    Thanks for the input Who!

    A-ko was one a handful I was planning to watch regardless of what anyone said. I’ll definitely keep Elf 17 and Dragon Half on there as well.

    I’ll check out Ruin Explorers too. I’ve heard of that one before, but never paid it much attention.

    I haven’t heard of Wanna Be’s, but given the title and premise it basically seems like an 80’s version of the recent female-wrestling title Wanna Be the Strongest in the World. Not sure if that’s a good or bad thing, but I guess I’ll toss it on the pile and give it a fair shot.

    Coincidentally, while I haven’t seen a whole lot of 80’s anime, I actually have watched Outlanders. A few years ago I was told it was basically an Urusei Yatsura clone, so I immediately ordered the disc from Netflix ^^; It wasn’t great, but it was a fun title.

    You may not know this, but I actually backed Animeigo’s Kickstarter for the Bluray set of Bubblegum Crisis. I haven’t watched it yet, but it’s behind me on my shelf right now, lol. So while that one is on my main list of stuff to watch, I omitted it from this 80s/90s list since I already own it (All of the titles I included are ones I don’t/can’t own, because they’re either rare, VHS-only, or never licensed).

    Have you ever noticed with all the talk about Asuka’s mom that we never really learn that much about her father. I mean aside from Gendo, what kind of man allows his child to do something

    as dangerous as what the EVA pilots do?

    In fact who is Asuka’s dad? Where is he during all this time?

    In the anime, we simply don’t know. Literally the only official bit of info about her father is that he’s American.

    In the manga she doesn’t even have a real father. Her mother had her through artificial insemination.

    Nightow’s Blood Blockade Battlefront has quickly become one of my favorite anime of the season, and it’s got an insanely fun ED to boot.

    EDIT:

    Dailymotion vid got taken down. Replaced with official FUNimation YouTube vid.

    Are the Crest of the Star light novels still around?

    They’re not too hard to find. Rightstuf still has Vols. 1 and 3 in stock, and all 3 can be found from sellers on Amazon for pretty cheap.

    Rather than recommending a title, I’m asking for some recommendations on a retro anime Movie/OVA watch-a-thon I’m gonna have. I made a pretty big list of titles that caught my eye, and now I’m trying to narrow it down and prioritize them. The list runs the whole range of classics, to so-bad-its-good titles, to steaming piles of crap, to things I’d never even heard of before last week. Cheesy old dubs are a plus, if one exists, and of course suggestions for other good/cheesy/bad titles from the 80s/90s are welcome.

    Here’s my initial list:

    Crusher Joe (movie and OVAs)

    Demon City Shinjuku

    Digital Devil Story

    Dragon Half

    Elf 17

    The Heroic Legend of Arslan OVAs

    MAPS (both the 80s and 90s OVAs)

    Mask of Zeguy

    Mermaid Forest/Scar

    Please Save My Earth

    Prefectural Earth Defense Force

    Project A-ko

    Rumik World OVAs

    Salamander

    Tokyo Revelation

    Ultimate Teacher

    Wicked City

    The Magical Girl Strange Juice from Punchline, does not seem to have magical abilities. But the show does invite supernatural so she might actually get some powers, she just uses gadgets and honed reflexes and strength.

    I wonder what her battle cry is then.

    I think this is her battle cry, got it from a sub

    “Squeeze the souls of evil, the cuisine of your heart.

    The hero of justice, Strange juice is on the scene!”

    Yeah, at least so far she’s like the Batman of Magical Girls tuxedodouche

    That catchphrase though badass1

    Glad to see Punch Line get some representation here. That girl has the best magical girl/masked vigilante name ever:

    I think this doujin is a little contradictory with the -IF- ones though.

    Like how? I know he doesn’t have any sons in IF, but I always assumed this kid that hangs out with Misaki was probably one of, if not the youngest of his kids. Tenchi could have simply had him years (or decades) later.

    Do you know who they are ?

    I know it comes from Omatsuri Zenjitsu no Yoru 21 Seiki-ban 1 but …

    The girl is Misaki Jurai and the boy is Tenchi’s son, can’t find the name.

    That would be Masaki, not Misaki.

    They probably did have those when Madoka was at its peak but I can’t say for sure. It wouldn’t surprise me if there was a time those were actually being sold.

    Nah, that pic is a photoshop. It made the rounds back when Rebellion came out, and lots of people believed it, but it was eventually proven to be just a prank.
