Finally started this. Friendship ended with EIGHTIES ANIME. Now SEVENTIES ANIME is my best friend.

    The last episode was on September 3rd 1980

    80s anime™ doesn't start until late 1983, and you know it bahaha

    It's an excellent show, and the manga was written before the author returned to being a lib.

    I read the first chapter or two a few years ago, but it was a pretty poor quality bootleg scan lol

      i would argue 80s anime starts in october 1982 with macross*. but yeah i don't think anything from 1980 counts

      *and possibly earlier but i can't think of anything rn

        That's a good pick - it's been so long since I've seen TV SDF Macross that I forgot how great it looked lol

          i had to go back and watch some chunks of it on youtube to make sure it fit my internal 80s aesthetic, the shading and reflections on the mechanical design is definitely 80s
