What retro OVAs have you been watching lately /a/? I've knocked out Dangaioh, Assemble Insert, and Shin Hurricane Polymer lately.

Rewatching Dirty Pair Flash

Ruin Explorers.
F@m my waifu

>>281775485
I watched Flash and could never fully get into it. It never really hit the same as the original Dirty Pair which I love.

Currently watching Z-Mind.

>>281775569
>>281775485

They really weren't into feet back then huh?

>>281775569
Cute retard that causes trouble for her less retarded yet still retarded friend.

>>281774587 (OP)
Watched gaogaigar final, mellowlink, black magic m-66, second patlabor ova, zeorymer, and rewatched hellsing ultimate over the last 2 weeks or so.

>>281774587 (OP)
MINKU!!
Someday well have a full anime adaptation.

>>281775485
God that picture is sexy.

>>281775692
It's 2025 so your full adaption will be full CG and censored.

Will we ever seen an anime/animation renaissance that returns to the quality of OVAs from the 80's and 90's?

>>281774587 (OP)
watched the MAZE OVAs, they were fun.

>>281777287
Not unless the OVA itself comes back.

neo tokyo
crusher joe
gatchaman
X
doomed megalopolis
probably a couple more I can't recall atm

>>281775569
Ruin Explorers. Fuck yeah.

I've watched Shin Kujaku-oh a while ago.

>>281775485
Kino
>>281775594
They were sometimes

>>281777727
nobody makes VHS's any more. They're ONA's now and /a/ avoids them like the plague since they're mostly published on netflix

Gude Crest. Basically fantasy Dirty Pair. Got one OVA/movie. Wish it got more. But it's fun if you want more fantasy stuff from that era

>>281774587 (OP)
I was rewatching Dangaioh recently, mostly for the opening theme. Started KO Beast, and somehow I never realized it was a mecha show. Reminds me a bit of Ryuu Knight so it's up my alley, at least.
>>281777727
>>281779163
It's more about access to easy money anyway. Even if Japan gets another bubble economy, I doubt we'll see the same sort of speculative investment in anime again, so there would have to be some sort of new, likely dubious, funding scheme to prop up the industry. And there's also the issue of taste and market demand that would need to shift if you're after a certain type of look.

>>281779470
>Started KO Beast, and somehow I never realized it was a mecha show.
I rather like it

>>281775485

>>281774587 (OP)
The genre I miss the most is gory horror OVAs. There's been no real replacement for them in all this time. Closest I can think of is Dark Gathering.

I wonder if we'll ever get an Arslan adaptation that doesn't end unresolved.

>>281779798
Anon, the "resolution" of Arslan is the author ragequitting and everyone dies because le depression.

>>281779831
I am aware but I'd at least like a version that gets far enough to take back Echbatana. the current manga seems to be wrapping up in that direction but we'll see which way the climax goes

>>281779798
it's called Zenshu

>>281774587 (OP)
starting Bubblegum Crisis.

>>281774587 (OP)
This show really should have been longer than 2 episodes. Gives you just enough to get a good taste then ends.

>>281780387
Gatchaman got at least 3

>>281779580
K.O. Beast is a near perfect example of an OVA

>>281781337
Speaking of things that meet that criteria, Gaiarth was rad as hell and I wish it was better well known. And had a better quality release, fuck me alive there are far too many OVAs and older series stranded on dated media formats that direly need an HD release

>>281781380
Thanks for reminding that I had this one downloaded, I'll watch it after I'm done with Z-Mind

>>281781398
It is neat.

>>281774587 (OP)
I want to get into retro OVAs. But every time I try to, all the recommendations I get are like Ogerish videos, and then all the modern discussion around them is exactly how people talked about gore videos on that site. Maybe I want good animation and characters instead.

>>281781413
This thread has had multiple quality suggestions. I don't know where you've been reading but you're looking the wrong place.

I actually have a certain fondness for the one off OVA. Even if they don't tell a full story by themselves I think there's something neat about just seeing a set up, some characters and a fantasy world they're in. It's like reading an old pulp story.

>>281781439
I'm not sure when 4chan gave more hinged recommendations than major social media platforms that are meant to have stricter moderation. But here we are. I noticed a lot of Tenchi. I love Tenchi, perfect choice.

