Did you grow up on Speed Racer, Star Blazers or Robotech?

Then this might be for you.

Rules:

1> Vintage is in the eye of the beholder but probably pre 2000s is a safe bet.

2> Discussion of new release of old shows is welcome

3> Discussion of unofficial releases should be limited to shows that are not currently available outside of Japan otherwise.

4> Have fun!

Hi there, fstateaudio on SDF and the Mastodon. I'm in the US.

The first anime I remember was Robotech (still a favorite) in my childhood, also Voltron and a couple others that made it over here back in the 80's. Later in the 90's some stuff on the SciFi channel and what I could get here & there on video. Bubblegum Crisis, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, Green Legend Ran, and Vampire Hunter D were/are some of my favorites from that time.

My favorite stuff tends to be mecha and cyberpunk. One of the most recent things I've seen and liked (which falls outside those genres) is Dororo, recommended by my stepdaughter. :)
