I wanna watch this shit so badly, got damn.

;_;

Most of the stuff gets subbed nowadays, and that's also true for classics. When I started posting on /a/, Legend of Galactic Heroes was still getting subbed and the only way to watch the original Gundam was the movies.
Kids starting with anime have it easy, most of the good stuff is already subbed and they get BD remasters when you had to find LD rips with glorious HK subs before.

There's a bunch of cases where finding subs can be tricky, to say the least.
First, very old shows. Classics or not, it doesn't matter. There's way too little interest for that kind of material and it requires ton of work (those shows often have a shitload of episodes). Iconic anime like Astro Boy, Tetsujin 28,... You won't get to see them with subs in your lifetime. Something like Dr Slump is still suubbed at snail pace despite the popularity of Dragon Ball.
Second case, if you're into niche stuff (80's mecha shows or mahou shoujo for exemple), you're bound to find yourself out of luck at some point.
Finally, OVAs and specials can be hard to find if you're a completionist and want to see all the material. It's especially true now that fansubs died and we've got to rely on crunchyshit. Regular episodes are simulcasted alright, but you'll only get translation for the bonus material if it gets dedicated fans to do the job.

I've never found the subs for this, only the dubbed versions in various languages.

While pretty much anyone who's vaguely savvy in animu these days still knows about it, Guyver recently sorta hit that boundary. Up to about the early 10s, Guyver was a fairly popular name with lots of intent to get MORE of it out there.

Then people just sort of forgot, the fanbase never really grew, and the only group translating it require you to buy every volume you want scanlated, which can be anywhere from difficult to almost impossible for some volumes.

As a result, it's sorta just floundering, forgotten and untranslated.

Shame too, the plot's gone fucking crazy in it.

Any mahou shojo that came out before, oh, I'd say probably 95' is definitely niche. Like the other anon said, only real fans of the genre are going to seek it out because unless its Sailor Moon or Card Captor Sakura, the series is too 'dated' for the majority of anime watchers.

I haven't checked up on it in a while, but I think there are only three episodes of the original 60s osomatsu-kun in english.

I know the 80s version is entirely dubbed in portugese because it was huge in brazil. English fansubbers are making their way through the first season of that aswell. It's more likely it'll get a complete version because it has higher quality rips than the original series.

I am having a really hard time in finding this manga about the birth of the rotary engine.
