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

>>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".

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.

Zeta Gundam, it's actually pretty good.

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.

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.

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?

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.

Just started Zambot 3, so far I like it a lot, kind of bullshit how Jun learned everything through his sleep but oh well, I'm expecting things to get dark pretty soon considering it's a Tomino show.

>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

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

>>141690228

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.

>>141695239

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.

>>141694946
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.

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.

I'd like to see BDs for:

Gunsmith Cats

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.

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.

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.

>>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.

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

>>141705003
I pretty much dropped everything I was watching to marathon the entire series.
while the later series aren't as strong as the first one they're still fun for the world building and watching them expand on the relationship.

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.

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.

I just realized I'm not watching any older anime right now. Time to fix that.

Also Gunsmith Cats is fun

Started Ruin Explorers, pretty good.

When I was around 7 years old in 1995 I rented the live action VHS of the PG-13 film, The Guyver.

I loved the cheesy, humorous rubber monster suit battles.

Soon after I saw a cartoon version for rent and got my dad to rent it.

Fucking arms getting cut off, heads getting crushed, blood spraying, and body horror.

I was horrified, had nightmares for weeks.

Never got back into anime until after 2000.

That's just the American release of the BD.
But Sonoda has been up and in with all of AnimEigo's recent Kickstarted BDs, so he may just have the clout to make it happen in Japan.

Watch Guyver 2. It was written by people who had actually familiar with the source material.
And it stars a young Solid Snake.
It's not "good," but it's entertaining in a violent tokusatsu kind of way.

>>141729007
I eventually did, called "Dark Hero" or something?

Different tone to it for sure. Post 2000 I was in my young teen edgelord days and got right into Bio-Boster Suit Guyver (or what ever the name exactly was) and rented all anime VHS. Drew Guyver art and shit.

Got into Genocyber VHSes, that shit was even more over the top goro. Anyone else watch that, can't remember to well now.

This.

If no one is interested to the point of letting the thread die, just let it go. /a/ is not /soc/, I don't want to know what you are watching.

>>141692695
the best thing about these threads is the rareity, you always feel revealed when these pop up once a month or so.

>>141719742
We have shit like Anime Tamago to fill the same niche. I think what you care about is less the format and more the content right? Stuff like the aniexpo make me feel that we're not really in such a drought.

I see a lot of love for Windaria in these threads, am I the only one who didn't really like it that much? I certainly didn't hate it, but I just thought it took some big narrative leaps at times, and I don't feel much desire to ever watch it again.

I'm four episodes into Nadia right now, and for some reason it's not grabbing me as much as I thought it would.
Does it pick up any time soon? They just got on the ship, so it seems like it might speed up in pace soon.

Nadia herself is cute, but kinda bitchy. And these three are by far the best part.

>>141731061
The subplot about the princess and the prince drags Windaria down a bit. It would be a stronger movie if the focus was completely on the traitor dude.

>>141731153
It's a retelling all condensed into a film, it doesn't work and loses all the charm of the show. It's really not worth your time, anon.

Finished Lodoss a week ago and can't stop thinking about it. Slayne best boy. I'm glad he got happy end. Acquiring the novels.

Started but can't continue LoGH. It's good but so long!

Killed all of Slayers.

I want to dl more but bakabt has not been working for me or any torrent hosted through them...probably a problem on my end since their update but I can't be assed to fuck with my client setup. Also can't computer. I'm rapidly exhausting my backlog.

>>141731442
I don't think you're too many episodes away from when the plot really gets going, it has some great episodes through that early middle part. Just be aware that the Island and Africa arcs are filler with a couple of plot relevant episodes thrown in the middle, and really not on the same level as the arcs before and after them.

Already out of space on my 4TB drive due to all the DVD and BD rips I'm keeping of old anime.

>>141731442

Those three are the only reason to watch. Nadia is a royal cunt and the series would massively be better without her. I dropped it...I just can't deal with it.

>>141705003
Why would you enjoy an anime about elven space tyrants Gattacaing up the galaxy, anon?

>>141731556
>I don't think you're too many episodes away from when the plot really gets going,
That's good. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't the only one put off a little in the beginning.

>>141731528
Keep going with LOGH, it's long, but it's fucking excellent.

Imagine the TV series. But with uglier art design, 3/4 the characters missing and just a focus on killing.

I really liked Gunbusters style.
The BD is amazing.

Why is Urusei Yatsura so generic? People told me it is one of the best anime ever made.

>>141735061
It set the standard.

>>141731061
I loved just about everything about it. The OST is fantastic, the animation is fantastic and the characters and their progression is fantastic. Not a lot of people like the ending but I thought that it was very well done and is not something often used.

>>141731561
Well the good thing is that HDDs are becoming cheaper. A good 4TB will run you about $120.

>>141735061

The same way people think Dragon Quest is generic. It established 25 years ago many of the cliches and troupes you think are generic today.

Just downloaded Angel Cop because of a gif I saw of someone getting sniped in the head.

I heard it's about Pinkos getting BTFO so I'm hyped.

>>141735794
it is, but the commies are just the tip of the iceberg

I recommend watching the US dub

>>141735794
>>141735889
I recommend the complete uncut version without any of the edited dialogue.

>>141735889
But the dub removed all the /pol/ stuff.

>>141735889
Watch both, the dub and then the sub to see what was taken out. The sub version gets recommended on /pol/ a lot in their anime threads.

>>141736133
>The sub version gets recommended on /pol/ a lot in their anime threads.
No it doesn't. /pol/ only knows of LoGH and stuff like Code Geass. Whenever there was an autistic /pol/ anime thread, Angel Cop would only be mentioned near the end of the thread or by me.

Even then I'd hardly call it generic. Probably Rumiko's best work, and Mamoru Oshii definitely left his mark on the show. Beautiful Dreamer in particular is among the greatest anime films ever.

>>141736602
I didn't like the TV show but I really liked that movie.

I agree with all you said. Its so sad that Takahashi can't seem to do anything beyond what she already did in Urusei Yatsura. And even then, Oshii's adaptation was 10x better.

Its also sad that KyoAni basically copied Beautiful Dreamer with Endless Eight. But somehow made it horrible.

The elusive bad guys' nationality is irrelevant compared to the colorfulness of the language used in the dub.

Do you seriously derive more amusement from hearing about a vague Jewish conspiracy in an old anime (that doesn't even focus on it), than from all the hilarious lines the US dub contains?

If so, what the fuck is wrong with you?

>>141737370
>Do you seriously value accuracy in your translation?
Yes.

Red Jacket Lupin. It's pretty good. Sometimes the comedy doesn't hit very hard, but I have enjoyed every episode so far. I think the best one in the 15 episodes I have seen is the one where everybody is Zenigata.

Now somebody just needs to sub the BDs for the last half of the series, because I'll get there soon.

>>141737439
Valuing accuracy over entertainment value is not legitimate unless you're doing acedemic research work or someshit.

>>141716283
Holy shit. This makes 2011 look like buttcheeks. I assume these caps are the exception rather than the rule?

>>141737601
Or unless you're trying to watch the actual show instead of someone's fan fiction.

>>141736809
>>141736877
The proper solution is to watch it both subbed and dubbed. Angel Cop deserves it.

>>141737653
Why would you want to watch the actual show over the fan fiction if the fan fiction is superior?

>>141737678
true, but we're debating on which one you should watch in priority.
