Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Episode 8 That was a really good episode. Golden Warrior Gold Lightan - Episodes 48 - 52 [Final] Now to prepare for the review on the podcast. Synduality Noir - Episode 13

5 Centimeters Per Second I'll admit I've been quite dismissive of Makoto Shinkai's work in the past (I think because of all the hype that surrounded him years ago) and while I don't think his films are perfect the more I see of them the more I am beginning to really appreciate his craft...

Bio-Booster Armor Guyver - Episodes 7 - 8 Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Episode 6 Golden Warrior Gold Lightan - Episodes 44 & 45 Cream Lemon - Episodes 13 - 18 Completed another tranche of this as there were certain episodes I wanted to see as part of my background research into Project A-Ko...

Bio-Booster Armor Guyver - Episodes 1 - 6 Watching Project A-Ko again and looking back at that early to mid 90's anime scene while prepping for the podcast review made me feel quite nostalgic and I ended up really wanting to watch this again. I absolutely loved this series and watched it over...

All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku (OAV) - Episodes 1 - 6 [Final] This was very entertaining and frequently made me laugh out loud. Project A-Ko Lewis and I guested on another podcast to talk about this, so watched it again so the film was fresh in my memory ahead of the review. I first...

Ninja Robot Tobikage - Episodes 34 - 41 This is essentially the end of the series as the final two episodes are recap episodes told from Hazard's perspective. I've enjoyed Tobikage a lot more this time round, I find it still has some of the same pacing issues as I did first time round and it...

Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Episode 2 Whoever was writing the subtitles for this episode must have been in hysterics while they were doing it especially while Bravern was describing how he felt while Isami was 'entering' him to the military officials 😂. It was good fun but I agree with the ANN...

Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Episode 1 Very happy to see Masami Obari back with a new mecha show. This first episode felt very much by the numbers but it was great fun and I can't wait to see more. Urusei Yatsura - Only You Having only just recently finished all the the Ranma 1/2 anime I want a...

Momotaro: Sacred Sailors The Spider and the Tulip I've had the Anime Ltd boxset sat on the shelf for far too long and I've been meaning to watch this for ages. I love historival films like this and they are fascinating films, especially Scared Sailors which offers a very interesting insight...

Laputa - Castle in the Sky I wanted to watch this again after seeing The Boy and The Heron a few days earlier. It's still probably my favourite Miyazaki film, I think it's a fantastic adventure romp with excellent characters and action and perfectly paced to boot. I also love the way it looks...

Hi Everybody, We managed to squeeze one more in this year. This time a trio of 80's sci-fi horror/thriller OVAs with obvious influences with reviews of Roots Search, Hell Target and Lily C.A.T. You can listen directly on SoundCloud here: Retro Anime Podcast #34 'How Long Were You Alone With...

The Boy and the Heron I really enjoyed The Boy and the Heron, I thought it was classic Miyazaki, vibrant, colourful and enchanting and wonderfully complex at the same time. Ranma 1/2: Battle at Togenkyo! Get Back the Brides! A re-watch of this movie to complete my viewing of all the Ranma 1/2...

Ninja Robot Tobikage - Episodes 2 - 6 Bullbuster - Episodes 1 - 6 Quite an interesting premise but feels a bit slow. Godzilla Minus One I quite enjoyed this Godzilla film, plays a bit lose with history and a bit uneven in the first half but the third act was fantastic.

Crusher Joe - Ultimate Weapon Ash I often feel that Ultimate Weapon Ash is the poor relation of the Crusher Joe anime and while even I would say it isn't quite as good as The Ice Prison (which I absolutely love) I still think its a really enjoyable OVA, yes, the story is quite simplistic but it...

I watched Star Fleet when it originally aired in 1982. I reviewed it earlier in the year on my podcast for Mecha March. Retro Anime Podcast #32 'Mecha March 2023'

Hi Everybody, Lewis and I will be recording our next episode today. We will be taking a look at a some 80's OVAs with obvious influences with reviews of Roots Search, Hell Target and Lily C.A.T. Reply here with any questions or comments you have for us. Many thanks, Ian

Ranma 1/2 OVA Series - Episodes 10 & 11 [Final] (Blu-ray) The OVA series finishes off with another couple of really good episodes. Aim for the Ace: The Movie (Blu-ray) I'm sure I've read on these forums (I think it was @Professor Irony) that this movie is like a taster for the main series and...

Ranma 1/2 OVA Series - Episodes 4 - 9 (Blu-ray) Team Ranma vs. The Legendary Phoenix (Blu-ray) The OVA series has continued to be a lot of fun and I thought episode 9 was really funny. Team Ranma is the third movie was more like a very well animated (it looked great) slightly extended TV...

Ranma 1/2 OVA Series - Episodes 1 - 3 (Blu-ray) I want to get the last of the Ranma 1/2 anime finished this year so started the last of Viz's boxsets. I've gone out of order slightly as I haven't had the opportunity to watch the movies before the OVA series, but I have seen the movies before...
