Tuned in to Retro Anime / Manga!

Looks like the Ghost in the Shell manga.

>>631
Yeah, definitely Ghost in the Shell.
I remember a lot of these panels well from so much time staring at them, cause--yeah, Major Kusanagi looks really cute in it.

Thank you

A tv channel decided to air the whole serie in one day so i decided to do a rewatch, i remember the animation being more fluid.

Seemingly RoV is getting a new adaption for it's 50th. I wonder how it'll be done.

I think the original is perfect as is, so I'm not sure what, if anything, they can add.

>>612
Aesthetically and shot-wise it's really good, but animation is poor. So maybe they'd improve that aspect. But I doubt it would look as good

>>610
Correction: Ikeda was the manga author. The first director on the anime was Tadao Nagahama, who had previously done Star of the Giants and the Robot Romance Trilogy. I believe he left because of some sort of artistic conflict, and then Dezaki took over.

Sadly, Nagahama died later that year, which is probably why you haven't heard of him.

>>613
Yeah, the animation is weirdly stiff, especially in the early eps. I think Toei didn't allocate enough budget for the costumes, all those ruffles and trimming must've been hell on the animators.

>>606
>Due it's age it lacks in animation sequences

I wouldn't really associate that with age. Stuff from the 70s like Gatchaman, Gutsy Frog, The Romance Robot Trilogy, lots of the WMT shows, etc all have plenty of nice animation. It seems more like a Dezaki thing - strong shot composition and drawings, but generally a low drawing count. Though Cobra is nuts animation wise a lot of the time.

I love ROV, I need to re-watch it again as it's been too long. While of course some of the nobles can be over the top evil, the overall situation was presented with a pretty good degree of nuance, and its hard to not love Oscar.

I need to check out but I have too many things on my plate at the moment.
I heard the D'arby fight in particular is amazing.

>>576
I remember it being pretty good, only disappointment was the Vanilla Ice fight getting truncated, but otherwise I can appreciate it for being an alternate take on the original story. In a way it makes it feel more similar to parts 1 & 2 (which are my personal favorites), with it's brisker pace and a focus on fights that drive the story forward. OST is pretty awesome too.

That reminds me, I never finished reading the part 3 manga so I should probably get on that.

>>578
I think this episode was directed by Satoshi Kon

>>576
I never really thought about it honestly, always felt like a "bad" adaptation of Part 3 but I've never actually watched it so I should give it a shot.

Still, wonder how it must've felt for the only Jojo related things someone in the west would know around this time would've probably been this OVA and the PS1/DC game.

>>570
That's from Kimagure Orange Road

>>571
Thx boss

>>569
It's Jayce and The Wheeled Warriors

I'm not even sure these were all part of the same anime but might as well give it a shot.

Specifically remember 3 scenes from it:

1. Main character (brown haired?) is walking down the street until he comes across a (blue haired?) woman being harassed by a pair of thugs. At first he just watches, but eventually things get rawnchy so he decides to finally act. Suddenly a mysterious power awakens within him, allowing him to beat up the thugs with ease. The woman then approaches him, revealing she's some kind of priest/oracle looking for for a "chosen one" as hailed by a prophecy, and the protagonist seems to fit the bill.

2. A quartet of demons (the four horsemen of the apocalypse?) spawn in a city and start to wreck havoc all around. I specifically recall a part in which a female demon enters a train and decimates everything on her path, until suddenly she stops in front of a regular looking businessman and gives him a seductive look before draining his life out and continuing with her rampage.

3. An older guy plus some kids are stuck on a facility in an isolated island watching news about the chaos in the city. The older guy comments about how glad he is for being safe on the island, while the kids complain that they're hungry and have no food. The guy suggests they could start a fire and cook their shoes since they're made of horse leather and thus technically edible. The kids get weirded out but he decides to try it out anyway and fails.

As a bonus this was probably in spanish, can't remember if it was subbed or dubbed. I've tried skimming over the synopses of shows that aired on channels that I watched as a kid but nothing seemed to match, so for all I know this could have been a local channel airing whatever they got a hold off without actually having a license for it.

>>574
Damn no.1 sounds extremely familiar. Off the top of my head it reminded me of a couple of anime none of which fit the description DNA³ or 3x3 eyes

>>552
Shut the fuck up and dear god I hope you were at least high while writing that post. Heres a bump anyway tho.

Small FAQ:
-I define "Anime" as "Japanese animation" so no Korean or Chinese stuff, and I don't care what medium.
-I judge anime OPs based on the version IN THE ANIME, I don't just listen to songs. I care about the music and the visuals as a wholistic work.
-Notably bad could be good to you, often they are experimental and you may find you like them and I don't. Same goes for some I put under good, they might not work for you.
-I don't speak Japanese, so if you do and I missed something you love because of the lyrics, or I have something here that you hate because of the lyrics, sorry, not able to judge based on that.

You could sort it by music genre, tv genre, date/era, or maybe rank from best to worst.

I like sorting by year, but having the rest of that info could be very useful in my final list!

i think by year is fine, but club the Ops from the same series together. Like all the city hunter Ops together.

Not enough spear fighting to be quite honestly honest with you.

>>1507
that was the best part you don't get subtle slow character driven fantasy anime like this anymore

I wish it had continued

In an interview conducted in conjunction with the event, he talked about his future goals. Writing a sequel to “ZETMAN” in addition to a new manga on the theme of ghost stories, which he says he has recently become more interested in. He has apparently set his sights on remaking “Wingman” and “Video Girl” Katsura said, “Video Girl is difficult, but I have an idea for Wing Man. I would like to draw a continuation of the previous one and give it a modern twist. It is a sequel rather than a reboot. I think it would be more interesting that way,” he said.

*Wingman Spoilers here I don't know if there are spoiler tags*

The final episode of the 13-volume book depicts the decision of the main character, Kenta, to discard all memories of Wingman in order to save Aoi’s life. Katsura revealed part of his idea: “I think that when Kenta, who has forgotten everything, and Aoi, who remembers everything, meet, a drama is born.
