Sumdumgai Posted July 8, 2007 Posted July 8, 2007 I never got around to watching Maps when it came out here. Never was on my priority list. Ah the 80's and some of their wacky one-shots or short series.
Noriko Takaya Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I've seen the original MAPS as shown above. I prefer the remake a lot more.
CoryHolmes Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I keep looking for the original AD Police OVA series. Great flicks, them.
Effect Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Maybe it's just me but I really prefer the character designs of the 80s as shown in those images then anything being done today or in the last few years.
Keith Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I keep looking for the original AD Police OVA series. Great flicks, them. Pretty sure it's still available form AnimEigo.
danth Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 (edited) I agree with Effect. I only care for eighties and early nineties anime, mainly because I like the designs a whole lot. Dude, I never knew there was an 80's maps. Thanks for the great cover art, Area88! You got any translations of the titles? Edited July 9, 2007 by danth
yellowlightman Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Cool scans, I've never heard of most of these. Any chance we could get the covers in a higher resolution?

Mowe Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Does anyone remember Plawre Sanshiro? I remember seeing it as a 10 yrs kid but I don't see any sub DVD at all (even bootleg).

Star Dragon Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 I found the AD police DVD once in a second hand store so I bought it. I got through like 10 episodes and then the last two were glitched and would not play I was PISSED!!!
Area88 Posted July 9, 2007 Author Posted July 9, 2007 Does anyone remember Plawre Sanshiro? I remember seeing it as a 10 yrs kid but I don't see any sub DVD at all (even bootleg).

I have the first 10 episodes of Shurato, maybe i should upload a few since all the torrents for it are long dead.
ly000001 Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Could this be the OAV pictured before maps? That seems to be right. This is the one between "High School Agent" and "Greed".
Keith Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 I found the AD police DVD once in a second hand store so I bought it. I got through like 10 episodes and then the last two were glitched and would not play I was PISSED!!! That's the newer AD Police, the original was about 3 episodes, and tied in with the original BGC.
Mowe Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Thanks Area88, it is going to make me feel like a kid again this week end!!!! Here is a torrent for all 37 episodes of the tv series - Click Here

Fortress_Maximus Posted July 29, 2015 Posted July 29, 2015 Great 80s OVA covers! Thanks for sharing. Does anyone have the OVA covers for:Ultimate Teacher, Natsuki Crisis, Baoh, Dangaioh, Iczer-1, Call Me Tonight, Orchid Emblem, Guyver?Thanks.
Sandman Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 I didn't know there was an 80s MAPS either. I'd be curious to see it.
Chas Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Has anyone actually watched Fight! Iczer One? I bought this art book back around 86/87 http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFg4MTA=/z/YVYAAOxyOMdS8KSw/$_57.JPG but never actually saw the OVA. Always wanted to. and still do.. . .
Valkyrie Hunter D Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Is Area88 still around? I loved his work.
JB0 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Has anyone actually watched Fight! Iczer One? I bought this art book back around 86/87 http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTAyNFg4MTA=/z/YVYAAOxyOMdS8KSw/$_57.JPG but never actually saw the OVA. Always wanted to. and still do.. . . I throw it in every now and then. It's a sort of pretty-but-dumb that I find very enjoyable.
Old_Nash Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Nice memories here^^ I watches much os this lists, and I really missed this time... When the stories was better and no much fan-service and moe...

Still enjoy the original FIght! Iczer-1 OVAs! Those are classic created by Toshihiro Hirano and use his incredible character designs too! The music is dated but the OVAs successfully weave elements of horror, sci-fi, and mecha too. There's a great interview with him and he states he achieved everything he set out to do with this series. There is a strong emphasis on style, character designs, mecha, explosions, horror, and fighting. These were some of the popular quallities that were popular in 80s and 90s OVAs. If you like Hirano's character designs check out the Dangaioh OVAs! Oh and the Iczer-1 translated artbook published by NipponPress(?) is awesome too. Definitely one of my favorites considering the considerable detailed cel images and close ups.
Vifam7 Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Nice memories here^^ I watches much os this lists, and I really missed this time... When the stories was better and no much fan-service and moe... I think you need to re-watch those 80's OAVs. Many of them had plenty of fanservice.

Sandman Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Yeah i agree. I love Iczer-1 music, Dangioh too. IMO modern anime doesn't have as great music tracks barring a few exceptions.
DarrinG Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 If you like those, Area 88 part III has some killer tracks. When they fly through the canyon, and when the Harriers make their surprise attack . . .
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Iczer-1 music DATED?? ARG--- More like TIMELESS! Dangaioh and Iczer-1 music is still my favorite . . . Right you are DarrinG! To us the music is timeless but, I was referring to newer viewers might consider Iczer-1 dated. Personally love Iczer-1, Iczer3 and Dangaioh! @ Chas: Consider picking up this Iczer-1 artbook. It is in lush full color and also has gorgeous close ups of the high detailed cels showcasing Toshihiro Hirano badass character designs and Masami Obari mecha designs too!!
Fortress_Maximus Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 Do you remember... RIKI-OH! There were two OVAs. The first was RIKI-OH: The Wall of Hell (1989). The second one was titled RIKI-OH: Child of Destruction (1990). Both were based on the great manga by Masahiko Takajo and Tetsuya Saruwatari serialized in 1988 to 1990.Anyone else watch these OVAs and manga series?
Noyhauser Posted July 30, 2015 Posted July 30, 2015 So I think one of the cool things that has changed in the eight years since Area 88 created this thread is that many, if not most of these videos are now available on youtube. Last night I watched and really enjoyed Urban Square... which was awesome. It had the classic hard boiled detective.... AWESOME. I see its like 50/50 on which OAVs are on the tube, but its still far more than before. Maybe we should post them here?
