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.
Thanks for the recommendation. I watched Fist of the North Star as a kid, not sure how or when but I know i did. I’ll check out “Record of Lodoss War”, I have never even heard of it. that’s the exact type of recommendation I like, something dope I didn’t even know existed.
Lodoss War was inspired by a DnD campaign the writer played I believe, there’s an OVA and then television series that progresses the story to the next generation, but the general consensus is the OVA is better.
