Can we have an old anime thread?
What are you watching anon?
>>143468598
Ranma 1/2
>>143468598
I actually just started watching the Dirty Pair, coincidentally.
>>143468598
The first Lupin series
why'd Lupin just try and burn that fake psychic to death?
Votoms
>>143468598
just "finished" Dangaioh
Mia is a lovely leotard lady
>>143468598
I re-watched Golden Boy recently. Anyone who hasn't seen it should immediately go and watch it. The whole series is less than 3 hours.
![[HorribleSubs] Ashita no Joe 2 - 12 [1080p].mkv_snapshot_18.26_[2016.06.27_10.06.53].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Au2D6HF.jpg "[HorribleSubs] Ashita no Joe 2 - 12 [1080p].mkv_snapshot_18.26_[2016.06.27_10.06.53].jpg")
I'm watching Ashita no Joe S2.
Some parts are better executed than S1 but its version of Joe vs. Carlos was disappointing. Both the manga and S1 did it better.
>>143469056
Episode 1 of Dangaioh was good but it was still annoying how the girls couldn't pilot the mech.
Ep 2 was well animated but horribly written
Ep 3 was generally boring
I want to read the yuri spin-off
>>143468887
Because Lupin kills people all the time? Even in red jacket and the modern specials he blows people up.
The manga version of the story is better because it ends with Lupin's dick getting burnt since it didn't have the anti-fire substance on it
>>143470574
And yes there is a yuri spinoff
>>143468858
Whats the appeal of Dirty Pair.
>>143470716
why it's not fully scanned I do not know

>>143470726
its a pro tranny anime and thus very progressive
>>143470482
sold!
Trying to watch Shamanic Princess, but it's really boring.Will probably finish it in not too long, though, only 6 episodes in total.
Also started Lodoss War TV a while ago, but havent' seen anytihng in a while. It got too scary and then i jst stopped and havent started again.
And Angel's Egg two days ago. Took a lot of effort to not fall asleep.
Also started Perfect Blue, but it's so horrible to watch. Will force myself through the rest in the coming weeks though
>>143470848
>It got too scary
I was never scared of an anime in my life
>>143470482
Golden Boy is really good mainly because of the anime execution. If you think about it thematically it's some of the most pathetic self-insert fantasy in the world (I'm a weird creep that sexually harasses women BUT I'M SECRETLY A WONDERFUL GENIUS THAT NO ONE APPRECIATES) and the manga is drawn in a way that is both technically horrible and not funny. But the fucking fantastic staff of the anime makes the anime a fantastic experience and it's easy to forgive the awkwardness.
Also I had no idea Kitakubo himself animated one of my favorite moments https://sakuga.yshi.org/post/show/17628/animated-character_acting-golden_boy-hiroyuki_kita
>>143468598
>>143468858
How good is Dirty Pair?
>>143470726
Two cute women wearing little clothing have crazy space adventures.
If you can't see the appeal, I hate to tell you this but you're probably gay.
>>143471091
Worth a check. Does the first episode give a good representation of the show.
>>143471114
To be honest I haven't seen the TV series, but if you want to get a good idea of the fanservice, banter, and zany adventures/scale of destruction, watch Project Eden. Second or third VHS I ever bought, I remember it fondly.
>>143470994
it ranges from kinda dull to fucking amazing.
Finished blue seed some time ago, the ovas are worth the show.
>>143470848
Perfect Blue is one of those anime movies that you're not allowed to dislike on the internet. That's fine if you don't like it but only because you're on 4chan.
>>143471114
the first TV show is possibly the least good part of the franchise.
watch the OVAs and the movies if the TV show doesn't hook you.
>>143468598
I'm watching Cowboy Bebop for the first time, actually. On episode 16
I've already been spoiled on the ending but it's the journey that matters
>>143471278
I don't really like Cowboy Bebop.
The main characters are all goofy or annoying, I don't like the soundtrack and I can't take it seriously.
the animation and direction is good though
>>143471278
I wish I could watch Bebop for the first time again. Don't forget to watch the movie after you're done with the series.
Currently watching Nadesico, something that has been on my list for a long time. On episode 7 and not sure why this gets so much love. I get all the references, but it's a mediocre satire so far.
>>143470994
previous anon nailed it, the good episodes are fabulously entertaining, the bad ones aren't very interesting. Personally I thought the first TV series was the most fun part of the franchise.
>Ro-Ro-Ro-Russian-Roulette
>>143471233
It's not that I dislike it, it's just really uncomfortable
>>143471330
>goofy
The show's hugely inspired by Lupin III, you're not meant to take it that seriously.
It's good, not BEST ANIME EVER but certainly very polished and well executed.
>>143470726
Yuri is cute

