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.

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.

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.

It's encouraging. I'll watch it soon, thanks.

But even better than Maison Ikkoku? that seems impossible.

>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

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.

>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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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'.

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.

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.

You know, this series could've been better handled if it was written by someone who wasn't a hack. I actually liked the world design of Konan, Kutou, Hokkan, and Sairo.

I actually want to see a well-written story of the Byakko Seishi. The Genbu Seishi got fucked up unfortunately.

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.

Or the voice for Takamura in Hajime no Ippo. Or the voice for Lisa in The Simpsons.

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.

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.

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.

Remember, animators and writers aren't basing their characters off of real people, they're doing it off of other anime characters.

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.

I know "epic" is the most over cliched word used on the internets but that word just sums up the most "epic" opening song for an anime, ever.

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?

I don't remember the details, but Alone Again, and the other song, were used in one episode before they were taken for copyright infringement.

>>111686193
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.
>>
>>111686005
Judging by that image, he's improved

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.

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.

>>111686669

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.

I had to watch it on double speed. Once they get on the island the plot grinds to an absolute halt. It doesn't pick up again until the last 2-3 episodes.

Not pre-Eva but it's 1999 so I think it fits here. Has anyone seen Sorcerer on the Rocks? I just watched it. It was probably the most mediocre anime I've ever seen - strong 4, weak 5. But my god is it overflowing with nostalgia. The soundtracks, the gags, the plot...it's just dripping with Slayers influence.

Don't patronize me, I 100%'d that game 5 years ago.

Good game. Shit shoujo artstyle, I dunno who could possibly think that it wasn't shit.

One of my Dream Jobs is to make a Dirty Pair online co-op video game series that would have a mission-based story structure like the 90's fighter jet sim 'Strike Commander' and combine it with the effortlessly enjoyable shooter gameplay of the original perfect dark and would also have a very Deus Ex, choose your own tactics method (covert, overt, undercover).

The model for gameplay would be that the game itself would come with several missions and additional missions would be DLC, like episodes of a TV series, and you can play through each mission getting all the available endings, then wait for the next DLC mission.

I got pretty intense with this idea, as you can tell.

/mu/ is shit. I never said that all generals are bad. I even implied that they were necessary to some extent. But generally generals, as they commonly are on /a/, are bad. And for this thread, there's no reason even to call it a general.

His take on Blood was the only good one though. (Should have been a full length movie instead of an OAV. ) In fact the few anime he worked on were all good. Including Black Magic M-66 which was one of the things i saw that got me into anime. ( Also Sybel was damn fuckable)

No, calling cancer retards stops the thread. Cancer is newshits. They stay when they feel welcome. You have to show them they aren't. On the other hand, shitposters and trolls thrive on the hate. You have to know your mark. Ignoring cancer doesn't slow the spread, it accelerates it.

Finally watching the original MSG after seeing the movies ages ago. I really like it, especially the way you have to read between the lines when it comes to the character's relationships. Just from the dialogue Char seemed like a really good friend to Garma but long before the betrayal there were subtle hints that he had no respect for the man and tried to sabotage him quite a few times. I tend to side with Amuro too on the whole "I don't want to pilot" thing, which is really rare for me and mecha but it actually manages to make me feel sympathy for the 15 year old kid forced to kill people and bear responsibility for the lives of everyone he loves basically ever other day

Speaking of Idol Project
http://youtu.be/hMZ3mz9AHQY
That isn't on
>>111689361
Either.
I mean, sure, it's a 4part OVA but Photon (another great classic) Is only 5 episodes as well.

Anyway, Idol Project is cheesy but if you like 90s anime girls and wacky designs, check it out.

If you can still find it.

I disagree, but then again, I'm a bit of an anime John Kricfalusi at times.
Why limit yourself to safe stuff when you have a medium available that allows *anything*.

That said, I do crave more serious shit nowadays.
The moe is too similar now and the serious is now the exception wheras anime started with more realistic looks and only got really far out there in the late 80s and then 90s.

