Patlabor hav a number of incarnations, you hav the original OAV (a new one is coming soon), the TV series (by far the longest) and the 3 movies which are of the more serious tone.

hmm i have to go back to the anime store and look for it dad

I remember anime in 1980 when "Gatchaman" was known as "Battle of the Planets" and "Macross" was known as "ROBOTECH". I Love "Video Girl AI", "Patlabor", "Urusei Yatsura", "Ranma 1/2", "The Dirty Pair", "Lupin", and "Record of Lodoss War". These were the older animes I started with.

oh that's kewl dad hmm i started wathing robotech all because of lion and bug i think where there

hmmm the first Dragonball is what i started with and my favorite 'Hello Kitty' ^.^! uhh....gee its been so long, i didn't know Video Girl Ai was old skool o.o i was recently reading some of the manga the art is so rpetty ^-^! Dragon Half im sure is old school by now. Can't remember its been so long ^-^' I wonder if Card Captor Sakura ison its way to old school, the show is like 8 reas old and so is Inuyasha.....nah their to cool! well can't remember ^-^ then again i didn't grow up with much anime cause its so darn lmited here ^-^

if you think Cardcaptors is old skool then Ah! My Goddess OVA would be old skool too!
to me the ones i would call old skool would be the ones that started before the 1990's, and also i sometimes see that certain elements and style also make up the "old skool" type.

ah dad soo mani goood old anime shows soo much time to waste watching them yay!

no! watching anime is NOT A WASTE of time, i'll assume it was one of your glitches that made you say what you said Angelfeathers, so i'll ignore it this time! lol :bg:

i mean it's good to waste time watching them silli

oh, sorry, my bad! :heh:

aw tis ok dad

time is moving so fast that pretty soon the animes that were once considered new will become the old skools!
this doesnt matter to me, i dont really care what vintage an anime is, as long as the anime is good it will always be fresh new and exciting in my book! :bounce:

Beautiful anime art like in Ah my Goddess will always be considered good, kinda like how some of us still watch to Old Walt Disney movies like Peter Pan, its deffinatly old school, but its still so wonderful ^-^ not to mention woderful story plot ^-^ However has anyone noticed shows such as 'Totally Spies' and 'Martin Misteries'? *shivers* is that anime or a really bad copy of it, the arts good but the stories are *shivers* ewww.

Totally Spies and martin mysteries are just examples of how western animation is trying to copycat the success of anime and jumping on the bandwagon. they make a complete mess of things and is a downright insult to the anime world!

I stared and stared again at those two...then laughed my ass off. Really! It's so funny to watch when there's absolutely nothing else to do. I like how Martin gets pummeled though, he's a perv. Doesn't come anywhere real anime, though.
