On Patlabor my heart stopped. Then suddenly started rushing. So many memories.

These old animes are pure gold

I remember the time when Dragonar followed ZZ Gundam. Gundam had left such a big impression and was ending (for the moment) with ZZ finishing up. The soldier armors for the Southern Cross were very nice.

Southern Cross just gets done dirty by everyone always.

What's most striking to me is how much they _tried_ to create a 3D look, even when none of it was actual 3D. I wouldn't be surprised if 3D letterings and some other easy 3D effects were projected by hand, which would explain the imperfections. Now, we have real 3D, but a lot of the magic was lost.

After all these years, I still remember the lyrics to Dangaioh. brings me back to the good super robot hero I wanted to be in my youth. XD Too bad mecha anime nowadays can't spark that feeling again as it did back then.

Watching 100% hand made stuff made me realize how much of a loss is the predominence of CGI. What makes the force and beauty of hand made, is that every frame, every second, someone put his true spirit into his work. It's a heart to heart process, one you can't find or feel with something calculated by a machine.

I think you are mixing up with 3D animation : You should know that it is still the same in TODAY 2D animation. Animators still have to draw carefully EVERY FRAME BY HAND, the difference is they are doing it on a drawing tablet instead of celluloid. So yes they are still putting their heart and spirit into their work. They deserve all our respect.

You wouldnt trash a Rembrandt would you?

Thats why we were quite Flamished when we understood they tried and did create Sotocrushretro stream. When the Whole Archive was there, But we will never yield to mankinds deniers of belief and higher ideals: Never! May death take us before we yield to the tyranny of massdestruction by the commonlot of Legislators: The Crown has the power and will to act over the tribunals that sought to use our birthrigth and divine authority for their crimes and theft against man.

You definitely should check it out, it's one of my all time favorites from the '90s when we were getting a flood of anime coming from several different distributors. It's a great story, great animation with character designs by Haruhiko Mikimoto of Macross fame. Just so you're aware, there is a bit of fan service in the first couple of episodes, a bit of boob jiggle and bare breasts but that's only in the first couple of episodes or so and there's no more afterwards or if there is it's tone down greatly. Another thing about Gunbuster to be aware of is that it's not an entirely serious anime, it gets a bit over the top at times with old anime tropes but that's because its, in a way, a tribute show where they pay homage to old animes of the past. The main character, Noriko, is shown to be something of an otaku although it doesn't play a rolei n the show
