I grew up watching tons of anime, including some supr cool retro re-runs, so why not make a collection of them in one nostalgic stack?
Only problem is... i don't remember the names of half of them 😅
So i need a little help rebuilding my childhood anime portfolio

If you come across this stack and know of any obscure series that ran between the 1960s and early 2000s, please drop a comment in my profile or DM me
And if you discover some anime you like from this stack that'll also make me very happy :)




One particular anime i've been searching for for years, i'll attempt to describe it, it's probably a 70s or 80s anime (maybe 90s), MC fights in rollerskates, and the main 3 bad guys are these little black aliens 2 brothers and a sister
If you find this anime for me i'll be your friend forever!

^^Update: I found it 🤩 The anime is Tondemo Senshi Muteking, and there's 4 aliens

Twelve-year-old Linn Youki loyally supported his father when the world laughed at the scientist for saying that Earth was about to be invaded from outer space. But Linn did not expect to become personally involved--until he met Takoro, the strange young "deputy sheriff" from another world who was on the trail of notorious space criminals. There were only four Kurodako Brothers, but they plotted to use their alien science and natural shape-changing powers to become the secret masters of Earth. With Takoro's help, Linn became the mighty super-hero, Muteking, to foil their schemes. There is plenty of action and laughs in this light-hearted comedy-drama about a roller-skating costumed hero, his friendly but bumbling alien partner, a gang of klutzy would-be world conquerors, a beautiful police chief, an obsessed scientist, a sarcastic dog, an officious flying saucer, and others. This unusual but appealing cast of characters will charm viewers' hearts while it amuses them. (Source: Official Website)
