Obscure 80's/90's OVAs

>>134068323
I think the most obscure OVA I've seen is YKK, and even that isn't that obscure

>80's/90's
It'd be better to make this thread during the morning/afternoon. Probably won't get many replies then anyways. The large majority of /a/nons don't watch anime that old.

YKK is pretty obscure I'm sure 85% of this board hasn't seen it.

>>134068323

Try >>>/r/

>>134068979

The fact that 15% of /a/ has seen it makes it not obscure. You have to go deeper if you want to call an ova obscure.

How about Gosenzosama Banbanzai OP, seen that yet?

I'm biased because I'm a Mamoru Oshii fanboy, but it's a pretty neat little OVA if you like experimental things (it's practically a cross between anime and theatre, pretty nifty).

>>134069392

>Now THIS is obscure. That wasn't even available in Japan until recently.

Did this come out on DVD or something?

Not sure what time period, but it's old.

Capricorn. Go watch it. It's basically what a fantasy RPG game SHOULD be.

>>134069463

It's by Jouji Manabe. Might as well watch Outlanders too.

>>134068323

While it's not exactly obscure I think "Ulysses 31" was a great anime from that time. Even though it's half French.

I don't think California Crisis is obscure but it's one of my favorite lesser known OVAs. I wish it had a better quality rip or bd release. Good ost also

I'm almost certain they blew most of their animation budget on that sequence. It's so much more detailed than the rest of the OVA.

>>134068323
FYI Boku no Marie is based on a much longer manga. The OVA was only 3 episodes, of which the 3rd one was original and loosely based on 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?'

Trivia tidbit: The VA for Marie also voiced Asuka from Evangelion. One of her very few voice roles other than Eva.

Good taste. That show was fucking great.

The second OVA episode of Boku no Marie with the delinquent at the end when she looked back and the music cued in was excellent.

>>134069910
I haven't watched the ova but I read the manga some years ago, when I went on a retro-romantic-manga spree.

I expected an easygoing story about a hikkikomori and his ideal videgoame girl or something similar.

Goddamn if I was wrong. I don't know why mangakas enjoyed doing dramatic-as-fuck stories back in the 80's.
This and I''s could very well be fucking soap operas.

I got Combustible Campus Guardress in the same fansub shipment as Idol Project (see above) and I think most of the last season of Sailor Moon (not subbed). I barely remember it, except it's a four-part OAV, there's a really unflattering depiction of a gay Scotsman, there's some exploding titties, and the dude who did Bastard!! did the character designs. I think I watched it every day for a month. It probably doesn't hold up very well today other than the animation quality, if you can even find it. Makes me wish I still had my old VCR.

She probably swings both ways considering how she acted around that man robot with the airplane.

I would say Call Me Tonight but it had a DVD release so it's probably not all that obscure. Still, the premise is hilarious even if the execution leaves a lot to be desired.

>>134069713
I still hold that the second OVA was a major shift in tone from the first, especially with the "Natsuki Special" and the entire thing turning into a high stakes battle. Enjoyed both OVAs but it was unexpected after how grounded the first was.

If you're into minor OVAs you should definitely watch the two Midnight Eye Goku OVAs, it's one of the late Dezaki works too with Kawajiri's direction.

Bretty gud short works with tons of /m/, Dezaki's gorgeuos visuals and really nice action, full of cliches from the time of course but that's great for the nostalgia value.

Battle Athletes Victory was pretty entertaining, although Akari does cry way too much. Akari House™ will live on forever though. Must watch if you love 80s/90s athletic clothes and swimsuits.

Also features insane 'sporting events' such as this bike race—

I wasn't unaware it was meant to be a TV series originally. The quality of the OVA was superb, the premise and execution was great fun and it did a good job of capturing the essence of the culture at the time. While I like the idea, it's one of those cases where I'm uncertain how well it would work in an episodic format rather than the way it was presented in the OVA.

