Re: Post your Top 5 classic Anime
Vampire Hunter D, Wicked City and Akira are from the '80s. But anyway, here are mine:
1. Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love? (1984) 2. Kimagure Orange Road (1987) 3. Bubblegum Crisis (1987) 4. Windaria (1986) 5. Angel's Egg (1985) Others that I like a lot: Galaxy Express 999, Megazone 23, Vampire Princess Miyu, Maison Ikkoku, Record of Lodoss War |
Re: Post your Top 5 classic Anime
These were the first that I remember seeing (this is heavily influenced by the robot genre, which unfortunately does not seem very popular here). As a kid, I understood a very small amount of Japanese, but watching these raw without subtitles is what got me into anime:
Mazinger Z (1973), which actually was shown before I was born, but which I loved because of the toys and the sequels (Great Mazinger, Grendizer). Finally released in 1985 as Tranzor Z here. A remake is airing now. Brave Raideen (1976): the chogokin toy was actually my first toy, passed down from my cousin. Space Captain Harlock: Still my favorite of Leiji Matsumoto's space operas, even surpassing my love of Space Battleship Yamato/Star Blazers. The thing is, I have no idea which of the series is the one I saw as a kid. It certainly was not Macek's butchering of the series, which came after he did Robotech, but I cannot remember exactly. Mobile Suit Gundam (1979): they showed this, raw, in a Japanese dept. store in the mall every Summer. Superdimensional Fortress Macross (1982). Loved the mecha so much that I didn't even notice the changes Macek made when this was released as the first part of Robotech in 1985 Later on, we'd also borrow raw tapings of Japanese tv shows from the local video store, and I'd be remiss if I neglected Akira Toriyama's Dragon Ball. There were many, many shonen titles that I loved, mainly because the fighting storylines were basic enough that you didn't need to understand what they were saying, but we would always be eager to watch Dragon Ball first. In what I like to consider the era of translated Anime on VHS (oh, the hundreds of dollars of tapes I spent my money on), I remember these fondly: Aim For the Top/Gunbuster: I still remember US Renditions releasing this and Dangaioh in those clamshell cases in 1990. Kimagure Orange Road: Despite my love for Ranma, I was never much of a Urusei Yatsura or Bubblegum Crisis fan, so this always stands out to me as my first Animeigo tapes Ranma 1/2: I followed the manga closely, but I grew to love the dubbing on Viz's early release. Neon Genesis Evangelion: I remember buying the subbed tapes, two or so episodes at a time, eagerly awaiting each new release. That last tape was a letdown, I won't lie, and I still have never watched either of the movies. My Neighbor Totoro: perhaps not the best Miyazaki film, but still my favorite. |