>Novels: very cool
>TV series: pretty fun overall
>OVAs: VERY fun, very good
>that one movie nobody remembers: it's OK
>Project Eden: FUCKING MASTERPIECE
>manga: it's OK
>Flash: very uneven, sometimes boring, sometimes super fun
>Comics: start out clumsy, become extremely cool and end up gross and dumb

Monkey punch always reminds me of the art that you used to see in Mad Magazine in the 1980s, wonder if either of them influenced each other.
>>143469056
>>143470574
Overall, Dangaioh is a lovely but dated piece of animation with terrible writing highlighted by the fact that it has no ending.
The first 2 parts of this were pretty good. Shame about the final part being such shit
It's old now
God I miss 80's character designs
>>143471612
>you're not meant to take it that seriously
you're meant to be able to feel sad and melancholic when shit gets serious.
But I can't, because the main cast look (and act) like complete clowns.
Seriously, Spike has clown hair.
I can't even suspend my disbelief enough to accept that a woman fell in love with that goofball, so how am I supposed to feel sad when I learn about his "tragic backstory"?
I watched this recently. TMS put it up on YouTube for free (strangely with only the French and Spanish dubs).
It was pretty good, can't believe how it was so dark and meant for children at the same time though.
>>143471642
>but dated
>but
How is it a bad thing?
Like holy shit do you go to the Louvre to check out Delacroix's paintings and then go "Mh. It's fine, but it's so dated, it's obvious that it was made in the XIXth century."
>>143471662
I only watched part 1 and it was total trash.
The animation stand-outs weren't even that amazing, it had some of the least interesting Anno animation for example. The Kanada-style action near the end was probably the best but by that point I was just too annoyed with it to get any enjoyment out of it.
The writing was HORRIFYINGLY bad. The scene you posted is the dumbest shit in the fucking world and made me straight up hate it.
>"I stole a super-powerful secret mecha from a dangerous organization that wants me dead, so I'll let a schoolgirl film it and show the film to her school"
>"OH NO SHE GOT KILLED!!! THOSE MONSTERS!!!!!!!!"
The characters had no personality and were just "80s sexy anime people" with autistic dialogue
I've been watching Goldran, it's ok I guess.
>>143471700
poofy hair is so good
>>143471720
It seems like anime just isn't for you if you need designs that are boring and realistic and completely non-cartoony to feel sad for them.
>>143471751
Old shonens are dark as fuck, have you seen Ashita no Joe?
Or hell, have you read Astro Boy? There's a chapter where he comes across the bullet ridden corpses of Vietnamese children.
>>143471631
>that one movie nobody remembers
...Flight 009 Conspiracy?
>>143471815
>watching anime and expecting it to make sense
good writing is just a nice added bonus that happens every now and then, it's not what you should watch anime for. Just welcome it when it's good and don't pay attention to it when it sucks.

