Lately not many new sets have gotten my attention so i ended up looking back in time to the good old sets that i all most forgot about but now have started to watch again after buying them. Like one of the sets i found was the good old ronin warriors. So them main thing i was wondering is what great old sets have everyone else has seen or know of form the 80s or even late 70's.

Well one that I know about is Urusei Yatsura. I've only seen the first 10 episodes (out of 196), but I took from it that it was really funny but also really intimidating with it's immense size. Rightstuf has all 50 singles for $10, Box sets 1,2,3,&5 for $90 each and all six movies and OVA's.
3 more shows I hear good things about through the grapevine are Ranma 1/2, Maison Ikkoku, and Kimagure Orange Road. Rightstuf has all 7 box set seasons, the OVA box, and movie box of Ranma for $37.46. The other two, though, are out of print so good luck finding them. Rightstuf used to have all of Maison Ikkoku, but one day they just took down all of them and I don't know if they'll ever be put back up. I found the whole Kimagure set on eBay, but it was $900 and Maison Ikkoku boxes for no less than $200 each on Amazon. Hope your pockets are deep. |

Dragon Ball dates back from 1986:)
Two great series that I can recommend from 70' are Cutey Honey- people call it "magical girls" but don't expect pink swords and kawaii pokemons. In this time it could be "new and fresh" but now it seems like great parody with good music and funny fanservice Rose of Versailles -don't read about it, just watch and see how great and non stereotypical shoujo can be. Both of them I've seen in German- first in german TV, second on DVD And maybe one more, unfortunately available only on French bootlegs. Oniisama E-from 1991 but animation seems to be much older and simply different from all new series. This series probably has the best plot and character development of all animes I've see. |

For those who want to dig into the original uncut Japanese versions of the "Robotech Masters" and "Invid" storylines from Carl Macek's Robotech, ADV's mega-box set that bundles both Southern Cross and Mospeada can be had for just a little over $40 at Best Buy. That's like a double-dose of old-school for the price of one. I've still been on the fence about actually getting this, but still considering.

Well, I know some good late 80s OAVs: Vampire Princess Miyu was good, Cyber City Oedo and Record of Lodoss War are from 1990ish, but that's close enough. Bubblegum Crisis was awesome.

More sets: City Hunter and Patlabor! Both are classics. I haven't seen Votoms, but I heard that's good stuff too.

Well, these certainly aren't available as box sets, but here are a number of good 80s stuff I've watched/been watching so far:
L-Gaim: Yoshiyuki Tomino at it with another mech work, only this time, it's a breath of fresh air from his generic kill'em all works. Shows like this only started reappearing after he made Victory Gundam. Dragonar: In somewhat the same lieu as L-Gaim. A great mech work that's worth the watch. An interesting hictorical note is that if this show had surpassed Mobile Suit Gundam ZZ's ratings, it would have replaced Gundam and the last Gundam work would have been Char's Counterattack. |
