Retro anime

I've been watching KITE lately. Funny enough I found out that there's a live-action movie made.

>>144200409
W-what?

Been Binging Rama 1/2.
Rama and Ryoga are sonic and knuckles to a T.

I watched MD.Geist and it wasn't that good. Worst part was he only had his shades on for a fraction of the first movie and 0% of the last. plan on watching Venus Wars next

>>144200141
Phantom Quest Corps, YUA and Burn-Up Excess are retro stuff I watched recently.

>>144202571
phantom quest corps deserves more recognition

I think I might start watching Guyver.

i heard the anime wasn't finished, is it true?

>>144202636
Oh yeah.

That was a comfy anime. It even has a glorious redhead cake.

>>144200141
Man I need to re-watch that. It's been almost ten years since I first saw it.

>>144200141
Been watching Yu Yu Hakusho because I love HxH and thought I'd check out some more Togashi stuff (and people seemed to like it well enough, occasionally saw people claiming it's better than HxH).

So is the hype around YYH totally nostalgia? Because I'm at the part when Yusuke & co. just rescued Yukina from the kingpin guy and it's pretty boring (except for Kuwabara) so far.

SDF Macross
Minmay a shit

>>144202925
Botan is love, and the two main characters are a lot more fun and interesting than your average battle shounen protag, since they're delinquents.

>>144203025
Yeah the 3 of them are great, I just wish the plot and fights were interesting instead of just "get beat really hard until the hidden power within yourself wins"

>>144203061
Yeah I gotta admit I dropped it shortly after they enter the demon world

but you gotta keep in mind that it isn't meant to be binged on, it's supposed to be a weekly fix.

>>144202925
YYH still enjoyable, not just for nostalgia. Character interactions are the strong point and Yusuke is an awesome protag,

Next arc is the tournament arc, and possibly its best arc. jist wait and see

>>144203648
why the FUCK would ANYONE want a series from the 80s/90s to be rebooted now?

Most of the appeal of retro anime comes from the fact that the artstyle is a LOT better than millenial artstyles. Rebooting them with a recent visual style would instantly remove 70% of their appeal.

>>144203648
This have one of the most unexpected scene that I never seen

>>144203648
First ep was really fun. Good ol' panty fighter fanservice with some badass fighting.

And then the rest of the series just lost me.

>>144203863
Thats bring the questio: why 80s/90s its so good? Can't be shadding and style alone, there is this certain charm to it, but I could never put in words

>>144203916
No, it's the little monkey thing on the left. Otherwise, yes. Making the protagonist female means they could spend even MORE time on fanservice shots of a little girl. Genius!

>>144203938
I think it hurts

>>144200141
0079

It was pretty good, except for the weaker ending

>>144203938
They kill the main character for good?

>>144204051
it's the style

If you're a drawfag you'll understand.
80s style feels strong, healthy, pleasing. Recent styles feel atrophied and constrained.

>>144204172
Only for ten minutes. But the ammount of violence was unexpected.

>>144202925
It's pretty fun but only nostalgia could convince someone it's anywhere near as good as HxH. They're not all that similar anyway.

>>144204317
>>144204317
>They're not all that similar anyway.
Sure they are; both series only have two good arcs.

>>144200409
>>144200907
It's not out yet, but Samuel L. Jackson is in it funnily enough.

Rewatched a bit of Patlabor ova 1. Still love it as much as I did the first time.

I don't know. Reboots are almost criminal.

That said, it might be a case of people just preferring digital animation and coloring to the traditional process. Which I can sort of envision for (and I'm not using it as in insult) people on the autism spectrum who thrive on predictability and uniformity in digital (perfectly uniform colors, cg is always on model, etc) while human flaws and variability are more evident in the details of old animation. Or a generation raised with extreme materialism being unaccustomed to transience and appreciation of quality over quantity. Whatever.

More or less. The plot is different, but has a female Suneo, a love interest that is a less-perfect Dekisugi and Gian is a pervert.

I loved his English dubbed voice in the Manga releases of the first two movies. He sounded like Roy Schneider.

>>144204120
Despite being budget as it is, it was also fairly unpopular. So, from initial 50 something episodes they were cut to 39 and had to fight for extra 2-3 episodes.

Considering above, I say they did pretty good desu, I hate when shows have no endings and being rushed kind of pales to me.

Zeta Gundam. Beltorchika, Four, and Rosamia are fucking awful.

Four is very pretty.

She's like a tiny New Wave diva in space.

>>144208409
That's a good chronological order.

I started watching UY when Animeigo was releasing the subtitled VHS stuff in the early 90s. I'd have loved to be able to watch it like your pic.

you're forgetting colors. the digital process simply allows for wider color palettes

>>144208784
which results in extremely garish coloring

>>144208813
that's an artistic choice, not a result of the technology. they could choose to maintain the 80s look if they wanted to. But I recall some director saying that the colors never quite came out as intended and that digital versions actually reflect their intent much better.

