Introductory Post

Greetings, this will be a board for the discussion of classic Anime.

Currently we'll discuss anime from 1999 and further back.

Anime from 2009-2000 will become eligible when 2020 rolls around, and so on and so forth for each passing decade.

Basic rules are as follows:

1. Global rules apply.
2. Porn is allowed but must be spoilered.
3. No spamming or shitposting

That's all for now; rules will expand as board grows.

Have fun, and do not hesitate to air any concerns or provide constructive feedback

>the second Oz book has a subplot about a group of shrieking, whiny females wanting to usurp the male rule of the Scarecrow because muh feminism
>when they rule, they're lazy as fuck, leaving all the work to the men while they do nothing
>gets defeated because all of them feared a single mouse
>obviously created as a parody of the suffrage movement back then
>only the animu version of Wizard of Oz adapts the subplot, all the American movies don't dare to touch it with a ten-feet pole

Back when pic related first came out, I never paid it any mind before because for whatever reason I got the impression that it was just a generic hentai (probably because of the company "Kitty Media.")

Watched this review:

…now I'm going to give it a shot. Seems surprisingly good. I don't always agree with Sage (I found his NGE and Aeon Flux reviews kinda halfass, and his Violence Jack review was an obnoxious cop out.) but he can be a great resource for finding out about hidden gems. Sort've like a video version of Buried Treasure: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/buried-treasure/archive

Also Obscure Old School Anime/Hidden Gems/Buried Treasure General.

What are you watching? thread

Just a general thread to talk about what shows people are watching. What you hate/like about it, etc.

Pic related I'm re-watching Votoms. I was never too fond of the ending - the climax was great, just not the very end. Didn't ruin it or anything, just kind of 'meh'.

Definitely the show that got me into mecha.

First Anime Experience: Retro Edition!

I'll start:

>Late 80's/Early 90's

>Around 7-9 years old
>Older brother works at local video store (starts out as Adventure Land, then changes location twice and becomes 1st Run Video)
>Always brings me home videos from the kid's section (because of this I'm also later exposed to other gems like The Last Unicorn, Puss N Boots, and Metamorphoses/Winds of Change)

>Up to this point, only familiar with animation as Saturday Morning Cartoons, weekday afterschool cartoons, Looney Tunes, etc.

>Brother brings home "Clash of the Bionoids", (a localized and butchered version of Macross: DYRL)

>Even in it's butchered form, proceeds to blow my brain out of my skull

>Dat Cinematography
>Dat Music
>Dem Valkyries
>Dem Zentradi
>Dem Meltrandi
>Dat Max vs Milia fight
>Dat Itano Circus
>Dat surreal and mature vibe (what can I say, I was a kid at the time, and the half hour axed from the movie really made for some awkward edits and storytelling)
>Also didn't hurt that I was too young to realize just how godawful the dub was/is

>Meet lifelong best friend in 2nd grade.

>Has Robotech, Pretty Sammy, Dragon Half, Zenki, and other anime VHS's to fuel my nascent obsession
>Rest is history
