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 think anime animation quality peaked in the 1980s. There have been great ones before and after, but I've watched a lot from this period and I think the most impressive series (as far as animation quality goes) might be Zeta Gundam. The visual quality in a TV series is just unreal!

I think I would have to agree that overall the best anime comes from the 1980s. I also think there was some great stuff in the 90s and very early 2000s as well before anime started becoming a seasonal thing to watch online.
