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.

Can you recognize all of them?
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?
Anything from medieval, Greek or China fantasy. Thanks :)
Stumbled upon this at my local Book Off.
Project A-Ko is one of my favourite films, is Sailor Moon like it? Any recommendations? Cheers
Sony PlayStation
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.
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
Don't know if this allowed here. I'm looking for a hentai. I'm make short and sweet. It's about alien enforcers. One scene has a devil dick monster called devil dick it's hilarious but I still haven't finished the series. Only watched 2 episodes.
I love this one!
Spoilers alert:
the ending of this series kinda made me a little sad, cuz canal sacrificed herself in the end, but im not sure if she's dead or Alive
My dad gave me this DVD when I was like 9. I love this series and just wanted to share with y’all!
