Mito Mito!What are you watching? How are you enjoying it?
>>287877390Currently partway through Onii-sama e. The visuals are spectacular and the melodrama, while overwrought, surprisingly keeps me interested. It's also strange how archaic it is; despite being made in 1991 it's very much a 70's throwback.
>>287877390Cutey Honey's sheer understanding of ANATOMY is joyous. The curves, the beauty, perfect.
>>287878113That's not too unusual, it's based off a 70s manga and a few big 70s mangas got 90s anime adaptations, especially space and mecha ones
>>287877390I just got done with Ruin Explorers and was pretty disappointed overall. While the animation is solid throughout, after the pretty good 1st episode the show becomes essentially "prince Lyle's quest for revenge" while our two main characters get sidelined, with one wanting to fuck him and the other just tagging along.
>>287880712Based
>>287877390Almost done with my "retro" part of Slayers before going onto the newer titles.Not sure where to go next with rewatches. I am currently split on:>Lost Universe>Gokudou-kun Manyuuki>Haunted JunctionAlternatively I could watch Tsurikichi Sanpei (pic is from chapter 1 of the manga) or Kiko-Chan Smile. Any thoughts?
>>287880830
>>287880712Kekko Kamen was kino
>>287881084Damn, it was already on the list but now it got priority.
>Bored >fuck it let’s watch Mobile suite gundam >tfw first three episodes got me hooked more than any other anime in the last three years
>>287882181I mean, there is a reason it became such a long lasting franchise, most of the shows you watched these 3 years wont last not even a quarter as long as gundam has.
>>287882181Imagine if when a modern main character was being a whinny bitch boy he got the Noah Slap
Think I might rewatch Moribito, it's a nice slow burner which treats it's plot seriously and maturelyOr finally watch Claymore all the way through, for some reason whenever I've tried to watch it I get distracted part way
>>287883845>MoribitoThe sequel's definitely worth checking out too, but it never got an anime adaptation, just manga
>>287877390>Cyber City Oedo 808>Goku Midnight Eye>Patlabor Movies 1 + 2Enjoyed them all, Patlabor movies, especially the second, definitely stand out but it's unfair to compare them to the other two. Goku Midnight Eye is a perfect addition to the insanity category in my collection. I lost at remote manufactured interdimensional missiles with overnight delivery. Kino.Currently partway through a short 2000's series but I'm planning to watch Iria Zeiram next.>>287878394I liked the 70's series so I just picked up New Cutey on BD but may need to watch it sooner.
>>287884654Yeah I was going to say it's a shame the rest of the novel series wasn't adapted
>>287877390
>>287885033>Iria ZeiramI watched that a couple of months ago, pretty decent, nice animation and designsPlot is a bit disjointed in places and a couple of the twists were a bit trite and predictable, but overall pretty good
>>287884936I liked Shin Cutey Honey the best out of the franchise, Re Cutey Honey was good too
>>287877390Mito would have been enjoyable if they didn't decide to keep the MC's voice actor the same after he turned into a girl
>>287885189
>>287885065>*PRODIGY'S VOODOO PEOPLE STARTS BLASTING*>ARE YOU TIRED OF JAPANIMATION FOR SISSIES LIKE SAILOR MOON AND RANMA ONE HALF?
>>287885065Man, Faye has the hairline of a troglodyte.
>>287885282Ranma is based tho
>>287885065I like those late 90s/early 2000s anime magazine ads
>>287885657
the lack of 50 >is this retro?! posts in this thread just shows me one of those faggots made it
>>287885206Second season feels like a reset while keeping all the foundation of the first in a way that's a little unsatisfying but it picks up by the half way mark.
>>287885657>>287885719Flash Kei > OG Yuri > Flash Yuri > OG Kei
>>287878394It's Nagai's style and Shin Cutey Honey do it awesomely.
Recently started Oishinbo and am really enjoying it between the episodic nature as well as the MC's knowledge and skills shown each episode

>>287882181The first few episodes of mobile suit gundam are phenomenal, but it really drags during the middle of the series.
>>287886092That was a fun OVA
>>2878860531994 a best
>>287885830
>>287877390Retro is generally considered something to be 20~ years old.90's and 80's are vintage by this point.
