Tuned in to Retro Anime / Manga!

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

>>1038
her lungs are fucked up from smoking those cigs. Fuck tobacco this is a weed nation.

If you don't like Madoka you're fucking gay.

>>1040
What if I prefer Hikaru?

>>1041
You're fucking gay.

>>1040
literally who?

>>1032
Oh, I see. That makes it simple then.
I really digged the artstyle

Just finished Black Jack fucking amazing. To be honest I will always pegged Dezaki as a hack fraud (maybe too strong a word) who we pretend it was good despite some very obvious amateurish qualities to his work. For example the sound design where he would just play the main theme at random intervals in the episode and it gets really annoying after a while, or the awkward dramatic timings with an episode having multiple climaxes and awkawrd cuts and scenes not flowing together well.
I tolerated it in Joe because of the source material and Cobra is light hearted fun, but it was hard to stomach on shows that tried to be serious.

But I am glad to report that there's none of that in Black Jack, this is Dezaki perfected, everything at the utmost professional standard, excellent drama with a great sense of pacing and every scene plays together well, all accompanied by some of the best art you'll see in anime. Highly recommend for all Dezaki fans

I figure this is a decent thread for this. I finished Joe 2 the other day, and I've been thinking about it a bit. What do you think of the ending? At first I was a bit disappointed, but after thinking about it, it's probably the best possible ending.

>>1035
It's the only way it could've ended for me.

Hey hey hey blues....

Was hoping to see Joe find completion, but honestly I think it was the only completion a character like him could get. It's kind of sad I think after Rikishi's death he was suicidal and remained that way.

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.

>>1004
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.

Agreed fuck anti glare

I have a pvm I haven't used at all but hopefully will be able to once I get a stand for it. Sadly only does s-video because it was probably just a security monitor, but it looks decent. Also need to install cfw on my ps3 so it can play jap dvds.

>>927
No. I'm a retro fan, not a hipster.

>>927
No for these reasons:
- I'm not a hipster
- Both VHS player and CRT tvs take too much space
- I don't have a CRT tv anymore
- I don't have favorite anime of mine at VHS anymore
- I prefer watching anime at my 42 inches tv with said anime being at best quality possible

>>927
I've got a late-90s/early-00s CRT that I bought from someone on OfferUp for like $8 (it has a crack on the back of it, but works just fine). N64 and PS1 games look about as good as you remembered they did back in the day on it, and I've got a Blu-Ray/DVD player hooked up to an adapter to an adapter. It's not the optimal way to watch newer stuff (Blu-Ray menus are next to impossible to read on that thing), but there's a nostalgic charm I like about it, especially when watching DVDs or VHSs on it. (Watching the Trigun DVDs on it was a magical experience.) I'm sure I sound like a caveman pleb right now to CRTfriends who know what they're doing, but that's what I've got going on in my room

>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.

Rem Ayanokoji is a lesbian

Important information, I almost risked watching it before learning this.

>>919
Your loss, pal.
