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!

For my watch history, I think https://kitsu.io/users/DiscoShrew is mostly up to date.

Though not being too old myself, I do gravitate towards older shows. My introduction to anime in general was through the Toonami programming block. Specifically Rurouni Kenshin and Yu Yu Hakusho. Naturally, my introduction to manga was Shounen Jump and Shojo Beat. (I'm still waiting for Nana to be finished! More than ten years later...)

I have a love for the earlier Gundam shows though holding that 08th MS Team may be my favorite. I love the beauty found in hand drawn anime, and much prefer it to the CGI stuff of today in most cases, though I'm not totally a luddite.