I recently finished Shamanic Princess.
One of the most boring anime I've ever seen. Every episode was a fight to stay awake, and after many of them I just fell asleep when I managed to finish. The last two episodes were slightly more interesting, if it weren't for that it'd be my first anime to get a 2/10 (got 3).
Seems that a lot of these ~6 episode OVAs are really bad, Iria was also one of the worse anime I've seen.

>>144208853
Then it's a result of the technology allowing their shitty artistic intents to realize themselves.

I don't see the point in establishing Jean as some kind of boy wonder fledgling scientist only to have Captain Nemo show up and completely blow him out of the water as a scientist, thus relegating him to useless status in that regard by comparison. It's redundant and unnecessary. A shame how this show ruined the only thing I found intriguing by episode 3.

I love this shit, it's fun and has this old school feeling. Hibari is a bit of a Marysue but then again she's the heroine, it suits the genre.

>>144209796
I'm going to agree with you, mangawise, because the GitS manga made me roll my eyes too much.

Other than doraemon and mojacko
Does this shit count?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDc-wjzdle4

>>144210460
Here's the thing:
The worst entry in the Dominion franchise is Tank Swat 01, which is a CG piece of shit that makes your eyes bleed, but everything else is better than anything from GitS, except maybe the first movie in terms of animation and direction.

On the other hand, the worst entry in the GitS franchise (so far) is Man-Machine interface, which is dumb, eye-rolling AND ugly CG shit that makes your eyes bleed.

So there's really no contest here. You can't argue that Oshii's high-budget photorealism wankery can singlehandedly redeem the flaws that plague the GitS franchise.

>>144210263
>blind drivers
Ehh.. not driverS but A driver.. You have never even watched it
At least you should watch it before you say "lamebeat is so amazingly superior to blind drivers"

>>144210959
No, there's no reason to.
Nothing is superior to eurobeat in a racing show, or even as good.
I'm not saying that as a joke.
If your racing show doesn't have eurobeat in it, it can not be as good as Initial D, let alone better.

So I just picked a lot of retro stuff to watch. Out of the shows that I picked, which ones are the best, and which ones are passable?

I'm assuming you're downloading sequentially and didn't let the download finish.

The OPs and EDs are cut out as separate files and then linked in the episode files so that the respective file plays when needed, saving space.

Set the OP/ED files on top priority and let them finish downloading first. And next time instead of being such a brain dead fool, pay attention and think before doubting.

Space Idol Ideon and Record of Lodoss War. Also, Cyberteam in Akihabara, which one day I suddenly remembered seeing commercials of over 15 years ago and decided to watch it already.

>>144218063
15+ years old is retro for me, but retro anime is more about a certain visual style than how old an anime is. Take for exemple Kabaneri last season, it has this retro look because the put effort on the shadding, visuals and character designs

The 1994 OVA came before the TV series. You should watch the OVA and then go back to the TV show.

>>144219892
if you're fine with the TV series then go on.

it's just that the OVAs are a prequel, and have AMAZING production values. I'm talking rivalling with this >>144219668 production values, so if you start with them, the TV series will look like shit in comparison.

Geass is a nice show, but in comparsion with older /m/ stuff it's garbage.

Depends. There's a lot of both better and worse series than Code Geass in terms of /m/ shows, both newer and older. In any case, the original series is now almost 10 years old.

The original series needs a BD release.
I wonder if there's anything left of the master film reels. It never even got a remastered DVD.

>>144211127
I'll vouch for Takarajima since nobody else did so

Visually the show has aged tremendously well and being an adaptation of western fiction, the plot is guaranteed to be good. Long John Silver's portrayal is one of the better ones I've seen.

The story takes about five episodes to get going and Jim, the main character is an irritating kid though.

I didn't see that list but I'll second Takarajima.
And just about everything else Osamu Dezaki did.
From his works like Nobody's Boy Remi, Rose of Versailles, Ashita No Joe, Space Adventure Cobra, Aim for the Ace! and his 90s Black Jack OVAs and movie.

So who else is doing their yearly ranma rewatch

>>144203648
I'd argue that Devil Hunter Yoko is the most generic anime ever. It's exactly the not quite tentacle hentai panty schoolgirl fighting evil monsters asian cartoon that everyone in the '90s who was only vaguely aware of it thought anime in general was. It's somehow the only thing in existence that captures that to a T.

>>144204042
I'd agree with this. The first episode is this crazy echi parody thing that's entertaining to watch and it's funny to see where it's going. The other episodes are so generic it doesn't matter and it's like watching a watered down version of Sailor Moon with duller characters.

