Welcome to the best place to discuss retro anime! Please keep your posts mainly focused around pre 2000s works - remakes are OK if they're based on an older work.



 

For me its the scopedog. I'd kiss its stupid little forehead if I could but it'd probably just explode.

Big fan of the autonomous underground killbots from SPT Layzner
ED-209 is nice too but maybe we're not counting the occidentals

 

KV-98 Pickle. Ahah, it's so cute. I wish I had one as a pet.

 

Not necessarily my favourite but gotta love the Gaplant

 

SHINNN GETTAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

 

>>4210
Gaplant is so good they kept reusing its style of shield binders.



 

Look at this fatty

 

>>4248
Hardly at all

 

That's not a fatty.
This is a fatty.

>Q: What book or film to you has the most impressive world building?

>Ted Chiang: There’s this Japanese anime film from the late ’80s called “Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise.” It’s the story sort of a space program in this country which is not Japan. It’s not in our world. But it’s a country that is at a somewhat mid-20th century level of technological development. And they are trying to get into space. And I just loved all the details of sort of the physical culture of this imagined nation. The coins are not flat metal disks, they’re metal rods. And the televisions, they’re not rectangles. Their cathode ray tubes are completely circular, so they’re watching TV on circular screens.


>All these little details, just the way their newspapers fold, I just really was impressed by the way that the animators for that film, they invented an entirely new physical culture for this movie. The movie is not about those things, but they really fleshed out this alternate world just as the backdrop for the story that they wanted to tell.



 

Share cool retro anime Webms and GIFs with your fellow anons.Any other supported format is fine as well.

Highly dubious.

 

Been watching Patlabor recently, didn't think I'd like it as much as I do.

Sir, this is the retro board



 

The film masters degraded over time changing the colors. The DVDs are based on 15 year old film reels and were not color corrected.

 

I wonder if there is any Japanese animation that was filmed with silver nitrate that exists in good quality.

 

>>4235
The pink gives it soul thouever.

 

>>4236
I doubt any animation was filmed on silver nitrate. That would have been phased out by the time animation came in.

 

>>4238
Nitrate film was used well into 1950s, so there probably was animation filmed with it. Old school Disney animated movies were captured on nitrate negatives and the earliest Japanese animated features go back to 1917 so I'm pretty sure it silver nitrate was used.



 

found this old guide on viewing japanimation, it's a pretty interesting read

No doubt about some of the earliest western anime fanart, especially dunbine

 

this is sick, thank you anon

 

Really cool stuff regarding a perspective to early anime fans



 

There's been so many. Which ones are the best?

 

>>4193
The Level Sets until they run out. Then, the Dragon Box. I think the [iKaos] release is the best off of the top of my head, but you might need a new HDD for it.

 

>>4193

Pioneer

 

>>4193
Seed Of Might’s colour corrected Dragon Box