4chan today is trying its best to make me feel so fucking old. and its working
Hello since there isn't a QTDDTOT thread I'll ask it here.
I remember bits and parts from an old anime but for the sake of me can't remember the name. I'll try to describe what I remember been well over 25 years since I watched it.
So there are some crooks trying to rob a pyramid shaped glass bank with a tank. In comes for the rescue a cop that well he can't defeat the crooks. Lo and behold here comes the cyborg soon to be partner with the human cop and saves the day.
The human doesn't want this to happen but it does anyway and ofc at the end they become friends or something like that.
Sorry for my English not my first language. Thanks in advance.
>>143471795
It's not necessarily a bad thing, but, in some cases, it bothers me a little (sometimes a lot).
>>143471795
>>143471642
I think he means the fact that it was made in the OVA era where if stuff wasn't successful enough it didn't get an ending. But saying something is bad because it doesn't have an ending is really, really fucking dumb. It's not like they didn't WANT to give it an ending, they just couldn't. That's just the way anime was produced then, they made episodes and released them and if it was successful they could continue it.
>>143471700
I love this style and I don't know why
Must be the poofy hair
>>143471869
>It seems like anime just isn't for you if you need designs that are boring and realistic and completely non-cartoony to feel sad for them.
Nigger you don't understand.
The main cast of Cowboy Bebop IS drawn in a fairly realistic style. That's what makes their goofy-ass looks even more jarring.
But even then, there are ways to get around that issue, namely PROPER DRAMATIC PACING.
Look at Trigun for example: it's paced appropriately for the goofy-ass comedic main character to become a strong pathetic figure, because the director doesn't rush us through his backstory on the last few episodes, and gives him adequately slow and steady character development.
Spike just fucks around for most of the show and then BAM! CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT! FEEL SAD FOR THIS CLOWN!
>>143471915
There's a colossal difference between just making a 'fun plotless shit' OVA like say Dead Leaves or Birth and trying to be plot-driven but failing really, really badly.
>>143472098
Yeah I can't say I agree with Trigun being better than Bebop but I honestly don't care enough to argue
>>143472097
it's a combination of many things, mostly the fact that all those characters look fit, have cheeks, and of course fluffy hair
>>143472142
>>143472098
Also I would not call Bebop realistic. The designs are very anime-esque and stylized.
>Not watching old shows for girls
I'm rewatchimg Hokuto no Ken with the French voices ,shit's super hilarious
>>143472109
I agree that part 1 had really terrible writing that prevented me from really caring about the main cast, but the fact that it was mystery-focused was enough to keep me interested in the story.
Part 2 is much more focused and has a stronger pacing. The characters' motivations still make little sense but they're carried out in an engaging way.
>>143472190
Well it's not fucking Perfect Blue but it's a lot more realistic than your average show of that era.
>>143472272
AH, POURQUOI TOUT LE MONDE EST-IL TOQUÉ DE TOKI?
>>143472280
I'll admit that part of the reason I'm really mean to Megazone is that it gets away with so much dumb writing and gets no flak from the "old school anime fan" clique but then people act as if things like Mad Bull 34 and Apocalypse Zero are "unintentionally funny" and you're "laughing at them, not with them" even though they're obviously absurdist comedies and were written in an utterly self aware way.
>>143472328
I don't think so. I think you're mistaking the characters not having huge eyes with realism. The eyes are still stylized and anime-esque, they're just smaller because in animation mature characters generally have smaller eyes and big eyes are associated with youth.
>>143472272
I heard the French dub changed all the dialogue on purpose. Like the English Ghost Stories dub.
>>143472109
Megazone 23 was originally supposed to be a TV series with 12 episodes, but they had huge budget cuts midway through the production phase and had to change the format. Which also enabled them to have sex scenes.
I don't know how much that excuses the dumb writing but it explains a lot of it.

Yeah the voice actor said that the show was too violent for the T.V so they changed the script to make puns all over the place and defuse the drama
>>143472371

I don't think that "clique" exists and I haven't seen people treat Apocalypse Zero as shlock.

The absolute best thing that came out of Fist of the North Star isn't even old
Any good futuristic or cyberpunk anime?
Bubblegum crisis sucked.
Cyber City was great at least.
>>143472555
No, they said it was too violent for them and refused to dub it, UNLESS they could change the script and have fun with it.
>>143472248
That ed gave me my first boner.
>>143472272
Weren't all of Ken's attacks changed into ridiculous names?
I could swear I heard one of them as technique [quelque chose] beurre
>>143472602
But then I only watch the old stuff as brainless entertainment and I'm the kind of person who doesn't really get how people can develop a huge emotional attachment to the old Fist of the North Star stuff and how people reacted to Raoh's death the same way Ashita no Joe fans did to Rikishi's death
>>143472602
>I haven't seen people treat Apocalypse Zero as shlock
You've not spent much time discussing old anime online then. It's considered the worst anime of all time and the manga also gets shit on by default (the manga's better, the anime's still pretty good).

