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...

Welcome to the forum :)

Hi Everybody, Here's our first episode of the year. Lewis and I review two very different OVAs To-y and Yagami-kun's Family Affair. You can listen directly on SoundCloud here: Retro Anime Podcast #31 'Toy Families' Or find the podcast on Amazon Music, iTunes, TuneIn, Spotify, Stitcher...

Powered Armor Dorvack - Episodes 3 - 13 After an indifferent run of episodes at the start of the series Dorvack has got really good from episode 10. Nadia: The Secret of the Water - The Motion Picture A cash in 'sequel' that doesn't really have the room to tell the story it wants Royal Space...

Muv Luv Alternative - Episodes 21 - 24 [Final] A bit of a clumsy final few episodes but on the whole it was a lot better than I was expecting it to be. Star Dust (1992 OVA) There is finally a fansub of this, so instantly watched it and like most of the these kinda 'lost' anime it's hyped...

Muv Luv Alternative - Episodes 13 - 20 This second half of the series is decidedly darker than the first and it's been quite good so far. Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury - Episode 12 Hmm, an interesting episode but I'm not sure it all adds up in my view 🤔

Hi Everybody, Lewis and I will be recording our next episode in the next week. This time another couple of unlicensed OVAs with reviews of To-Y and Yagami's Family Affair. Reply here with any questions or comments you have for us. Many thanks, Ian

Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water - Episodes 23 - 39 [Final] (Blu-ray) I can understand all the fuss about this show now, the island arc does dissipate all the tension that was building up to a massive conclusion, it wasn't bad though like I thought it was going to be based on what I'd read and...
