Vintage fans of Anime

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!

I (38) was having a conversation with a younger coworker (28) about vintage anime that I would recommend for him to watch. I brought up Bio Booster Armor Guyver because it was the first anime that I really got into. Even had the translated and mirrored manga that you could only get a comic book shops.

Might be a bit difficult to find if you're talking about the 1990s Guyver OAVs with the campy dub (I just sold off a partial set of VHS tapes of that, so I had to check up on it). There was a DVD set, but it's out of print. The TV series from 15-20 years ago is more readily available, I think, but the dub is less fun . ๐Ÿ˜‰