>>281781552
We give better recommendations (when allowed) BECAUSE we're not as strictly moderated. We're not beholding to just whatever is popular trendy or even what sounds NICE. We're here to talk about shit we actually give a fuck about. And since we got at least a few old fucks still around we might know a thing or two about a thing or two.

>>281774587 (OP)
Garzey's Wing

the Ys OVA was pretty alright

>>281782333
God I want this on BD so bad. The later DVD is nice enough but I want it.

Why are retro showa mouthbreather threads so much inferior to söyjak and pepe threads? If the entire thread was replaced with those it would be a vast improvement

>>281781380
Now there's a blast from the past. It was one of the first anime I watched back in the day when VHS was still a thing. Nowadays, I mainly remember it for the cool whip swords the knights used and it's generally soundtrack these days. The guitar section around 3:20 is still firmly embeded in my mind:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfuDQUyE4Yc&t=200s

>>281784368
Meant to write "its generally great vintage soundtrack"

>>281779360
watching this now

Been a while since I've watched any older anime, but I when I'm in the mood I continue with an episode or two of Future Police Urashiman and it's a fun romp.

>>281775594
Bro... Half of Ruin Exolorers is this catgirl showing her bare feet.

>>281774587 (OP)
I wanted to like Lodoss, but it's really clear how it was just a shit-tier D&D campaign.
It's just really, really fucking uninteresting. I wish I liked it because I like the mid-90s style of it, but it's just kind of empty.

Recently watched the Silent Mobius movies and tv series was funny how the final message was that they are an all-female unit because they are able to create life and in the future will have children to raise the next generation. You'd never see a message like that in a show today.

>>281784817
the second movie holds a special place in my heart but I deadass cannot remember most of what happened in the show. Originally I just checked it out just because tvtropes mentioned the MC namedrops Cthulhu when powering up her dagger

>>281774587 (OP)
>Eighty's
>Ninety's
I forgive you because you posted Deedlit, just know that it's '80s and '90s as shortened from 1980s and 1990s.

>>281781380
Goddamn anon are you me? I just finished watching this last night.
Enjoyed it a lot.

>>281784849
the apostrophe indicates ownership. these works belong to their respective decades. like greg's van.

>>281784971
I prefer Greg's hotel.

I haven't rewatched particularly recently, but I'm extremely fond of Tobira wo Akete
Genmu Senki Leda is also great

>>281774587 (OP)
God bless the 90's for having high budget ecchi that had nice action and a real fetish for military vehicles.

>>281781380
I feel you on that anon, can't tell you how many OVAs I watch that I wish had a proper BD release. It's a damn shame Calfornia Crisis only ever got a VHS release and not even a DVD release.

>>281782346
>>281782333
I gotta say as far as DVDs goes this has a really good DVD release. Still would love a BD though.

Making a friend watch LoGH

>>281785734
The lines here are way better than the scenery.

>>281784971
80s = Eighties
80's = Eighty's
This is basic English. 1980s is shortened to '80s.

I'm now convinced nge stole ideas from this one.

Pussy crybaby pilot kid - check.
Mad scientist raising his "daughter" - check
Crazy master plan boy goes against in the end - check

Overall pretty good but too short.

>>281785734
I know nobody was really expecting media preservation or the advance of home video technology back then but it's just a bit sad in hindsight how many things are effectively forgotten to the ages. Hell even finding decent quality images of things can be a challenge on its own.

>>281774587 (OP)
Why do so many OVAs have amazing animation but mediocre stories?

>>281786373
most of NGE's inherited ideas are pretty easy to track
>Shinji is boy Nadia. Because he's a boy he gets look down on for things that characters tolerated or saw as endearing in Nadia
>Gendo is 'Nadia's dad but evil' on paper and visually he draws from Professor Shizuma from Giant Robo and Doctor Tenma from Astro Boy. but he also has archtypal ties to the captain in Space Battleship Yamato who was the inspiration for Captain Nemo/Nadia's dad (along with the original Captain Nemo by Orson Welles)
>SEELE are the Neo-Atlanteans from Nadia represented by Monoliths from Space Odyssey
>lore-wise, evas and angels are both 'giant warrior gods' from nausicaa. visually and aesthetically, the evas resemble and fight like Casshern Neo Human, in no small part due to much of the combat scenes being done by Tatsunoko
>the bridge scenes, launch sequences, OST, OP, and overall aesthetic come from Gerry Anderson's UFO. NERV is functionally the same as SHADO
>Rei is based on Lt. Gay Ellis, a SHADO operative on the moonbase in UFO
>Kaworu is Satan/Akira from Devilman
>Instrumentality is inspired by the Ide in Space Runaway Ideon
>Second Impact comes from the planetary devastation in Nausicaa and Future Boy Conan
>the aesthetics of the angels and all the cross imagery comes from Ultraman
also mention to Laputa Castle In the Sky which is the memetic link between Future Boy Conan and Nausicaa

