| Feel free to post what old school Anime you are currently watching, or if you've just completed one. Also feel free to post your opinion, but please try not to leave any spoilers for people who haven't seen the Anime you're talking about. I'm not currently watching anything at the moment, but the last old school Anime I watched was "Dragon Fist." It was pretty good, but I wish it were longer. |

| Escaflowne...damn, 1996. A year out from the cutoff date. I guess then the most recent then is Uchuusen Sagittarius, which was a surprising watch. Pity not many people know about it. |
 |
| I just finished Mad Bull 34 last night and I'm going to start watching Bubblegum Crisis tonight. |

| Black Jack OVA Great stories, and the art is amazing.   |
| I found a website that has Saint Seiya in 1080p quality (German subtitles) so that's what I'm going to watch once it's downloaded :D |

Very impressive, lucky you. Now that I've downloaded it, I noticed it was "only" 720p. Still way better than the crappy Saint Seiya subs on Kissanime :D |
| I'm currently re-watching the Record of Lodoss War OVA and Utena with some folks that have never seen them before. Ofc, I haven't seen Lodoss since the 90's so it's kind of like watching for the first time. Both are a treat for entirely different reasons. (I know Utena falls outside what you define as "Old School", but I consider anything from before the shift to digital animation, roughly pre-2000 as "Old School", so apologies) I'm thinking of starting Kimagure Orange Road, but I've heard mixed reviews... If anyone could illuminate me on how it compares to say, Touch or Ikkoku, I'd love you forever. |

| Kimagure Orange Road is a great anime, my only grievance is the rushed ending, but thankfully there were the ovas and movies to bring closure to the series. Similar to Touch and Maison Ikkoku, you got likeable characters who get development, a love triangle, a good story, memorable moments, good comedy... I could go on. Go watch this anime and judge for yourself if its good or bad. |

Touch was great once it got the ball rolling, but Ikkoku seemed to bog down pretty bad in the middle, but I'm sure I was just burnt on the endless misunderstandings. I truly appreciate the reply. |

Oh damn, Maison Ikkoku had a lot of those. Don't worry friend, you weren't alone feeling burnt. |

| Seikai no Monshou |
Currently watching Ashita no Joe |
|
| Kindaichi |
 |
| I'm watching Future Boy Conan from 1979 now. Very visually impressive show. Looks almsot like something from the 90s...! |
After watching so much bad new anime, I'm giving old anime another shot. This time I'll likely try watching more of Wolf's Rain. It's not OLD school (made only 14 years ago), but it's older than what most millennials are willing to watch. |
| I'm actually watching a fair number of them now: Science Ninja Team Gatchaman City Hunter 2 Galaxy Express 999 TV Miss Machiko Space Pirate Captain Harlock Gunbuster Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Lupin the Third Part II Devilman TV I'll also be doing rewatches of Dominion Tank Police & Mobile Police Patlabor before too long as well. |

| Rurouni Kenshin,i just discovered this old school anime thing,and i love it! |
I'm watching some good ol' Harlock. |
|
| I guess city hunter a tiny bit, a bit pervy for my tastes but its alright. |
 |

|
| Ghost Sweeper Mikami. I also started Neon Jelly-ness Evangellion, if only to see what the deal with it was. |
| Haikara-San ga Tooru - has been on my list for way too long and since I finally finished the manga I decided to start the anime. |
 |
same here I've also been watching the original dragon ball, and I'm planning for dominion to be the next show I start watching. I'm also in a constant state of rewatching cipher the animation. It'll never not be the best. |
Mundt73 said: Currently watching Maison Ikkoku, and I'm on episode 58. Definitely feeling burned out, but I'm persevering. I was originally thinking this would be a 10/10 anime in the first 30 or so episodes, so it's pretty disappointing. I'm just taking it slow now, two or three episodes a week.

| I'm currently watching Galaxy Express 999, the original 1978 TV series, on Crunchyroll. Lev2001 said: Recently started Mobile Police Patlabor(OVA), nothing impressive but im interested in the movies so im watching this beforehand. A Japanese friend recommended it to me a couple of years ago and I enjoyed it. The OVAs are pretty good for the time period. The first two movies (directed by Mamoru Oshii) were really good. Oshii is a master of composing and framing really excellent shots and these movies were no exception. |

They might still have the original Space Pirate Captain Harlock from 1978, too. I watched that last year on Crunchyroll as well. I don't think it was as good as Galaxy Express and it was a bit cheesy and melodramatic at times but despite that it was very, very sincere and earnest. I give it a thumbs-up. |
| Currently watching Slayers. I started it awhile back, but never got too far. Just got busy and all. Happy to start it again. (Especially because I bought physical box sets of each season, so if I don't watch it'll end up being a waste of money.) Gundam29 said: I just watched that for the first time a little bit ago. I really loved the beginning of it when Hilda was around, but after her death the show started to fall apart.I am rewatching Outlaw Star |
|
| Currently watching YuYu Hakusho... Read some of the manga and got to watch some of the anime in High School, but couldn’t really finish either because I was borrowing manga from the library at the time and was watching the anime on YouTube. Now I’m watching it on TubiTV, meaning I can finally watch all of the anime |
   |
| Right now Ideon its pretty good so far |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| I just started Ashita no Joe. The animation bothers me far less than I thought it would. It's... pretty good so far, but I'm not super into it (yet). Also Gundam Wing, if you consider it old-school. I'm starting to think I just really love Gundam in general. |
Gundam29 said: I didn't like this one tbhI am rewatching Outlaw Star |
| Watching Galaxy Express 999 (TV) and Urusei Yatsura. They're both long, but I'll slowly get through them. I'll probably be watching some random OVAs and movies while I complete those. |
|
| None currently, but last saw the original Sailor Moon TV series (ALL OF IT) and the movies. Watched it 'till my eyes bled and loved every minute of it. It still holds it's own despite being over 20 years old. Currently reading the manga and it's also as good as you may think it is. |
 |
| Rewatching the disappointment that is Chars Counterattack. |
| Initial D and it's helluva good |
 |
| Does the original dragon ball count? In any case I'm not sure what about it made it so popular, it's pretty meh tbh. |
| I'm rewatching Gundam 08th MS Team and watching Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory. I also really enjoyed Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. |

RogertheShrubber said: Does the original dragon ball count? In any case I'm not sure what about it made it so popular, it's pretty meh tbh. It's because when it aired it was almost the only popular shounen, if you watched any shounen before it you won't find anything special. It aired in the 80's, the next gen of shounen were OP and Naruto.... almost 20 years later. The special thing about DB is that everyone got inspired by it's formula. BTW, DB is not the first shounen but it made the genre popular. |

| Been watching cardcaptor sakura since yesterday. Came for the cute 90s aesthetic but im actually enjoying it far more than I thought I would. Not usually my type of thing but it's very charming and god that art is glorious |
