THIS is what once anime stood for me. Dark, cold and futuristic. In western Europe it was a small subculture in the early 90s and I remember that sometimes there where late night TV specials (around 00:00) and they showed classics like MD Geist, GITS or Akira. We cried rivers back then, because it was so awesome and just the coolest thing on earth to us. I will never forget these days anime.

The level of grainy, visceral detail that went into these animes was truly extraordinary.

Como amo essas animações japonesas dos anos 80/90! É evidente que eles colocavam toda a criatividade e esforço nisso. ❤️

Why 90s anime look so much better than new ones?

[creekandseminole]

The movie was great and the series was also great

[PlatinumInkVidz]

Ah, yes...the good ol'days when anime was known as Japanamation.

[ChaosWolfNinja]

I miss this type/style of animation. It just made it so much more visceral.

Мне уже 30, а я до сегодняшних дней не перестал смотреть японское аниме 80-90 х, это шедевры, которые мы уже не увидим вновь

Okay guys look. It looks that amazing because it's a movie which obviously has a high budget and looks better than standard animation anime
