Last update - episode 3 is uploaded as well. Will be uploading New Dream Hunter Rem next.

Anyone want to share their views? Emotional ending right?

Episode 2 is up now - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yv-D5mvV1dM

Thanks a lot Renato, I always feel welcome here. This was one of my favourite places to hang out.

Heavy looks interesting, I've never heard of it up to now. The only information I can find of it is it came out in 1990 and is actually classified as a movie. I found a movie poster for it here - http://movie.douban.com/photos/photo/1431358382/

Where did you come across it last time?

There's some stuff I uploaded on my old channel here if anyone is interested - http://www.youtube.com/user/OldAnimeDubs/videos

Dream Hunter Rem - Part 2 - Click Here to watch

Welcome! I've not posted for years probably but I started an 80's anime youtube channel few months ago. Now I have some extra special to share with my old friends at Macross World. It only took 9 years for second part of Dream Hunter Rem OVA 1 to be subtitled but I found it's release, changed the subtitles to a more typical VHS look and uploaded it for everyone to see.

This unlicensed obscure gem is one of the best old school OVA's of all time and part 1 is also available on the channel.

This is was well worth the wait and is much more intense than the first part. You can expect it all from horror, a mystical monk, science fiction with women in frozen chambers and of course heart warming romance.

Anime Grade: A+

Don't miss the excitement anymore!

With Far Cry: Blood Dragon being released today, it reminded me of how great it is to throw old shows and concepts together and make something competely new and exciting. I've always loved old anime and video games, so I combined the two.

Using my creativite brain inside me, this is what to me, a nostalgic anime game would look like conceptually, hopefully one day it will happen. All of these graphics come from my most favorite shows. I will happily name all of the pics if someone needs help identifying them.

Episodes 2-4 added. Can anyone confirm on episode 4, if it, is indeed Chirico from Votoms? I need to know so I can add the camero reference to my site. Thanks to all those that know more than I do

The 80's was when the Japanese economy was on fire, and people were more willing to throw money at anime projects that weren't based on existing IPs or were being done simply for art's sake. Here's a few I can think of, off the top of my head:

• Robot Carnival
  
• Bobby's Girl
  
• Angel's Egg
  

You're obviously a man of impeccable taste. All 3 of these I have to add to the site. No Questions about it!

I'd add Dagger of Kumui but I think Animeigo still have the license for it. I try to avoid puting licensed stuff up.

Anyone heard of Galvion? Probaly not, it's one of the rarest anime shows ever.

I found Episode 1 and encoded it myself to make the quality marginally better. It's still grainy but no audio sync issues.

Hey there Keith, I've already sold off what I didn't want through Amazon. I came here to catch up since I've not watched any anime for a year.

I agree that there are great shows from every decade, especially the 70's with Roses of Versaille and 90's Neon Genesis Evangelion. The reason I like 80's so much is I love the character designs, music and cel animation from this era. There's just an amazing feeling that comes over me when I watch something like the Appleseed OVA from 1988. I actually think Appleseed will be my next entry on to the site. I love that show so much.

I'm glad a lot of the MW members are still here. You'd be suprised how many forums get shut down. Look at Anime Jump, it's completly gone now!

There's a good chance that they're all gone since there's only 2 people left on MW...

Why have so many people left? What caused this big exodus?

Big thanks to Vifam 7 for suggesting Megazone 23 and Iczer 1. Those 2 are definte classics. So is the original Appleseed. Wow the shows are all flooding back now. Keep the suggestions up guys.

Also with all these classic anime going OOP, anyone sold off their collections yet? I sold my Macross boxset for $200 last year and other stuff like Arcadia of My Youth went for $100. Absolutly crazy money! I sold off half my collection because of all the cash involved. The demand for OOP dvd's have never been higher.

Thanks Renato! Thats what I was looking for.

I used to PM Danth all the time about my latest anime findings. Good to hear you and Danth are still going. I've not watched any anime at all in a year.

However I dug out my old laserdisc rip of MD Geist from 2009 and I realised I needed to carry on writing about anime. Half the problem though is I can't remember the stuff I wanted to write about anymore.

I used to be a long time poster on the Macross World forums. Do we still have any 80's anime fans here?

There used to be such a big community here, I see the forums have changed quite a lot since I've been gone.

I've updated my 80's anime website for the first time in a year but I need suggestions for new entries because I've not watched any anime for a year and I forgot what I had originally planned to put up.

So guys, hit me up with my suggestions, especially new obscure stuff?

The remaining two episodes won't be released by us but someone else is planning to take over now after seeing our episode.

Ah and the blog, I really should take more care over it, it's also suffered from a lack of time

Got other possible fansub projects in the mix though.

Not at all, the more links the better! Torrent link still pending...

I've missed you too danth, I gotta start posting over here again, I loved this community.

Hey danth, long time, no see. I will have a super fast torrent link to post in a couple of hours.

NP Ginrai, thanks for showing your appreciation. As you can see I have a tendancy to work on violent or sexy ova's from the 80's, not like there's a shortage either.

I'm back again guys with another fansub I have completed.

This is the last of the Pink Noise OVA's. This contains graphic violence and some nudity so viewer discretion advised.

Enjoy! And post comments/feedback below

Link fixed! Version 2 created to fix minor spelling mistake, enjoy!

Ah the link got removed.

It will be back up shortly, we are doing a quick QC check and creating a version 2 before releasing it via torrent. The lucky guys in this thread saw the preview version.

I will post the megaupload link right away when it's up. Should be in a couple of days.

Wow 20 years, thats a hell of a long time. I might have to create another thread soon and see what other obscurities people are desperate to see but have waited an infinite amount of time to see.

You're all welcome, I hope it meets your expectations. This was a favorite of mine which I really pushed hard to get fansubbed in our group. Infact I love it so much I'm going to go watch the finished version now.

Year: 1986

Episodes: 1 of 1

Description: Noera and his new-found girlfriend Marsha become mixed up in a secret U.S.-Soviet space mission project. On the run from rival gangs in California, they gain possession of a round object that directs them to Death Valley, where an alien contact is being covered by the government's men in black.

Torrent link coming soon.

This is Box Sub's other release, which hasn't officially been released yet. However because I love and trust you guys, I thought I'd release it to this community first. Just finished encoding it tonight. Enjoy! Oh and please let me know what you think.

Thanks F-ZeroOne, I appreciate your support and your honesty.

Love Position is decent but not a classic by any means. Our next title California Crisis, coming out in the next couple of weeks is a favorite of mine and will hopefully garner alot of attention by the old school community.

Good to hear Acroray, i particularly recommend Body Jack if you havn't checked that out already.

Our newsest release and our first of 2010 for Box Subs.

It's been long overdue but we finally got this out. It was completed months ago but some of our key members have been on vacation so we have had to reorganise the group to get this out.

We'd love to hear what you think of the show and the quality of this release. All discussion is welcome, the good and the bad.

I'm contacting Google directly to find out the exact links that have penalised my website in the last week.

I'll post here when I get a responce.
