Not pre-2000 exactly but I'm watching Boogiepop Phantom and can't understand what's going on half of the time.

what are some upcoming blu ray releases?
also glad rx came back for g gundam

Started Maison Ikoku. I guess this is the progenitor of all the "single desperate ronin with strange neighbors" anime out there.

Recently, I've re-watched ranma1/2 again.
The first time i did that was when I was 12. About 10 years ago.
I now understand why i have all the degenerate fetish i have.

I've been nostalgia-ing way too much tonight, it's making me depressed.

I watched Macross: DYRL sometime ago and now I can't get the song out of my head. I didn't even like the movie, it was ok, but danm, Ai Oboeteru Imasuka is beautiful and I feel like crying everytime I hear it, yet I can't stop lisening

Mou hitoribochi ja nai~~

I've been watching Space Cobra recently. 8 episodes in and I'm kind of sick of the Royal sister's arc, but I'd say I'm enjoying it overall. first episode was easily the best

plan is to watch every single Lupin episode and most of the movies after this. I've only watched the dubbed episodes from season 2 and a few of the movies, so that'll be interesting. one of my favorites from when I was younger

how's Captain Harlock?

>>153648486

Have you see any other Macross before that? First time I saw DYRL I was kind of lost, but after getting to know Macross more, it easily became one of my top films.

Harlock's fantastic. It might need a BD these days to compete with the other top shows of that era, especially to help out the sound. I don't know how any company ever pushed Harlock in the states without the 78 series. Maybe for Waga Seishun no Arcadia because that's a good origin, but the series explores exactly how Harlock operates and his core beliefs.

>>153648573

I'm very close to finished RoV, like 3 episodes close. I really don't want it to end, that's probably why I put off finishing it for months.

You've got Utena and Onii-sama e... if you need that melodrama itch scratched.

>>153648611
Only watched DYRL, I felt kinda lost too and felt the film was kinda rushed but since its an shortern version of the original tv show I guess its ok. I think you can watch the movie just for the music and visuals but if you want the complete version of the story I think only the tv series would deliver a satisfying story.

Right now I'm watching Macross Plus and I plan to watch 7 afterwards but I have no interest in watching the mordern ones like Frontier and Delta

>>153648954

Watching SDF Macross gives you perspective and background on the characters. DYRL is a compressed version, but it's like watching the ultimate retelling, where you get to see the characters given slightly tweaked personalities.

A Girl in Gaea is the same thing, only comes out worse for wear unless you prefer a more emo approach. But I don't think any film gets the retelling aspect done as well and as fulfilling as DYRL manages.

Shit taste. The OVAs were great especially this episode, the commentary made it even better.

>>153649577
I liked the episode with the bomb defusing and the start of the second half with the military occupation, the buildup of all that was excellent. But I can't tell what kind of series it was supposed to be. It wasn't too much of an action show, no character development, not much drama. The majority of it just felt like it was just watching people... do stuff.

Getting towards the end of the Patlabor TV series. It's definitely my favorite of the franchise.

>>153650910
Already watched DYRL. Although the tv show has a more fleshed out story, you can just watch the movie and get what all was about

>>153651169

Eh, not totally. I think the emotional investment is there once you finished the TV show, enhances the movie.

Recently finished Dirty Pair (all of it minus Flash), loved it. Gunsmith Cats was also really good. Been watching Record of Lodoss War: Chronicles of the Heroic Knight, not sure if I want to continue or not.

>>153651169
They aren't the same at all. You seem to be under the mistaken impression that DYRL is just a copy-paste of the series like the Gundam movies are. It's a companion piece to the original, not a replacement.

It's like reading the wikipedia page for a 36-episode series rather than actually watching it. Whatever floats your boat though.

>>153651328

Did you see the original Lodoss yet? The most I've seen of CotHK is the OP, like 50 times.

