Hot take: Old anime wasn't all that great
Gabriel Taylor

Jace Bailey
On average old anime is way fucking worse. The best works are really great, but all these idiots conveniently always forget the 99% of the awful shit that came out.
Zachary Reyes
Should I watch Galaxy Express 999, or watch all parts of Lupin the Third?
Caleb Sullivan
That's true for any and every era. I will admit that 80's/90's garbage are still entertaining in the "so bad it's good" way Most of it thanks to their dubs.

Finished the first episode of Makai Tensho: Giant Robo Edition. It unironically fucking rules and I'm sad to already know episode 2 ends in a cliffhanger.
Cried rewatching the 'pure white ash' scene a few weeks ago because I'm a fucking dork
Dominic Lopez
You'd expect an adaptation of this type of novel to have the kind of art that, say, Wicked City or the Urotsukidoji manga had... but NOPE. Giant Robo staff reunion.
It's so bizarrely fantastic.
It's good from what I saw

Lincoln Foster
And to get it out of the way: yes I know ADV pretended this was a sequel to Ninja Scroll. No, it's not as well made as Ninja Scroll. Doesn't make it less fun.
I mean, it's based on the book that inspired stuff like Fate and Drifters. While having more bite than those two (and mind you I love Drifters).
Most supposedly awful old anime is some of the best outside of the "buhh Akira, LoGH, Ghost in the Shell" etc stereotypical recs. The only stuff I actually found pretty boring so far was MD Geist and Battle Royal High School.
Have you checked out the 1969 one that Tove Jansson hated? It's wacky as hell and barely qualifies as Moomins but it's still very fun from what I've seen.
Tyler Rivera
I've seen this but forgot most of it. I remember the first episode being pretty cool overall and an unreasonable amount of time devoted to some kids in the second episode. I guess they thought they'd be making more. I'd love to see a full adaptation in like Kouta Hirano's style or something.
Robert Walker
I couldn't understand it
Gabriel Walker

David Jackson
Is the 60s Moomin actually bad? I've never seen it, but apparently it was somewhat liked back in the day.
Noah Davis
It’s super overwrought but I love it too. I think it suits his melodrama really well.
Kayden Wood
I actually really really like seeing such fucked up, dark, sexual, gory stuff done in the Giant Robo OVAs/Lunar style - precisely because it's not what you'd expect it to look like.
But Hirano's style is great too and I'd absolutely prefer it to the type of art that, say, the Fate series has. It's weird that this book was SO INFLUENTIAL on anime but never got a full anime adaptation.
I should check out the Ken Ishikawa manga adaptation too because Ken Ishikawa is fantastic. Probably not translated but whatever, I'm sure the subject matter makes for some amazing grotesque, manly art.

Henry Sullivan
I saw the first few episodes and I loved them. It's not Moomins; it's too wacky to be chill, atmospheric daily life stuff and goes against the author's vision. I get why she hates it. But it's also a fun show.
>Moomintroll & Snufkin go on an epic quest for booze, cuz the former is too young to drink and gets kicked out of a bar. it ends with a village getting flooded in alcohol & everyone getting piss drunk
If this sounds entertaining, you'll like it. If it sounds like blasphemy, you won't.
Easton Roberts
The family is all aware that they are puppets dancing to Maruko's whims, but they go along with it nonetheless and try and take some sort of control but fail in farcical ways. I think the whole thing was just posing a question about how much control we have over our lives which is why almost everything was overshadowed by adverts for big brands like Coca Cola and Kodak.
Outside of that I just thought it was pretty funny and we got some good old nice Oshii visuals.
Xavier Hughes
Holy shit!
Need to read it right the fuck now.
Aiden Martin
It's just a weird comedy presented as a stage play
Adrian Walker
"Anime known for being bad or so-bad-it's-good that is actually unironically above-average-to-really-fucking-good and deserves earnest appreciation" list:
The cream of the crop:
-Take the X Train
The best shit ever if you're a Kanada animation nerd:
-Birth
Skillfully made, fun stuff:
-Genma Taisen: Harmagedon
-Down Load: Namu Amida Butsu wa Ai no Uta
-Monkey Punch no Sekai: Alice
-Pink jacket Lupin
-Golgo 13: The Professional
-Makai Tensho/Ninja Resurrection
-Goku Midnight Eye
Worse than the manga, but still worth watching as it benefits from being adapted to anime:
-Spriggan
-Apocalypse Zero
-Baoh
-Black Lion
-Mad Bull 34 (watch it with the dub, Manga UK may have sucked at serious acting but they did an amazing job for a comedy - also read the fucking manga)
I watched it when I was high off my ass but I know for a fact it had great, pure Dezaki visuals tier:
-Sword for Truth
Not sure if they count, but watch them anyway-tier:
-Cyber City Oedo
-80s Devilman OVAs
David White
>-Take the X Train
Based Rintaro
Gavin Rogers
Oh yeah I should maybe add Metropolis to the "not sure if it counts" list cuz film nerds like it but regular anime fans don't. I hated it when I was 14 because it wasn't like Mind Game or FLCL (relatively more inwardly-focused stories) but instead a sweeping sociopolitical commentary (stuff I didn't think about back then much). I love it now. A cliche thing to say but it really is particularly relevant in the current social climate.
Ian Perry

