About a year ago I started writing this primer to help introduce 80s anime to new viewers. Here it is in handy, rebloggable format for anyone who missed it the first time! Everything listed here is either a film or direct-to-video OVA for ease of viewing; also I purposefully didn’t include Ghibli films since I figured they need no introduction (I consider Nausicaä to be pre-Ghibli).
My 1991-1995 Anime Primer is coming soon, so look forward to that!
