What retro OVAs have you been watching lately /a/? I've knocked out Dangaioh, Assemble Insert, and Shin Hurricane Polymer lately.
>>281774587>when you're lusting after your unc and some bitch is screeching in your ear
>>281774587Rewatching Dirty Pair Flash
Ruin Explorers.F@m my waifu
>>281775485I watched Flash and could never fully get into it. It never really hit the same as the original Dirty Pair which I love.
Currently watching Z-Mind.
>>281775569>>281775485They really weren't into feet back then huh?
>>281775569Cute retard that causes trouble for her less retarded yet still retarded friend.
>>281774587Watched gaogaigar final, mellowlink, black magic m-66, second patlabor ova, zeorymer, and rewatched hellsing ultimate over the last 2 weeks or so.
>>281774587MINKU!!Someday well have a full anime adaptation.
>>281775485God that picture is sexy.
>>281775692It's 2025 so your full adaption will be full CG and censored.
Will we ever seen an anime/animation renaissance that returns to the quality of OVAs from the 80's and 90's?
>>281774587watched the MAZE OVAs, they were fun.
>>281777287Not unless the OVA itself comes back.
neo tokyo crusher joe gatchaman X doomed megalopolisprobably a couple more I can't recall atm
>>281775569Ruin Explorers. Fuck yeah.
I've watched Shin Kujaku-oh a while ago.
>>281775485Kino >>281775594They were sometimes
>>281777727nobody makes VHS's any more. They're ONA's now and /a/ avoids them like the plague since they're mostly published on netflix
Gude Crest. Basically fantasy Dirty Pair. Got one OVA/movie. Wish it got more. But it's fun if you want more fantasy stuff from that era
>>281774587I was rewatching Dangaioh recently, mostly for the opening theme. Started KO Beast, and somehow I never realized it was a mecha show. Reminds me a bit of Ryuu Knight so it's up my alley, at least.>>281777727>>281779163It's more about access to easy money anyway. Even if Japan gets another bubble economy, I doubt we'll see the same sort of speculative investment in anime again, so there would have to be some sort of new, likely dubious, funding scheme to prop up the industry. And there's also the issue of taste and market demand that would need to shift if you're after a certain type of look.
>>281779470>Started KO Beast, and somehow I never realized it was a mecha show.I rather like it
>>281775485That Kazooie looking girl is hot
>>281778728Ryoko a cute
>>281774587The genre I miss the most is gory horror OVAs. There's been no real replacement for them in all this time. Closest I can think of is Dark Gathering.
I wonder if we'll ever get an Arslan adaptation that doesn't end unresolved.
>>281779798Anon, the "resolution" of Arslan is the author ragequitting and everyone dies because le depression.
>>281779831I am aware but I'd at least like a version that gets far enough to take back Echbatana. the current manga seems to be wrapping up in that direction but we'll see which way the climax goes
>>281779798it's called Zenshu
>>281778728
>>281779898
>>281774587starting Bubblegum Crisis.
>>281774587This show really should have been longer than 2 episodes. Gives you just enough to get a good taste then ends.
>>281780387Gatchaman got at least 3
>>281780007
>>281779580K.O. Beast is a near perfect example of an OVA>Original story>Short enough to have aa good budget, long enough to tell a complete story>Great artstyle>Doen't end on a cliffhanger, actually got finishedhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_yckblB4HA
>>281781337Speaking of things that meet that criteria, Gaiarth was rad as hell and I wish it was better well known. And had a better quality release, fuck me alive there are far too many OVAs and older series stranded on dated media formats that direly need an HD release
>>281781380Thanks for reminding that I had this one downloaded, I'll watch it after I'm done with Z-Mind
>>281781398It is neat.
>>281774587I want to get into retro OVAs. But every time I try to, all the recommendations I get are like Ogerish videos, and then all the modern discussion around them is exactly how people talked about gore videos on that site. Maybe I want good animation and characters instead.
>>281781413This thread has had multiple quality suggestions. I don't know where you've been reading but you're looking the wrong place.
I actually have a certain fondness for the one off OVA. Even if they don't tell a full story by themselves I think there's something neat about just seeing a set up, some characters and a fantasy world they're in. It's like reading an old pulp story.
>>281781439I'm not sure when 4chan gave more hinged recommendations than major social media platforms that are meant to have stricter moderation. But here we are. I noticed a lot of Tenchi. I love Tenchi, perfect choice.
>>281781552We give better recommendations (when allowed) BECAUSE we're not as strictly moderated. We're not beholding to just whatever is popular trendy or even what sounds NICE. We're here to talk about shit we actually give a fuck about. And since we got at least a few old fucks still around we might know a thing or two about a thing or two.
>>281774587Garzey's Wing
the Ys OVA was pretty alright
>>281775569
>>281782333God I want this on BD so bad. The later DVD is nice enough but I want it.
>>281782333anime boys used to be hot bishies
>>281782347This
>>281777287what the fuck is this cool as shit thing?
>>281782812Side kick wave dangaioh
>>281774587Currently, The Guyverhttps://youtu.be/wz9kv88Ocuo?si=08dVSl94uc2u2mEM
>>281784313She should have had little mouse clothes made.
>>281781380Now there's a blast from the past. It was one of the first anime I watched back in the day when VHS was still a thing. Nowadays, I mainly remember it for the cool whip swords the knights used and it's generally soundtrack these days. The guitar section around 3:20 is still firmly embeded in my mind:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfuDQUyE4Yc&t=200s
>>281784368Meant to write "its generally great vintage soundtrack"
>>281779360watching this now
Been a while since I've watched any older anime, but I when I'm in the mood I continue with an episode or two of Future Police Urashiman and it's a fun romp.
>>281775594Bro... Half of Ruin Exolorers is this catgirl showing her bare feet.
>>281774587I wanted to like Lodoss, but it's really clear how it was just a shit-tier D&D campaign.It's just really, really fucking uninteresting. I wish I liked it because I like the mid-90s style of it, but it's just kind of empty.
Recently watched the Silent Mobius movies and tv series was funny how the final message was that they are an all-female unit because they are able to create life and in the future will have children to raise the next generation. You'd never see a message like that in a show today.
>>281784817the second movie holds a special place in my heart but I deadass cannot remember most of what happened in the show. Originally I just checked it out just because tvtropes mentioned the MC namedrops Cthulhu when powering up her dagger
>>281774587>Eighty's>Ninety'sI forgive you because you posted Deedlit, just know that it's '80s and '90s as shortened from 1980s and 1990s.
>>281781380Goddamn anon are you me? I just finished watching this last night.Enjoyed it a lot.
>>281784849the apostrophe indicates ownership. these works belong to their respective decades. like greg's van.
>>281784971I prefer Greg's hotel.
I haven't rewatched particularly recently, but I'm extremely fond of Tobira wo AketeGenmu Senki Leda is also great
>>281774587God bless the 90's for having high budget ecchi that had nice action and a real fetish for military vehicles.
