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.

The Patlabor OVAs and films are great, beautiful mecha animation and political intrigue (the OVAs+films form one continuity while the TV series and later OVAs form another)

Mentioning Patlabor feels like cheating lol. The third movie, WXIII, is worth pointing out that it's kind of a totally different thing. It's a detective story set in the Patlabor setting. It's incredibly mid and kinda trashy, so it almost evokes the vibes of watching a goofy 80s OVA

Going from Patlabor 2 to 3 had me fucked up.

Yes! I mean it was okay as a movie, interesting setting of course, 5 second Labor cameo at the end, but... damn
