How many of you guys watch old anime?

[Nurranurra]

What are they and why are they any good? :)

Just watch a rather old series last weekend. Named Berserk. 25 episodes. It talks about a young warrior who wields a giant sword or rather a claymore fighting opponents much bigger his size. And one day he was defeated by a leader of a bandit group. He joined the group after that and they become famous and eventually merge in with the military.

The story somehow escalate into fighting demons on the last episode and left an incomplete ending.. but i like the main character as he was young with incredible strength and how much he improve along the way and help the group grow.

Somehow i just went ahead to watch it over again when i browse through my HDD of old anime collection

WATCHING ONEGAI SERIES...........

 

[Mahoro]

its not particularly old, but I always have a hankering to watch Honey and Clover every year somehow.
I also watch Mahoromatic, Onegai Teacher (I can't say Twins was that good), Ah My goddess (the 1990s OVAs/Movie), Kimagure Orange Road, stuff like that on a decently regular basis to remind me that there used to in fact, be good anime in the pre-Haruhi era (it would be off topic to explain why that is)

I got into anime pretty late in the game. Pre haruhi era? Care to elaborate a bit please? I've seen a few episode of haruhi but dropped it.

Great ill give that show a try.

Currently watching Irresponsible Captain Tylor.
Reason: Most of the 'old' animes not available to me, during their prime.
So now, with the help of Internet, I'm reclaiming all those unclaimed "mileage-fare" anime.

I'm still looking for an 80's anime, Dolbuk.
If anybody have any information which could lead to it "capture", I'll be pretty much appreciate it.

Chōdenji Machine Voltes V. I like story and this is where I starting to watch anime.

 

[Squiggy]

I personally get eyecancer from pre 2000 stuff, yet I somehow watched plenty of them when I was little - like Bee Maya, Alps no Shoujo Heidi (yes, Heidi), Akage no Anne, Ganbare! Kickers etcetc.
Apart from those examples being rather directed to kids until the age of maybe ten, the rather shitty animation and bad visual quality gives me the creeps nowadays.
Now people may argue like 'but today's stuff is all recurring shit and about moe and fanservice and blah'.
I totally approve of moe (>_O)b

Cool! Someone who still remember Heidi and Kickers. Oh man, those animes really bring back memories. Do you remember Jackie and the Bush Baby, or Daddy Long Legs?

 

[Animaksiat]

i often watch old anime from 70s and 80s, lately just re-watched alpen rose!

 

[Warnis]

Trigun is a must for any anime fan, great show.

Not really, no.
Germany was rather poor with anime - we still are today because only Narotu and One Piece are airing but it's been like that forever ┐(￣ー￣)┌
We had Sailor Moon~

 

[Gothicat]

I'm currently rewatching Sailormoon, Samurai X, the Saber Marionette series and Nightwalker. Man, I watched a lot of anime when I was young. I'll probably add the first fullmetal alchemist to that list when I finish Nightwalker. I don't have any interest at all in most of the new animes, so most of what I watch is old stuff.

 

[cattz]

I've been watching anime since Toonami started showing Robotech on t.v. (was in elementary school I think) Have watched so many anime that "old anime" feels more like "Oh yeah, I watched that back in xxxx" heh..

Still, I guess a lot of them are some of my favorites depending on what you want to call old. Ones like Legend of the Galactic Heroes or Super Dimension Fortress Macross are some of my favorite animes, but are we at the point where mid 90's anime are "old" lol?

I guess, but it's still kind of hard for me to be treating Great Teacher Onizuka, Slayers, etc., as "old stuff" compared to ones like Galactic Heroes, heh.

 

[Will98]

Slayers ftw!!!

The old stuff is the best stuff. Dragon ball is one example of being old and being an intense win.

For me old GUNDAM anime is good , such as 08 MS team, or Turn A Gundam.

 

[divondestiny]

I'm watching Kanon 2006 so old :D!

 

[Animaksiat]

I'm watching Kanon 2006 so old :D!

what old? it's just 5 years ago!

For me old GUNDAM anime is good , such as 08 MS team, or Turn A Gundam.

these gundam werent count to be old enough! both have already passed 1995, they're aired at 1997

 

[orisa]

^ Lol yea, I'd count "old anime" as something from the last century, not in last decade.

 

[AshleyBoo]

I like watching older anime the odd time, oldest for me was Galaxy Express 999 aired in 1978 wasn't even born then lol.
Seen some of the first Gundam & Macross, and a few more of Leiji's other stuff like Harlock & Queen Millennia.

 

[alexsdu]

I missed 'em old animes very much.

 

[tohapply]

if there is not anime i like I will watch the anime that I've watched .

 

[Noiru]

I watch old anime all the time. Can't forget the classics after all, just the other day I was watching the original Gundam series.
