Megaton Musashi - Episodes 14 - 18 Time to pick this up now that its troubled release has finally come to an end. So far I'm actually enjoying this a lot and liking it more than the first half. The Galactic Fish - Ursa Minor Blue An interesting OVA from the early 90's and very much a pet...

That was one of the scenes I was referring to (and thanks for looking into it btw), to be honest I didn't expect there to be any connection but the similarity was too great to not pique my interest.

Samurai 7 - Episodes 19 - 26 [Final] ( Blu-ray) I've had a really good time watching Samurai 7 again, it has the right blend of action, comedy and character interest and it stands up really well. One of the bonuses of having the blu-ray is that it comes with an excellent Dolby TrueHD soundtrack...

Samurai 7 - Episodes 10 - 18 (Blu-ray) Still really enjoying this re-watch. One thing I've noticed now (with the benefit of watching lots of other anime in the meantime) is that a couple of episodes have a few scenes where the character artwork and animation looks like it has come straight from...

Hi Everybody, Lewis and I will be recording our next episode over the weekend. We will be taking a look at a couple of animal themed war movies with reviews of Bremen 4: Angels in Hell and Penguin's Memory: A Tale of Happiness. Reply here with any questions or comments you have for us...

Samurai 7 - Episodes 1 - 9 (Blu-ray) I originally watched Samurai 7 just after it aired and really liked it's mix of samurai lore and mecha, I partially rewatched it on Malaysian TV will I was working out there a few years later I was really enjoying again but the trip finished with a few...

Ruins Legend Acrobunch - Episodes 15 - 24 [Final] The last 5 episodes got a bit better but overall Acrobunch just felt clunky and goofy with quite basic animation. There were quite a few nice ideas in it but the execution was weak, it wasn't that I didn't like Acrobunch it was just a shrug of...

Ruins Legend Acrobunch - Episodes 1 - 14 Over half way through and I'm feel kinda indifferent about Acrobunch, it has a great core premise but the execution is weak except for episode 12, which was a spectacularly good episode, so much so that it felt like there was a completely different...

Hi Everybody, I'm happy to say our March March 2023 episode is out where the 3 of us had a great time talking about X-Bomber and Star Fleet. You can listen directly on SoundCloud here: Retro Anime Podcast #32 'Mecha March 2023' Or find the podcast on Amazon Music, iTunes, TuneIn, Spotify...

That was how I felt about 86 as well.

Psycho Armor Govarian - Episodes 8 - 26 [Final] Govarian was a pretty good show, an interesting story with cool antagonist ship and mecha designs and I enjoyed it a lot, although it did have a rather strange cast of characters!

Psycho Armor Govarian - Episodes 1 - 7 Another series I watched raw many years ago, so far it's a really interesting show and I'm really keen to watch more. Cyber City Oedo 808 - Episodes 1 - 3 [Final] (Blu-ray) Anime Ltd's remastered release arrived last week (now the 4th time I've bought...

Hi Everybody, After failing miserably last year, Craig, Lewis and I will be recording our X Bomber Mecha March special this weekend, please reply here with any questions or comments. Thanks for listening, Ian

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 126 - 133 (Blu-ray) Bremen 4: Angels in Hell Another watch ahead of a review on the podcast. Far East of Eden: Ziria Oboro-hen - Episodes 1 & 2 [Final] A fun, well paced and actually very enjoyable OVA based on the popular RPG series. I took my grandsons to see Puss in...

I liked Fireworks it was good in a similar way to Hana and Alice but I though Hana and Alice was better imho.

The TV series was a prequel to the OVA and Scar was a sequel. I've never seen the TV series but might look it up now.

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 116 - 126 (Blu-ray) Had a long enough break to get back into Ranma 1/2 and now on to set 6 which covers the rest of season 6 and the start of season 7. Still funny and endearing as ever and episode 124 'The Missing Matriarch of Martial Arts Tea' had me in stitches...

Powered Armor Dorvack - Episodes 20 - 36 [Final] Such a good mecha show, it's been nice to be able to finally watch it with subtitles, one thing that hasn't changed since I watched it raw well over a decade ago is that the animation still holds up, it's really good looking for a mid-80's mecha...

Powered Armor Dorvack - Episodes 14 - 19 Still good and I'd forgotten how good the music is! D-1 Devastator - Episodes 1 & 2 [Final] I watched this not long ago, but a new fansub was recently released that finally subbed the second episode. I didn't need much an excuse to watch it again, it's...