>>287886217>finally, adult cartoons for a mature 12-year-old like me
>>287886429
>>287886568Why don't we get ads like this anymore
>>287886585I hate to break it to you but the average person cant read anymore. An add like that would be ineffective.
>>287886077That's hot
>>287886429>>287886568I like that these ads told readers which anime had nudity, that way you knew what to buy
>>287886455It doesn't really work that way anymore, given that cultural shifts move at a glacial pace, with some exceptions. You could go back 20 years in time, and things really wouldn't be all that different, at least not when compared to cultural shifts between other decades in the past. 1988 and 1998 were very different in terms of fashion, music, entertainment and technology, to the point where people were already feeling nostalgic about the 80s in the late 90s, like it was an entirely different era from a long time ago, but the difference between 2016 and 2026 almost isn't there.
>>287885790
>>287886255>Cute feetFor me it's Ryoko's
>>287879119im with you his story sucked too. the royal family fucked over the townsfolk and the priest got corrupted trying to help and then everyone tries to help him with his quest to regain power. he didnt even defeat the evil the sword and girls did almost everything.
>>287885189i wish police were real
>>287886742>implyingglobohomo, more US aggression leading to vastly different global perceptions, cultural rise of east asian media exports (china, korea, japan), fukushima disaster, an actual land war in europe, US school shootings becoming so common they aren't even reported in the news, increase of western money in anime leading to retarded mandates, death of fansubbing (fucking DAIZ), GODDAMN COVID. HOW THE FUCK IS COVID NOT A GIANT CULTURAL SHIFT YOU FUCKING MONGOLOID.And this is off the top of my head.
>>287886092Cute
>>287887438things happening is not the same as cultural shiftsexplain how covid changed anime aesthetics
>>287886568
>>287887438>death of fansubbingThis honestly hurtsWaiting months or years for official subs for a recent, highly regarded anime because no one makes fansubs anymore would have been unthinkable 10-15 years ago, but here we areYeah, learning Japanese is an option but that's not really the point
>>287887645make up your mind. are you talking about greater regional cultural shifts or greater changes in anime production? don't flip flop.
>>287887889This. I don't understand what anon is trying to argue here. certain tropes have fallen out of favor but i can watch 90s shows that don't feel dated but 70/80s definitely felt dated to the 90s
>>287887793
>>287884936>>287886402
>>287887889>make up your mindI haven't changed my mind, that was my first post in the thread
>>287887397Its funny because if you think about it he accomplished squat, all 3 treasures were gotten by other people, dude couldnt get close to the priest without 2 different interventions from the 2 main girls (i guess the author didnt want to make them feel useless) all he did was the final slash.
>>287888110>>287886053>>287884936>>287878394Fuck, i might have commuted a mistake by trying to start with the og series and not just skip straight to Shin
I used to skip sunday school to watch this on TV lol
>>287888249How would that be a mistake? The og is great anon
>>287888576I will take your word for it, i havent started it yet and dont really have a problem with old stuff but Shin just looks more like something i will enjoy.
>>287885033>may need to watch it sooner.Probably the best anime I've seen this year. I love this old man in particular.>>287878394I particularly like how Michiko Neya's voice fits Honey so well for Shin specifically. She sounds a bit smarter but still very much the same Honey, and her voice is also pure sexo.
>>287887311
>>287888532>oh cool they defeated the robo bandits and gundams so inguess the show's ove->itkeptgoing.jpg>fought the goddamn emperor>parries a fucking battleship laser>Kikuchiyo my bro 4 evarWill we ever get such bold and wild ride such as this show anymore? Probably not for a while
>>287888618>i havent started it yetThen you haven't even done anything to warrant regret then.
>>287881084It's curious that the Kekko Kamen anime didn't adapt a single chapter from the manga but still capture the spirit of the manga.
