1980s anime aesthetic - I remember when they used to animate on ones

[HullDown]

Did that even get a decent release or are the blu-rays still screwed up in some way?

[hchcsen] has a BD rip torrent on nyaa. It looks fine to me, but I haven't gone through all episodes again.

 

[Happy Fish]

Lot of my favorites have been mentioned already, but gotta throw out Gundam with a dash of character design that reminds me of Top Gun.

 

[Fougaro]

Remember what they took from you!

Reminder that almost every modern anime protagonist is an absolute joke compared to the unironic Gigachad that is Ryo Saeba.

I've seen some interesting anime in this thread that I'll check out...after I finishing binge watching Saint Seiya. This anime didn't do too well in the Anglosphere but was a hit in Latin America and Europe. Don't skip out on it!

 

[Nut-Roaster the 2nd]

I got a recommendation. Not terribly long, but the art is pretty good.

I watched it years ago, forgot the title, and rediscovered it after Kenny Lauderdale reviewed it.

Gall Force: Eternal Story

This was regularly aired on the Scifi Channel back in the mid-90s, so it was probably the first anime for a lot of people.

I cried a little at the ending the first time I saw it.

Doesn’t get more 80s aesthetic than Macross ‘Do you remember love? What a song

 

[TurdFondler]

SDF Macross is a must watch for anyone into retro scifi. It's dated, but the art is charming, and it focuses a lot on interpersonal relationships in a way sci fi mostly doesn't. It's not a masterpiece but it's unique.

The credits are shot on a shoulder cam with a guy literally flipping through an album of collages. 10/10

 

[Jimjamflimflam]

so it was probably the first anime for a lot of people.

Checking in. This and tank police at my friends place not really sure what this "anime" thing was but really dogging what I was seeing.

You know what's always a cool trope, I always enjoyed. Computer/HUDs displays flashing computational numbers and lines.

It's a minor detail but it always adds to a frantic battle scene.

 

[🔪Cold Steel Brand Rep🔪]

Going back through the Gundam series made me feel a certain way, nothing that comes out now could ever stand up to seizure colors and robo-suit battles. It's the closest feeling I get to being that image of the kid sitting on the couch on Saturday morning with a bowl of coco puffs.

 

[Fougaro]

You can never go wrong with Patlabor and KMFDM. 80s anime aesthetics meets 90s industrial techno metal.

 

[Steven Aryan Universe]

All I can think is motherfucking GUNDAM

[Dread First]

Go Nagai is more 1970s than 1980s, but I still adore Mazinger Z and Devilman.

 

[Mysterious Girlfriend X]

Here's a good documentary on Toshihiro Hirano.

I'll put the Iczer series up on here later*, since they're definitely worth watching if you're into 80s anime.

*: Or you could go look for them yourself if you don't want to wait for me to do it, I guess.
