Definitely a tie between Kei and Yuri from Dirty Pair.

I don't know, maybe? I don't see them taking someone else onto their team, but I could be a contact within the WWWA like Chief Gooley.

This is a tough one.. I guess the elevator girl from the original Hunter x Hunter. I’ve watched a lot less /cel/ anime so its hard to say.

>Could you be friends with them IRL?
Probably not. I haven’t had friends since like the first year of elementary school. I don’t even have friends online.

You know how in slayers, there is a multiverse composed of 4 worlds, slayers being one of those worlds and Lost Universe being one of the other? Tenchi muyo is like that but cranked up to 11. Every show is basically it's own dimension/seperate universe that is being manipulated by the three goddess's that created reality (3 of the girls from the show).

So each show tends to have its own theme and is a different genre. The most dnd/slayers like fantasy tenchi muyo would probably be "Tenchi Muyo! War on Geminar" also known as "Isekai no Seikishi Monogatari" which is about tenchi's nephew being sent to a fantasy world called geminar where he has to pilot fantasy knight mecha and fight with abunch of fantasy races. But its closer to escaflowne than slayers. Either way, thats a 2000s show. In the 90s one, I think universe is the best. But its more like lost universe than slayers, it's modern fantasy scifi with a jp twist.

>Nadesico, Excel Saga are unmemorable proto-harems
I know this is three years ago but this is such an insane opinion I have to say something. Nadesico does the subversive mecha telling otaku to go outside thing better than Eva and Excel Saga is an exemplar of deranged Y2K otaku comedy. Neither of them are harems, neither of them are close to harems.

Slayers was memorable to a strain of 90s wapanesemer because it was fucking funny. Pomp and pomposity aren't the only things worthwhile with older works.

It's time to play the retro otaku famous sport, finding old Japanese web pages! Now these days, various search engines have been filtering these pages, making them harder to find, but if you know a thing or two about old anime/doujin circles, this shouldn't be a challenge for /ar/.
Do pixelly oekaki scribbles make you blush? Does finding dithered old .MAG anime CGs make you cum? Then take note of these examples to find these types of images on your local search engine

>"index of" ~[insert old PC model here]
>ＣＧ [insert 90s anime or 90s anime character name], "ne.jp", 1998.03.05 (this date is just an example, any date between the early 90s-early 00s will give you results)
Voila! You've done it. Now contribute to the thread with your various findings. Happy hunting, /ar/.

If they haven't bothered with a modern DVD/BD release, it's probably obscure. Though there's a slow steady trickle of new BD releases of old series.

Did anyone give a shit about Kentauros no Densetsu? It's not offensive, but it's not very good either and the art and animation are ho-hum. This is very typical of these obscure OVA/Film from this era. One thing I do appreciate though, is that the subject matter seems way more varied. Oh yeah, manga about bikers and turn that into an animated film about bikers. Would anything like this get made at all? I strongly get the vibe that this was meant to be a live action film from the way the script is written and how it's directed. Probably couldn't secure funding, so a cheap animated film was made.

Well goodness gracious I’ve actually seen this short last year, it’s quite simple about the story of the rise of a pop star and I’m totally convinced this was done by the JEM animators, I liked it, short and sweet and essentially one big music video. Also I appreciate that the incarnation of Dracula they used looks like the christopher lee version from the hammer films

>Most pre-1945 anime is lost forever
At least one can assume that the percentage of anime lost is very small compared to the amount of anime permanently archived, by virtue of how hard it is to just produce anime, and thus the limited quantity of anime that could be lost in the first place.
Manga? Manga is fucked.
To give you an idea, when in 1977 Kodansha started the massive Tezuka Complete Series, or the Tezuka Black Label, it was estimated that Tezuka had penned over 700 manga; the Complete Collection has 400 titles, meaning that about half of what Tezuka himself wrote is lost.
The Black Label took 20 years to print every manga they could find and some Tezuka remade from scratch (for example, the original printing of Shin Takarajima is lost, the one published by Kodansha was remade by Tezuka in 1984) and that's the best Kodansha could do.
It's not an exaggeration to think that there are more lost manga than known manga

 No.3705

The rise of listing sites and torrents have eliminated obscurity. That said, there is a LOT of obscure cel anime out there, and it's probably not possible to watch it all in a lifetime.
There are a lot of long comedy and shoujo TV series that are so generic and bland nobody's touched them, and you'd have to be insane to sit through them. On the OVA/movie side, there are a lot of crappy delinquent, romance, and seinen action OVAs with middling animation, one-note characters, and reused, watered-down stories – none of the insane stories, great animation, cool robots, and violence people think OVAs generally have. You will find some obscure historical movies and OVAs, which tend to be good, and many of which haven't been ripped or subbed. But that's it.