Not really hated as much as obscure, but if you want a short Rintaro film about Osamu Tezuka's youth and coming of age as an artist, with really kickass Disney-inspired animation, watch Osamu to Musashi right now.

What's up with japs and long legs? Even the guy behind Baki (anatomy autism) does it.

Seen a few episodes of Aishite Knight. It's pretty good so far. Hopefully it won't be ruined by romance drama, but the tone has been fun and nice and enjoyable so far, so even if there ends up being romance drama, I have hopes that it'll remain fun.
Also hope there's cool music in the series, has been a little bit so far, will be great if that's something that keeps happening once in a while.

80s Devilman OVAs (First two and first half of the third OVA), Cyber City Oedo and Mad Bull 34 are legit good.

Do I need to have seen Goshogun beforehand to get maximum enjoyment out of it?
Austin Smith
scirocco's pretty cool, guys.
Dylan Morgan
It can help I guess, but me nor the people I've shown it to haven't seen Goshogun.
It works well on it's own if you just have familiarity with any show that has a rag-tag group of space mercenaries. The angle of the movie is "what happens when these people retire?"
Daniel Gonzalez
That's what the "not sure if these count" section was for; in that Oedo and 80s Devilman absolutely have earnest fanbases, but also people saying they're only "so bad it's good" because of dub memes.
I can barely find earnest Mad Bull 34 fans, especially people who read the manga, aside from people I was already friends with who had the same taste. Mostly see the mind boggling "this is what Kazuo Koike ACTUALLY THINKS America is like!" reaction when it's actually a great action-comedy that affectionately parodies America (well the manga, the anime is JUST good).
Seriously, the anime is underrated but the manga is absolutely hilarious and badass and boatloads of fun. My favorite Koike thing that I've experienced so far followed by Crying Freeman (mostly shit anime that removes great comedy and action, read the manga).One plus I'll give the anime though is mixing together two different manga stories extremely well. But then you also have bad changes like everyone pissing themselves with fear (regardless of gender) and being recorded being replaced with "EEEH THE GIRLS ARE NAKED AND BEING FILMED XD"
Pretty sure the third Devilman OVA was 90s. Haven't seen it yet but it seems like fanfiction (which can be good)
Lincoln Campbell