I don't really know where to discuss old anime online outside of 4chan to be honest. I read a few blogs and forum posts from time to time and from what I've seen EVERY old anime with a few exceptions (Oshii's stuff, mostly) is either ignored or treated like complete shit.
>>143472718
I truly believe that anyone who seriously thinks normal FOTNS is better than what Hiromoto did with it is a genuinely a really dumb person
Im watching cowboy bepop in the cap 14 or something and I cant find why the people put this anime in top 10 best animes.
Can anyone tell me if is worth to keep watching it?
>>143472603
Get a load of this pile of shit.
>>143472777
You judge everything in the most literal "muh plot" way possible so nah you'll probably never grow to like it
>>143472777
If Jupiter Jazz doesn't catch you then just drop it.
>>143472777
I heard it's an anime mostly liked by people who don't like anime. Compare the number of people who watch anime with people who don't, and you can see the non-anime fans outnumber the rest. There is also strong nostalgia for it, most Americans grew up with it on TV so they will rate it higher
I've watching the first season of Lupin III. About halfway through now. Shit's pretty comfy, I like the soundtrack.
>Lupin.... He's a nice man! But he's cool...
>>143472772
Well ok, not really, I understand enjoying it more
But holy shit Jagi Gaiden is on a whole other level in terms of atmosphere and themes
>>143472777
Cowboy Beebop is overrated bullshit, don't bother with it.
>>143472715
I knew I wasn't imagining things
J'aime quand même le générique français
>>143472855
what?
that's a big assumption you're making
>>143472948
Les Chevalier du Zodiaque sont pas mal en français aussi
>>143472886
The only reason it has that reputation is because average anime fans are weeaboo faggots and generally shove the most obnoxious things into people's faces. There is plenty of other anime that's easily understandable by western viewers that just didn't become popular because it never aired on TV.
Bebop is also extremely Japanese, just in subtler ways that the kind of people who think saying Cowboy Bebop is overrated shit makes them smart knowledgeable fans would not notice. Something like it could not have come out of the US by any stretch.
>>143472886
>>143472777
it's just entry-level anime for people with "standards" (aka people who don't like anime, as opposed to people who watch Naruto), like Akira, Nausicaa and Ghost in the Shell.
>>143473023
It was good, I was surprised the torrent on bakabt had the french dub in it
>>143473059
>it's just entry-level anime for people with "standards" (aka people who don't like anime
Liking anime doesn't mean watching garbage that you need to have trained yourself into being an autist to enjoy. I watch more anime than any other form of entertainment and I probably "hate anime" by the standards of you mental midgets.
>>143473125
Are you english or French so i can write in a more understandable way ?
>>143473184
French but I got warned and post deleted for frogposting on /a/ before so I don't risk it anymore.
>>143473141
Wow that's a lot of assumptions you're making.
But I shouldn't have said "entry-level", since most of the people who like those movies and shows never bother to look for more things like it.
Ask a big fan of Cowboy Bebop / Miyazaki / GitS / Akira if he's ever watched a SLIGHTLY more obscure but equally beautiful anime and he'll say no.
>>143470680
Might just be me, but Lupins artstyle seems really similar to that of Getter Robo.
>>143473270
>equally beautiful
I thought you were implying it's a bad show that only silly plebs like or w/e given the general attitude of the discussion.
"I dislike anime BUT" types just haven't been shown the more obscure stuff because generally weeaboo kids flock to things like Naruto and Kill la Kill (admittedly KLK is much better than Naruto but still) which are absolutely not the best examples of anime. "Fandom-friendly" things that generally attract nerdy autists because they're just shallow enough to have some basis in plot and character but otherwise have a lot of blanks for people to fill with empty discussion.
I won't say they have no fault at all and obviously doing your own research is good, but "people who really like anime" don't make a very good case for it. Anime & manga ended up being my favorite form of entertainment DESPITE the fans.
Some good shows are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time to get mainstream western approval, others are not. Instead of saying "BEBOP IS ENTRY LEVEL BABBYS FIRST ANIMU" just recommend the obscure good stuff.
Best VA
>>143473580
In a way it kind of is because it portrays goofy masculinity in a similarly irreverent way, but they're very different styles.
I'm watching turn A Gundam, and it's disappointingly mediocre.
I just finished watching Dominion Tank Police.
I could feel the DUDE PHILOSOPHY LMAO creeping in at times but it wasn't as bad as people say; and it was mostly to create character development so it's OK.
Still very very fun.
>>143473784
that looks franco-belgian as FUCK
>>143473784
Looking at it now, the style reminds me more of a lot of "French" comic artists.
>>143473907
Beat me to it.
Doesn't the way women are drawn look almost identical?
>>143468598
Legend of Galactic Heroes, I'm also reading the book the anime was based on, both are great.
>>143473974
not so much the women, actually.