Is Yu Yu Hakusho "classic" enough? It's the oldest anime I've been watching recently

Or at least more Studio4C stuff. Those guys were a bastion of keeping things fresh for the longest of times.
At least their short creations (apart from Mindgame which was amazing despite being long).
So good.

But then again, it's a Masaaki Yuasa thing.
Just like http://youtu.be/3TAF7gZFOco

short but sweet again, not comparable to the actual TV show it's supposed to be the pilot of.

If you're really into old school stuff, this is damn near a requirement. I'd like to see more TV series get subbed, but it seems hardly anyone wants to take on anything beyond OVAs, movies, and other one-shots.

P.S.: part 2 is where it's at.
>>
>>111694927

Kimagure Orange Road was the first show where I cried at the ending. Even if you left out the movie, it felt like it had a nice ending.

The movie kinda destroyed me though.
>>
For older anime, I've been watching Ranma 1/2 since Viz is releasing the blurays over here, as well as LoGH and Utena off and on.
>>
>>111694927
>>111695107

I watched all of KOR back in the early 90s and obsessed over it. But looking back, it really did everything I hate in romance shows today. Not only was every single episode the same plot, a delayed misunderstanding where the main guy was blamed for shit that wasn't his fault, but the overall plot of the show was build on a misunderstanding that should have been solved in episode 2!

Seriously, as much as people complain about newer shows like Love Hina, Boku wa Tomodachi ga Sukunai or Kimi ni Todoke for misunderstandings and delaying the love story...they have nothing on Kimagure Orange Road.

Because without it being released weekly, you're likely to tire yourself out by working on it constantly instead of 2-3 days out of the week.

I liked how it gave us a glimpse of what 80's Japan was like, but the characters got on my nerves at times.
>>
>>111695107
I hated the movie with a passion. They could've handled breaking up Hikaru in a more mature fashion, but nope Kyosuke AND Madoka had to be major assholes to her.

I mean for fuck's sake, he kept stringing her along as a replacement girl in case he couldn't get Madoka.
>>
>>111695820
I agree. As a romance series, it comes off incredibly shallow and even assholish for Kyosuke two-timing both girls. Meanwhile, Madoka is doing this to her childhood friend.

What made me enjoy KOR back in 2003 when I managed to get all of the DVD's was the slice-of-life quality in the episodes and how the greater world of 1980's Japan was like to a foreign viewer.
>>
Where are my Chibo Maruko niggas at?
>>
>>111697650
Long gone, the anime industry and market isn't the same as it used to be. In the 1980's, Japan could afford to be innovative and take risks because the economy was going strong. Though the 90's still had some good stuff going on, but it really reached its death knell by the last part of the decade.
>>
>>111697937
It's a lot like US comic book demographics. Originally, comics were consumed by kids in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's. But nowadays, its main customers are middle-aged people who grew up in those earlier decades. Hence, why comics are geared toward their familiarity with characters and why DC/Marvel takes few risks.
>>
>>111701891
And naturally, anime (and comics, and just about everything else) is best when it takes risks.
Look at Patlabor, Planetes and countless others.
>>
>>111701961
I whole-heartedly agree.

What got me hooked into anime back in 1999 was the fact that it was radically different from US cartoons. Japanese animation was willing to do things that we didn't get here. And there was a greater variety of genres to choose from.

I'm a guy but I really love old school shojo; they're comfy as fuck to watch. Also love mecha and seinen.
>>
>>111694729
It's one of the pillars of US anime fandom in the 90's and 00's. It was popular alongside Sailor Moon and DBZ.

>>111702080
I'm more into the science fiction end of things, Japan has a very different cultural outlook on technology to the west and it comes through quite strongly in its media output.

>Japan has a very different cultural outlook on technology to the west and it comes through quite strongly in its media output.
Some of their viewpoints are in stark contrast to Western science fiction. Like how they depict robots.
>>
>>111702366
It's the general view of technology as a means of improvement, the west has a far more cautious (fearful at times) outlook.

Yeah, it had twisted shit in general but Japan loves drama very much so it has to be included, even if it's pulled from the convenience writer space.

Like in Scrapped Princess or sevaral occasions of Honey and Clover.
