| Alright between Daddy Long Legs, Little Princess Sara, Romeo no Aoi Sora, and Perrine Montogatari which one do you guys recommend first of all? |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| ALL of them. :) Romeo and Perrine are about neck and neck for me. A Little Princess Sara I'd rank 3rd and then Daddy Long Legs. You can't go wrong either way though. |
| Well, I actually do have them all on my hard drive so I actually do plan on watching all of them. In any case, I guess I'll go with Daddy Long Legs and work my way up to either Perrine or Romeo. Thanks. |

| Love that approach. Most would have gone in the other order heh. |
HisokaHajime said:Love that approach. Most would have gone in the other order heh. Who you talking about Willis! Can never go wrong with any WMT. I've seen Daddy Long Legs myself and Perrine. Perrine is my favorite up there with Nobody's Boy Remi and Les Miserables so far, but Daddy Long Legs was very good as well. Just don't let the first episode trick you, haha, it was very over the top and goofy for WMT standards (I'd guess), but yeah then it gets a bit more normal from there. Man I loved the music in that one. EDIT: Oh you're already into DLL now, hehe. Nice, let us know what you think sometime. It's a bit more easier going and heartwarming than the others I've seen so far, the intensity of the other shows is what makes me like them just a tad bit more, but nothing wrong with DLL. Judy was great stuff. |

| Probably not as underground as any other anime recommended, but I really enjoyed Skull Man. Of course, it's not without it's flaws, but it's more than just worth watching. |

Well, the first manga came out in the 70s, so it should count, in some way. |

I watched Skull Man before Cyborg 009 and that actually helped in some way as it made the things more connected. I think it's the case of two different timelines: one for mangas and another for anime series. |

I think it's the case of two different timelines: one for mangas and another for anime series. Basically, the first manga was a one-shot, from Shotaro Ishinomori that came out in 1970. Before his death he called Kazuhiko Shimamoto to remake it. And so he did, between 1998 and 2001. Then the anime of the remake came out in 2007. I think that's it. As for the timelines, can't really help you with that. I haven't read/seen 'em all. |

I've not read manga as I'm not exactly a manga person but I've seen the anime series and movies. There was a remake of Cyborg 009 anime series in 2011 as well. I can highly recommend to watch the Cyborg 009 series if you liked Skull Man. XD |

Here's the MAL thread about it. Gotta love off-topic. |

Akai-Ryuusei said: no it was not that good madr after ishinomori died so its no consultation with ceator meatn anmie not a close the manga Even if only the half of the series was properly subbed and the other half had HK subs, I still felt that Cyborg 009 (2001) could transfer this underlying feeling of sadness, like in the original. |
| I need recommendations for an old school romance anime, especially movies and OVAs. Just what i need a random list of anime titles. |
ShinGundam said: I need recommendations for an old school romance anime, especially movies and OVAs. Just what i need a random list of anime titles. Here's some very good titles that you haven't added on your list; Macross: Do You Remember Love? Ai Monogatari: 9 Love Stories Slow Step Nineteen 19 Sekai Meisaku Douwa: Hakuchou no Mizuumi Koushoku Ichidai Otoko Rurouni Kenshin: Ishinshishi e no Requiem The Star of Cottonland For some reason you seem to have missed Miyazaki titles on your list, though not being exclusively romantic titles, you can find romance in them: Lupin III: Cagliostro no Shiro Tenkuu no Shiro Laputa Porco Rosso Whisper of Heart (from 1995 but follows the line on Miyazaki/Ghibli romance) You didn't really ask for it but, if you're into romance series, which it seems that you are, you should definitely check this World Masterpiece Theater series: My Daddy Long Legs |
| Thanks RobdeFR. I'm looking forward to all of them especially Slow Step, The Star of Cottonland and My Daddy Long Legs. |
| I was thinking of watching Akage no Anne sometime in the near future. However, there is also the newer prequel series and I could use an opinion on it. Should I watch it first or not, if I'm going to watch them both anyway (with some time in between most likely)? |
| Well, the prequel is really based on a new novel made to celebrate the centenary of Anne story, so it comes off as more of a tribute. I don't think there is harm if you watch them in either way, but I'd normally recommend people to watch the works as they were chronologically released, after all, most of us did watch it that way. Anyway keep in mind that one of the series was directed by Isao Takahata and had Miyazaki in the animation department until some point, so that alone makes it unfair for the other series since the very beginning. |

| Hey everyone:) Just joined this club, since I'd like to start with watching Old School Anime. What I'm looking for would be more of a slice-of-life series, preferably of a girl growing up (coming-of-age), experiencing hardships along the way (including the ones regarding love, but I don't want the main focus to be romance), and maybe the main character travels ... (?) (by the way, I still remember I used to watch Heidi, The Moomins, Nils Holgersson and Alfred J. Quack when I was small.) |