>>143473907
I have no fucking idea what MP's influences are. He says Mort Drucker from Mad Magazine is his favorite artist but aside from some basic similarities in the lanky proportions for a lot of characters he draws very differently.
I know a lot of people hate John K (Ren & Stimpy guy) and he can be dumb but one of the smartest points he made was categorizing two extremes of cartooning as "conservative cartooning" and "radical cartooning"; not as a "good vs bad" thing (he doesn't see "conservative" as "bad" at all) but basically "conservative cartooning" means simply comedically exaggerating reality while "radical cartooning" means super-stylized stuff that doesn't care for representing what things actually look like but simply making super-loose, fun drawings driven by appealing design and inventiveness.
Mort Drucker feels like one of the best examples of "conservative cartooning", while MP's art fits the "radical" definition. perfectly
>>143471426
Shut your trap you Jovian Scum!
cromartie anime is 13 years old now, is it considered old yet?
'Bout to start watching Space Cobra.
What am I in for?
What do you think of this ?
>>143474274
God-tier anime
Gasaraki, if that counts as "old."
It's pretty good so far, but it feels like the story isn't going anywhere and I only have six episodes left.
The robots are cool, though.
>>143472948
>>143472646
in case you dont get the context for this shit, "hokuto" sounds like "au couteau"(with a knife), so they turned his attacks into stupid play on words. butter knife, table knife, bread knife, etc.
>>143474274
>>143474337
I'd say Joe is god-tier as far as Dezaki goes while Cobra is pretty good. The source material is alright, the execution makes it good.
>>143474289
It looks really cool but I'm afraid to watch it because I know people fucking HATE it.
They also hate the OVAs because "IT'S NOT FINAL FANTASY!!!" even though the atmosphere is totally fitting for something taking place in the same universe as FF5 which is one of the least serious FFs.
>>143474270
Yes. Anything from 2003-2004ish and earlier are considered old.
>>143474407
Prepare for shit ending. First episodes are best.
Still oppening is great and I really like it.
Rune Soldier Loui and These who Hunt Elves.
I am not english speaker so I watch them with eng dub and its actually funny and dub is not bad. Pure comedy.
Orphen is also decent show. Again decent eng dub. 1st season have better stroy than 2nd but still ok.
>>143473630
>>143473270
To add to my wall of text I don't think people who like Bebop but are ignorant of anime would be dismissive of other works that are similarly easily understandable by a western audience and well-executed. Stuff like Lupin I could easily see appealing to a Bebop fan.
Same with Akira. Akira, Bebop, GITS etc have western appeal but they're still very anime in their story content and you can easily say "if you like [thing] you will also like [thing]".
I think "I hate anime but muh Ghibli" fans are much more difficult because Ghibli anime really is its own thing in style and its fans can develop the retarded belief that "if it's not exactly like this it's not good". The only thing you can really recommend to such people is proto-Ghibli works made made by the same main staff before Ghibli existed.
>>143474738
And speaking of old anime, a series that is very anime and yet should easily be liked by the kind of people who like Bebop is Giant Robo. It just didn't air on TV and thus it's not easily found by that aduience.
>>143474738
Yeah but I was explaining why some people put it in their "top 10 anime" lists. it's because they simply don't bother looking for a lot of anime.
>>143474882
Yeah, Giant Robo is fucking great.
>>143474885
That's implying that someone with anime experience can't still find Bebop special just because its execution is really, really high-caliber. I've come across many people on and off of /a/ who went VERY deep into anime and still think Bebop is great.
The only reason it's not top 10 material for me is because I prefer stuff that's looser and crazier than it. It's too conservatively anime-like in style to be super-special to me.
>>143474998
>>143474885
And really that's why people, "normies" or otherwise, list Bebop as a favorite. It's a very, very well executed show; there's a lot of stuff like it but it's generally not as painstakingly well made.
>>143475174
>very, very well executed
only on a purely abstract, look-at-me-I'm-directing level.
Cause I'll be fucking damned in that little cunt was a well-executed "endearing genki comic relief" and not an early example of moeblob shitstain.
>>143475290
Nah; in a purposeful way that creates a very specific and thoughtful type of atmosphere.
I've seen shows that just felt like 'muh style' for the sake of it, Bebop is not one.
>>143475388
Bebop is one.
What you call "a thoughtful type of atmosphere" is just the affected aloofness jazzfags revel in.
>>143475452
Nice try but I'm not even a jazz fan (funk is more fun).
>>143475485
I'm not saying you're one, I'm just saying that you got a taste of what jazz posers masturbate to through Bebop.
Because Bebop is a purely masturbatory show; which is entirely fine, but obnoxious if your tastes don't align with the creator's.
>>143468598
Why does Kei's bangs get me aroused?
>>143475571
You're masturbatory

