This style of light doesn't really appear in animation anymore. You know it when you see it -- it's bright, hot and almost dangerous. Our new issue explores the tricks behind it, and how one artist has revived the look for the digital age: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/dangerous-...

We need more girls with guns in tacticool uniforms. #gallforce

The "Golgo 13" anime (from 1971) will be released on Blu-ray in Japan. This series was considered lost until the masters were found two years ago. natalie.mu/comic/news/6...

This is the cover that spurred trying this game out earlier this evening and then scrambling to playthrough and write about it. It's GLORIOUS. One of Terada Katsuya's finest.

So anyway I restored Daicon IV from scratch. This was a joint project with Chris Person (papapishu), who sourced the incredibly Rare Laserdisc release. The raw files can be found on the internet archive for those interested in processing it yourself. Enjoy! archive.org/details/DAIC...

and if you're curious about Dagger Of Kamui, you can read all about it here in this Let's Anime piece from last April: letsanime.blogspot.com/2025/04/reve...

When j-pop, anime, and western fantasy combine - Ultima III for Famicom! Richard Garriott confirmed several years back that an Exodus anime was made (though unbroadcast) and hinted that he had tapes of it. #VideoBytes

Hideo Kojima says big-budget games today are safe and tremendously boring 🎮💤 “People making military games probably don't know how to dismantle or shoot a gun… that's kind of sad” “[I do], because I've been doing this training … and I learned so many ways to kill people” He did not elaborate

There was going to be a Spice Girls anime, but they cancelled it. We were fucking ROBBED.

Still the hardest end theme I think I've ever come across.

this is what i mean by "they don't make em like they used to"

Found a weird one today. A strange Lupin style anime about Kidnapping girls to rule the world. It has this bouncy Tiny Toons look, & was never sold outside Japan. It also has a girl in a Princess Leia costume for 1/3 of it. Nothing looks like this anymore, not even cartoons.

Happy Easter #otaku #anime #bunny

Science Saru's new The Ghost in the Shell anime airing next year has revealed a new visual, video, and the show's main staff!

The death of Freezer blew my mind when I was a kid. Makes me want to play mgs rising every time I see it. #dragonballz #anime

Gave myself a little treat. A new artbook by Masamune Shirow. I was hoping for more tank police, but I still highly recommend it. Might do same scans later. #manga #masamune

“Ghost in the shell” had a surprisingly fun game on PlayStation. It also had amazing cutscenes that perfectly replicated the original look of the manga. #anime #ghostintheshell

“Birdy the mighty” had some great fight scenes. Give it a watch. #anime #birtythemighty

When I was a kid you could watch ranma 1/2 in the middle of the day on german television. Uncensored! #ranma #anime #nsfw

Imagine living in 1988. The only animated movies you’ve seen are from Disney and you go to the cinema to watch akira for the first time. Must have been a mindblowing experience. #akira #anime #oldtaku #classic

Venus Wars is worth watching simply for the amazing animation #anime #venuswars #oldtaku

My remaster of The Weathering Continent is finished. I did a 200gb decode of a brand new Laserdisc & returned it to the frame rate it was mastered at. Final render is 23.6GB with the highest visual clarity possible. Yes, this even beats that sideways DVD they released ages ago in America.

Black magic m66 is the perfect mix between terminator, predator and 80s anime. It took me way too long to finally watch it for the first time. Don’t repeat my mistakes. #anime #oldtaku

Collecting obscure Japanese manga is such a thankless hobby. I can’t even read these!!! Anyway here are some scans from my latest purchase. Basara tank corbs by Mikiya Mochizuki #manga #vintage

Time to scan some art from legendary mangaka Mikiya Mochizuki again. There are so many great mangas released in the 70s that are sadly not relevant anymore, because anime really took off in the 80s. I need to do my part to preserve the past.

Ninja gaiden, onimusha, ghost of yotei and so on. A lot of ninja games are getting released these days. #ninja #anime

This legend deserves a Winsor McCay award

Legends say “daikon IV” flashes before your eyes before you die, if you are an anime fan in your 30s and 40s. #daikonIV #anime #oldtaku

After I'd finished putting Yoshiyuki Takani's page on my website, I noticed that he'd deleted his Twitter account and closed his website a few days ago. It won't be long before his online shop follows suit. vgdensetsu.net/2_YoshiyukiT... 1/4

If you want to read a classic manga about an insane scientist, check out “dr kishiwasa’s scientific affections”. From one of the most underrated mangaka tony takezaki. Here are some scans from my collection:

My remaster of YKK Vol.2 is finished. I did a 200gb raw RF decode of the Laserdisc, then I went frame by frame to return it to the original 23.976 fps rate the series was mastered at. The result is a 10GB 1-Episode rip with the highest visual clarity possible (even beating the DVD!).

The fuma conspiracy had one of the best car chase scenes in anime history. #lupinthethird #anime

Riding bean is on Blu-ray now. If you see anime from the 80s/90s being released on physical media, buy it as long as you can. You might never get a chance again!!! #ridingbean #anime #oldtaku

Chicago car chases and shoot outs… by way of Japan. RIDING BEAN looking nice on @animeigo.com’s recent Blu.

Retro manga recommendation: Flash by Masashi Tanaka. #manga #western#gon

The flying sequences in “Kiki’s delivery service” are insane. You can almost physically feel the height, the wind, the gravity. Unbelievable that it was drawn by hand! #kiki #anime #sakuga #ghibli

Mezzo forte was an historical event. Nobody is ever going to put THAT much effort into a hentai ova!!! #sakuga #anime #action

Time to share some scans from one of my favorite mangaka. I proudly present Mikiya Mochizuki!!! Mostly famous for his manga Wild 7. A series which ran from 1969 to 1979. #manga #art #vintage

"Work hard, Study well and eat and sleep plenty... that's the turtle hermit way to learn!” -master roshi

Don’t be sad that cel-animation doesn’t exist anymore. Be happy that Japan made so many great ovas before it died. Honor the people who spent so much time creating something beautiful #nostalgia #goodolddays #anime

Fighting a giant mech by foot is so badass. If only there was a video game that lets you do that. :( A man can only dream… #mellowlink #anime #thatisnotsolidsnake

Ninja gaiden is back baby!!! Go play the remake so we don’t have to wait another 10 years for another one. Also watch the ova from 1991 for some dumb fun! #ninjagaiden #anime

Interested in an semi realistic mecha anime with believable tech? Try metal skin panic!!! #anime #oldtaku #mecha

I love shootouts in classic anime. They were heavily inspired by John woo movies and would completely destroy the place with bullets. #cowbowbebop #anime #johnwoo

You want to watch classic anime with your significant other? Start with “dear brother”! That’s a guarantee win!!! #dearbrother #anime #relationshipgoals

Remember when women in anime looked like adults? They used to have noses! #anime #oedo808

The coolest sniper in anime history!!! Look how gorgeous the animation is!!! #devilman #anime