>>281781380I feel you on that anon, can't tell you how many OVAs I watch that I wish had a proper BD release. It's a damn shame Calfornia Crisis only ever got a VHS release and not even a DVD release.
>>281782346>>281782333I gotta say as far as DVDs goes this has a really good DVD release. Still would love a BD though.
Making a friend watch LoGH
>>281785734The lines here are way better than the scenery.
>>28178497180s = Eighties80's = Eighty'sThis is basic English. 1980s is shortened to '80s.
I'm now convinced nge stole ideas from this one.Pussy crybaby pilot kid - check.Mad scientist raising his "daughter" - checkCrazy master plan boy goes against in the end - checkOverall pretty good but too short.
>>281785734I know nobody was really expecting media preservation or the advance of home video technology back then but it's just a bit sad in hindsight how many things are effectively forgotten to the ages. Hell even finding decent quality images of things can be a challenge on its own.
>>281774587Why do so many OVAs have amazing animation but mediocre stories?
>>281786373most of NGE's inherited ideas are pretty easy to track>Shinji is boy Nadia. Because he's a boy he gets look down on for things that characters tolerated or saw as endearing in Nadia>Gendo is 'Nadia's dad but evil' on paper and visually he draws from Professor Shizuma from Giant Robo and Doctor Tenma from Astro Boy. but he also has archtypal ties to the captain in Space Battleship Yamato who was the inspiration for Captain Nemo/Nadia's dad (along with the original Captain Nemo by Orson Welles)>SEELE are the Neo-Atlanteans from Nadia represented by Monoliths from Space Odyssey>lore-wise, evas and angels are both 'giant warrior gods' from nausicaa. visually and aesthetically, the evas resemble and fight like Casshern Neo Human, in no small part due to much of the combat scenes being done by Tatsunoko>the bridge scenes, launch sequences, OST, OP, and overall aesthetic come from Gerry Anderson's UFO. NERV is functionally the same as SHADO>Rei is based on Lt. Gay Ellis, a SHADO operative on the moonbase in UFO>Kaworu is Satan/Akira from Devilman>Instrumentality is inspired by the Ide in Space Runaway Ideon>Second Impact comes from the planetary devastation in Nausicaa and Future Boy Conan>the aesthetics of the angels and all the cross imagery comes from Ultramanalso mention to Laputa Castle In the Sky which is the memetic link between Future Boy Conan and Nausicaa
>>281786752Because shorter run times mean they can better focus the budget but also means they don't have as much space to develop their plots. And what do you even mean by "mediocre" stories anyways. Most of the time they do exactly what they set out to do to a pretty decent extent. I swear the internet has turned every dullard with an opinion into a critic who wouldn't know a story if a novel smacked them in the head.
>>281786752because they were mostly made by a bunch of animators pooling their spare cash and much of the time none of them had any experience writing before
>>281786852>Orson Welles*Jules Verne
>>281774587i really hated that ashram didnt team up with parn at the very end
I watched Legend of Lemnear.>>281786373 Anno is a mediocre writer who makes up for it by being a great visual artist.
>>281787721God now there's my kingdom for a bluray
Im watching Captain Harlock for the first timeAlmost 10 episodes inIts very goof
>>281787960That was wild
>>281787960I meant to say good by the wayBut you knew that already
>>281787960Ye, I watched Harlock for the first time myself earlier this year. My only previous exposure was the CGI movie so I was surprised at how the main focus was Harlock's invisible war rather than actually being space outlaws. I was also surprised to find out Queen Esmerelda is actually her own character in the setting. I'd seen her movie at some point and just assumed the idea was she existed in an AU timeline where she was Maetel if Maetel became Harlock, so to speak
>>281788075Leiji likes to toss a lot of his characters around all over the place. They show up in Galaxy Express as well.
>>281774587this month: Project Ako, MD Geist, Angel Cop, AppleSeed, Baoh the Visitor
>>281788849the Ako bds are nice
>>281781380I used to have this on VHS.I really should watch it again. It's been so long, I remember them more from Scramble Wars than their original OVA.
Rance - Sabaku no Guardian>>281787960not technically a OVA but still good. its funny how much of that show is about a little girl getting bullied
>>281789712>I remember them more from Scramble Wars than their original OVA.I remember that
>>281789722is it true that Mayu is an anime only character and that Mastumoto disliked her?
>>281790421I've never heard anything of him not liking her but she wasn't in the second series SSX. Which is okay. Here's La Mime.
>>281790421checked the manga, she doesnt seem to be in it>>281790904my wife
>>281785967it looks like the guy behind the ship has giant tits
>>281781191>>28177548530 years ago, Pathetic japanese hikkimori men would spend thousands of yen on this art to jerk off to in their sticky little 90's japanese apartment. Jap dudes just jerking off in the dark to vhs hentai on their fuzzy CRT tv's in the darkness. Gooning for hours to the same 3 vhs tips of 2D anime women. Holy shit what a life.eat cheap ramen noodles. after to refuel. Holy shit based what a life.
>>281774587>What retro OVAs have you been watching lately /a/?Rayearth
>>281793567is that Dilandau on the right?
>>281793929That's four door sedan
>>281774587Bubblegum Crisis.
>>281775485I like Dirty Pair, but I can't help, but feel thats its one of the most overrated anime of all time.
>>281787721Actual sin this beautiful piece of animation doesn't have a BD
>>281774587I've been learning how to recognize vampires.
>>281787721A lot of OVAs had a similar dynamic. As I remember, Zeorymer isn't even that great to look at because the animation is so limited. It's one of those shows that looks better in stills.
>>281790421Yep, it's true. He didn't like the inclusion because it made her the main reason for Harlock caring about Earth, instead of him seeing the good in people and believing that everyone could become a better person.>>281791171Man, I love Miime so much. She's such a beautiful person, and her voice is pure ASMR to my ears.
Speaking of the Leijiverse, I'm almost done with Galaxy Express 999. I know that I still have the movies and specials to look forward to, but I'm not ready to reach the final station yet.
>>281800161It's a shame that they didn't keep Maetel's design from the first episode. I get why they make her look older in the later episodes, since it fits way better with her role in the story, but she looks so pretty in that first episode, and more in line with Matsumoto's style.
>>281800294>more in line with Matsumoto's style.For comparison's sake.
>>281797087Same for Plastic Little.
>>281775652>MellowlinkI rewatched this recently too. I like revenge stories.
>>281774587Mezzo Forte & A Kite
Is there any sort of compilation or list of all the OVAs that got a BD release?
>>281774587I want to suck on her ears
>>281803573>BD "remaster" just upscales and sharpens a 480i DVDrip
>>281783389Word of advice from someone who just finished this series, don't even bother with S2. The animation budget gets dropped to $0 and it's just a choppy ugly mess to look at.
>>281802914I liked that one a lot, my favorite episode was either the leaning tower one or the finale.
