While house cleaning this afternoon, I found an old DVD-R with lots of anime opening movies on it and started watching them. I took this screengrab of my desktop after arranging them somewhat. Can you guess all the titles? These ones should be easy but I have many obscure ones from the ’70s that most people have never even heard of. I should be cramming for the JLPT test tomorrow but I’m not really the cram at the last minute type of guy.
man!!! those are really old!!! i used to watch all of them on TV when i was back in thailand… i mean when i was a kid anyway… you need to start stocking up the new anime i think :)
but i love those anyway.. it’s great to see it again.. 懐かしい。。。
I’m not a big fan of much anime past 1989. Not because it’s bad or anything. I prefer the classic giant robot shows. They had more “soul”.
Any chance you could email me some of those? ^_^
Dave, if you can name all 20 of those. I will ;)
battle of the planets, starblazers, voltron, speed racer…
thats the most i could do…
Um… would it be cheating to just read the titles of the quicktime windows?
I like the sub-title for Kotetsu ‘dan,da,da,da,dan’. I can hear it!
jonas, not the english titles! anyway, voltron aka “GoLion” ain’t there.
robbie, duh! how stupid am I?!
Of course I remember them. I grew up with them! The thing is, I cannot name them since in my country, they have another translations for these animes. These are all my favorites! I’m still collecting action figures for these animes. Gundam, EVA, Yamato…
The one on the left-center is the only one i can’t recognize, and after a minute i see the filenames XD
Urusei Yatsura!! Thats my favorite, but I saw that for the first time 3-4 years ago on TV. The ones I saw as a child on TV (U.S.) were Battleship Yamato, Tranzor-Z (Mazinger), and G-Force.
I only know Speed Racer! What a surprise, huh?! :)
