Old School Anime suggestions

[MyraMistweave]

Project A-ko! I didn't think most people had even heard of it anymore...

[xethanx]

No way, I would only call something old school if it aired in the 80's - something less then 10 years old is not old school.

The 1990's was 10-20 years ago...


(Yes, that scares me, too.)

I love the old school stuff! For sure, Akira, Urusei Yatsura and Ranma. Plus the Patlabor movies, Demon City Shinjuku, Domino Tank Police, Royal Space Force, etc, etc.

Get off my lawn!! T.T

I'm catching up on older things right now. I've got my Dirty Pair OVAs and I am halfway through the movie Lily C.A.T. (stopped due to events happening).
I'm hoping to get some StarBlazers/Space Battleship Yamato soon and watching some of that.

Wolf's Rain. It's not too terribly old, but it's amazing.

Wolf Rain is awesome and my friends like it.. btw can anyone give me a list of any old animes. I don't really know very many

*hobbles in and sits slowly, adjusting her cane across her legs* Ahem...Can someone get an old granny some water?

Anyway, a list for you, specifically because you requested it:

Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind (watch it, then pick up the manga. It's worth it.)
Grave of the Fireflies
Ronin Warriors / Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (my first love!)
Kimegure Orange Road ( <3<3<3<3<3<3 )
The Rose of Versailles
Project A-ko
Original Bubblegum Crisis (forego Crash. Really)
Megazone 23
Macross
Mobile Suite Gundam (original, War in the Pocket, Stardust Memory)
Dominion Tank Police
3x3 Eyes (manga's way, way, way better)
Riding Bean
Gunsmith Cats
Ranma 1/2
Urusei Yatsura
Lupin the 3rd
Dirty Pair (original)
Cutey Honey (original campy tv series)
Devilman (again...original)
Nadia: the Secret of Blue Water
AIM FOR THE TOP (a.k.a. Gunbuster)
Otaku no Video
Record of the Lodoss War
Iria: Zeiram
Space Battleship Yamato
Galaxy Express 999
Space Pirate Captain Harlock
Queen Emeraldas

And...if you want to spend countless hours and hours on the most beautiful gem of space operas ever made:
Legend of Galactic Heroes


I didn't actually research any of the dates, but I'm sure that all of these are at LEAST 10...if not 20 years old. 70's, 80's, some early nineties stuff in this list...before anime became really popular here in the US. I could be wrong on a few of them, but I tried to list only the ones that stuck out as older in my head. This is not, by any means, a comprehensive list, and many of my favorite anime aren't on this list because they fall into what I consider as Anime Middle-Age, not Old-Age. >_>

You forgot the wonderful "Fushigi Yugi"

[Midnightstar696969]

Thankz you guys! that helped me alot. I only knew about two of those Fushigi Yugi inculded

[Hana]

You forgot the wonderful "Fushigi Yugi"

That one's not old! If it is....it makes me older than I wanna be, lol. FY is totally Middle-Aged, yo! ^_~

[Midnightstar696969]

of course that's why i know it... either way no one's really old unless they feel that way!

[anime_fan_800]

First off I wanted to thank the staff for showing You're Under Arrest in the viewing room this year. Its a nice little anime.

I guess for a few good suggestion for and older anime series to show would have to be:

1.The Ghost in the Shell movie.---but i see that may not be possible due to all the nudity.
2. Gundam Wing
3. Akira
4. Castle in the Sky
5. Patlabor the Movie
6. Cyborg 009
7. Blue submarine No. 6

these are just a few ideas. Disregard the ones that have already been shown in previous Cons.

[saiyamanmasenko]

I know some of these may have been said, but I can't double-check everything.

Fist of the North Star
Vampire Hunter D (the first one)
original Dirty Pair
Street Fighter II V (pronounced 2 Vee)
Slayers
Kimba the White Lion
Gatchaman (the original series that became Battle of the Planets and G-Force in the US)
Mazinger
Maison Ikoku
Urusei Yatsura
M.D. Geist
Ninja Scroll the movie
RG Veda
Tokyo Babylon
X (watch the series, not the movie)