>>281786752
Because shorter run times mean they can better focus the budget but also means they don't have as much space to develop their plots. And what do you even mean by "mediocre" stories anyways. Most of the time they do exactly what they set out to do to a pretty decent extent. I swear the internet has turned every dullard with an opinion into a critic who wouldn't know a story if a novel smacked them in the head.

>>281786752
because they were mostly made by a bunch of animators pooling their spare cash and much of the time none of them had any experience writing before

God now there's my kingdom for a bluray

Im watching Captain Harlock for the first time
Almost 10 episodes in
Its very goof

>>281787960
That was wild

>>281787960
I meant to say good by the way
But you knew that already

>>281787960
Ye, I watched Harlock for the first time myself earlier this year. My only previous exposure was the CGI movie so I was surprised at how the main focus was Harlock's invisible war rather than actually being space outlaws. I was also surprised to find out Queen Esmerelda is actually her own character in the setting. I'd seen her movie at some point and just assumed the idea was she existed in an AU timeline where she was Maetel if Maetel became Harlock, so to speak

>>281788075
Leiji likes to toss a lot of his characters around all over the place. They show up in Galaxy Express as well.

I really should watch it again. It's been so long, I remember them more from Scramble Wars than their original OVA.

Rance - Sabaku no Guardian

not technically a OVA but still good. its funny how much of that show is about a little girl getting bullied

>>281775485
I like Dirty Pair, but I can't help, but feel thats its one of the most overrated anime of all time.

>>281787721
Actual sin this beautiful piece of animation doesn't have a BD

>>281774587 (OP)
I've been learning how to recognize vampires.

>>281787721
A lot of OVAs had a similar dynamic. As I remember, Zeorymer isn't even that great to look at because the animation is so limited. It's one of those shows that looks better in stills.

>>281790421
Yep, it's true. He didn't like the inclusion because it made her the main reason for Harlock caring about Earth, instead of him seeing the good in people and believing that everyone could become a better person.

>>281791171
Man, I love Miime so much. She's such a beautiful person, and her voice is pure ASMR to my ears.

Speaking of the Leijiverse, I'm almost done with Galaxy Express 999. I know that I still have the movies and specials to look forward to, but I'm not ready to reach the final station yet.

>>281800161
It's a shame that they didn't keep Maetel's design from the first episode. I get why they make her look older in the later episodes, since it fits way better with her role in the story, but she looks so pretty in that first episode, and more in line with Matsumoto's style.

>>281800294
>more in line with Matsumoto's style.
For comparison's sake.

>>281803573
>BD "remaster" just upscales and sharpens a 480i DVDrip

>>281783389
Word of advice from someone who just finished this series, don't even bother with S2. The animation budget gets dropped to $0 and it's just a choppy ugly mess to look at.

>>281802914
I liked that one a lot, my favorite episode was either the leaning tower one or the finale.

>>281804026
It really depresses me how so few people care about actual video quality in their video format. If it's not cropped to fuck to fake widescreen it's denoised to hell. Disctotek puts out some okay releases but they're one company but nobody else cares because they don't think the audience will care and the saddest part is they're right. People will see bars on the sides or top and botton and lose their damn mind.

>>281774587 (OP)
Area 88. was absolutely sick

>>281804468
Just watched this one a week ago.

