Aria: The Animation eps 1 to 3
Watched these with my daughter tonight as something chill before bed. Great laid back stories and def worth picking up as the DotW on AoL site.
However… in the dub, the male character is the same voice actor as the perv guy from Re: Cutie Honey and it’s breaking...
Angel Cop OVAs
What the hell have I just watched? Before saying anything else, I watched the dub and not “that version” of the sub 😳 given the order of the world right now, I just couldn’t do that to myself.
Thankfully the dub is also noteworthy for more fun reasons, mostly that it’s a bonkers...
What’s the series like? From the tiny fragments I’ve heard, it sounds like a vigilante version of Tokyo Revengers minus the time travel. I really liked the TR anime but I have not read any of the manga.
You’d enjoy the other two films then as they have about one more mecha fight in 🤣 they are mostly detective or political based thrillers where there happens to be a robot instead of a police car at some point 🤣
Patlabor 3: WXIII Film
I can see why people call this a side story. You could have replaced the SV2 with anyone and it would have worked. Plot wise it doesn’t hold a candle to the other two movies but it’s a fun ride. My biggest gripe, while looking fantastic, the SV2 characters looked a little...
I thought I’d revisit the post and let you know how I’ve been getting on. Some of the titles below are 60/70s but I figured they are still “classic” anime. I’ve also included a few early 90s series and OVAs because they still give me that same nostalgic feeling.

I think it depends who uploaded it. I’ve noticed some studios upload VHS copies of things on there. So I guess that’s somewhat legit. I found the complete Cutie Honey Flash on there uploaded by a random person. As I can’t buy those legit, I downloaded the mkv files. I then used Handbreak to...
From what I can see, New Cutie Honey and Universe are the only ones “easily” (via import) available. I ordered New Cutie Honey as it wasn’t that expensive from Amazon. I’ve also seen Cutie Honey Flash is on the Internet Archive and the MKV files have English subs. I might check it out there to...
Patlabor 2 Film
I’m gonna say it, it was better than the first one. Rare example. The backgrounds are awesome, the Pats look cool in their flak jackets. The plot was slow, mysterious and brooding and then the end action sequence was really cool. I didn’t mind that the whole squad wasn’t in it...
I bought the Discotek release, so I watched that. It’s one of those “Anno is a fan” projects where he just turns the volume of every thing up to 11 except the tits and are which get turned up to 69 (duuuude). I think all 3 episodes clock in under 2 and a half hours total, so it’s a quick ride...
Re: Cutie Honey OVAs
I went in blind to these other than knowing it’s Go Nagai, so I was expecting ludicrous results. Oh, and Anno was the Chief Director.
Absolutely bonkers in the best way. Generally I’m not a massive fan of excessive fan service but this produced it in such an over the top...
I enjoyed Under Ninja too. The time skip does make stuff way more confusing than it needs to be and I didn’t think it added much to it to be honest. Great show and I’d be disappointed if they didn’t continue it.
After enjoying Re:Cutie Honey I instantly want to see more 🤣 Hajime no Ippo has been on my list to buy for ages and I’ll order the other two when I get paid from my next job. Also the Crunchyroll stuff had been sitting in my cart for the best part of a month already 🤣
The Rarewaves stuff was...
Last couple of days I went a little silly… no more for a while…
