cyberpunk anime with guts and griffith

See you space cowboy...

And religious imagery.

TEEEEEEEEEEEEEETSSSUUUUUUUUUUOOOOOOOOOOOOO

CANNNNNNNAAAAAAAAADAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It was a nice time, a simpler time

Also androids, Androids everywhere.

"VHS"

I still got some on LaserDisk.

And right at the end of this era and somehow hitting the bullseye of all the tropes while also being a meta commentary on them:
The Big O

Just re watched ghost in the shell the other day Hell yeah.

Harems. Same as it ever was. (Same as it ever was.)

I want to go back and watch Tank Police

Perfection

I'm right in the middle of watching Neon Genesis Evangelion...

Yeah.

Anyone else remember trying to catch anime on the sci-fi network on Saturday mornings? It never seemed to start at a consistent time and it was usually Vampire Hunter D.

Back before anime was even close to mainstream and hardly anything was translated.

But DBZ was the biggest of the 90's.

A new Patlabor anime can't come soon enough.

Urotsukidōji enters the chat to comment on nudity ...

What's the nudity one from? When I was very young, I caught about two minutes of an anime on public television in a different language.
Did a dude knight climb up the tower wall, see her, and almost fall off? Is she changing the dressing on an arrow wound?
I didn't really discover anime for over a decade after that so I might be misremembering the art style altogether.
But I sure filed it away as "Something Interesting".

Is Tekkaman technically mecha? It's armor, not a big robot like Gundam/Macross/Patlabor/Zeorymer/Escaflone

that's the good shit right there

freaking sick brah

what's the blue spider as the bottom left? I swear my parents watched this when I was like 8 and definitely not ready for it

AND?! what's wrong with starting out with these perfectly viable/plausible plot and visual design concepts? If anything that medium was prescient. People be asploding Neo Tokyo on the regular now in their tiktoks for the memeslingery.