Totally unrelated to Makai Tensho, but I posted this interview a few days ago. It seems like it went almost unnoticed.
Just ignore the turboautists in the replies.
Samuel Smith
Speaking of Koike manga, Colored/Color of Rage is another underrated thing. Shockingly great black co-protagonist from an early 70s manga written by a man who was already in his 30s, in an age when even turbo-woke guys like Ishinomori and Tezuka still made black people look like anthropomorphic dogs. I guess the "too shallow" criticism has more merit than the "it's racist by 2010s standards" one, and sure, it's not deep at all and ends too quickly... but there's just enough unique Koike charm and soul to make it good and the artist is fantastic.
Hunter Rogers
>KI - I loved manga since I was a child, but I took this decision only after reading the works of Sanpei Shirato.
Started reading Legend of Kamui, further proof the usual claim of "you can't make political statements too in your face or else the work is just preachy garbage!" is wrong - that manga is in your face socialist propaganda and it rules. Same as a film like Seppuku/Hara Kiri (and really a lot of samurai/ninja-type stuff had heavy rebellious proles vs dickbag rich people themes - even this ). It's just done with so much craft, artistic merit and understanding of humanity that you don't have to be a socialist to love it, the same way I don't need to be a capitalist to think Carl Barks' Scrooge McDuck comics kick ass despite sometimes being overtly propagandist in their own way.
I'd love to see Shirato's cartoonier Tezuka-ish stuff get scanlated too though.

Fucking hell, I feel so bad for Ishikawa.
Hudson Rivera
>KM - Your drawing style, while looking very similar to that of Go Nagai, has its own peculiar characteristics. Did you start like that or did you have to imitate Nagai's style?
>KI - When I debuted I was asked to draw with Nagai's style so, initially, I had to refer a lot to the style of my sensei. I still to this day mantain that style, and I think that's why I'm known as the typical Dynamic artist. But I don't mind it: I'm ok with what people think
This just gets worse and worse. Yeah Nagai was the basis for Ishikawa's aesthetic sense but he "drew like Nagai" the same way Ishinomori "drew like Tezuka" both are downplaying their own merits and the areas where they one-upped their mentors (Ishikawa simply drew better technically and had different preferences, Ishinomori was a million times more versatile than Tezuka and also arguably drew better technically).

Dezaki is one of the sacred cows of Yea Forums, you retarded newfag.
Nathaniel Bennett
Anything someone here considers a sacred cow will get completely shit all over by someone else.
Dezaki's direction is not very "current year"-friendly since these days it's all about being chill, self aware, even ironic and not striving TOO hard for emotional sublimity. Even for his time Dezaki was really theatric and dramatic, he took some Joe scenes and made them more over the top than they were in the manga. But that's a big part of why I love his stuff and find it refreshing to watch today. It's "cheesy" in the same way prog rock is which to me just means "awesome".
Bentley Parker
The fact is that as of yet he is not completely shat over which is is because his fanbase is not that vocal.
William Martinez

Henry Thompson

yes Devilman 2nd OVA was in 1990 (Tought you can arguee was done during 1989), the third OVA is from 2000.
Better don't watch it, the ending is awful Instead of the battle between Ryo and Akira, they just face each other, say some lines and Akira walks away... Just dreadful. Crybaby did the ending much better, not so much anything before it tho
Thomas Reed
I get why Ishikawa would feel that way, because Nagai truly was his mentor. I just hate how he's always been in Nagai's shadow, even after his death.
He was also obviously not "Typical Dynamic Pro artist" either but yeah, humble Japanese old man,
Michael Martin
What religion exactly? I think there should be a few

Not only that, the OVA is yet another one of those 'bigass story squeezed into a short run time' things. What I read of the manga was really goddamn funny and I also love how Koike often pushed Nagai to tell the story through drawings.

