Patlabor WXIII (Blu-ray) I started a Patlabor franchise rewatch in 2020 and never got round to WXIII for some reason. I seen it several times and it's a film I still really enjoy. I often think the third Patlabor movie is unfairly maligned at times. Yes, SV2 is a side feature rather than the...

X Bomber - Episodes 22 - 25 [Final] So looking forward to talking about this on the podcast!!! 86 - Episodes 19 - 21 This has been a good run of episodes but I haven't been as taken with the second half as I was the first, frustrating that we've got to wait until March for the final few...

X-Bomber - Episodes 20 & 21 Eighty-Six - Episodes 15 - 18 Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 47 & 48 (Blu-ray) Odin - Photon Space Sailor Starlight I haven't watched Odin since I reviewed it for the first episode of the podcast but felt a need to watch it again. It's still slow and overlong but I still...

X-Bomber - Episodes 16 - 19 Eighty-Six - Episodes 13 & 14 Road Buster Bean Bandit (Blu-ray) So the Kickstarter finally arrived, I didn't watch the Vimeo file online last year as I really wanted to watch the Blu-ray when it turned up. So...hmmm...it's a tantalising glimpse into something...

The Legend of Kentauros I had watched this raw earlier in the year in preparation of the motorcycle podcast episode and very happy to see it get a very good fansub from some enthusiasts. I quite liked it and might review it on the podcast at some point. AMAIM Warrior on the Borderline -...

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 36 - 40 (Blu-ray) That's series 2 and the first series of Netto-hen complete, you can definitely see a slight shift, it's still very funny but this series didn't develop Ranma and Akane's relationship as well as before and the animation has taken a dip in quality. X-Bomber...

Hi Everybody, Managed to get one more out this year! Lewis and I take a look at the first 3 City Hunter movies; .357 Magnum, Bay City Wars and Million Dollar Conspiracy. You can listen directly on SoundCloud here: Retro Anime Podcast #29 'Hot in the City Tonight' Or find the podcast on...

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 32 - 35 (Blu-ray) X Bomber - Episodes 3 - 6 AMAIM Warrior on the Borderline - Episodes 10 & 11 Sakugan - Episode 10 Sakugan's climate change message has been relatively subtle so far but they decided to get a sledgehammer behind it in this episodes, now that the wheels...

... and I agree. Given AL have responded well in the past is what drives my frustration with this situation, with all the noise about the repeated issues with the German sets (and there is a lot on Twitter) AL haven't done anything to acknowledge the situation, just a "We're looking into it"...

X-Bomber - Episodes 1 & 2 I'm super excited about this, I'm re-watching this as it's going to the focus of my Mecha March podcast episode. Star Fleet/X-Bomber was right near the top of the list of review content when I was developing the podcast. Can't wait to talk about it!! Short Peace I...

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 19 - 25 (Blu-ray) That's the first series complete and now into the first handful of episodes of the Netto-hen reboot. AMAIM: Warrior at the Borderline - Episode 8 The now obligatory "it's about the characters not the mecha, maannn" episode! I still think Vifam did it...

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 6 - 18 (Blu-ray) Ranma 1/2 hasn't lost any of its charm in the decade since I last saw it, it's still consistently funny and the care that goes into the way Ranma and Akane's relationship develops is beautiful. Plus with the episodes now playing in canonical order, the...

I have a few misgivings about the structure of SDF Macross as a show (listen to the Retro Mecha Podcast review :)) but the romantic love triangle that underpins the story is absolutely fantastic.

Ranma 1/2 - Episodes 1 - 5 (Blu-ray) I've been picking up the Ranma 1/2 BD boxsets in various RightStuf sales over the last couple of years and completed the collection in the summer. I've seen the first series and two of the movies before but some time ago in the early 2010s but I want to work...

AMAIM: Warriors at the Borderline - Episodes 3 & 4 I'm quite enjoying this, especially now they're adding a bit more context to the world. Sakugan - Episode 3 Sakura Wars - Episodes 1 - 4 [Final] (Blu-ray) Sakura Wars has always felt like a bit of an omission in my viewing history and I...

Hokuto no Ken 2 - Episodes 33 - 43 [Final] A great end to the series, I've really enjoyed watching it. It's been an interesting watch as the general discourse I have seen on HnK2 is that it is the poor relation to the first series but I think it's every bit as good (and in some ways better)...

Hokuto no Ken 2 - Episode 28 - 32 Really enjoying this. AMAIM: Warrior of the Borderline - Episode 2 Sakugan - Episodes 1 & 2 There's something about Sakugan that I really like, it's not in the slightest bit original so far but these episodes have a charm that has caught my attention. City...
