Tuned in to Retro Anime / Manga!

up

I'm better on the late 70s, but I can run down the classics I know are translated.

Princess Knight
Attack No.1
Aim for the Ace I watched this, it's good)
Cutey Honey
Heidi, Girl of the Alps (more general kids than shoujo)

>>2101
is that not just the term for the cels themself, though?

>>2068
It means the rights have reverted to the original company and the company producing those can't make them anymore

A real shame, I remember watching Harlock back in 2018 and it was the oldest anime I had ever watched up until then. I actually wanted to watch Cosmo Warrior Zero but was told to watch the original Harlock instead. I forced my way through 6 episodes a day so I could finish it in a week and it was tough but I somehow did it. I liked it even if I remember next to nothing about it, webm related was my favourite scene just for how Harlock handled that situation.

I saw The Cockpit about a year later and thought it was alright, the first episode with the nazi trying to decide if he should do the right thing but betray his country was a cool idea, the second episode was somewhat funny because the MC wanted to die so bad and it would've been interesting if he didn't go through with it. The third episode was alright but a bit boring I found.

I should really watch GE999 one of these days but the 113 episode count really does put me off, I would just have to hope it catches my attention early on so I can power through it.

Wonder who will sadly be next, so many old mangaka and directors in their 70s and 80s these days.

RIP

It was a more innocent time.

Honestly anime should've stayed underground. I hate when the U.S. tries to imitate Japanese animation and writing styles.

>>1007
What a coincidence, because I hate when Japan tries to imitate U.S. animation and writing styles.

>Any more Sonoda stuff worth checking out?
Nah, just the manga of GSC and Bean Bandit the 7 minute kick started anime where only around 4 minutes is actually animated and the last 3 are credits. A shame too since it's exactly what I wanted from a modern Riding Bean.

I know a lot of people dislike the manga for certain reasons, the ending of Burst is kind of stupid and unrealistic but overall I enjoyed what I read just because it's fun in general. I also enjoyed the insights into guns from Sonoda, guy knows his stuff despite living in Japan.

I'd say if you enjoyed something like GSC/Riding Bean, here are a few other things I enjoyed that had a similar vibe, both retro and not:

Read or Die
Dirty Pair
Golgo 13
Lupin (kinda)
Armor Hunter Mellowlink (also kinda, more mecha)
Candy and Cigarettes (manga)
Outlaw Star
Cowboy Bebop
Black Lagoon
Black Magic M-66
Armitage III
Dominion Tank Police
Urasekai Picnic (not that great though)


Not sure if they'd give you a similar vibe, anon. But hopefully you can scratch that itch with stuff here.

>>999
Candy and Cigarettes is definitely flashy enough and lolicon enough to be Sonoda-core.

>>1000
Yeah, it's a real shame the manga is taking ages to be translated though. Hope it gets an anime sometime.

Treasure Island's great. I watched it with some friends back in 2021 and it's just so....fun. It's just got this great sense of adventure and every episode just flew by. I love that Jim has a leopard cub and that Benbow grows up so at the end Jim is just this guy walking around with a leopard like it's totally normal. And it's got my favorite Long John Silver in media.

I'm going to pick up the official release for sure, I hope it gets more people watching it.

I also have a real soft spot for child main characters when they are done right and Jim was definitely done right.
It was an extremely surprising series since it did so many things that I wouldn't expect to see in a story based on an old adventure book like a morally gray antagonist who kind of wins in the end or most of the conflicts being battles of wits. I was fully expecting it to be cheesy swashbuckling action like those old pirate movies my great grandparents used to watch.
Silver is quite possibly my favorite anime antagonist of all time.
I am definitely going to have to read the book some time soon.

>what recent memes
Those soviet Livesy memes have led to some people in the animation community digging up other weird European Treasure Island adaptations and reevaluating stuff like Treasure Planet.

>>892
Treasure Planet is incredibly bizarre and half the time I couldn't make sense of what I was watching, but I have to give them some props for that ending.

I've had the show on my radar for ages; where I'm from (Arabia) it was extremely popular. Even saying it's popular doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.

Weird anecdote: my dad's an amputee so all his friends call him Long John Silver because of this anime.

>>892
Yeah, and not too long ago I watched the muppets rendition, still funny after all these years

>>875
Captain Harlock became one of my favorite anime characters after I finished the 1978 TV Show and I really liked Arcadia of my Youth.
Right now I think I have around 30 episodes left until I'm done with GE999 and it's been amazing,I can't wait to see how it ends and to rewatch the movie.

>>877
The episode/arc where Harlock shows up is the best part imo. It's got new OST, punished Maetel, Harlock badassery, and an Arcadia cameo.

>>878
That’s some heavy maetel for an episode

>>879
-_-

I always want to watch his stuff but get filtered whenever these abominations appear.
It's not like he can't draw normal characters either.