Nah, it's obviously wide-appeal. America might have liked it more but it's not like it wasn't successful in Japan.
I think you're thinking too much about "the kind of people who like this" instead of judging the show as its own thing and letting it make its own impression on you. I just looked up the upvoted "overrated shit" reviews on MAL out of curiosity because of this thread and they make the same mistake.

And yet now it's considered pretty much the iconic OVA and example of the medium. It's practically dead now though thanks to the internet. I'm actually about to watch a rare one in Cyborg 009 vs Devilman though.
I'm a colossal faggot who fell for the vaporwave meme. What are some aesthetic anime?

hey, Jazzfags aren't the only people who think fedoras are cool.
remember that in the late 2000s, wearing a trilby was mainstream as fuck, so of course it has a wide appeal, but its appeal is based on a masturbatory gimmick.
I seriously went into Cowboy Bebop expecting it to be great and cool and it was even before I'd watched a lot of anime. I found that it was hit-or-miss and I despised its "laid-back but action-heavy" atmosphere, and I gave no shit about the characters because they all look ridiculous without being funny.
>>143476133
You make it sound like a way of life.

the vaporwave meme is cool.

Watch Project Eden.

>"laid-back but action-heavy"
A lot of things could be described this way, see pretty much every Jigen-centric Lupin thing.
Once again it sounds like you're too busy stereotyping the fans to just take it as its own thing but I doubt you'll ever like it no matter what I say. I'm not even a big fan, I just dislike the reactionary attitude people have over it.

Oshii's shit is exceptionally slow, I don't blame him.
>>143476505
I think a little bit of backlash is deserved. The thing I'm trying to get across isn't that it's liked by fedora-wearers, it's that it has the same appeal as wearing a fedora in 2010.
And it's a really dumb, really clunky appeal that requires a lot of leniency to appreciate.
>>143476613
In the anime they always just get scolded by their boss. But in the comics it's addressed very directly and in detail.

the first issues of the comic are pretty ugly but still fun, the early 90s issues are beautiful AND fun, and the late 90s fishlips ones suck.

So, not liking fanservice, pedoshit garbage is having "standards"? Well fuck you buddy, I'd much rather keep my "standards" then be like on of those disgusting autists. And yes, before you ask, I have seen such, and I feel nothing but contempt and disgust for them, and I'll rate Bebops and Akiras higher than that every bloody time.
>>143476925

>>143477388
Oniisama-e is some brutal shit.

I honestly, unironically, fucking love MD Geist, but I wasn't expecting this level of fuckery.
>>143477583
>>143477650
The amount of hate it gets makes me afraid to watch it because I'd likely find it good and end up arguing with everyone.
From what I've seen skimming through it on Youtube seems really edgy but it goes all the way with it so shamelessly it and does it with so much style that it's genuinely entertaining.
The visuals are also fucking MILES above the horribly storyboarded and choppy MD Geist. But I see people claim MD Geist is underrated silly fun and I NEVER see anyone defend Genocyber.
>>143477805
Geist's animation and direction aren't anything special for a 80s OVA but it is fun
I'd say the second one is pretty shit though
What anime is this and any good gun/boobs/blood early?
>>143468895
You should check out Takahashi's other works if you haven't seen them like Dougram or Layzner(pic related here). It would probably be one of my favorite animes. Sweet ass OST, first part is a space horror while the second part is Gundam meets Fotns. It's also surprisingly darker than VOTOMS, even though the MC tries not to kill people.