Watch Nightwalker, it started out a 4 episodes long OVA, but a TV producer liked what he saw enough to turn it into a 13 episodes long show so they used the first 4 episodes originally produced to be OVAs as the show's first arc and then produced 9 more episodes with a TV budget so the show would be 13 episodes long, I'm just saying this because while the show takes a HUGE fall in terms of quality after episode 4 they didn't tone down any of the blood and nudity the OVAs had surprisingly enough so the episodes produced for TV still have gore and tits

>>281779580
>>281781337
After checking the credits it's no wonder I thought of Ryu Knight, Ito Takehiko was character designer for both. The credits for KO Beast are kinda nuts, Ito (who also did Outlaw Star) is co-creator with the guys behind Saber Marionette J, among other things. It's a team-up of standard-bearers of the 90s. A certain type of standard anyway.

Especially V-Darn, I don't think you'll find a Human (elf) who looks like this in another decade.

>>281805044
Speaking of vampire stuff, the Master Of Mosquiton OVAs are pretty good, too bad the TV anime is straight up shit, avoid that show like the plague and stick to the OVAs only, I had never seen such a drop in quality between OVA and TV before

>>281806209
what about the snes game?

>>281806331
Never touched it. I saw it looked like some Isekai thing were some Japanese highschoolers show up to join with the Villgust characters and just had no interest. This was back in the SNES days were that shit wasn't turned quite so shit so maybe its okay.

Recently finished it myself. How did you enjoy heavy melder?

Garduation was a short OVA based on the raising sim of the same name. It was a somewhat charming series about a group of girls pondering life and what they want to do once they move out into the world.

>>281808847
Which turns out is piloting giant robots because it got a weird, yet entertaining, AU spinoff called Sailor Victory in which they did just that. SRW when?

Add another one for the desperately needs a BD list. Do you ever really worry that old media isn't becoming lost so much as it becomes forgotten? Studio fire catches and all the masters are lost? That's one thing. Things just become drowned in a media flood and nobody even cares, that just depresses me.

Nothin' Impossible

>>281808534
Probably not very good

>>281803502
Kite was one of the times that I stopped fapping to pay attention to the story.

>>281798738
Zeorymer moves a fair amount, they throw in some cuts that are stills and pulled cels between fully animated stuff, its just that the layouts and timing often are functional but not that interesting, and the choreography is a lot of blasting beams back and forth. 45 booruable cuts for a 4 episode OVA isn't slideshow tier.

I've loved that intro Adesso e Fortuna, and the ED Kaze no fantasia for so long. Those songs, but especially the OP hit me in a way I just can't describe. I just feel an inexplainable longing.

Okay guys help me ID two OVA:
1. About a guy who grows two mantis-like scythes from his arms.
2. Cartoonish mecha show with furry protagonists vs human characters who are racist against the furries, with one of the humans’ core character concept is "beauty".

>>281814838

>>281810538
Because it's fantasy in the purest most sincere form. Genuine love of magic, elves and dragons with no irony at all.

You're both idiots.

>>281783389
>>281804148
Yeah, I didn’t even bother with the second part, largely because it’s clear it falls apart due to the fact that they used up the zoanoid five too early and were highly important to the story up to that point
>>281788075
It’s even funnier with that mindset she’s maetal’s sister

>>281775569
For me it's Ihrie
I would marry this woman in a heartbeat

>>281815879
OMG that’s it I can’t believe I forgot the name. Had in VHS back in the day.

>>281775569
I just finished watching this, I love it so much. I am reading the manga, its kinda different but I love it too. I even drew Ihrie along with some other studies but I plan on drawing more of this style. Is there anything more like this? I need to watch Record of Lodoss Wars. Something about characters, and their "gritty" looks and that magic system where its a full world but magic isnt OP, and their heavy chest plate armors is just gets all the right itches for me. It makes me wanna do my own Ruin Explorer manga.

>>281808813
I thought it was a solid three-parter. It made the Lejiverse feel interconnected, provided some cool background information about the Cosmo Dragoon, and I liked the way it utilized the whole time-machine gimmick to show us the events of the first episodes from a different perspective (which truly makes you feel for Tetsuro), which also served to reinforced the theme that the choices we make are what define us as individuals.

>>281816931
Slayers will keep you occupied for a good while

>>281816931
Cute Ihrie

Pauldrons are the key to all of this

Why is this board so obsessed with Ruin Explorers? It was a good OVA but nowhere near its near-ubiquitous smothering of retro threads suggests it is.
I know it's just one or two really fervorous anons I just wish they posted it a little less

>>281798738
The animation is good. It's just that most of the robots are slow and bulky.