>>281804026It really depresses me how so few people care about actual video quality in their video format. If it's not cropped to fuck to fake widescreen it's denoised to hell. Disctotek puts out some okay releases but they're one company but nobody else cares because they don't think the audience will care and the saddest part is they're right. People will see bars on the sides or top and botton and lose their damn mind.
>>281774587Area 88. was absolutely sick
>>281804468Just watched this one a week ago.
Watch Nightwalker, it started out a 4 episodes long OVA, but a TV producer liked what he saw enough to turn it into a 13 episodes long show so they used the first 4 episodes originally produced to be OVAs as the show's first arc and then produced 9 more episodes with a TV budget so the show would be 13 episodes long, I'm just saying this because while the show takes a HUGE fall in terms of quality after episode 4 they didn't tone down any of the blood and nudity the OVAs had surprisingly enough so the episodes produced for TV still have gore and tits
>>281779580>>281781337After checking the credits it's no wonder I thought of Ryu Knight, Ito Takehiko was character designer for both. The credits for KO Beast are kinda nuts, Ito (who also did Outlaw Star) is co-creator with the guys behind Saber Marionette J, among other things. It's a team-up of standard-bearers of the 90s. A certain type of standard anyway. Especially V-Darn, I don't think you'll find a Human (elf) who looks like this in another decade.
>>281805044Speaking of vampire stuff, the Master Of Mosquiton OVAs are pretty good, too bad the TV anime is straight up shit, avoid that show like the plague and stick to the OVAs only, I had never seen such a drop in quality between OVA and TV before
>>281804468Man I'm trying to find a decent release of this. The seemingly only two options both suck
>>281774587>>281781795https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geywIlbq_1chttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3hReIxHAb5Qdespite being a glorified videogame commercial. Armed Dragon Fantasy Villgust got some good shots. quality work.and a toy commercial with animationhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2rcwUzRUx8
Watch Mahoutsukai Tai!, it's a fun magical adventure with a cute loser as the MC.
>>281805580I tried playing the NES game. Its odd. OVA is fun though.
>>281805245Cute butt
>>281806209what about the snes game?
>>281806331Never touched it. I saw it looked like some Isekai thing were some Japanese highschoolers show up to join with the Villgust characters and just had no interest. This was back in the SNES days were that shit wasn't turned quite so shit so maybe its okay.
>>281805044The opening theme was pretty good
>>281805729Always felt Ikuko Itou just about hit peak 90s design with these girls.
>>281806247Yeh
>>281791987MEIOU
>>281791987 Man I haven't thought about Hades Project Zeormeyer in a fucking LONG ass time.
True, but the MM'99 OPs, especially the first one, remain some of my favorites.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LDGgqzXio8k
>>281806938I think about it often
>>281806764Too bad the TV series is such a downgrade.
>>281805245I wonder how a undead butt smells like
>>281808460Such is often the case
>>281808538This is adorable.
>>281808636It's a pretty cute series.
>>281800161Recently finished it myself. How did you enjoy heavy melder?
Garduation was a short OVA based on the raising sim of the same name. It was a somewhat charming series about a group of girls pondering life and what they want to do once they move out into the world.
>>281808847Which turns out is piloting giant robots because it got a weird, yet entertaining, AU spinoff called Sailor Victory in which they did just that. SRW when?
Add another one for the desperately needs a BD list. Do you ever really worry that old media isn't becoming lost so much as it becomes forgotten? Studio fire catches and all the masters are lost? That's one thing. Things just become drowned in a media flood and nobody even cares, that just depresses me.
Nothin' Impossible
>>281808534Probably not very good
>>281803502Kite was one of the times that I stopped fapping to pay attention to the story.
>>281798738Zeorymer moves a fair amount, they throw in some cuts that are stills and pulled cels between fully animated stuff, its just that the layouts and timing often are functional but not that interesting, and the choreography is a lot of blasting beams back and forth. 45 booruable cuts for a 4 episode OVA isn't slideshow tier.https://sakugabooru.com/post?page=1&tags=hades_project_zeorymer
>>281784849>>281774587I've loved that intro Adesso e Fortuna, and the ED Kaze no fantasia for so long. Those songs, but especially the OP hit me in a way I just can't describe. I just feel an inexplainable longing. Probably comes from being 36 and never having been on a date or kissed a girl maybe,fuck if I really know though....
>>281804468area 88 has my favourite soundtrackhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBvYQsx42QA
>>281810206>>281810222>>281810234the ova and movie 1 are so nice. i need to continue watching the tv series
>>281779470Money isn't the issue, industry revenue is the greatest it's ever been. OVAs at their peak budgets were around 60 million yen per hour. Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Arc exceeds 23 million per single 22 minute episode.
>>281775652>black magic m-66Based and good animation pilled
>>281806764I liked hearing Tomoyo voice a turboslut

>>281810206Optimal tomboy. Still unsurpassed.

>>281799940To me it seems like Harlock loves bothMayu gives him a personal tether due to being his godchild and best friend's daughter>>281810717I want to sniff the base of her tail
Okay guys help me ID two OVA:1. About a guy who grows two mantis-like scythes from his arms.2. Cartoonish mecha show with furry protagonists vs human characters who are racist against the furries, with one of the humans’ core character concept is "beauty".
>>281814838Second one sounds like a plot from Little Tail Bronxhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cN0flaDk7j0
>>281810783Correct, it’s the competency crisis. Talented people no longer work in the industry.
>>281814838>About a guy who grows two mantis-like scythes from his arms.if he was blue and protecting a psychic girl it was Baoh.
>>281814838Is 2 KO Beast? It's been mentioned a few times here
>>281810538Because it's fantasy in the purest most sincere form. Genuine love of magic, elves and dragons with no irony at all.
mighty space miners is space kinotoo bad they only had 2 ovas
>>281784771I feel the same way.
>>281816175>>281784771You're both idiots.
>>281783389>>281804148Yeah, I didn’t even bother with the second part, largely because it’s clear it falls apart due to the fact that they used up the zoanoid five too early and were highly important to the story up to that point >>281788075It’s even funnier with that mindset she’s maetal’s sister
>>281775569For me it's IhrieI would marry this woman in a heartbeat
>>281815879OMG that’s it I can’t believe I forgot the name. Had in VHS back in the day.
>>281775569I just finished watching this, I love it so much. I am reading the manga, its kinda different but I love it too. I even drew Ihrie along with some other studies but I plan on drawing more of this style. Is there anything more like this? I need to watch Record of Lodoss Wars. Something about characters, and their "gritty" looks and that magic system where its a full world but magic isnt OP, and their heavy chest plate armors is just gets all the right itches for me. It makes me wanna do my own Ruin Explorer manga.
>>281808813I thought it was a solid three-parter. It made the Lejiverse feel interconnected, provided some cool background information about the Cosmo Dragoon, and I liked the way it utilized the whole time-machine gimmick to show us the events of the first episodes from a different perspective (which truly makes you feel for Tetsuro), which also served to reinforced the theme that the choices we make are what define us as individuals.