>>153651328
Since you liked Gunsmith Cats you should watch Riding Bean now

>>153651264
>>153651337
Well, can't say the movie made me want more SDF Macross, but I think now its worth a look. I was watching Plus just because Shinichiro Watanabe and Yoko Kano are involved, and planned to watch 7 afterwards just to see where all this goes. Can't say I'm a major Macross fan, but its been pretty ok so far, I understand why it was one of the most beloved franchises of otakkus back in the day

>>153650680
Persia, Emi and Yumi yes but also older series like Minky Momo and Majokko Meg.

I would like to watch all the old classics from the 60's and 70's too one day.

>>153651518

That's because they watched the series and it was capped off emotionally by DYRL. The love for DYRL goes beyond it just being any movie.

A lad has the looker for a belle

Since he ain't can confess, he is gifted by Heaven with the girl's candlestick number. Never minding the strange switchboard voice, he immediately calls her, and is in riot to find out that she is mad for him as well.

But, the next day, when he recounts the previous day's confessions to the girl, she only looks at him with a funny face. After some detective work, he finds out that the canary he called is not the same as he got his crush on with. In fact, she aint no even exist in this universe at all. She is the lady's double from the afterlife, who has got all kissy-kissy with the big guy's own other self, who too is unaware of her oozing.

Adventures ensue as the two strike up a deal to give each other their darkest, most private secrets in order to equip the other with the weapons they need to conquer the heart of their other selves. While the two chase their respective crushes, MELODRAMA ensues as they begin to fall in love with each other instead and question the NATURE of PASSION.

Should have started with the OVA. It's not like it's some amazing piece of writing, or animation, but it always looks good and it's full of waifus.

>>153651825
Lodoss's OVA doesn't have much going for it besides good character designs and detailed lineart (at the expense of being actually animated most of the time).

The TV series has a fantastic Ashram, Spark isn't actually as bad of a character as his name and bright blue hair might lead you to believe, and he has a better party than Parn on top of that. The animation is low-budget TV, but it does have a lot of moments where some guest director or animator wanders in and improves the animation for a bit.

That being said you should watch the OVA first.

The spin-off Crystania movie and sequel OVA aren't bad either if you want more of Lodoss's brand of classic fantasy.

>>153646650
The OP/ED of this one is so nostalgic.

If you don't like the good version of the story, what makes you think you'd like the crap version of it more?

Has a good chart come out of these threads yet? Haven't delved much. I'm just watching VOTOMS, Space Cobra, Dirty Pair, and Aim for the Ace.

I have the old /a/ charts, so I suppose I can skim those later when I'm done with my current backlog. I guess it's always going to be limited anyway since fansub groups rarely work on older material.

It almost seems like a standard magical girl show, but it isn't. The slight villains of the week motif only exists to really flesh out the cast. There's also an rpg like nature to the storytelling, with the protagonists moving from point a to b, while leveling up if you will. The narrative seems almost basic, but the overall build up and payoff makes it worth it. There tends to be a shift in style for that light comedic antics once in a while. It's a gorgeous show with beautiful visuals.

Too bad the action choreography is absolute trash. Throwing a bunch of weird shit into the arena doesn't make the actual fight less dull either. Utena blocks for a minute then wins in one attack. Repeat twenty times. It's the weakest part of the show.

If you're gonna make the audience sit through 3-5 minutes of stock footage in the leadup to it you might as well bother to make a decent fight scene.

I'm watching Dunbine. Currently at episode 30.
Great start, great sense of scale of the conflict and one of the most crude Tomino shows, but he reuses too many of his favorite tropes and the middle parts is kinda getting repetitive.
The mecha design is beautiful.

>>153646650

Is that the one where the blobs try and take over Tetsuro and Maetel's body? For me the Firefly girl episode is probably the best in the series tied with the guy who lived on a planet with his own clones but I agree. It's awfully repetitive but manages to make up for it with how interesting each world is they visit.

>>153670069

I enjoyed ZZ except for how rough it was in the first couple episodes and getting used to the tone but you get over those after Moon Moon. I started watching Turn A last night and I'm about 8 episodes in, I'm surprised by how much it didn't feel like a traditional Gundam in the beginning until the actual war started to kick off between the Moonrace and Earth. Loved how comfy the setting is though.