>>281817452
Because it was a good OVA. That's enough. This isn't something difficult to process.

>>281817523
>It's just that most of the robots are slow and bulky.

that's the best part. The robots feel BIG and not just from scale. I like a lot of mecha shows but you'd be shocked how often they don't really carry a sense of weight.

>>281817452
after watching it last night i can confidently say that it's head and shoulders better than dozens of other sword n sorcery OVA's of the same period. every OVA is a gamble on if you'll just walk away feeling like you wasted your time or not, and the more duds you see the more you appreciate everything else

>>281816931
Looks like Ruin manga guy just did one manga in 1992 and that's it. The rest are just oneshots practically. Weird.

It tells a simple story but honestly it's practically a master class in economic story telling and pacing. In just four episodes it manages to introduce all of it's characters, give them stand out personalities, manages to bring them all together, turning rivals into genuine friends in a way that feels organic and subtle and have a satisfying pay off. Even the villain gets a moment where his fall to the dark side feels sympathetic without trying to justify it. It's just good. You could probably edit together into a single movie it feels that tight.

I am once again shilling Photon.

I want to fuck that cat/monkey girl so I'll watch it next

Another ID request. OVA shounen based on the concept of slave-like (not literal slaves iirc) combat. They fight in this ancient crubled arena.

Shadow Skill?

This reminds me I need to watch Yohko tv series.

>>281818010
Be sure to watch Yamamoto Yohko afterwards
The OVA, the TV series is dogshit

So animes like these (and langrisser) are the source of pauldroncore, like in 40k/wow?

I have been watching the original Urusei Yatsura series, one episode a day, for the last few months, and I have finally reached the point where they changed studios. I wasn't expecting them to reanimate the scene from Episode 1 where Ataru steals Lum's bra. It's amazing how much the art style improved over the course of the show. It looked so rough at the start.

Hold on... mezzo?

I remember jerking off to this picture when I was a teenager

Same character designer, Yasuomi Umetsu.

>>281819528
>Yasuomi Umetsu.
God.

I'm not really sure what the real progenitor is. it goes back a good ways. I think it might have been from video games like sorcerian needing to exaggerate things from a limited sprite.

>>281775569
I rewatched your waifu's show last week.

>>281774587 (OP)
Watch "Relic Armor Legaciam".

No Golden Boy love?

>>281821850
OH YES!! Certainly a good deal. Though in general it seems like a lot of these kinds of threads largely attract genre fags.

>>281816054
I wonder how influential this show is on later Japanese video games, anime, and manga, especially isekai.

It would be crazy to think about, but what if Deedlit is the reason we have Kuroinu?

>I wonder how influential this show is on later Japanese video games, anime, and manga, especially isekai.

Quite literally every elf in every bit of Japanese fantasy media was in some way shape or form trying to rip off deedlit.

Second part?
All i can say is after guyver 1 and 2 destroy cronos building the animation quality takes a riki-oh second ova tier nosedive, the fight with enzyme 2 and the lost guys looks bad, real bad like the 2005 series bad.

I’m watching Gundam Zeta now so I think I’m going to watch Gundam OVAs soon.

>>281821850
Big fan. I was happy when they announced the BD release recently, but then they showed how it looks, and it completely turned me off from buying it. It sucks that so many OVAs from that era get the same AI upscale treatment for a number of different reasons.

>>281819572
This mf will never make a "hentai with plot" again

>>281779377
P-Polnareff!?

>>281779377
well if that doesn't we can watch hellraiser instead

>>281823220
that's not how breast tissue connects to the torso

>>281795507

I didnt know the uk got its own dub for this complete with british accent.

:there are actual hentai scenes in Violence Jack
The fuck? More OVAs like that?

>>281823307
what are you, stupid?

>>281800161

What would you do with your life if you could live forever?

>>281823340
?
They literally showed blowjob and penetration.

>>281817452
Its that fucking good. I've watched it back in the 90s, and can still watch it today with the same kind of awe inspiring joy what it felt like to get into anime for the first time.

>>281823284
For u

>>281822172
It's not the show, it's a novel series based on an RPG campaign.
I wonder what happened to Japanese writers, since I haven't heard of any successful novel in the past 15 years.

I liked Ranma's OVA's design the best