>>287885790Theres no such thing as a wrong opinion, except in your case
>>287888717Ryoko > Ayeka > Washuu > Mihoshi > Kiyone > Sasami > Ryo-Ohki
>>287885189>>287885224Atsuko Nakajima know how to make hot chicks. Too bad she only does BL these days
>>287888618Shin is a sequel anyway. Just watch it after the OG
>>287881084Also she had the same voice as Sailor Jupiter which is a plus
>>287888657Danbei looks like he'd start off as a joke but he's actually the most reliable character other than Honey, especially compared to his sons.>>287888532>>287888724I wondered how this would be, the complete series bd is seemingly always on sale>parries a fucking battleship laserFuck, guess it's going in the basket the next time I'm buying some random bullshit
>>287888835>WashuuLittle Washuu or Big Washuu?
>>287888808Hey, im not regretful yet! I was just apprehensive and unsure, dont post a reaction image looking at me like that! Still, thanks to you i have someone vouching for it which makes me more at ease that im not wasting my time with a bad adaptation.>>287888850Oh its a straight up sequel? With these ancient IPs i always imagine a new title means a "re-imagination" or reboot or something, thats nice to hear.
>>287881084it was absolute dogshit
>>287881084>>287888876
>>287887438Are you fucking retarded? Most of that shit was already the norm in the 2000s, and the rest is just a list of shit that happened that didn't really change culture, or it's borderline irrelevant. I mean, fucking Fukushima?As for Covid, that just came and went.
>>287888976It's OK to be gay
>>287888944> bad adaptationKeep in mind, the Toei/Go Nagai collaborations weren't really adaptations since the anime and manga were typically developed at roughly the same time.
Anyone here know any sites where I can watch these old anime at? because I like these old retro stuff seeing most of the plots isn't just>I was a shitty fat loser teenager, hit by a van and now i'm a 6 year old level 600 princess and I will use my military tactics I learnt from games and RPG games to beat the demon nation isekai shit
>>287888835Based >>287888832I'd say Flash holds up better than the original series, the 80s Tv series was fine, but the 80s OVAs were a mixed bag
>>287888938Indeed, not only in action, but his lecherousness this time around even feels like a familiarity device to purposefuly give Honey a place to call home after she lost so much. It's sweet, and awesome. I also recently saw the live action, Honey's relationship with Natsuko was cute, I need to watch the sequel anime.

>>287889207I see, early anime production has a lot of that kind of stuff huh.
>>287888532That was such crap.
>>287889064Stop living under a rock.
>>287889938More or less. Tokusatsu also has a lot of that.
What am i in for?
>>287892938It's like Cowboy Bebop, but just hungry > hungry + sad crewmembers. It's pretty good overall.Also Aisha
watch dominion tank police
Started Air Master yesterday, watched 3 episodes. It's pretty fun so far!
>>287892938Not as well written a cowboy bebop, but when it peaks i find it more fun than the former, way more "90's" and eastern in its charm.
>>287889351Streamer sites keep dyingHianime died a month agoAniwatch died last weekAnigo has issues playing vidsBack to nyaa and torrents
>>287885033>Cyber City Oedo 808Oh i watched this one recently too, and its great, no overarching plot but each of the episodes were very fun and the "culprits" were always a cool mix of horror and sci-fi like the cyber revenant or the biotech vampire.If i had more faith on today's industry i would be begging for a full 2 cour tv revival of this one, so much untapped potential with the premise and setting and other possible villains.
I'm not really into how Go Nagai draws breasts
I really hate this selfish prick. Not everything is about you Masatsuki Nenga.
I’ve always wanted to get into the Lodoss franchise but have no idea where to startI’ve been interested since I read a volume of this one parody comic called Welcome to Lodoss Island when I was a kid
>>287894373Literal cultural genocide. Most of the classic titles belong to studios that already declare in bankuptcy
>>287894373archive org or anime kai
>>287886071Damn, I love manimé.
>>287895648The OVAs are not a bad choice i think, personally its not my favorite but i've seen some anons sing some high praise for it so its likely a matter of taste.

>>287895080If you like dark character driven anime I recommend Silent MobiusThere is an over arching plot, but it's largely episodic and rotates along the cast with 'day in the life of x' style subplots
>>287884936Honey a cute
>>287879119Eveyrone's feeling about the show.
>>287877390Blood+I'm at episode 9 and it hasn't hooked me yet.Worth continuing or should I just drop it?