I was enjoying ZZ until last dozen of episodes. It's a fucking mess, it's trying to be Z with joke characters it introduced and its climax is just a repetition of Gryps conflict only if it was 3 sided bickering between 2 sides of AXIS and AEUG derps around like a fly somewhere I guess.

Enjoy Dublin while you can, it's last decent part of ZZ.

Best girl deserves much better.

Speaking about Gundam, I actually decided to check out 0079 for the first time, and found out that there are three compilation movies. Should I just watch the movies or would I be missing out on some things?

If you where in Judau's position would you have dicked Haman and settled down with her to live a comfy live as a househusband while she ruled the galaxy? I know I would.

Sayla's cameo also felt incredibly wasted.

I just watched City Hunter last week after going through the manga. 90s tomboy is the miracle of the universe.

I haven't read Angel Heart yet, but despite having some of the same characters I read it has nothing to do with City Hunter and takes place in an alternate universe or something. So I'll put it on hold for now.

Subbed Shin-Chan is much less humorous than I thought it would be. I watched both super old and new episodes, but they didn't seem much different content-wise. It's kinda boring, actually.
I'm used to the german dub which is vastly different from the original, or at least I think so. I can't remember much, but I do believe it was funnier and also broke the fourth wall (which was similiar to the English dub IIRC).

I went to try Maison Ikkoku afterwards and then just didn't feel like it. The first impressions I got from the characters wasn't even close to what I got from Yawara, I feel like the judo aspect of the series also really makes it far more interesting, especially in the long run because a romcom plot just doesn't work for too long on its own. MI didn't have that extra aspect to it either.

>>153680818
Eh I think it's different with Ghibli films though, they tend to attract more normalfags/artsy hipsters/and families.

I'm watching the Dirty Pair OVAs having finished the TV series. It's great. I really like the dub for the OVAs, it's a shame they didn't go back and do it for the series. I really think Dirty Pair is a better show than Cowboy Bebop, as far as sci-fi anime goes.

I've also been trying to get through Galaxy Express 999 but it's kind of a pain in the ass to be honest. The atmosphere is incredible and they frequently manage to do some pretty impressive Twilight Zone-esque stories in the space of 20 minutes, but the amount of overblown melodrama is just ridiculous. Stuff that's meant to be tragic and deeply moving ends up being outright hilarious - the young couple killing themselves because they were like 20 and didn't want to get any older, the planet where they PUT UNBREAKABLE ARMOUR ON INSECTS and then wondered why they were all dying out, etc. Most of the "doomed planets" they happen upon seem to have really stupid problems which could be easily solved, but can't because everyone's emo as fuck. I know pretty much everything in this show is a metaphor, but still it gets monotonous and draining really fast, can't watch more than like three episodes a week at this point.

Also watching Sailor Moon, but it's not really leaving much of an impression on me. It's fun and the characters are good, but every episode is the same thing happening over and over. I'm not too far in but I'm already sick of watching the same three transformation and attack sequences every episode, and every enemy (what the hell are they anyway? Are they a race of demons who are born and live like humans, or are they just weird magical shit being summoned by the Dark Kingdom people, or what?) being dealt with through the Sailors just spamming their attacks. I know that's just par for the course with magical girl shows, but still, I'm starting to wish the monsters would just fuck off for a few episodes so the show could focus on the interaction between Usagi, Rei and Ami, which is the strong point.

>>153681469
>I finished Yawara over a week ago
I am watching it, wait still for Saizen to release the BDs one by one... I probably won't finish it until I'm old as fuck, but I am enjoying it nevertheless.

Not saying early 00s was good, but there's still a good amount of stuff to watch from those years. Trying to keep up with new stuff and explore older ones is a struggle.

>>153684771
What kind of stuff do you want?

