Lupin in space is a fairly solid analogy from what I've seen so far. signofzeta wrote: The animation of the TV series is very good and I do like Cobra but it’s rather thin. Comparing it to Macross is like...I don’t know. Cobra is basically Voltron with t**s. You get the same thing you want over and over and over again. You simply cannot tell the female sidekicks apart, they always die, everyone does, Cobra always lives. It’s very style over substance.
Yeah it's fun but Cobra is like a Seijun Suzuki movie whereas Macross is closer to Kurosawa.

I had the Japanese LD years ago and sold it, don't remember caring too much about it then, but I took the risk to try it again GTO is funny, I got to the 14th epi on streaming but found a cheap bootleg DVD on the bay, so I decided for 11 bucks with free shipping I can watch and enjoy, just let it run on the player LOL. It does seem to be a rip off what is online with better PQ, same English dub and subs so I'm happy. For some reason I have a discotek boycot in my mind so I picked up the early DVD with both OVAs. But I do own some Discos and will buy again in the future but if I can I will skip.

Oh boy, the tv series seems very obscure. Maybe a Japanese DVD release? Zero US releases that I can see. Might be hard to even find subs for it. rein-o wrote: Angel's Egg, wow took a long time to get this one but its pretty amazing, need to watch it again. Telling my wife how we will never have conceptual stuff like this in anime or general film for people to just watch and enjoy something with an odd story or no story. Yeah, it's one of the best honestly. A US BD would be nice, obviously I can just import from Japan, but a US release would be so much cheaper. Until then, the LD is really nice. I need to get back to watching some anime, been playing games more lately.

Yeah, I watched it on my older free 26" TV, I can totally imagine the lost details on Angel's Egg. Saw some bootleg DVDs and BRs on ebay but couldn't justify it so opted for the LD and will enjoy. There is a 2 part box of Patalliro on DVD from Japan but I don't know if the Stardust Project is in the box and the only one I could find on ebay was from Japan and asking over 200 per part, so thats out of my range. I took the risk as I saw the LD on ebay pre pandemic that sold for 50 or more and was curious about it, don't know if I would have bought it knowing there was a DVD as they can port easily for the US market but then again it may never happen as it may not be something we can watch like the one series I saw Hyper Power Robot Galatt: Memorial Box [BELL-1075]from what I've read they may not release this in the US due to some of the characters behavior, and wonder if that may be a case for Patalliro??

I imported the japanese Blu of Angel's Egg when it came out a couple years ago, really good release but bare-bone, the only extra is a trailer. There are subtitles for the Patalliro movie and the "new" series, the old series has been in the process of getting fansubbed since 10 years or so, currently at episode 44. And yes, this is really weird stuff

Last night it was Ihatob Illusion: Kenji No Haru (Kenji's Spring) [BELL-1002]. This is a good movie. However...I remember when all this digital compositing tech was new for Japan and I saw this soon after it hit LD. It seemed cheap and high end at once. Now it’s mostly just cheap. Computers suck. As I said though, this is a good movie overall. My 99 is still down so I’ve been watching things on a V2200. Now bad LDs look bad again and good ones look good. This one looks good, very good. An all digital production, you’d except it. Color is deep and noise surprisingly low.

From a distance it looks like just another 80s OVA but it’s not Dangaioh or Detonator Organ. It’s a cheesecake scifi parody of a tennis anime...but also mid century classic hard scifi to the core with amazing design work everywhere. Blink and you’ll miss: space dolphins, a black hole bomb, space ships being built in orbit...with parts on plastic runners, hella time dilation, 21st century Soviets, barely legal Vangelis paraphrasing.

I owned it years ago and just didn't think much of it so I'll have to either buy this again to see or try watching on YT to see if its worth it again.