I've been rewatching VOTOIMS

>>144209869
Ok, so that's the gender swapped MC, right?

>>144228791
Sailor Moon gets better the more you know about it. If you've watched episodes 6 and 8 and didn't care for either of them them though, the series is unlikely to offer you what you want, even though it does get more dramatic.

>>144236444
Yep.

I'd still recommend the 1st ep to people who like zany action ecchi show and then not bother with the rest.

>>144236684
I just watched ep 6 now, you're right, it was a bit better. I'm kind of worried by all the "it doesn't get good until season X" posts, but I guess I can stick with it. I'm mostly in it for the directors but it doesn't look like Ikuhara has had anything to do with it at this point.

>>144238470
>I just watched ep 6 now, you're right, it was a bit better.

Great then, because if you'd otherwise only seen up to episode 5 at most and have no other experience with the series, then I'd perfectly understand why you'd wonder why you should bother. I'd definitely recommend you continue in this case. Please don't watch episode 7 and just skip to 8, trust me when I say this is a good idea and you miss nothing of worth.

>>144236473

I'm rewatching Ie Naki Ko, which was a hit in my country back in the days (constantly reran through the 80s and the early 90s) and is something of a cult classic here. Probably my first real tearjerker. Still holds up ok.

So, where does the Evangelion era end and where does the post-Evangelion era start?

I feel like I've run out of adventure anime to watch.

Anybody got any obscure examples? Preferably not really short OVAs. At least Ruin Explorers length. It's painful to get into a good series and have it be over so quickly.

Yes, I've watched Gorg.

>>144208959
Orphen was such a disappointment.

No sense of adventure, no decent action,no interesting storyline, not particularly good animation most of the time, and every character who wasn't Orphen was a completely useless load and either unlikable or incredibly annoying.

At least the OPs were cool.

I'm four episodes into Violinist of Hamelin.

It's really weird to see a show alternate between slideshow picture drama and really good animation with no inbetween.

>It's really weird to see a show alternate between slideshow picture drama and really good animation with no inbetween.

It was common back in the day, unfortunetly. I think this is the worst thing about old anime

>>144244758
I've watched a lot of old anime and nothing takes it to the extreme like Hamelin. It's either no animation or all animation.

Speaking of retro, how come so much hentai crossed the border back in the day?

Shame it doesn't happen now cause the uncensoring is nice.

>>144244101

It's more like :

50s and 60s were a hodgepodge of things with lots of western influence
Heroes and robots were very big in the late 70s(Cyborg 009, Mazinger), with a shift into more serious scifi later on (Yamato, 0079).
VHS started in 1984 with Dallos, and didn't fall off until 1995 at least. 1991-4 were slower years than the 80s but still had the same sort of spirit.
1997 is when late night broadcasting started, which meant a shift to shorter and niche shows. Digital production showed up a few years later, driving costs down and caused a massive variety and volume of things to be produced for a few years.
2009 is where you can see where the economic collapse took a toll on the industry. Innovation mostly dries up, quantity of things produced decreases.
Anime settles in on a mostly stable new model in 2012-3, heavily focused on adaptations of safe material and advertising.

Eva did not really have the influence some people seem to think it does.

>>144244982

oops, meant late 60s - mid 70s for super robots, sentai, toku, etc.

>>144244982

How so? I thought it helped put money back into the industry somewhat?

Just going to go ahead and say it. Shirow's waifus have always been the best waifus.

It's sort of okay. Watch some other Dezaki instead.

Truly the age of integrity in animation.

>>144246210

It did well, inspired a handful of mecha shows, and maybe helped convince some people of viability of more "mature" themes on television (by video/dvd sales as a substitute for toy sales), but didn't change the entire landscape to the degree shows like Yamato or even Haruhi did.

>>144246210
That's what I thought too.
The artistic influence is only a part of it, there's also the influence on the industry, where Eva brought in the money during a dark age. So while it artistically caused works like Brain Powerd and Rahxephon, in also caused (perhaps) Cowboy Bebop and Lain to be made, by bringing in the money.
I've also heard it credited for the shift to late night anime, with reairings of Eva being the first to air late night.

Note that I'm no expert in anime, and this is just specualtion and rumors.

By the way, was the Rei Clone archetype around before Eva? (I know it isn't very popular but still)

>>144248555
Neon Genesis Evangelion lead to the creation of the production committee process that is now the standard for niche anime. That is one of the most influential and important thing ever in the anime industry.

Pinky Momo I think

>was the Rei Clone archetype around before Eva?
No, instead you had the "alien/robot princess" archetype. Which Rei is a parody of.

>>144250062
You're right.
Mimi > momo

How am I supposed to learn about those underrated old shows?

Also fuck this thread for increasing my backlog again.