My Daddy Long Legs, as I recommended some posts ago, seems to fit some of your criteria. I'm sure you'll love it. |
| I have just finished Georgie, and somehow I'd like to see more with the year 24-ish classy shoujo style. I have Onisama e on my radar so far, but is there anything more (that I haven't watched yet) with the same art style? |

| Does anyone know any good cyberpunk/SF hidden gems from the 80's - early 90's? I found most of them, like Bubblegum Crisis, Cyber City Oedo or Armitage III by chance. |

| Saw the first two OVA's and so far I like what I'm seeing. Reminds me a lot of Battle Angel Alita for some reason. What can you tell me about Dirty Pair? I usually see it paired with Bubblegum Crisis and that's one of my favourite shows ever. |
If you are a fan of (or simply interested in) Japanese films then please join the Cinema of Japan club! Thank you (: |
| Definitely look into Gall Force. |
|
| Yeah Gall Force is fun. Dirty Pair, try the movie Project Eden first. Then if you find the original series a bit boring, try also Dirty Pair Flash. Some people like one of them, or both. I see you added Gunbuster too, definitely watch that first :) . And don't forget Wicked City. |

AnimeCrusader said: Area 88 (OVA), for a great experience. yep - sublime |
| Here is something I would recommend - I did it last night and I found it most enjoyable: Bubblegum Crisis OVAs Put on the opening sequence/first 5 minutes approx. of each OVA one after the other. Utter audio visual amaze. - Oh, and maybe watch first 10 minutes or so of Streets Of Fire also :) |

| @asyoucan Heres some choices you may find interesting: - Windaria - Essentially Macbeth meets Romeo and Juliet with some Nausicaa thrown in, its a beautifully animated fantasy drama with a somber atmosphere and dark themes. - Bride of Deimos - A very nicely animated OVA which feels like a Twilight Zone episode, in terms of its usage of horror and sci fi themes. - MD Geist - If your looking for something with a bit of a cheesy feeling to it, I'd recommend this. Its like Mad Max with mecha, storyline wise, its retarded, but the action is alot of fun, plus features Hiranobu Kageyama doing the music. - Cyber City Oedo 808 - If you want a show with an explotation Tarantino vibe, this is worth a shot, plus features some nice action and a hilarious English dub. Hope these were helpful. |
| Good day. I recently started Season 2 of Code Geass and boy oh boy is it good. Any similar shows in terms of main character, story and (maybe the most important) mechs that are not tall as a building and don't destroy an entire city? I mean I don't mind mechs but I don;t like them being the center of the story. |

| What are some good delinquent series similar to Sakigake Otokojuku and Diamond is Unbreakable? I don't know if I'd really call it a genre but I seem to really enjoy stuff along these lines and would like to get into more of it. There's just something awesome about the badass jackets and the crazy hair. Just any anime/manga that has this general vibe/setting/characters would be cool. I've seen Cromartie and GTO btw. |
KellhusJan 3, 2015 8:31 AM
| Oh, I also love these. Young GTO, Kyou kara Ore wa and Sukeban Deka are pretty good. |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| Thanks man, Kyou kara Ore wa seems like exactly what I'm looking for. |
| Actually, I just realized something. Kyou Kara was written by Nishimori Hiroyuki. He also did Tenshi na Konamaiki which has 50 episodes. I've also read a more recent manga from him - Ocha Ni Gosu - which is fantastic, but sadly not fully translated yet. The guy's pretty darn awesome. On another note Be-Bop Highschool also looks interesting. Damn you, now I have to check them all! Edit: High school kimengumi also looks interesting, but I think only the movie is translated. |

| Hello everyone! I am new here.. I have a couple of titles that I watched as a kid , all of them were famous at Arab speaking countries during the early 90s : Dodge Danpei : a sport anime about a Dodgeball player .. Ginga Sengoku Gunyuuden Rai ( Thunder Jet ) : An anime were spaceships meet swordmanship Moero! Top Striker: well.. football , and more football Muka Muka Paradise : Time travel to Dinosaurs age Nanatsu no Umi no Tico : Sea, ships and whales Wakakusa Monogatari: Nan to Jo-sensei : a sequel to Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari Yokoyama Mitsuteru Sangokushi ( Romance of the three kingdoms ) If you find this helpful , I have more suggestions |
| I haven't seen people recommending Candy Candy. I highly recommend Candy Candy if you guys love WMT type of show or old period drama type of anime. If you can tolerate the lack of available good quality of the show. It's a very satisfying story from start to end. For faster paced I recommended the manga. |
| Hello everyone! I joined some days ago. There are too many of your recommendations I'll take into account!! I particularly would like to add to this list Ashita no Joe and Top wo Narae! Gunbuster Are nineties series also included on the old school recommendations? There are so many of them I grew up with! There are too many movies as well... Cheers! |
 |
| I think up to 1994, that's when hand-drawn animation slowly started turning into digital in Japan. Nice to see more old school fans! |

| Cool! Then Sailor Moon enters too!! *.* Aw, those magic years when gems came in VHS' ♡ Arslan Senki, Angel Densetsu, Shonan Junai Gumi... Ghibli movies!! My particular favourite ones are Kiki's delivery service and Nausicaä... Hotaru no Haka is a must too. The oldest things I've watched were the movies Hakujaden and Saiyuuki. |

| I need some 80s anime with loli characters. A loli club I'm in wasn't much help. Let's see what you guys can do. |
 |
| Andersen Douwa: Ningyohime (Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Mermaid, 1975) Faithful adaption of Andersen's fairy tale, which means it's sad and hasn't a happy end. Animation style is rather simple, but the story telling is fantastic. Disney's "Arielle" copied many scenes and character designs. A true forgotten masterpiece. (7/10) It's available on youtube in several uploads and languages. I'd recommend this for inclusion into club relations, as it is a highly influential anime - Disney's Arielle heavily draws from it.