>>281816931Slayers will keep you occupied for a good while
>>281816931Cute Ihrie
Pauldrons are the key to all of this
Why is this board so obsessed with Ruin Explorers? It was a good OVA but nowhere near its near-ubiquitous smothering of retro threads suggests it is.I know it's just one or two really fervorous anons I just wish they posted it a little less
>>281798738The animation is good. It's just that most of the robots are slow and bulky.
>>281817452Because it was a good OVA. That's enough. This isn't something difficult to process.
>>281817523>It's just that most of the robots are slow and bulky.that's the best part. The robots feel BIG and not just from scale. I like a lot of mecha shows but you'd be shocked how often they don't really carry a sense of weight.
>>281817452after watching it last night i can confidently say that it's head and shoulders better than dozens of other sword n sorcery OVA's of the same period. every OVA is a gamble on if you'll just walk away feeling like you wasted your time or not, and the more duds you see the more you appreciate everything else
>>281816931Looks like Ruin manga guy just did one manga in 1992 and that's it. The rest are just oneshots practically. Weird.
>>281817685It tells a simple story but honestly it's practically a master class in economic story telling and pacing. In just four episodes it manages to introduce all of it's characters, give them stand out personalities, manages to bring them all together, turning rivals into genuine friends in a way that feels organic and subtle and have a satisfying pay off. Even the villain gets a moment where his fall to the dark side feels sympathetic without trying to justify it. It's just good. You could probably edit together into a single movie it feels that tight.
I am once again shilling Photon.
>>281817452I want to fuck that cat/monkey girl so I'll watch it next
>>281818000
>>281818010
Another ID request. OVA shounen based on the concept of slave-like (not literal slaves iirc) combat. They fight in this ancient crubled arena.
>>281818183Shadow Skill?
>>281817452This reminds me I need to watch Yohko tv series.
>>281818010Be sure to watch Yamamoto Yohko afterwardsThe OVA, the TV series is dogshit
>>281778434So animes like these (and langrisser) are the source of pauldroncore, like in 40k/wow?
I have been watching the original Urusei Yatsura series, one episode a day, for the last few months, and I have finally reached the point where they changed studios. I wasn't expecting them to reanimate the scene from Episode 1 where Ataru steals Lum's bra. It's amazing how much the art style improved over the course of the show. It looked so rough at the start.
>>281780387Hold on... mezzo?
>>281775485I remember jerking off to this picture when I was a teenager
>>281819467Same character designer, Yasuomi Umetsu.
>>281819528>Yasuomi Umetsu.God.
>>281819437I'm not really sure what the real progenitor is. it goes back a good ways. I think it might have been from video games like sorcerian needing to exaggerate things from a limited sprite.
>>281775569I rewatched your waifu's show last week.
>>281774587Watch "Relic Armor Legaciam".
No Golden Boy love?
>>281821850OH YES!! Certainly a good deal. Though in general it seems like a lot of these kinds of threads largely attract genre fags.
>>281816054I wonder how influential this show is on later Japanese video games, anime, and manga, especially isekai.It would be crazy to think about, but what if Deedlit is the reason we have Kuroinu?
>>281822172>I wonder how influential this show is on later Japanese video games, anime, and manga, especially isekai.Quite literally every elf in every bit of Japanese fantasy media was in some way shape or form trying to rip off deedlit.
>>281816670Second part?All i can say is after guyver 1 and 2 destroy cronos building the animation quality takes a riki-oh second ova tier nosedive, the fight with enzyme 2 and the lost guys looks bad, real bad like the 2005 series bad.
I’m watching Gundam Zeta now so I think I’m going to watch Gundam OVAs soon.
>>281821850Big fan. I was happy when they announced the BD release recently, but then they showed how it looks, and it completely turned me off from buying it. It sucks that so many OVAs from that era get the same AI upscale treatment for a number of different reasons.
>>281819572This mf will never make a "hentai with plot" again
>>281779377P-Polnareff!?
>>281779377well if that doesn't we can watch hellraiser instead
>>281775485
>>281823220that's not how breast tissue connects to the torso
>>281795507I didnt know the uk got its own dub for this complete with british accent.
:there are actual hentai scenes in Violence JackThe fuck? More OVAs like that?
>>281823307what are you, stupid?
>>281775692
>>281800161What would you do with your life if you could live forever?
>>281823340?They literally showed blowjob and penetration.
>>281817452Its that fucking good. I've watched it back in the 90s, and can still watch it today with the same kind of awe inspiring joy what it felt like to get into anime for the first time.
>>281823284For u
>>281822172It's not the show, it's a novel series based on an RPG campaign.I wonder what happened to Japanese writers, since I haven't heard of any successful novel in the past 15 years.
I liked Ranma's OVA's design the best
>>281777723Never watched but always liked TV opening. Someday I will get to it.
>>281823450
>>281777723one day people will find that movie
>>281774587Sol Bianca. Very unique sci-fi aesthetic.
>>281777723>>281823510>>281823579The uncensored show is only available in LD quality, the animation company apparently lost the original masters so the Japanese home media releases only have the censored version of the show, you can still find it easily on sites like Nyaa but in LD quality only, the OVAs are available uncensored in HQ tho, the movie is still fully lost but someone found the soundtrack and uploaded it to Youtube like a year and a half ago dunno if it is there still
>>281823450>>281823559I feel like the OVAs and movies gave Ranma slightly bigger boobs
>Yeah, I'm such a retro anime fan! I watch so many ovas and movies, teehee~~! 90s were truly the best decade!!!! fr fr on god!! no cap! I love retro!!everyone itt
>>281819346Based, the OVA was great, the TV series was fucking awful, also that OVA ending theme "Shake It" was really catchy >>281805245Many such cases
Low quality bait. (You) but not directly.
>>281823777>"Haha I'm going to go onto the internet and make enemies with people who share my interests while I simultaneously inject literal gallons of ONIONS directly into my shriveled testicles!"
Watch El Hazard, the original OVAs are the best version, but the first TV series wasn't bad they removed the nudity but they focused a lot more on being a wacky over the top comedy and the soundtrack was great (the OP themes are really catchy), the second TV series isn't as good but they brought back the nudity so there's that
>>281783330Looked up the intro on youtube. Downloading it right now. This looks super awesome.
>>281823825>the TV series was fucking awfulI never watched it. I saw one luck at the character designs and didn't even bother.> ending theme "Shake It" was really catchy Yeah it was.
>>281823912
>>281823893Struck a nerve, cel teen?
>>281823352Cute
>>281823912Alternative World was weird. A lot of plots just kind dropped and rushed to the end. I imagine their were production problems. Still not every day you see someone get double isekaid. Jinnai is the best character.