lads, I just watched Ashita no Joe 2 and it was so perfect. I have the OST on loop. Now I'm thinking wether I watch the first series or the recap movie. Eventually I'm gonna read the manga.
Bentley Gutierrez
GE999 is good but its pace is glacial. It can take a whole episode to adapt a single chapter. I suggest you read the manga instead.
I don't know watch about Lupin.
Benjamin Stewart
Sorry I meant *I don't know much about Lupin.
James Roberts
quick we must defend pre 2000 anime in a Yea Forums thread
Cameron Rogers
So I've been wanting to watch Ashita no Joe but I heard the 2nd season redoes some of the stuff the first one already did and that I should just stop watching the first season at that point and go to the second one. Is this true and if it is, when do I stop watching the first one and just go to the second one?
Tyler Mitchell
Just watch it and don't worry about that shit.
Joshua Flores
Hmm... being pre-2000, thinking of Angel 's Egg only.
You can watch Osamu Tezuka's shortfilm Push, but nothing else kicks my head right now
Robert Smith
999 is great and has a lot of stand out and memorable episodes the problem is it is too formulaic and predictable. Still good though I just wouldn't binge it.
Do I watch Slam Dunk or Touch? I'm in the mood for another sports anime.
Henry Watson
If you want more romance Touch, if you want more friendship, Slam Dunk.
Jaxson Gonzalez
Read Slam Dunk, the anime is pretty good but it's unfinished.
Liam Young
Planning on watching/reading a lot of 70s and 80s mecha. I just finished Zambot 3 and will probably watch Xabungle next. Going to read Getter and Mazinger when I finish the manga I'm currently reading too.

Lina a top cutie.
Joshua Smith
>we
Ian Diaz
Should I read happy! ?
Luis Wood
Woah, don't stop watching the first season. It's pretty odd after episode 60 or so, but it's still a fine way to watch Joe.
IIRC, Season 2 starts at around Episode 52 or so. It dedicated 12 episodes recalling what happened after one of Joe's fight and the subsequent effect it had on him and his boxing.
I didn't read the manga so I may be wrong, but I think after around Episode 60 or so, it diverges and Joe has a weird side story that is the main focus of the story for the rest of the show. It's not mentioned in Season 2's recap, and I think it never actually occurred in the manga. So really, you'd be getting a weird (non-canon?) side story in Season 1 that's pretty useless beyond having more Joe to watch, and then watching Season 2 you'd have to go through 12 episodes of recapping what you just finished (Ep 52-60~).
It's still fine though, watch both seasons and for the love of God don't get spoiled. I spoiled myself on Joe by fucking searching for the OST on youtube.
Sebastian Watson
no. it's not good at all, none of the characters are likable. read pluto or monster instead.
Robert Ward
>I spoiled myself on Joe by fucking searching for the OST on youtube.
Anyone who has consumed enough anime will know the ending to Ashita no Joe.
Eli Thompson
>dolly little the anime
No thanks.
Gavin Flores
I know a tranny that likes this shit, no thanks
Aiden Ross
The ending of Ashita no Joe is literally the first thing I ever heard about it, its too famous to the point where its probably the most well-known aspect of the show to the general public. Besides that though I'm relatively unspoiled.

Easton Jones
I don't have the problem knowing which character dies (This is the site where more spoilered you can get on anime or any other films or shows), but I would not enjoy it if I know HOW it happend its death.
Mason Perez
I somehow managed to avoid being spoiled about your pic related. The only thing I really was spoiled on in LoGH was that Yang died at some point but that's barely even a spoiler imo since I didn't know anything about the circumstances or when it happened.
Carter Fisher
I think it depends on the anime. Some shows have an appeal of witnessing worldbuilding or exploration of themes unfold as they progress, and not being able to experience that for the first time takes away from the enjoyment and intent of the creator.
Thomas Bell
oh yeah, well I agree with that. with certain series/directors I'm automatically assuming from the beginning that important characters are going to die.
Dominic Kelly
trips of truth
Charles Hernandez
I was mainly talking about the spoilers in the show. Surprisingly, I actually didn't know the ending of Joe when I watched it despite the fact I've seen the final image countless times but worked it out through piecing together related videos on Youtube from searching the Joe OST.
But I was also referring to Rikishi's death and, if it counts Carlos' getting Punch Drunk syndrome and other things that happen in the show. It doesn't help that one of the OST's on Youtube was literally called Rikishi's Funeral

There is any 80-90s OVA or film that is:
>not fantasy or mecha
>not style over substance

Besides Ghibli's, Oshii and all of those. I like what Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou (1998) does, as a reference
Blake Diaz

Eli Baker
Does Giant Robo qualify? Atleast to me it ain't style over substance.
Blake Collins