>>287898399Nice legs
>>287893095
>>287898490Dont have any strong feelings towards dark characters anime specifically but i will give it a look, thanks.Personally my backlog is just made of things other /a/nons post cool webms of or stuff they post that has good fanservice.
>>287899076how is Blood+ retro?
>>287899480idk, but I saw Seirei no Moribito (2007) and Samurai 7 (2004) being discussed, Blood+ is 2005 so I figured it's ok if I ask here.
>>287899480Some anons think that 20+ year old=retro.I just go with the "pre2000 is retro" definition, it lines up decently well with the drop of cells and the rise of digital as well, with a couple of exceptions.>>287899522Its fine until someone bitches about it i guess.
>>287892938Really cool grungy space opera with Taoist wizard pirates, but the story is kind of a mess and it drags in the middle. It's full of 90s goodness, though.
>>287899451
>>287899157this looks so sick>>287899574the only acceptable facial tattoo. if a girl si gonna get a dumb tattoo it should at least make them look cute, not like necrosis taking hold

Can someone tell me which Cutie Honey shows are yuri and which ones are hetshit? I want to get into them but I don't won't to subject myself to trash.
>>287899681>1973: mostly het >1994: mostly het but it had a couple of lesbian villains, they die >1997: the most het of them all, Honey marries a man and has a daughter in the end >2004: Yuri with a happy ending>2018: Yuri with a "sad" ending
>>287888532this was pretty cool. surprisingly faithful to the kurosawa film.
>>287899574Cute
>>287899759So basically, avoid anything pre-2000s. Got it.
>>287893610Looks interesting. Is it yuri? That pic you posted has no men in it but I don't want to be baited.
I just started watching Nobody Boy's Remi. It looks so cinematographic compared to modern anime. Fucking Dezaki, man. Obviously the staff was projecting their WW2 traumas
>>287900622>t looks so cinematographic compared to modern animeWhat do you mean by this, is there any screenshots or webms you could post?
>>287900622it's one of his best worksyou could see it that way though there's more to it, the lineage of heavy WMT-like stories that developed and peaked around then expressed some broader artistic currents
>>287901128Not unusual for WMT and WMT-likes, really, though Dezaki's are usually the best ones. (I prefer Takrajima to Ie Naki Ko, but that is just me).
>>287901538Hmm, i dont really see it but im not a big movie guy so i wont argue otherwise.
>>287901128You could just watch an episode.
>>287900580Well the big breasted girl likes Air Master girl. She mostly fights men, the fights are fun. I've only seen 4 episodes didn't have time for more today.
>>287888110This is the peak female phenotype.Absolute perfection.
>>287901870I dont like to do that, but WOW, those are some gorgeous backgrounds, i specially like the one in the 3rd row 3rd column one with the pink moon(?) and the one with the broken glass almost at the bottom Dont know if i would call this cinematographic but a lot of these are just breathtakingly beautiful. Is this a whole series best-of or just from a couple of episodes? Regardless this is going to the backlog for sure.
https://youtu.be/RdWnqfvrA1c?si=ue0pNNmKAkMoyqcbI don't watch dubs anymore, but 25 years ago even this trailer really blew me away, to say nothing of the actual movie.
I have come to the conclusion that this is the greatest sports anime ever made
>>287902447I barely watched anything from this list, really should get into Escaflowne when i have the time.
>>287902777It's fun going through old seasons. Lots of OVAs and all that, but it's like there's 6 new shows, one of which is the premiere of a 348 episode anime and the rest of it is 12 other anime airing for 78-392 episodes.So much more anime is produced today.
>>287902447Amazing year.https://youtu.be/dwDv5kHgqbI?si=yMEIbcv_rxV-p8yd
>>287902811Yeah its pretty funny, though in general i prefer what we have now, sure in a perfect world the old system is better as only good manga/vn/ln would get both full and long adaptations, but as we live in a imperfect world i think a lot of cool stuff would be skipped for things with a more broad appeal, so the current system is better to give more niche stuff a chance at getting at least 12episodes of anime unlike before where you got a couple of ovas if you were lucky.
