I just watched "Vampire Hunter D" for the first time. It rules, I can also see its influence in a lot of other anime, scifi, and other cool nerd shit. It's really a shame I have never sat down and watched it until now. It fuckin' rips!.
I need more animated films of that era that aren't made for the selling of toys. Doesn't have to be anime but really any sort of sleeper/underrated animated films from the 80s and 90s. I need more animated cinema.
California Crisis is a great 80s OVA involving aliens, the CIA, and the KGB trying to get the main characters. Fantastic pastel color pallete and it's really fun and it's in one movie.
Looks sick, very old-school. It's totally going on my watch list.