It might have been understandable to hype up the Akira movie solely based on it being different from American animation back in the 90s, but nowadays there's no excuse.
It's just another butchering of a great manga into a mediocre adaptation, but with fantastic animation and music this time.
>>143477874
>not recognizing this

>>143470726
>>143470994
>>143477870
I didn't watch 2 because I did not like 1.
It actually had some really good animators working on it like Masahito Yamashita and Obari but they were not assigned to well-storyboarded scenes and they couldn't really do much to save what they were given. The color scheme in the final battle was also HORRIBLE and made the fight impossible to read.
I dunno how Genocyber is directed by the same guy, there's nothing in Geist as visually striking as this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJ0fZnsbhUE#t=39m32s
>>143477927
>It's just another butchering of a great manga into a mediocre adaptation
It's a movie based on a very long manga, of course it won't match its depth you autist. Doesn't mean it's a bad film when taken as its own experience.
There's also barely any anime as well-animated as it to this day.
>>143477805
MD Geist isn't silly but it's fun.
Some people defend Genocyber on 4chan and they're entirely right.
Just watch it all, it's seriously a good OVA. Like, remember in the 90s when we called violent and dark and nihilistic things "edgy" not as a sarcastic insult but as praise? It's that kind of edgy.
The violence isn't just there for shock value it has a cathartic, purifying value. The thing is that it's more of a grandiose misanthropic revenge fantasy against all of humanity, than it is a gorefest, so if you like people you probably won't find it enjoyable, but if you share the author's perspective it's really a great experience.
>>143468895
Currently re-watching.
>>143478147
I don't really need to share a creator's mindset to find something honestly executed entertaining. It's just that from what I've seen the way the weird violent shit is executed is genuinely really stylish in a way that MD Geist can't even approach which is why I'm surprised it's the same director. The designs, the colors, the storyboarding, it's all as pleasant as such fucked up subject matter could get.
>>143477901
Metabase?
I'll get started on watching Urusei Yatsura soon. The seiyuu for Lum and Ataru are coming to a Dallas con and I should at least watch some of it before meeting them.

I'm 100% sure you'd have an answer in ten seconds if you'd just google it.
>>143477895
I still have to finish Dougram, but after seeing a bit of it I'm convinced that among the various inspirations for Battletech, it was by far the strongest.
Takahashi can be uneven sometimes, but he probably does "real robot" better than anyone else. It doesn't qualify for the thread, but Flag is one of his most potent works. Starts out weak but finishes hard.

She was the best out of the terrible characters that were in the cast. Aside from the drugs, smoking, drinking, being 15 and hanging out in bars and getting hit on by men twice her age, getting into gang fights very often, skipping school all the time and falling for several misunderstandings in every episode then yes.

ERIKAAAAAAAAA
>>143483257
He went downhill a lot, the original Idolmaster designs are extremely bland compared to his work for Giant Robo and Lunar.
I actually used to think the Giant Robo OVA's human characters looked so good because that's what the manga author's designs were like, and holy fuck was I wrong. Yokoyama was good at designing robots but out of all the cartoony post-Tezuka artists he drew the worst humans by far.

I don't think it needs a BD. Not having perfect image quality adds to its dirty girtty look to be honest.
Space Battleship Yamato (1974)
This is the first time I've ever watched such an old anime TV series. I think I might probably watch more '70s anime later on.
Giant Gorg was a fuck ton better than I expected it to be. Captain /k/ is best character.
>>143477388
TO be honest the DVD quality is pretty good.
>>143483582
I wish more Leiji manga was scanlated; story wise it's probably the same but a lot of his art style was lost in being adapted to animation.

That doesn't look cheap though, it just looks like the animators aren't very skilled. It's very fluid and there are a lot of frames.
