Anime What anime did you get into by the time it was already 10+ years old?

[Rox00]

Hmm Outlaw Star seems like what I would wanna watch. I'm sucker for "space adventure" tv series like Farscape and Firefly lol.

I'd say it's a real fun watch from the era, it has a lot of goofy adventures while the occasional serious plot moments happens in-between that time. The one and only clip that I watched prior that gave me a taste of the series is the one that made me wanna watch it. Would recommend a ton if you enjoy the space adventure kind of series.

The only shame of the series is that it barely gets talked about sadly and wished it was talked about more.

Probably one of the best anime i've ever seen, but sadly never gave it a chance until 2025 of last month.
Insane that it came out in 2006.

 

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

I've seen all but those last 3.

I've seen them all.

 

[Dr.Kisaragi]

Mostly the 2010s era of animw and above because I was busy with part time jobs for my college.

Victory Gundam I heard a lot of not so good things about this series and the fact that Sunrise have to kinda reboot it with G Gundam.
During the pandemic I gave the series a try and it’s not as bad as people say it would be.

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Almost all of them, actually...

Good examples include: Cowboy Bebop, Full Metal Panic/Alchemist, and Last Exile.

It is only recently that I started watching things as they aired, most notably: Spy x Family, Major 2nd and My Hero Academia.

A lot of animes from my Teenager years that I put on a list of watch later, but never watched, Like the good old very crazy Scool Slice of Life kinda of harem were very common at the 10s, today I feel like the anime are too sober, too dramatic, too realistic to a point it seems uncomfortable to watch, like Sailor Moon, per example, besides being older than me, it fits because, it is so dumb the whole, "who is sailor moon secret identity?", besides being clearly Serena, or, "Omg, Sailot V is actually Sailor Venus", it is dumb, but also it feels good, light-hearted, it gives the impression that you can be a hero or try to change things and still have your day-to-day basis, I dunno, sorry for the dump, here is the list:

- Sailor Moon (from the classic until R)
- Mayo Chiki
- Seto no Hanayome
- koe no katachi
- D Frag
- Baka to Test (Re Watching)
- Some Dumb Crazy School enviroment setting anime

I didn't have the internet in my youth, so I've only relatively recently been able to keep up with things as they air. If I couldn't catch it on TV or rent it, I would usually have to save up for if/when the DVD release came out.
Is Spy x Family good? I really want to play the adorable looking game it has on Switch, but I'd feel a bit weird playing a game for a show I haven't seen

 

[Waffles's iconWaffles]

Is Spy x Family good?

It's a love-or-hate kind of affair.

I personally really like it.

 

[pingugaming]

Tomino's weird hatred of this series is so bizarre to me. He considers it to be the worst thing he's ever made (But has never actually clarified why he thinks that as far as I know) but honestly I think it's in the top 5 Gundam series.

 

[Cardboardtubeknight Cardboardtubeknight]

Sailor moon

 

[Jayonnaise6105 Jayonnaise6105]

Sailor moon

I found a bootleg DVD box set of Sailor Moon in a thrift store like a decade ago. Good times!

 

[KenaiPhoenix]

Jojo, I never payed too much attention back then (I stopped watching anime for reasons), and when a cousin convinced me to give it a try I loved it.

I know there are more recent Jojo seasons, but Im referring to part 1 (I like it)

 

[Sleepstate]

pretty much every anime Ive watched i don't keep up with whats in and new less it's Gundam

Neo Human Casshern (1973). I had only seen the 90s OVAs but when I saw the 2004 live action film I wanted to ser th original. It was for sure better than the OVAs, more flashed out of you will, but it wasn't Gatchaman quality which was what I was expecting.

I remember when Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom came out, that game put me on to so many classic 70's series like Gatchaman, Casshern, Tekkaman (and Tekkaman Blade) as well as semi-modern stuff like Karas.

Yup, it did. And I believe Hurricane Polymar had a surge in popularity after that. Eventually, they made Gatchaman Crowds, maybe in order to capitalize on or boost the game's popularity a little bit further, which I thought was a good/neat short little anime, and maybe a bit ahead of it's time when you look at how "The Red Ranger Aventures In Another World" is doing. Tatsunoko vs Capcom was a wasted opportunity to bring back Skullomania into the SF franchise tho.

I agree Skullomania would've been perfect for that game, but he technically isn't a Capcom character since he was made by Arika (Which also explains why all the other original characters from the Street Fighter EX games never showed up in other Street Fighter games again).

Yeah, I know. I just thought it was a wasted oportunity. It moves like a Kamen Rider or Kikaider/Hakaider should move.

Some of Gen Urobuchi's work like Psycho Pass and Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I'm a fan now and have been watching his Thunderbolt Fantasy series too.

I don't think it was quite 10 years afterwards, but I was late to watching Madoka Magica. A friend of mine showed it to me a little while back and we binged the compilation movies they put out.