If you just want generic all-genre recommendations, then I don't know how unpopular/obscure these ones are, but:
Galaxy Angel (comedy about an extremely inept all-female squad of soldiers/mercenaries in space)

Full Moon wo Sagashite (shoujo series about a girl with terminal throat cancer gets to fulfil her dream of being a singer, but supernatural shit keeps fucking everything up)

Hikari to Mizu no Daphne (comedy with a bit of drama about yet another all-female squad of inept mercenaries. don't be misled by the godawful costume design, it's not an ecchi show at all)

Maria-sama Ga Miteru (drama at a catholic girl's school about the not-romantic-but-clearly-more-than-platonic relationship between a new student and her older mentor)

Yeah. They're total shit, it pisses me off because the show is a real quality hidden gem but it's an incredibly difficult sell to most people because you have to recommend it with the caveat of "by the way, the cast are almost naked for 90% of the show for no reason so just try to ignore that".

It's TRASH. Watch Touch instead.

Into the garbage dump it goes. He worships women more than Charles Dickens.

>>153685369
Oniisama e is actually better than Joe imo.

Although it's not as good as RoV.

>>153684771
Dai Guard, Brigadoon, Overman King Gainer, Android Kikaider, Juuni Kokuki, Fafner Dead Aggressor, Zipang, Gankutsuou.

>>153686091
I can't think think about Touch without remembering the Aoi Honoo bit on Adachi Mitsuru's abuse of sameface and the fact that even the author can't tell his protagonists apart.

>>153686430
I'd read the manga first, but the anime is very good too.

>>153685585
Just for you Anon, I'll give it a shot.

>>153686091
Maison Ikkoku is a masterpiece, you fucking shitter, the last volume alone is probably one of the best manga ever drawn.

>>153686758
Touch is definitely better though, and was much more popular than Maison Ikkoku.

>>153686710
>>153686641
Not only that, they always have brothers who look the same as well.
Things like this have always put me off from reading anything by Adachi even though I'm interested.
>>153686878
Maybe it was more popular but MI is seminal, it was the first of its kind. As always with Rumiko Takahashi.

>>153686997

Never seen or reach Touch, but I agree with your view, it's always just seemed like a pinnacle work of sports anime, but one in a long preceding chain of other important works, going back at least as far as Star of the Giants.

What would have been influences on MI other than Rumiko herself? I'm not familiar enough with the shoujo/josei work of the early 70s.

>>153687161
>What would have been influences on MI other than Rumiko herself? I'm not familiar enough with the shoujo/josei work of the early 70s.
Dunno. Probably things like Kamimura? A washed up version?
Can't wait to read Dousei Jidai once it's released this year.

>>153687161
>I'm not familiar enough with the shoujo/josei work of the early 70s.
Again, Maison Ikkoku is not a shoujo/josei you mind-numbingly idiotic tripfag.

>>153646650
Get gud.

>>153686997
>>153687161
I'm not sure how influential Ikkoku was, but wasn't Urusei Yatsura the work that essentially invented the romantic comedy genre of anime/manga?

who's the best pre-2000s director

>>153684771
Comedy: Excel Saga, Galaxy Angel, Abenobashi, Azumanga Daioh, Cromartie
Drama: Infinite Ryvius, Boogiepop Phantom, Noir, Planetes
Fantasy: 12 Kingdoms, Kino no Tabi, Last Exile
Mecha: Argento Soma, Full Metal Panic, RahXephon, Fafner

>>153680545
I made one but I made it for myself. Took the BD that is subbed and slapped in the audio and retimed it to the BD.

Incidentally what's the first Adachi's manga one should read? Nine? Miyuki? Or can you start directly with Touch?

>>153688231
Yeah but MI was different. It was more mature, it kept the comedy and invented the misunderstanding bullshit we all love so much.
>>153688011
He was probably talking about the influence.

>>153688524
>>153688011

Yeah, because shounen takes of romance wouldn't have really been a thing before Rumiko stepped in, so I want to know what she was reading 10 years earlier.