>Don't forget the ED. FIGHTING IN THE DANGER is amazing.
Oh yeah, the second OVA while not as good as the first on a narrative point of view was probably better on pure mecha porn too.
The part where Goku hacks into the factory and creates his batmobile is one of the most gorgeous mechanical animated sequences I've ever seen, the sheen on his car when it slowly comes out of the factory is pure Dezaki porn, should have been censored really.

Started watching Macross Plus, I'm at the third episode. My god the MCs are massive cunts to each other.

That scene had me in stitches when I originally watched it because of the sheer absurdity. I mean, even while appreciating the work that went into the scene and creating an impression of how technologically advanced it was, the end result with him firing the inter-dimensional missile was too much.

The true sadness is how much of a beating that car took. Even if he can replace it easily.

I suppose Dream Hunter Rem isn't obscure nowadays thanks to its surge of popularity on the waves of SHC and finally getting subs, but it's a shame not to mention it at all. It was the ultimate combination of absolutely everything there ever was to 80s OVAs, after all.

I'm loving the cast actually, granted I'm only 20 stages in so far (bought it day one but struggled with moon back then so only picked it up again recently). It's probably the best we could do given the very limited amount of participating companies. They're doing a decent job with character interactions, too. I've been only worried about Higurashi and they are in fact completely irrelevant most of the time, but their initial arc with Aria was absolutely brilliant.

Also, everyone keeps saying Hibiki's like the MC of this, but I feel that in fact Rem and Aria are taking the lead more often than not.

>>134073818
Odd how I have almost the same screencap saved, except mirrored.

What's the most violent ova there is?
Does anything get worse or should I say better than Genocyber or Urotsukidōji?

>>134074028
I think it's more Hibiki is filling the role of every harem MC that's not present in the game

She's definitely one of the most broken characters gameplay wise though

There's a few people itt that seem to have trouble finding links for older shows like this.

bakatbt.me is a semi private tracker, you need to make an account to use the search function on the site and your account is tied to your IP and if you get a bad ratio they kick you. However You don't need an account to use the site or download the torrents, so you can use googles site search feature to do it without a login.

bakabt is all about completed shows too and has just about every older show you can think of, even poorly seeded shows can be quick downloads because of autists who contribute to private trackers and muh ratios. idiots.

>>134073386
Gunsmith Cats also got shorted. It got the OVA, but it was also supposed to be a TV series originally.

Dancouga and it's OVAs are pretty great. Shame the third one has never been subbed.

On second thought I dunno how obscure it is though. I get the feeling people only remember it exists because Wakamoto was in it, and because it pops up in SRW pretty often

Well, they take place at different parts in the manga, the first episode is arguably better in almost every sense. That's mainly because different teams worked on them at the same time. The manga is supposed to be quite good, never been translated though.

As if that many people outside of /a/ and /m/ even know who he is in the first place

Obari didn't do a ton of animation on it until the OVAs though since it was one of the first shows he worked on

Hell at some points in the TV series it's a struggle to call it animated. You can definitely spot his work in the transformation and combination sequences though. For some reason they had multiple versions of those for the same transformations, I guess they couldn't settle on one they liked best.

OVA1 onwards goes full Obari though.

>>134074060
I think people don't abuse Koto enough because she's a complete HP monster with high attack, but yeah, Hibiki's attack boost skill makes her a real killer. Diva is likely stronger, but she's a DLC character so that probably doesn't really count.

I hope he directs another show at some point. Gravion was fun and he did a hell of a lot better job with the second SRW anime than whoever was in charge of the first show and the OVA.

Maybe we'll get an OG Gaiden anime at some point, Obari already did the redesign and choreography for Compatible Kaiser in that game.

>>134074353
I've never not been able to find something on baka, they usually have multiple releases in varying quality levels too.

>>134074413
Well I use both but prefer animebytes. Pretty rare for me to not find something that's not on either.

>>134074413
They tend not to have stuff licensed by Funimation. Which isn't a problem since that stuff is always well seeded on Nyaa specifically because it's not on BakaBT.

The only time I've ever needed to use Animebytes was for some bluray raws no other site had up yet and some obscure manga scans.

>>134074452

Any good blu rays for the stuff, other than really popular stuff like Gunbuster? Cell animation looks nice in HD.