>>281823689>"It ain't perverted if 2 girls touch"
>>281823933Her VA died last week, RIP
>>281824026It's been a rough last.....decade
>>281823988Based
>>281823644Cute elephant
>>281781191
>>281824042fuck...
>>281822614Fuck... I've wachted it over 20 years ago and I'm still dying laughing. Sex really is the best joke. Also Kintaro's face after the fact
>>281822172 here,>>281822270You mean just back then? Or even now? I know Yujii Horii and Dragon Quest were in the 80s,and so was Final Fantasy, but the Record of Lodoss War OVAs were based on the RPG replays and later novelizations of their epic DnD campaign. I know they released novels, but I can't remember when the last one was....>>281823406I'm well aware the show is based on the RPG replays, and novelizations as I just told anon above. I was simply wondering how much Japanese media is ripping of Lodoss and in turn DnD in creating their fantasy stories. >I wonder what happened to Japanese writers, since I haven't heard of any successful novel in the past 15 years.You mean the Lodoss ones? Or some other kind? If you mean novels in general then you haven't been looking. Haruki Murakami has had like 3 or 4 very successful novels since 2013. The author of Welcome to The NHK just released a remake novel last year. You probably think no Jap winning the Nobel in literature= no books.
>>281823933I do miss this. There were titties in Zeta Gundam and 08th MS Team, but now Gundam feels sanitized like all the sexiness is gone.
>>281824577>You mean just back then? Or even now?I think it might have fizzled out a bit in the 2010s but it was for a good long time in any case.
>>281824627Is it true Kuroinu girls are all based on Queen's Blade characters? The only girl I like from that is Menace, so I wouldn't be able to spot them.
>>281824685Couldn't tell you. I never much got into either
>>281817452I'm more of a fan of Fortune Quest myself (just the OVA though). It's very on the nose with the nods to Wizardry and tabletop games though, so I know it's more of a niche thing. A bit like Dungeon Meshi, now that I think about it.
>>281824577Parn and Deedlit is a romance you will hardly see, if ever at all, anymore. If only because the guys writing that knows how to make a good romance.
>>281817452>just because its good doesnt mean its goodfuck off.>>281817452>one or two really fervorous anonsthats me, f@m my waifu since I bought the ADV Films DVD
Really surprised no one’s brought up Iria yet.
>>281786852>Laputa Castle In the SkySpanish dubs of it are hilarious
>>281818028>>281818000I really like this series, hate the MC, but the last episode just feels wrong and bad.Goes from a solid fun 8/10 to a 5 or 4, if I had to score it.
>>281824788This was my first real anime.
>>281824193Ryoko a cute
>>281824624Even the Gundam TV shows had nudity back then, but I agree they could at least do some OVAs with nudity nowadays
No mentions of Words Worth?
>>281824788I have known about Iria for decades, remember watching trailers in old VHS/DVDs.... but just watched it recently.It was..... OK I suppose. I'll still buy it to support Discotek, but man, I expected more.
>>281824962wasnt that the "your resistance......." rape joke horse?
>>281825024It was that indeed. But I tell even the porn used to have more effort. You see a lot of now and it pretty much skips it's premise entirely and just focuses on the fucking. A fantasy themed one or sci fi is just so much cosplay.
LD master race chads stand up. I mean there’s really no point to them anymore besides nostalgia because even the very best LDs were DVD quality. But man I loved the big boxes with the big inserts, such a nicer collectible format.
>>281825234This is one of the things that bugs me about blurays. the cases are so.... in inconspicuous. A VHS tape or a DVD box set? Those jump out. You could be across the room thinking about something else and then think "Ah I want to watch Slayers again."
>>281824685Ah, OK.>>281824775Yeah, it might’ve been weird but I really wish Laios and Marcille would’ve dated in Dungeon meshi at the end. I really wanted it to happen for some reason. I know there’s a book 100 years after Lodoss war with Deedlit as the main character, do you know if it’s ever specified if Parn took her virginity?
>>281823920Just watched the first episode of Dangaioh. What a quintessential 80s experience. 11/10 visuals and designs, but almost no coherent plot, that also jumps from place to place in an instant. Loved the sudden character change of the professor, which gave me saturday morning cartoon feelings. The minor antagonist has one of the most laughable motives ever (I just hate you), which actually is in conflict with his main goal of being a badass space pirate. But at least the stakes and factions are now clear. I expect ep 2 and 3 to be a bit more stringent.
>>281822270Deedlit's the reason every single anime elf has stupidly long ears.
>>281824788One of my firsts was Dominion: Tank Police
>>281824951Yeh
>>281825901*enchanting long ears
>>281825826Spiral knuckle into tears my preferred one out of the three.
>>281825826>I expect ep 2 and 3 to be a bit more stringent.Not really, lol
>>281823777>>281823955
I like the Oh My Goddess! OVAs, but the music is mediocre.
>>281825901disruptive innovation!
>>281826252
My round wife
Watched Akira for the first time last month.Liked:>the soundtrack>the goddamn fantastic animation>the heartbreaking relationship between Kaneda and Tetsuo Weak points:>the resistance subplot ultimately going nowhere>the military stuff could have been better pacedFrom the start, Tetsuo was presented as the weakling of the gang, but as he discovers his true power he is corrupted, to the point he lashes out against his own friends due to his deep-seated resentment. Meanwhile, you have Kaneda who is now starting to understand the kind of person Tetsuo always has been but can't possibly stand up to his power.The ending also got me for that very reason. Seeing Tetsuo lose control of his power and finally realizing that he's fucked up beyond repair while Kaneda tries in vain to help him despite everything Tetsuo did affected me more than it had any right to. Not to mention the scene where Kaneda sees Tetsuo's memories and discovers Tetsuo's long-standing feelings of respect and resentment was powerful, at least to me. When Tetsuo is finally taken away, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the poor bastard.
>>281827389
>make Darkstalkers ova>have Felicia and Morrigan appear right in the beggining>the story is actually about fucking Donovan, a character no one cares about or plays, because he is not in Vampire Savior
>>281775692>dick saucerWas this a dub thing?
>>281827501It was based on Vampire Hunter. Savior wouldn't be ought for a while. And it gave a good chunk of time to Hsien Ko
>>281827610Yeah, she's lame. Gimme anyone else from the original cast instead.
>>281774587Damn can't believe an OVA thread went on this long without Tetsuwan Birdy getting mentioned. Peak OVA right there, too bad the TV series is fucking dogshit.
>>281817452Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's much more than one or two.
>>281827466Looks like they're drawing backgrounds on paper instead of painting on cels.
>>281828322They do. Backgrounds can get reused to they're don on paper. The only thing done on cel is the stuff that has to move. That's why they're on transparent cel.
>>281817452I watched it last night too and it's great. They made a lot of changes compared to the manga that were for the better as well.
Has anyone mentioned Outlaw Star?