Joseph Russell
Not that user, but I remember last year I started watching Yawara! and finished 8 episodes in the span of 3 months because I would watch them whenever I felt like it, or whenever I had to go somewhere and had time to watch it on the go, but I found that at that rate it would take me years to finish, so I just gave myself a simple goal of watching three episodes a day, and it worked perfectly fine, finished it in a month and a bit.
I did the same for Harlock that summer, and it was also fine which would probably be similar to 999 in tone, there were a few boring episodes here and there but you can usually get through them without being too bored, and I find that three episodes is a good number so you're not burnt out every day, especially if you pace yourself.. You can really fit three episodes into your day quite easily when you think about it.
Joseph Cook
Kon was implied in "all of those", but thanks anyway!
No idea, but i'll give it a try.
I think the "Day the Earth Stood Still" series is the one you're refering, is that correct?
Luis Martinez
They are pretty entry level but my 2 cents
If you accept Sci-fi:
Space Adventure Cobra: The Movie
Angel Cop
Riki-oh (1st ova is like the movie, 2nd ova is crazy territory too)

Hadashi no Gen, Midori, Umi ga kikoeru, Anne no Nikki (Yes Anne Frank)

I watched the Crusher Joe movie, followed by the OVAs. The movie was good fun, but the OVAs were boring and Joe looked and sounded constipated most of the time. The visuals are amazing, I watched the Blu-ray version and the colours and details are beautiful. I do want to know though why Yas thought designing two characters to look like Dozle Zabi was a good idea. I spaced out for a second and spent several minutes thinking one was the other and wondering why he was acting like a mad man.

So I saw that Venus Wars is getting a blu ray remaster (it looks like); anyone know of a list of other pre2000 anime with bluray remasters?

Tyler Richardson
I believe this gets updated often enough. pastebin.com
Nicholas Adams
no but im interested now
Colton Price
Still need to watch that. Not big on Itano's Jack OVAs (the manga is so much better) or Battle Royal High School (just feels like a bunch of seemingly random scenes from a manga strung together) but Angel Cop is at least an original project (IIRC the manga was done later)
Jacob Cooper
>lol 80s and 90s are bad watch 70s WMT
Why not watch 80s Isao Takahata like Gauche the Cellist or Chie the Brat? Unless talking animal friends are too 'fantasy'.
X Train as fuck expressions. Like when he gets questioned near the start.
Christopher Jenkins
Ping Pong Club is one of the 90's greatest hidden gems
Adam Allen
Does someone has pre 2000 chart?
James Howard
Is Burn Up any good, or does it only have a few cute girls going for it?
Grayson Ross
Watch them all.
William Perry
I liked Touch but it felt like less sports more romance.
I always wondered this but what makes the Slam Dunk anime so bad compared to the manga?
Noah Brown

>and I think it never actually occurred in the manga
It did happen, but it lasted like 4 panels, so it was kinda weird.

Ironically a better FF movie than Spritis Within

Only 4 chapters done so far but apparently 5 and 6 are being worked on, and there's just 11 total. The story's nothing special so far, a crew on a spaceship has an accident with a warp gate and gets stranded on a strange planet where they have to survive, but the main character is pretty based and it's great to look at. Pretty retro, even by 1984 standards. Apparently it got adapted to a movie, which was a trainwreck according to the one review on MAL.

>What's up with japs and long legs?
>they have a short leg:torso ratio in real life
>Long legs are their beauty ideal
What part of that is hard to understand?
Jaxon Moore
>>they have a short leg:torso ratio in real life
this part
I won't believe it.
James Garcia
I'm not talking about actors and actresses, models, whatever long-legged pretty people you see in the media. Those aren't representative of average East Asian people.
Live in East Asia and in Europe. Look at pose books for figure drawing with both Asian and white models who are average-to-ugly-looking people, and the average physical difference is very clear. It's well known among Japanese people themselves.
Liam Moore
more people should get into this so it won't be represented by the meme OVA
Lucas Gomez

I'll say them "leglets" on /pol/ next time.

