Older Anime Apprieciation Thread

[mirkosp]

I heard of this kawaii sugoi cartoon called Tatami Galaxy, but I think that was last season.

Seriously... People say that older anime are better only 'cause the good recent shows go almost unnoticed whereas the somewhat enjoyable but still barely average shows get more attention than they deserve.

[Qyot27]

Apparently they considered anything from the 90's to not be old. I never understood they're reasoning behind it. ._.

Mayhaps because those shows were new when they started watching anime? It's the same reason I also refuse to call Coolio 'old-school'. My impression of what constitutes older anime is pretty close to Kio's list. Tack Gall Force and Dominion Tank Police on there for good measure and there you go.

Now, had the term actually been 'classic', that describes something other than age, even though a certain degree of age is implied.

Back in the days, most of the animes were based around cyberpunk, well at the least it was a period back then. Also anime was considerably more gorey like 'Genocyber' and many more but I would prefer not to mention them. 'Akira' was one of the best anime movies I have seen because I liked the action and the small doses of humour. I do not know how old the anime 'Spriggan' was but it had some awesome action sequences and higly detailed animation. Hayao Miyazaki's works were alos interesting to watch as well like 'Princess Mononoke'. 'Berzerk' was also a good anime and I wish if they had continued it because the ending kind of sucked. Older animes also appeared to try alot harder than some of todays anime in terms of detail and animation. 'Akira' and CLAMP's 'X' paid very close attention in the building destruction scenes which made those particular scenes look epic.

I'm not sure how old you really want to go but, I sorta liked the Smurf's ^_^ .. .. 0_0 .... X_X !!

Saint Seiya 1986
Dragon ball 1984
Captain Tsubasa 1981 (my first anime ^_^)

80s FTW

[TEKnician]

I would like to thank Dragonball for a standoff that lasted a whole season (i exaggerate...2 episodes), I would also like to thank Dragonball for throwing so many punches in a single episode and not landing a single one, and I would like to thank Goku for his never-ending supply of strength and energy trancending the very fabric of space and defying physics (and logic) themselves.

Because without Dragonball, we wouldn't have had Dragonball Z or GT, or the funny-as-hell abriged crap.

What? No Patlabor? No MD Gheist? No Crusher Joe? No DOUGRAM!?

I'm going to go cry in a corner now.

1989-1999 is not old. Not even remotely old.

Try...

Tetsuwan Atom/Astro Boy
Mach Go Go/Speed Racer
Ace wo Nerae
Rose of Versailles
Space Battleship Yamato/Starblazers
Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets
SDF Macross (the original, none of that plus, seven, zero, or frontier bullshit)
Megazone 23
Mospeada
Orgus
Southern Cross
Gundam (the original, accept no substitutions)
Touch
Miyuki
Maison Ikkoku
Kimagure Orange Road

Also Tokyo 2040 sucks. BGC original is where it's at.

This list. ^^
The highlighted ones especially for me, in addition to Galaxy Express 999.

Also, isn't it about time somebody did a North American release for Rose of Versailles? Srsly.
