot details every five episodes, and then have a concluding arc at the end. Basically the same shit. If someone stuffs the plot into the last two episodes, then the plot isn't a priority for them, and adding runtime won't change that.
Also,
>a cour over a year or two
What?
>>141708999
Sorry nigga, Asuka is way better
>>141709257
This pretty much. Anime in the 70s-90s actually had too much fluff. And it was rare for an anime to have every episode in a 26-48 episode span to its full effectiveness.
Now, does that mean 12-13 episodes is better? Not really. Some anime these days can't even use all 13 episodes fully. But I'm just pointing out, a show like Blue Seed or Nadesico, half the episodes were pretty pointless and almost a chore to get through. They would have done just fine as 13 episodes. While something like Hanamaru Youchien or Angelic Layer needed a second season to conclude the story, but never got it.

>>141708966
2004 is such an arbitrary point to pick. There are tons of garbage looking anime from that year, and more in every year after. There are just as many that suck today as there were in the 90's, it's just that we have a much greater pool to pick from.
>>141709680
Not Op but i assume he's talking about artstyle more than anything. That and the phase out of 4:3. There was a definite style change around that time with the whole huge forehead and eyes far apart thing.
>>141709680
Even talking about artstyle, there's plenty of stuff that looks terrible. Daughter of Twenty Faces from 2008. Futakoi 2004. Even 2012 had Aesthetica.
>>141709930
Meant for>>141709831
>>141709257
I mean series like Gundam 00, or Code Geass that had a year between their second seasons, and made a lot of changes because of it.
But you're probably right about that first part though anyway.
>>141709930
Ahhh true. Daughter of Twenty Faces definitely has the artstyle i was talking about. Good point
>>141709930
Welp, now I'm looking through 2012 again and marvelling at the number of shows that aired then that we still talk about. Another. Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. Eureka Seven. Fate/Zero. Shinsekai Yori. Girls und Panzer. Jinrui. Hyouka. Korean Zombie Deskcar. Jojo. Sakamichi no Apollon. Kokoro Connect. Chuunibyou. Nyaruko. Psycho-Pass. Even SAO. And that's not even everything that's good from that year.

It was enjoyable but I wish they've given a bit more episodes to flesh out Max and Millia while cutting down some of scenes about Hikaru's love triangle. I mean come on, they're like the first Miclone-Mitrand couple. Seems like a pretty damn big deal after the diplomatic powers of an idol. Could have done with a couple more episodes to focus on them. Hikaru is too damn wishy washy and flips flops around so much that it annoys the shit out of me sometimes. So yeah, pretty much this >>141709257

He strikes me as someone who just love the extravagance of ancient classics, you know, the sort of epic tales of gods versus man, large scale destruction and tragedy, that sort of thing. I mean, he's obviously a big fan of Dante's Inferno and he's done quite a few Mazinger spin-offs in the vein of classic Greco-Roman stories.