Name some anime you still want in glorious HD.
Despite loving Windaria and Genmu Senki Leda, they do have remastered DVDs out, so the jump from that to BD isn't quite as dramatic as say Lodoss'. Something like Legend of Lemnear, Birth, Weathering Continent, and the various Dirty Pairs would be super desirable, and maybe a real BD for Beautiful Dreamer retaining the original aspect.
Joe really pops in BD. Definitely one of the best earlier examples of how anime was progressing from the 70s into the 80s.
Eli Cook
Genma Taisen is bizarre and probably one of the most hated anime out there, but I think it deserves another shot. Also that reference in A-ko is funnier having seen it.
This movie actually got me into Hall & Oates.
Carson Peterson
The only part that was too stupid for me was the protag's friend freaking out over him having psychic powers. Most of it was legit really cool and had a lot of heart, in the same way something like Cyborg 009 does. The part where he embraces his powers and starts fucking around is fantastic and maybe the second best after the Kanada climax.
It's only considered an abomination in the west. In Japan it was beloved in the 80s, many still see it as a classic, a lot feel it was overrated but it's nowhere near the dismissal it gets from the west.
The most insane thing anglos say is that it's badly animated.
Lincoln Richardson
Spirit of Wonder, it's really close to YKK in terms of tone and feeling. It's kind of nonsensical but unique, reminds me of the quiet moments in Honneamise. I really can't think of anything much like it in anime, it's just nice to have an anime with adults sometimes.
It's one of the worst crimes in anime that a guy with that much talent so early on basically amounted to making that. Windaria and Leda alone are proof of what a great storyteller he is, and they're basically forgotten.
Neat. It already had that Italian 16mm remaster like 8 years ago that kind of works for it, giving it that super grainy and gritty look, but a proper 35mm remaster would overall be better for everyone. It's remarkable to me that a lot of these anime are just easier to WATCH when they're restored. Mainly because it's not 1998 anymore and wowed by anything I see.
Samuel Harris
I think it's missing the Vampire Hunter Ds.
Sadly it's another one that got cropped for BD when it was 4:3. Happens way too often. But yeah, watching it for second time in HD lets you appreciate what the hell is happening. Classic Rintaro because it's beautiful and obtuse.
Joseph Turner
Maison Ikkoku has some of the funniest characters I've seen in any anime. Takahashi is so good

Utena feels like one of those anime that's actually the fantasies of a high school senior realizing that high school is his peak and that everything is downhill, so he decides he's going all-in.

So I randomly watched Nora and it's sequel from seeing a recommendation it was similar to Captain Tylor, and apparently, it just recently became "bigger" in the past month or so.
It's been around since 85, but the only upload I could find was on Youtube last month (which itself was from kissanime) followed by a person who made a video retrospective about it a week later, and then the only reviews on MAL are from the last few weeks, one video has 30k views due to how bad it was. It's kind of odd, because I'm sure the only reason that comparison (to tylor) was made was because of that retrospective video being made.
It was honestly alright though, people seem to shit on it but it was just pretty average, hits the "so bad it's good" category too. Nora was cute, music was lovingly 80's, the retro futurism was cool and there was a plot, but that's about it. Kind of a shame there wasn't more goofy things happening, especially since the beginning was pretty funny.
Asher Ward
Most of them are truly awful, annoying, bad people.
Benjamin Jackson
bones did not exist in the pre 2000 era

>Nora
It's rated badly because there's a whole bunch of scenes where it has maybe 15 fps rather than the industry standard, so some parts of it are really quite bad.

Time Etranger is my favorite anime movie, good taste.
You don’t NEED to, but Goshogun itself is very good too and if you don’t watch the show first you will miss out on a lot of stuff in the movie that won’t make sense for people who haven’t seen the show.

Man Macross is way better than I anticipated. Where do I go after I'm done with it?
Kevin Myers
Pretty much every Macross show after the original is pretty divisive, but most people agree that Macross Plus is good. Afer that maybe try out the other ones to see which one interests you the most.
Zachary White
Has there ever been a manga/anime with a decent take on the western genre? Red seems promising.

NORA is fine (if boring), it's TWINKLE NORA that's gotten everyone's attention.
