Did you grow up on Speed Racer, Star Blazers or Robotech?

Then this might be for you.

Rules:

1> Vintage is in the eye of the beholder but probably pre 2000s is a safe bet.

2> Discussion of new release of old shows is welcome

3> Discussion of unofficial releases should be limited to shows that are not currently available outside of Japan otherwise.

4> Have fun!

Hello and welcome!

Please make yourself at home and talk about your favorite old anime and manga. If you know what rec.arts.anime was, you'll feel right at home.

If you're up for it, reply here with a brief introduction including early anime memories and where you are today.

Technically, the rec.arts.anime hierarchy still exists, although it's been severely depopulated. I occasionally see a legitimate message ghost through .misc, though. A far cry from the late 1990s, when .misc alone had hundreds of messages a day.

(Hi, I'm an aging fan whose history with anime begins with the bad dubs of Gatchaman and Nausicaa that circulated in the early 1980s. Pleased to meet everyone.)
