An absolutely legendary peak-OVA era date in anime history, packed with definitive dark supernatural masterpieces, iconic fantasy comedies, and jaw-dropping 90s action animation:

• Ace wo Nerae! 2 (1988) • Touyama Sakura Uchuu Chou: Yatsu no Na wa Gold (1988) • Legend of Lemnear: Kyokuguro no Tsubasa Valkisas (1989) • 3x3 Eyes (1991) • 3x3 Eyes: Seima Densetsu (1995) • Slayers Specials (1996) • Tetsuwan Birdy (1996) • Rayearth (1997) • Ryuuki Denshou (1997)

From Osamu Dezaki's beautifully intense tennis drama return in Aim for the Ace! 2 and the dark, mesmerizing occult mysticism of the iconic 3x3 Eyes OVA series, to the explosive high-fantasy comedic antics of Lina Inverse in Slayers Specials, Yoshiaki Kawajiri's high-octane sci-fi body-swapping action in Birdy the Mighty, and CLAMP's breathtakingly reimagined, darker alternative fantasy world in the Magic Knight Rayearth OVA... July 25 stands as an absolute goldmine for premium hand-drawn retro masterpieces.

Aim for the Ace!

This is a great show and I’d recommend it to anybody who is itching to watch an anime that involves sports. I started watching this the other night and I was honestly impressed. The drama felt a bit over the top at first, but that was okay. The main character’s struggle shows how toxic environments can impact you. I would especially recommend this anime to people who play sports for their high school or college team because the main character is a girl who was chosen to be a starter for her school’s tennis team out of nowhere (by their school’s new coach) which made a lot of people from the tennis roster dislike her and say negative things about her. If you struggle from insecurities or have had people say negative things about you because you were specifically chosen to be in a team instead of another person, then maybe you’ll like this character and you’ll likely like her journey.
