| So recently i have been getting into a bunch of older anime and classic series, specifically Gundam and Macross, i was wondering if anyone could recommend some more classics from around that period, and it doesnt have to be Mecha Thanks! |
| Try Trigun and Iria: Zeiram The Animation. |
| Space Pirate Captain Harlock Ashita no Joe Rose of Versailles Future Boy Conan |
 |
| Oniisama E Rose of Versailles (you know what, just see all of Tezuka's stuff) Mobile Police Patlabor: On Television Legend of the Galactic Heroes Irresponsible Captain Tylor Crest of the Stars |

lady_freyja said: What's the link between Rose of Versailles and Tezuka? The author of Rose of Versailles is Riyoko Ikeda, who depending who you ask is part of the Forty-Niners movement. Though Rose of Versailles was probably inspired from Ribbon no Kishi from Tezuka, but that anime isn't translated, only the manga. But I can't be certain; it's also possible that Ikeda taken her inspiration directly from the same source than Tezuka: the Takarazuka Theater. But yup, Tezuka works are obvious classics. The Forty-Niners works too: Beside Oniisama e and Rose of Versailles both from Ikeda, you also have 11-nin Iru from Moto Hagio, The Star of Cottonland from the freaking awesome Yumiko Ōshima, Terra e and Kaze to Ki no Uta from Keiko Takemiya. She also did Natsu e no Tobira but I wouldn't call it a classic and is arguably very dispensable. They're all classics of the shōjo demographic. Notably The Star of Cottonland is the manga/anime that popularized the nekomimi archetype (cat-girl), and Kaze to Ki no Uta is a monument of the yaoi genre… so I'm not sure that OP will have any interest in it. へへ’ While Moto Hagio is the "mother of the shōjo" and 11-nin Iru is her most accessible/less cryptic work. As for Ikeda works and Terra e they're just big classics, Rose of Versailles being the first shōjo best-seller. Sorry I meant to Dezaki My bad for writing at like 5am in the morning lol |

Ive seriously only heard of a couple of those, so im very interested in the ones you named! Yeah, pretty much... I love the Cross Game and H2 mangas by that author so ill definitely give that a try! Uchyy Senkan Yamato also looks very interesting, Never been really interested in Saint Seiya but i might try it after ive watched all the other ones. Thanks a lot! |
