This Day in Anime History 📺✨June 5
An absolute powerhouse of dark fantasy, legendary space opera lore, hardcore action, and high-tech combat:
• Plawres Sanshirou (1983) • The Supergal (1986) • Violence Jack: Harem Bomber-hen (1986) • Antique Heart (1988) • Juubee Ninpuuchou (1993) • Queen Emeraldas (1998) • Tekkaman Blade OVA: Burning Clock (1998) • Tekkaman Blade OVA: Missing Link (1998) • Tekkaman Blade OVA: Twin Blood (1998)
From the mini-mecha wrestling battles of Plawres Sanshirou and Go Nagai's brutal post-apocalyptic chaos in Violence Jack, to Yoshiaki Kawajiri's legendary ninja masterpiece Juubee Ninpuuchou (Ninja Scroll), Leiji Matsumoto's melancholic cosmic space opera Queen Emeraldas, and the complete action-packed Tekkaman Blade II OVA trilogy... June 5 stands as a holy grail for fans of hardcore, high-stakes retro animation.