Although likely not obscure, I still think Gainax's Magical Arcade Abenobashi is great. It simply seem like one of those forgotten yet rare gems.

Great OVAs, a lot of fun. Though the end turned into YOU STILL HAVE OXYGEN IN YOUR MUSCLES PUNCH HARDER IPP- AYANE

I'm surprised there isn't more like this and Natsuki Crisis. I'm hesitant to put works like Wanna-Be's and Variable Geo (ESPECIALLY with consideration to Variable Geo Neo) in the same genre but there should be more series revolving around girls straight up fighting. Maybe I'm just unaware of similar works if they exist.

>>134083989
Honestly, cel animation in general seemed like animators actually cared about what they were making. It was definitely more of an art.

>>134087581

I found a Marie VHS in a record store back when I was probably around 10. Good times, way too short but good times. I had a thing for the mad scientist type so it worked in my favor. The manga is still ongoing but it's not nearly as fun as the OVA, but maybe that's the nostalgia talking.

I want another series or at the very least, the manga to be available to buy in English. Something I'd buy in a heartbeat if it got a translation.

If it got remade which studio would you say would be best for it? I can see Trigger doing it justice. I really saw the influences of it in Kill la Kill.

>>134088555
this that manga from the guy in Aoi Hono?

>>134088464
It is slightly better than nothing at all, but not by much.

Most delinquent anime were released as OVAs during the 90s. Unfortunately, all the western VHS market really cared about was marketing gory science fiction pieces.

>>134088937

Yes, I'm surprised none of the manga Shinamoto is available to buy in English considering how popular Aoi Honno was. I figured at least the manga Aoi Honno was based on would be licensed.

>>134088943
That and delinquents were the sort that bullied anime fans back then, I doubt they'd want shows about the sort of people who targeted them.

I might be drunk or very confused here, but I very much remember hearing about how one of the very first things Tomino did in his career was an idol anime. I don't believe it has been subbed yet but if Saizen somehow manage to do it then I'd be thrilled.

I'm not so sure but I might be getting it confused with something, I remember hearing about how Tomino directed an anime that's very different from his usual current themes of depressing things happening to people but nobody has bothered to pick up the DVD to sub.

>>134069836
It's actually based on a Tsuruta Kenji manga, and you might see people mentioning it in manga threads where people have read Bouken Erekitou, Forget-me-not, or Omoide Emma.

>>134088555
So is there a reason why Gainax doesn't list it on their official website? They animated the OVA, didn't they? Why do they refuse to put it on their projects history?

JUDGE is a horror adaptation where the MC gives ironic punishments to assholes and kills them. It has a pretty cheeky b-movie plot, feels like a paranormal slasher flick with tits&violence that you would see in late night tv.

It really isn't nothing to write home about, but the general idea and final showdown (judge of hell and a prosecutor/priest start having a trial regarding the last victim's life) got me hooked,

>>134083132
If you want to nostalgia, fuck no. I rewatched the series a couple of years ago (50 eps + ova ?) and got sick from so much rehashed scenes. Zenki's transformation is cool, but once you watch it 100 times in a row, it gets annoying. Don't expect any good plot or crazy revelation.

You might at best watch the ova (a kind of remake with more adult content, it's a standalone story) or read the manga.

I think it just has most extremes. When they have scenes where they obviously focus on the best animation it is incredible, the detail and shading is ridiculous. That webm of the mecha guy moving his hand around is a really good example.

Digital drawings tend to not have as many quality scenes though, but I don't think you often see digitally drawn anime that looks amazing, the bright CGI effects are never impressive.

There's a couple that do primarily older stuff, but a lot of them seem to split a lot of resources and do some shows jointly.

Ah, dumb me. I haven’t opened bakabt for so long that I thought that it’s another unworthy nyaa clone for some reason.

Only in a very broad sense. There wouldn't be much anime, no matter the era, left to talk about if you eliminated those with cliches and cheese value.

It's kind of annoying to search through, but it is also nice for having a lot of older anime on it. If you want to bypass making an account for it, just google search a title with "bakabt" added.