>>281828720Yeah Galuf had a much larger role in the anime. It's still an interesting read and does a few unique things of it's own. Wouldn't mind seeing lyle's snake girlfriend animated though.
>>281827549That's his name in the original Japanese. Dikku Sousaa
>>281828769Also Rasha gets naked
>>281774587I really liked agent aika. rion best girl
>>281827927was birdy the mighty a transsexual hero?
>>281824624>>281824951I liked Kiki Rosita, she cute
>>281828723Aisha a cute
>>281829348I know at least three transgirls IRL that had Birdy as their eggcrack moment
>>281827549>>281828773SOOOOOOOSAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!
>>281829819Based >>281829241The first OVA series was great, the rest weren't as good but still had plenty of good fap material
>>281774587I recently saw the two Silent Mobius movies from the original 90s. I plan to go through Angel Cop again soon.Also, I recommend the Ninja Scroll OVA especially cause of the based hot scene about 9 or 9 1/2 minutes into the movie.
>>281830257Silent Mobius has always been a favorite of mine, even the TV series non ending, but if there was a series that might actually benefit from all this remake business this is certainly one of them.
>>281774587i actually watched the first episode of master mosquiton ova last night, gonna watch some more tonightoverall i like it, qt girl mc and chad vampire
this is like the mid-point of ffv&ffvi, in regards to the likes of advanced vehicles becoming commonplace
>>281830751I like it. It's got a wonderful art style and it's a shame people only remember the glowing butt. Even square seems to rather disown it
>>281774587I just gave Midnight Eye Goku a watch and I recommend it. First episode has a satisfying little arc and is some well animated Cyberpunk fun. Even has a nice looking BD release.
>>281830808>Even square seems to rather disown itbetcha not as much as Spirits Within by a large margin
>>281830808>>281830751i remember panchira, lots of.thats it.
>>281830926they put a "fuck you I like it" in life is strange about only one of the two, and it wasn't crystals
>>281774587i've only seen one OVA and it was Roots Searchit wasn't good.
Utsunomiko is my fav OVA series
>>281831584Crystals didn't have the notoriety nearly-killing squaresoft into bankruptcy
>>281798421Get lost
>>281809432>shamanic princessi NEED a new film scan for this so bad
>>281823352I wanna lick those armpits.
>>281823352What a slut
>wanted to check OVA>0 seeds on NyaaAre all obscure OVAs on private trackers?
>>281810222I recognize those phone booths!
>>281810222
>>281832092they'd be your best bet yeah
>>281832206sad day
>>281832092Translated ones should be on streaming sites.
>>281829845I want a crazy catgirl
I watched The Weathering Continent and it was quite bad apart from some decent backgrounds but I'm quite enjoying exploring that era of new age folk chamber pop music like Akino Arai, Aria, Escaflownewill be watching Cockpit and Golgo 13: Queen Bee soon
I liked the Shin Cutey Honey OVAs
>>281832593I thought it was spiffy. Nice mood. Pretty to look at. I wonder if a lot anime fans, younger especially aren't very familiar with pulps.
is there a consensus on essential Galaxy Express 999 episodes? I'm curious but I'm not watching 100 episodic sodes https://youtu.be/L8Jn-P8aqCw?t=358
>>281832796>I'm curious but I'm not watching 100 episodic sodesThen watch something else fucko.
RG Veda ova was alright I suppose but a proper fuller adaptation would have been appreciated. One of Clamps earliest works.
Recently watched Angel Cop, it was hilarious, I was laughing through the whole thing
>>281833365I will always remember it just for the "FUCK AND PISS" and banana lines from the youtube video that was making fun of the dub
>>281827466Let us not forget EXTREME hard-working sweatshop work ethics far worse than already excruciating current digital animation sakuga rut sustained this cel-animation. 80s Japanese asset bubble positivity kept the style going, but after it collapsed, it was a matter of time. I am 100% sure and many Japanese guys attest that the workers in the 90s were the most suffering people in the industry.
>>281833763were animators getting threatened with an industry blacklist if they didnt shit out several good cuts in a day?
>>281833763Outsourcing the suffering to vietnamese animation sweatshops isn't quite the same as improving working conditions.
This is the best "not dirty pair" show that sadly only has 2 ep. But its really fun and i love their outfits, especially their really modest thong
>>281833784You say that because you are a Westerner. The Japanese collectivism and its pre-modern virtue made them work no matter how grotesquely the upper guys exploit them with the ethics and they wilfully accepted it, it was a different time. East Asians and those who happen to know this culture will understand it. Of course it doesn't work anymore.
>>281833956so in essence you're saying its simply always been like that, and if anything, it was worse before
Space Family Carlvinson. There will never be a full Anime.
Kennel Tokorozawa. They literally tried to make a "comedy" bestiality Anime.
>>281834353...did they succeed?
>>281834353is this the one where the dog is constantly getting his balls bitten by other dogs and otherwise trapped in things?
>>281834369No,otherwise we would get more Dog x Octopus stuff. Also, Ultimate Teacher.
>>281774587All rewatches, but:>Mad Bull 34>Wild 7>MD Geist 1 & 2>Angel Cop>Cyber City Oedo 808>Genocyber>Golgo 13: Queen Bee (plus the film)>Gunnm>Black Magic M-66What else do I add to this list to round out the month? I am split between Youma and Black Lion or the Violence Jack series.
>>281834384No, the dog molests his Schoolgirl owner then gets tentacled by Octopus.
>>281834408Is that motherfucking Madoka Ayukawa?
Angel Densetsu
>>281774587I know it's from the 70s but kekko kamen. I like exhibitionism
>>281834525Just one of the 80s Heroine archetypes. Not even same Mangaka.
>>281834016Not shit talking the Japanese and the East, the tradition is good. But the thing is, the surge of neolib culture swept the entire world including China in the 80s, so after the Japanese asset bubble collapsed they took desperate measures and exploited the workers accordingly. The tradition couldn't defend them or match the rapidly changing society so the defenseless and clueless workers including cel animu industry assblasted by that, same old story around that time.
If Moebius made an Anime: Dragon's Heaven.
TFW you're such an asshole everybody dies.
Kyuukyoku No Chef Wa Oishinbo Papa Kingmenu - contains Penis cannibalism
Eguchi Hisashi no Nantoka Narudesho!Contains Homophobia, Racism and Ephebophilia
>>281833877I remember almost buying the first volume at a bookstore on vacation in the mid-2000s. Would've probably gotten away with sneaking it down my own suitcase as we drove to the town by car, too.
>>281834820Kek
>>281834839In the Anime, that guy also has AIDS
>>281834913He's very clearly a shot at Freddie Mercury
>>281832602
>>281834913There's two, brothers in AIDS. They are a symbol of Japan's sexual opening to the world.
>>281834668This one was really fun. The "miniature" version of the mecha from the opening they showed off at the end of the video was cool as fuck.
>>281835195Surprisingly the IMDB rating was 6.4/10. Unfortunately artsy stuff like this rarely pays off economically. I wonder how many people outside of France even know Moebius, let alone in Japan.
