This is a subreddit for fans of older anime and manga. It doesn't matter if you're a classic Toonami kid, a Usenet hero, or someone simply interested in the history of anime, everyone is welcome here. The focus should be on series and titles that were broadcast, or published before 2000, where older fans can gather and discuss the Usenet/BBS days, old school conventions, fan clubs, or whatever, and new fans can ask about those days as well as discussing anime itself.
Welcome to Retro Anime, the place to talk about classic anime and manga of the 90s, 80s, or even older. It doesn't matter if you're a Toonami kid, a Usenet hero, or someone simply interested in the history of anime, all kinds are welcome here.
Quick Rules - PLEASE READ!
Keep links, content, and discussions related to anime and manga series broadcasted or published before 2000.
Fan works are acceptable, so feel free to link to your fan art, fan fiction, cosplay, memes, wallpapers, AMVs, reviews, etc.
Regarding piracy: Do not post any links for illegal streams or downloads of any of the series that are legally available. For series that are provably more difficult to access, do not submit it as a link, but instead make a self-post and link it in the text. Read a fuller version of the rules over in the wiki.
Asking for suggestions or making lists that could include newer and older anime mixed together is fine.
Feel free to link to episodes or sales on websites like Hulu, Crunchyroll, RightStuf, Discotek, Amazon, etc. For YouTube videos, make sure that it is from an official YouTube channel.

Looking for a specific 80s/90s feminine anime
I recall seeing on some list of the most “aesthetic” anime’s one from the 80s or 90s that had a very feminine/romantic look and was known for its fashion. Think long skirts and billowy sleeves on thin teen school girls or young women. Think it was more slice-of-life vs fantasy. Any idea what it could have been?

A.D. Police Files
A prequel to Bubblegum Crisis, it's a three-episode OVA about Leon's early days as an AD Police detective. The show is considerably darker than BC, being cyberpunk noir rather than a superhero series. Lots of violence too. I definitely recommend giving it a watch.

Director Rintaro’s Autobiographical Comic
I was finally able to purchase director Rintaro’s autobiographical manga 「１秒２４コマのぼくの人生」 in japan this winter (the book itself was originally published in french).
It touches upon the snippets of early anime history and is definitely a read if you’re a fan of old-school anime
