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.
Non-anime suggestion: The Secret of NIMH. Don Bluth’s first film after leaving Disney.
I have been meaning to watch this one. Haven’t yet but I have known about it forever, I’m throwing on the top of the watchlist cause it’s one of those I know have to watch.