>>287900622>>287901538Ie Naki Ko is where Dezaki truly became Dezaki IMO. His works prior to that felt like him figuring out his style, hence why AnJ 1 and Ace wo Nerae 1 feel so rough and different compared to everything he made afterwards. It’s actually insane how many back to back masterpieces he made. From around 1970-1993, he never missed as a director, and even the stuff he made after that in the late 90’s and 2000s is good too, even though it’s not AS good.>>287878113Something I find interesting about Oniisama e is that they genuinely updated the setting, pop culture references and technology in the setting from the mid 70s to the early 90s, and because the anime is more popular than the manga, fans of the series predominantly think of the series as being set in the 90s despite the fact that the writing style is still very 70s in nature. I can’t think of many other series where they change the time period, but retain the story’s core spirit like that.
Why do I remember back in the early 00's El Hazard was everywhere on the internet but I don't remember it ever on toonami or really broadcasted anywhere else?I'm watching it, desu it feels like another Tenchi Muyo style harem, but I do like Jinnai since he is basically /pol/ incarnate.Also I have a few cels from the series.
>>287903412Oh yeah Miz was fucking hot. But I guess this series was the start of Isekai?
>>287902725I somehow doubt it
>>287902811>So much more anime is produced today.Yeah, and so much of it is shit. Copy pasted rehashed slop that you need to wade through to find the good stuff>>287902777I didn't expect Escaflowne to live up to the hype, but it does and then some
>>287902725Season 2 any day now...
>>287904222Old times are the same, just replace shitty tv anime with shitty ovas.
>>287904665thats like saying cars were around 100 years ago so traffic was just as bad. both had bad shit but it isnt comparable.
>>287903412Why am I not surprised the guy who buys random cels but never watched the series is here? You finally learn your lesson about acting like a newfag?
Speaking of OVAs, this one was really fun. and has not just one but THREE tomboys
Has anyone here seen Kiko-Chan Smile? I want to know if the Nyaa subtitles are better than the YouTube ones.
>>287879119I was seething so hard after watching that a couple years back that I made this image, along with opening the subtitle files and counting how many times the characters' names get said:>ep1senpai: 11ihrie: 12>ep2:senpai: 17ihrie: 11lyle: 10>ep3:senpai: 4ihrie: 9lyle: 16>ep4:senpai: 9ihrie: 10lyle: 23The guy really does come along and steal the show from its titular characters. It's insane.>Whenever Lyle's not on screen, all the other characters should be asking, "Where's Lyle?"Absolutely maddening wasted potential.>>287882181Yeah, it's immediately gripping. I got the same vibe as when I checked out early Star Trek, thinking "ah this is gonna be some hokey old stuff that only gets praised for being the OG, it won't actually be *good*" and then got slapped in the face with genuinely good material. If you finish 0079 and are still wanting more, you can then go straight into Zeta and it's about the same level of quality (I'm near the end of Zeta and dreading everything I've heard about how ZZ is a massive downgrade, but don't want to skip anything on the way to CCA).
>>287880893
>>287901949It's a compilation from various episodes some anon made. To get a sense of this show you really need to watch it however.
fyi a legit rip of the remastered 4K version is out now (the last one had a big-ass watermark)
>>287900622>>287903128Pulling up his director credits, Dezaki was an actual powerhouse, I haven't been disappointed by anything I've seen so far. Remi is on the "soon" list along with Versailles and all of the remake Aim for the Ace/Another Match/etc. I want to watch more of his stuff but I still haven't even started anything from the Leijiverse and I'm starting to feel pretty bad about that. Unfortunately Leiji anime feel like they might be winter anime, so they can keep waiting. Moar Dezaki >>287902777>>287904222Escaflowne will have some absolutely incredible animation let down by a story in need of another round of revisions. It's worth your time, but it deserved better. The villains are probably the best characters and the episodes shine whenever Hitomi is offscreen. Dryden is surprisingly endearing and Allen is great though.
>>287898399
>>287906947Thoughts on Mighty Orbots?
>>287908162Haven't seen it but I like mecha. If Discotek ever puts it out on bd there's a good chance I'll watch it at some point.