>>281834978Cutie indeed
>>281775485Absolute peak old school sleaze anime. Crap by any other standard, but something everybody should watch anyway.
>>281834913
>>281832796Every episode is essential.
Currently watching the Vifam TV series. It apparently also has 4 OVAs, which I will watch after
>>281806764This show was fucking tight, I completely forgot I watched this like 15 years ago. Thanks for reminding me, I'm redownloading it right now. Also the magical girls from No More Heroes always reminded me of them.
>>281806764Still getting new fanart to this day.
>aired in 2000Does Fooly Cooly count as a 90s OVA?
>pic related>>281827927The S1 is not bad. S2, well its one of tyhe prime examples of QUALITY off the rails. It hurts so much.>>281829348no, its tiresome that some of your people tries to retcon ancient media just to justify their life decisions.>>281825234>You are under arrestthe series gets weirder in its late stages, but its one of the series that reminds us of simpler and happier times.this series along with Patlabor are such jewels.
>>281816969Soul overload
>>281837234Haruko is the original Quirk Chungus
>>281835252A lot of OVAs tend to have a middling 4-6 score from what i've seen. I guess they don't have enough ADHD pacing for zoomers.
>>281834540OVA is 1990s
>>281837234digital, so it's more practical to see it as 2000s
>>281838462no that's Amelié
>>281836550And there’s apparently ANOTHER tv series back in 1998 which is an interquel, vifam 13
>>281821850Noriko was the best girl. Fight me.
>>281824788Most beautiful woman in all of anime.
>>281827927I always thought she looked weird in the OVAs compared to the 2007 anime.
>>281834530>Angel DensetsuI'm surprised this never got a full adaption, its a great manga.
>>281834704I really really hated this movie, everyone in it was a fucking retard and a complete piece of shit.
>>281817685Sword & sorcery is Conan shit. Barbarians, wizards and old gods, ice and fire. Ruin Explorers is fairly standard high fantasy. Two different things.
>>281835252>>281838932There's a huge recency bias in regards to most review aggregates. Unless it's something mega main stream even the best OVAs will hover around a middle of the road review score. No appreciation for classics these days.
>>281840640>Barbarians, wizards and old gods, ice and fire.Ruin Explorers has all those things
>>281840640I'd still call Ruin Explorers Sword and Sorcery. High Fantasy tends to work on a grander scale. Lodoss would be HIGH fantasy because it deals with wars between kings and nations and a world threatening plot. Sword and Sorcery is more personal. Quests for personal wealth and revenge. Maybe there's a large scale in the background but the plot is more character driven.
>>281840967look at how cool Ganondorf is
>>281840967I'd also argue that high fantasy has more dignity and operatic melodrama was SS tends to err towards mucking about in the blood and filth just trying to survive while dreaming of actually having something to show for it one day
>>281841173I don't know if I'd say that's a prerequisite as much as just how both tended to go. Conan is brutal as hell but the stories themselves can often be very poetic. Though that might say more to REH's writing ability.
>>281829348No, because that unpersons one of the two people who combined to give her those options.
>>281841717nah, the orthodox argument is from identifying birdy as both a role model and a possible future self, the kind of woman that is everything tsutomu wants to be, and explores the relationship between feelings of admiration and feelings of envy
>>281834820It's obscene to add a warning.
lizards.
These were the coolest thing ever.Just IMAGINE if they had completed adapting the original manga run in this. The fights are incredibly detailed.
>>281842736They’re monitoring this thread
>>281774587Last week: Otaku no videoThis week: Bannou Bunka Neko-Musumehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F6jmZhwUwJA
>>281774587Bari Bari Legend and Shakotan Boogie
>>281843980Possibly the best anime of all time.Otaku no Video is pretty cool too.
>>281843980Nuku Nuku a cute
The best OVA ever is ANGEL'S EGG
>>281844685>Not Ningen Kakumei
>>281844685>ANGEL'S EGGThere is no plot. There is no sense.
Between Nuku Nuku and Aisha who's the better girl?
I get why, Angel’s Egg doesn't have a traditional plot but it's more like a dream or a poem. Where the meaning comes from the imagery, the silence, and how it makes you feel. It’s not supposed to ‘make sense’ in the usual way, but to leave you with questions and emotions you can interpret for yourself.
>>281844640Agreed
>>281786373trashgelion is just an ultraman reference including the bible shit mixed with zeta gundam, ideon and zeorymer aniways.trash from TV to the movies.Hideaki should have usign his self insert writing in movies instead of anime.Yes he is a frustrated movie director.
>>281845061Who is Aisha?You mean Arisa?
>>281826337>>281826552informations noted. Will start the second ep. now. Wish me luck, anons.
>>281845822A few points:- Pai Thunder is pretty cute- the plot of ep. 2 really was more coherent- the 10(!!) minute recap of ep. 1 was almost more satisfying than the real thing, just because your imagination could fill in the gaps that made no sense- I really like the soundtrack- Pai Thunder is really cute
>>281834668which torrent on nyaa is in best quality? Or should I just watch the fan remaster on youtube?
>>281847040Always go for the bigger file size
>>281774587recently watched Riding Bean and Gunsmith Cats and had a lot of fun with both. Was also planning on watching Zeorymer and Dangaioh afterwards, but ended up putting them off since a friend also wanted to watch them
>>281846994ep. 3 was pretty good too. Looking back on ep. 1 it would have helped if there weren't three story lines cramped in it. Probably a bit unplanned by the studio, but the open end has a nice bittersweet feeling to it. Prof. Tarsan ;_;
>>281847939I’ve mentioned this in previous threads but apparently this audio play of sorts is the closest to the story continuing past the events of episode 3https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vgzp5065d5sAlso on note was kinda dissatisfied with them dropping Cross fight (one of the greatest super robot songs ever composed) in favor of the typical 80s ova song that’s unrelated to the story and starts with “let’s all go get drunk”. Yeah I too liked dangaioh, don’t watch great
>>281847939Shame that episode 3 is just an upscale since the 35mm film was lost for it.
>>281848081>audio playnice. Thanks anon. This is just the right thing after finishing the last episode.>dropping Cross FightYeah, that was pretty bad decision. The godlike opening was what sold me on watching Dangaioh in the first place. Though I'll be honest. While I was pleased with it, if it were 30 years ago and the OP would have sold me in the more literal sense into buying the OVA releases, then I would have been somewhat disappointed. Especially with the first episode.>>281848241Ah that's the reason the batch had that one just in DVD quality. What a shame to hear. The visuals really were outstanding.
I watched Black Magic M-66. It was pretty good. I liked that it told a complete enough story to feel satisfying while still leaving it open enough that they could make more if they choose to. The thing that stood out the most to me was how the bodies were drawn. It felt like the artists and animators actually knew human anatomy. Just something about the proportions and muscles that felt realistic, or more real than what we see in modern anime.
