Old school anime - your favourite?

[Miaka-chan]

I seem to have been watching an awful lot of older anime at the moment and I was just wondering what everyone's favourite pre 1990 anime is?!

Mine would either be Ranma 1/2 or Orange Road, as I can only vote once, I'm choosing Orange Road

 

[Mangaminx]

I either haven't seen any of these or strongly dislike the ones I have seen :? .

 

[Ramen89]

Dragonball/DBZ, but the original japanese episodes, not the butchered Funimation ones.

 

[Rurouni H]

What, no Zeta Gundam?

Macross wins. I need a giant robot fix whatever the decade.

 

[buddy]

Patlabor for me- not really familiar with most of the stuff on that list though. Got all 47 eps of Patlabor TV now, its a great show.

 

[Tessai]

Fist of the North Star still reigns supreme

 

[otaku_kei]

hmmm its close between YuYu Hakusho, FOTNS, Patlabor & Macross, but Macross really does just get in there.

 

[Shades]

was a close call between Fist of the north star and DBZ but the fist wins my vote

 

[IanC]

not the butchered Funimation ones.

I hope you mean the butchered SABAN episodes, since all FUNi did was change the music. And that isnt butchering.

Anyway, wot no Gundam?

 

[Ramen89]

Well I thought it was Funimation seeing as they were the ones that actually licensed it.

 

[Hybridchild]

Gundam 0079 should really be on the list. Either was Macross is my favorite anime of any time period. Patlabor is cool too.

 

[subedii]

Well, I've only really seen Macross in its Robotech form, if that counts. Patlabor, I also really liked, but I've only seen the first 2 movies, none of the OAV's.

Actually, I saw Dominion Tank police a long time ago, but I can't really remember it, so I couldn't comment.

 

[kupocake]

What, no Zeta Gundam?

Indeed. And not 0079 - the only good thing I feel I got out of watching that was a sense of who was who in Zeta...

Of the list I vote Ranma 1/2 of course I've often wondered how many people with Gender Identity Issues have traveled China looking for a cursed spring to fall in...

 

[The Judge]

I'm sorry but I have to say Macross (Robotech). Just brings back so many childhood memories. I've still got a Veritech fighter at home! I found a site a few years ago that used to stream the episodes and saw the whole first series again pretty much but alas the site was shut down

 

[valha]

i went with ranma as its one of tmt favorite shows ever.

 

[Charter_Mage]

I said Draginball/DBZ, aside from the fact i've always really liked Dragonball Z i havn't actually seen any of the others, well appart from the first two volumes of Yu Yu Hakusho

 

[Colin]

Well, I voted for Ranma ½, which I think is my favourite there. However, I've recently seen Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water, and rather liked it. Well, around 90-95% of it, anyway. And I haven't watched the movie yet, which is apparently quite dreadful ... but overall I still liked it a lot.

Of course, there are always Ghibli (and similar) movies, but that goes without saying. Well, it would have done if I weren't here, anyway.

Part of the problem is that I forget when things get made, so I don't really know what counts. Plus I'm too lazy to look that sort of thing up.

Ah HG and there customary C&D orders. Is your Valkyrie (Veritech) a Bandai one yeah? I dont have any of them but i have 8 of the modern Yamato ones an a heap load of other non-transforming ones and a few Destroids too

Laputa 1986.
Totoro 1988.
Kiki's Delivery Service 1989.
I didn't include any Ghibli movies because everyone would have voted for them! and I was trying to pick TV series/OVAs, rather than movies.
Plus all polls are subject to 10 options, which is why there's no Gundam etc.
You couldn't ask for a more varied choice though! Romance, to punch-ups, to comedy, to mechs and even gender issues :lol:

 

[Gryphon]

I`ll have to say Dominion Tank Police, just because it was the very first anime DVD I brought back in the days when I was still 15 and just been introduced to anime by the late night channel 4 showing of anime.

Ahhh bless the days when you could watch tenticles come out of the floor and do sexual things to a cartoon girl on channel 4. Where have those days gone LOL.
