>line break instead of punctuation
>no capitalization
Anon, why are you such a faggot?
>>133884931
Yeah because he has dick literally though...
My favorite is probably Urusei Yatsura, but there's a lot of other good stuff too.
I'd like to watch The Kabocha Wine, but the English translation efforts on both the anime and manga are dead.
>>133884957
He's on /a/.
>>133884931
Dirty Pair and Saint Seiya.
It might be Patlabor, is comfy.
>>133889382
It's comfy until those parts where Oshii gets too Oshii.
Creamy.
Jingoru is an amazing asshole husbando.
I love his relationship with the bitchy rival idol.

I love the pastel colours, it's so cute. So much more pleasant to look at than precure saturated colours.
>>133884931
Ashita no Joe 2.
>>133889541
>So much more pleasant to look at than precure saturated colours.
I agree. I also feel that there's a lack of warmth in the colors used in most new cutesy anime.
I've been watching Super Dimensional Fortress Macross recently and it's rad.

This ending is so heartbreaking.
>>133889972
Is Hikaru okay?
Last week I powered through my dad's VHS collection of Robotech (he has the original series, but that's it), and it was actually way better than I thought it would be. It was ugly as sin, but it had really good storytelling and engaging characters.
>>133889972
Make sure you watch DYRL just for the animation alone, I prefer the series when it comes to some things but damn that is one nice movie.
>>133884931
Favourites would probably be Ideon or Votoms along with some others.
Seconding Urusei Yatsura!
>>133888233
are the DP OVAs/TV series any good?
waifu of the century
My favourite is Touch.
Holy shit I have even watched it twice even if it has 101 episodes..but it's so great.
>>133892391
What's with those eyelids though?
Finally downloaded all of Shounan Bakusouzoku, it's fun even though I don't understand it, raws and Chinese hardsubs.
>>133892816
years of drinking
>>133892863
Wait a minute. Where?
>>133892906
It's in two parts on Nyaa, it has Chinese hardsubs and no seeders, it was ripped by ARR and they only seed it at midnight or whatever.
>>133889541
I started feeling bad for Megumi at some point, she got treated pretty harshly.
>>133892872
The heavily outlined eyelids are good for characters with unfocused, dull expressions in general.
Been meaning to watch Macross soon. I've never really been a robot guy, but the premise sounds too good for me to not check out.
>>133893969
I didn't really care for the idol culture to be honest.
>>133884931
>what are your favorite 80s anime
Xabungle, SDF Macross and UY
I hope Xabungle get a BD release someday
>>133899150
I thought it already had one.
>>133892391
Kozue best girl. Maison ikkoku could have used a couple more side character episodes, god knows godai and kyoko were not getting anything done to the point that it actually became almost infuriating.who the fuck proposes by saying I want your home made miso soup
>>133899264
It's a pretty old fashioned and very Japanese way of proposing to a girl.
>>133899458
Must be hard being a japanese waitress.
>>133892347
Late reply, but the series is great. The OVAs are alright.
>>133884957
>capitalization
love this meme
>>133893031
jingoru is horrible to her, and it's amazing.
Post screencaps of 70's/80's anime senpai
>>133899264
>who the fuck proposes by saying I want your home made miso soup
This actually came up during a sociology course I took in Tokyo. The professor used the miso thing as an example of the way Japanese people communicate indirectly. ...though they also said the lower frame rate in anime is an example of Japanese efficiency.
>Kouze best girl.
Most patient, at the very least. I was glad whenit turned out she'd dumped Godai.
>>133899725
> You will never get a Japanese waitress flustered.
not the greatest anime ever, but this one was my favorite and got me into manga
>>133899264
My Maison Ikkoku waifu used to be that JK girl who wanted Godai's D
Name was Ibuki, IIRC
>>133899916
Okay.
>>133901099
Did that ever get translated?
>>133899916
Goto was the best Ranma AD.
>>133884931
Who else is hype for the Megazone 23 BD release in 4 days?
My anime knowledge from basically pre-HD era is patchy as hell and I want to change this so watching this thread very closely
>>133901772
way to go anon!
>>133901742
That better get a rip.
>>133901529
Nope. I'm going through the series raw. It's straightforward enough but a little hard to understand because I lack Japanese skills and know fuck-all about cars.
>>133902017
Damn, will any one even pick it up?
>>133902114
I think I'd rather have the manga done first, but it would be nice if either one got picked up.
I don't see it happening any time soon though unless someone with an affinity for old Japanese cars takes an interest.
Been watching a lot of OVAs lately since it's easier than watching an entire TV series.
>We will never get Stylized OVAs like this again
>The moebius fad is gone, & doesn't show up in anime or manga anymore
>Even OVAs themselves have essentially phased out completely since Japan has no money for this sort of thing anymore.

Has anime been getting better or worse /a/?
I know I could cherrypick a few good shows a year, but I generally don't watch enough modern anime to tell.
>>133901772
The first step is forcing yourself into watching all the classics. Too many people actively ignore old anime without knowing what they're missing.
>>133900128
>the lower frame rate in anime is an example of Japanese efficiency.
& the higher framerate in japanese games is also the same thing. Funny how that works out. american games are almost ever 60fps now.
>>133899916
Don't have many screenshots. Have a gif instead.
>>133899916
>$80 for a VHS tape from the fucking 80s
Jesus christ. What is that in future money, $120? No wonder they could fund this, people were paying out the ass for it.
It's a wonder anyone was into anime back then.
>>133908478
I think most people ended up renting VHS tapes to the point where they'd make just enough copies to sell to rental places for very exorbitant prices like what you see there.
>>133908478
Have you watched that? Is it good?
>>133901968
Has anyone said they'll rip it?
>>133908769
Literally, linked to a review of it a few posts above you.

Is that robot with the cape the one from FLCL?
>>133909906
Mecha with capes have been a thing for as long as the genre has been around. I wouldn't be surprised if astroboy wore one at some point.
>>133908769
Whole thing is on youtube. Find out for yourself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LrHM1ci3e8
>>133910186
no look at the video, he is literally identical to the one in FLCL
>>133910277
Kante has a TV for a head. El Medine has a hammerhead camera. They don't look anything alike, other than kante being kinda abstract.
Just finished Bobby's in deep. That fucking ending sequence, holy shit.

Currently watching dougram.
>>133908478
The ova boom was really special because budget aside, a whole lot of weird and interesting ideas got animated that never would have gotten a chance in a different environment.
Dunno if anime is getting better or worse as a whole, I think it really depends on your taste. I love sci-fi, and its been a long time since a really kick ass sci-fi anime dropped. At least one punch man is pretty cool.
Anyone know if Yamato/starblazers still holds up? Just found out there's a bluray, but it's absolutely huge.
>>133910703
You jerk, I haven't seen Dougram yet. What a badass way to go out.
>>133910703
It's because japan had money. The more money available the more creative freedom. In theory anyway.
>>133908693
I forgot about the rental market, that makes sense.
>>133910820
The bluray is awful. The only anime where you should watch the DVD instead
The show however, is great.
>>133912133
It looks fine to me. What did they fuck up exactly?