>>281848670>audio play>half of the episodes are comedy filler. The cast noticing this>Gil Berg having a secret crush an Mia AliceWhat a perfectly wacky way to end it.
>>281848081didn't know about this
Iczer 2 is the best Iczer
>>281848081>>281848670Yeah, the OP was the main reason that I was taking a second look at it recently. Didn't know about the audio play, but I'm also not surprised either. I got the feeling that the creators wanted to make more especially from the way episode 3 ends but the financials probably didn't pan out.
>>281849980Iczelion is the best Iczer
What do you think of this anime: All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku DASH!I watched the opening and it caught my attention, but I also discovered there was another related series; >>281843980
>>281824788>>281824858>>281826040My niggas. Iria was the first anime I ever watched, and Tank Police was the second. Way back on SciFi Channel Saturday Anime. Good times. Both of these shows have a special place in my heart.
>>281793520I jacked off to VHS hentai 25 years ago. I'm not japanese but I ate cheap ramen after sometimes.
A Classic
>>281850481>Way back on SciFi Channel Saturday Anime.They showed Lodoss too. I was already just starting to get into DnD and liked fantasy books so that was a major discovery for me. I found that lot of anime fans back then were also genre fans looking to get more of that.
>>281850662Ken-sama lives
>>281844174I watched the first episode and the subs are so bad its basically unwatchable.
>>281851119>>281850481SciFi channel is how I first saw the Lodoss sequel TV series as a kid and I loved it since I didn't know any better. Didn't find out about the OG OVA until like 2010 on MALhttps://youtu.be/tEgz76YKHHY?si=il6f9ARA21F1xffW
>>281851917A lot of people were pretty hard on the TV series but I liked it okay. Certainly a step down and Spark's an idiot but it was more Lodoss and more fantasy. Could have probably done without the little chibi shorts at the end of the episode. Kind of a mood whiplash when something significant or emotional happens and then you're hit in the face with SD wackiness. Could have used the extra minutes to give the proper episodes more budget or time too. But I like that it was a more complete adaptation of the novels. Intros a 10/10 too.
>>281852025It also is a cleaner lead into Legend of Crystania. Which was a neat series itself.
>>281848723Black Magic has pretty good character animation. I would argue it's also better in that regard than a lot of otherwise more stylish or more smoothly animated OVAs of its day as well. People move with a sense of weight and their personality and emotions are conveyed in their movements.
>>281823644Wouldn't surprise if they decided to just keep the movie in a vault for some reason. It happens. The first Dragon Quest Dai movie for example was shown in 1991 and never got a home release until 2020.
Any good hentai from the 90s? I’ve seen boot-up and thought it was like a slutty version of A.I. love you…..
>>281850177There's 3 Nuku Nuku series, the OVAs, the TV series which tries to be a wacky over the top comedy with Nuku Nuku as the city's resident super hero and Nuku Nuku DASH which tries to be a romantic drama with some comedy
>>281850177NukuNuku OVAs are 8/10 for me. Nice, fun short show.NukuNuku TV is "comedy", but never laughed once. Its the type of wackyanime comedy that its just plain cringe and unfunny. 4/10.NukuDash has a real good Opening, love the song, but the show its just plain boring. Also 4/10. I say, dont waste your time, just watch the OVAs.
just watched ArisaGood Luckit was certainly something. they really just let people make whatever they wanted those days huh

>>281848994Yeah, I like to imagine it goes into 70s super robot territory in some crazy plots
>>281849980What the fuck was her problem?
>>281851917https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxRmm9osB8k
>>281856222Iczer wan.
>>281856296I remember this. Well I remember seeing it. I can't tell you fuck all what happens. I do recall liking the chick on the right here. I should rewatch this.
>>281856222She only wanted a partner like Nagisa
>>281774587El-Hazard
>>281857818I like the more arabian palace design. You know a lot of older portal fantasy (I refuse to use that other word) really did tend to avoid the medieval Europe style. El hazard had this, Rayearth was crystals every which way and Escaflowne while having some traditional palaces also had kick ass floating fortresses
>>281851421BariBari or Boogie?
>>281857862The variety was nice. In general a lot of older portal fantasy felt more fantastical/creative. I suppose it not being THE trend at the time meant that the people who were interested in making one ended up being more passionate.
>>281858055Yeah, the concept of Stranger in a Strange land is one of the classic forms of stories so generally if someone did it back then it was part of a bigger story they were planning or there was more of a point to it.
Finally some good fucking food.
>>281774587Re-watching You're Under Arrest
>>281857865 Boogie
>>281856601>the point in the Iczer-3 OVA when she confronts Icezr-1 again>Iczer-1 says she never wants to kill "a sister" again>actually gets befriendedKino. poor Athros tho, left dead insteadNow they can fuck on Cthulhu guarding duty both thinking of Nagisa while at it
>>281843980The UK dub is god tier, shame it's been scrubbed from the net
Miss China was cute as fuck, such a crime she was only in a few OVAs
>>281861565speaking of, I really liked the vibe in the original spirit of wonder movie. reminded me of that one story in Planetary where they found a capsule containing these guys who launched themselves into orbit with a jules verne space cannon
Who else is being reminded of anime they would have never remembered for the rest of their lives if it wasn’t for this thread?
God I miss 90s OVAs Good quality animation and concepts they'd never make series for
>>281845701They probably mean Aisha Clanclan
>>281861537I see it on n*aa. Plenty of seeders too.In the meantime have the UK dub of Kekko Kamenhttps://archive.org/details/kekko-kamen-uk-dub-3-4
>>281861859And sometimes good quality animation and concepts they DID make series for!>pic related
>>281805277nah, the most seeded is good
>>281853667>>281854609>>281855039Ok, understood.
>>281854609Thanks for future reference
slightly off-topic, but can someone go on irc and tell the nyaa admins to remove all the ARR/kingmenu shit that's been flooding the site lately, it's literally not allowed and it's painful seeing so many series get destroyed by them
>>281868341>get destroyed by them>implying the non-search front page matters
>>281857862They were a lot more creative at the time, I wonder what happened.
>>281868813lack of passion today
>>281868829Why would anyone even become an artist if they're not passionate about it ?
>>281868479>non-search front page matterswait, there is non-seaech page?I vaguelly feel it rings a bell but I have no idea how to get there or what it was, once.
>>281869315that's just the page you land on when you visit the site, where it's just the most recent uploads. all those spammers impact is that page
>>281869344Ah.>tfw I remember the stupid chat on the frontpage>tfw I remember when it was animated Miku
>>281868479many of the series they shit up have no translations otherwise
>>281869429oji-san...
lousy file size limit
do you like girls with big pauldrons?
>>28186985310/10Would do the Deed with them
Just downloaded Shamanic Princess for a rewatch, basically shoujo but still fun.
not an OVA, but currently watching Panzer World Galient
