Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted September 10, 2012 Member Share Posted September 10, 2012 I know there's some anime fans/experts lurking about here, so im looking for some recommendations for old school anime ie from the mid 80's to the mid 90's...... Im no authority on the subject, but I know what I like, which is mostly geared towards action. Here's what I own so far.... Akira Ninja Scroll Fist Of The North Star Golgo 13 Ghost In The Shell Appleseed AD Police Dominion Tank Police New Dominion Tank Police Detonator Orgun Patlabor 1 & 2 Demon City Shinjuku Goku Midnight Eye Madox-01 Metal Skin Panic Riding Bean Gunsmith Cats Bubblegum Crash Bubblegum Crisis Angel Cop Cyber City Oedo 808 Bio Hunter Dagger Of Kamui Street Fighter II The Animated Movie So... any recs in the vein of those from the "golden age"? Not interested in new stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member teako170 Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Never been into anime myself however I always thought Star Blazers was fun to watch. I have on DVD the first series (first saw on the tube in early 80s) and second series (though have yet to watch the Comet Empire). I know there's some anime fans/experts lurking about here, so im looking for some recommendations for old school anime ie from the mid 80's to the mid 90's......

Member odioustrident Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Our tastes seem pretty close in this department. Have you seen these below? Vampire Hunter D - original Baoh any Guyver stuff Space Adventure Cobra Violence Jack Karasu Tengu Kabuto Wicked City - a little too sexualized but the action is incredible Future Police Urashiman Robot Hunter Casshern Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a ton of titles for me to research there.... M.D. Geist is a top contender for worst anime ever. You only stand a chance in a group, with uh, "potions" to recover damage... Never been into anime myself however I always thought Star Blazers was fun to watch. I have on DVD the first series (first saw on the tube in early 80s) and second series (though have yet to watch the Comet Empire). Star Blazers AKA Space Battleship Yamato is another thing I've heard great things about but just haven't got to yet. By the way, you can find some of this stuff on crunchyroll.com for free, although the subscription is dirt cheap and gives you some better viewing options as well. And by some of this stuff, I mean Fist of the North Star... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted September 11, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yeah, Teak... I use to watch Star Blazers and Robotech all the time as a kid:smile: Odious, I've had my eye on Vampire Hunter D and Wicked City for a while, and i'll check those other titles out. Thanks. John, so that's a pass on MD Geist then... I use to be on crunchyroll, but I haven't checked in for a while... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member John Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 John, so that's a pass on MD Geist then... It really depends on what you're up for. Shows like Angel Cop, Mad Bull 34, Violence Jack, Genocyber, and 'Geist are all critically F minus minus. But that doesn't mean they aren't entertaining, they just fluke their way there. And then there's the Streamline dubs. Are you familiar with the practice of fifteening? You know, how British dubbers would punch-up dialogue with F bombs and the like to make titles more "mature"? It's every bit as amazing as you'd want it to be, and more; not to mention the whole British-actors-feigning-American-accents thing. If you haven't listened to Baoh, Angel Cop, or Mad Bull in English, there lies an adventure before you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted September 11, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Im aware of the ins and outs of anime english dubs, thanks to the informative audio commentaires of Jonathan Clements. And yes, the dubs for stuff like Angel Cop, Cyber City etc. are hilarious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member ShaOW!linDude Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 I suggest you get both the Vampire Hunter D's (I like the story in the 1st one but the 2nd has the better animation) and Wicked City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Cloud Hands Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'm not much of an anime fan, but the Hakkenden series was a very good 90s anime, set in the warring states period. Also enjoyed what I've seen of Fist of the North star tv series, and what I remember of Doomed Megalopolis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Drunken Cat Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Other than what was mentioned before... Record of Lodoss War OVA Project A-ko: Uncivil Wars (Versus Red and Blue) Eight Man After Lupin the Third: Castle of Cagliostro Bastard! I probably can list more, but they would be late 90's mostly.

Member TibetanWhiteCrane Posted September 11, 2012 Author Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Thanks to everyone for their recs. If anyone has more to add, feel free. I'll check in on this thread from time to time. But for right now, I have a shitload of titles to research..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member DarthKato Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 How about these: "Hellsing"- Read the manga and watched the series. Both are worth checking out. "Ninja Scroll"- I have seen a little bit of the original series, seems okay. "Ronin Warriors"- One of the best anime I have ever seen. Most of the other greats have already been mentoned, so I hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member So High Posted September 11, 2012 Member Share Posted September 11, 2012 Voices of a Distant Star 5cm per second Paprika one of my personal fav anime films I think I read somewhere where Nolan gave props to this flick as well. Satoshi Kon is the man I like his other films as well I hope they do his unfished work justice. Ninja Resurection I liked it although I think Ninja Scroll is better still a good flick. Currently waiting on Part 2 of the new Ruroni also waiting on Mardock Scramble the 2nd and 3rd. Outta Series Berserk best series of all time. Hellsing. Trinity Blood Street Fighter 2 v only anime that did the game justice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