>>153686091
>Rowa
Does it get better? Watched the first two episodes and I found it kind of meh.

Just finished watching Rurouni Kenshin. Kyoto arc was really good, but the third season was just boring. The movie was great and the ovas were amazing, but depressing as fuck.
Now I don't know if I should watch Harlock or Utena first.

thanks for the advice guys
i meant 90s tho, i didn't notice until just now that i hit 00s

i used to watch shit on scifi channel back in like 95-96 when they would show anime movies and shit

did you know that saturday mornings, fox showed the first 13 episodes of escaflowne? i have them on a VHS somewhere, it was weird looking back, since they couldn't finish the series for obvious reasons.

>>153689771
I have vague memories of watching anime on TV in my early days. The first anime I remember vividly are Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z, which I would watch every day when I got home from school. Sailor Moon is still one of my favorites. I've been meaning to get back into Dragon Ball (and Toriyama in general) for a while now, but I just haven't got around to it.

It's a Slayers-esque comedy with pretty much nothing in common with Lodoss besides "fantasy setting", so you might as well try.

>>153672287

Don't stick your dick in crazy. Haman's a bitch anyway. A bitch with stupid hair who couldn't keep her space Nazi organisation together when it actually mattered.

I have never hated anybody in my entire life.

"broom" went out of fashion as a hairstyle in UC 0024 anyway.

>>153690298
Harsh.

Do you collect cels? I fucking got outbid on the best cel from Windaria. The very end shot with the tree.

>>153690391

Were any other cels from it available? Windaria and Leda are hot in Japan, yet never really made a big deal of vocally.

>>153690448
No it was just the tree one. But fuck it was massive, I think the cel was 2' by 1'. Great shape too. I am still depressed about not getting it.

How much were the bids? Those tree shots were vital, so I can totally see them being that large, as a background layer, right?

>>153690615
hahaha

i love that no one would notice this
can't angry about it

i'd love for it to be someone doing the fashion column who was into UC too

Why would a company sell off cells? Don't you need those for BD remasters? Is it lack of foresight?

>>153690870

No, the film that the cels were shot to is what they need to keep, unless they even have plans of going back and redoing a scene. In which case they'd just digitally insert that now.

Otaku no Seiza.

>>153685880
There's a torrent on myspleen for it, I believe. Entire gag dub.

>>153690705
I would believe that there was some influence. Fashion designers have taken influences from anime before

>>153690635
They were about $800 but I got bid out even with that. Yes they were the final background it was a zoomed in to zoomed out shot so they were massive.

>>153690994
Is it just me, or does that robot look similar to Gold Lightan? I've heard Otaku no Seiza is like Otaku no Video with even more obscure references.

>>153691513

What other cels do you own? I haven't purchased any yet, but I hope some obscure anime no one else but I can tolerate will surface with cels.

>>153657416
>>153667479
He's right you know.
Patlabor the toy commercial.

What is the most distinctly 80s anime ever made? Megazone 23?

>>153688524
I would read Touch, but go in knowing nothing about the series. It's pretty beautiful, but it sags in the latter half. Just remember, it's not really a sports manga - sports is just a vehicle to tell the story. Also, Adachi is a master at the unsaid - pay attention to the mood and the meaningful glances, and what the characters struggle to say to each other. It's easy to just fly through the series, but you'd be missing out on what makes it a classic.

>>153692588
Definitely Megazone 23. You answered your own question, anon.

How did Mahoujin Guru Guru manage to get a new anime series?

I was the same way. I stretched out my viewing of the Rose of Versailles across two years, more or less, if I recall. Great series! I first heard about it several years earlier than I started, though.

>>153683829
Oh god I regret trying to watch that show. It only gets dumber and more pointless the more it goes on and used dumber and more contrived excused to repeat the same interaction without any advancement.

Why is it that despite the whole high school girl with a delinquent past trope being somewhat common, there are almost no shows that actually go into this supposedly degenerate behavior and just have it act as 'character flavor'. I only know of one actual exception.
