I think you have good taste.
Friends?

I hope you enjoy it, man. Gl on the writeup.

Does your great OVA watch have to be only OVAs?

Cus do yourself a favour, and slip the 50 minute movie Brothers Grimm. The Golden Bird in there.

Best animation and backgrounds I've seen in 80's anime, and no one knows about it!
I only came across it by chance last night.

If you remember, I disliked Bubblegum Crisis.

I highly recommend the recap music videos.
Hurricane Live! 2032 https://myanimelist.net/anime/5043

they're MTV-style sakuga mads set to the soundtrack. the two best parts of the show.
what better way to fix the pacing, then cut out 30 minutes of dialogue and story!?

I had to double check,

I downloaded episode 25 of horrible's release. I can confirm that it is Venice of the Dead, i.e. special episode 1 or the true episode 6.

I'm watching the BD releases from commie.

Unfortunately, there are only 2 of them [6 eps]
I don't know why though

Hey I just started Lupin III (2015) [thought ep 1 was amazing, reminds me of Space Dandy],

I noticed here the dub and sub ep no.s are 2 off

Because of 2 OVAs - Venice of the Dead and Nonstop Rendezvous.

Is that these specials?

Oh btw, as you once suggested I tried out Flag and Bubblegum Crisis.

Flag not only is my favourite mecha, but is also one of my favourite shows ever. I watched that a month of so ago.
However Bubblegum was not for me, far 2 80's 4 me.

cheers

I noticed you rated Devilman: Yochou Sirene-hen quite well.

Can any of the many Devilman singletons be watched standalone?

Hello, I saw your reddit post about Getter Robo and I just gotta let you know that the series' main creator is not Nagai but Ken Ishikawa. For example, Shin Getter Robo features a lot of stuff that wasn't actually part of the Getter Robo manga, but part of other Ken Ishikawa manga like Makku Hakkenden etc. Nagai had some minimal involvement in the initial concept of course, but everything in the manga was done by Ishikawa.

The ova was also emulating Ken Ishikawa's later style, not Nagai's. Ishikawa originally had an artstyle closer to Nagai but it changed after the years. And yes, Getter Robo was a huge influence on TTGL. TTGL's script writer Kazuki Nakashima actually edited the Getter Robo Saga manga compilation, calls himself Ishikawa's number one fan and said in an interview, did a memorial address at Ishikawa's funeral, and that there is lot of Ken Ishikawan-ism in TTGL. He's even featured in the Getter Robo bible.

These fan videos show Ken Ishikawa's style.

Other manga by Ken Ishikawa were also adapted into anime (Other than Getter Robo).
