[FONT=Arial][COLOR=black]Over the decades, Japanese Animation has featured all sorts of amazing films, T.V. series, and direct-to-video works. [/COLOR][/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Since there's more to great Japanese Animation than just what's being released of this decade, what Japanese Animated series/miniseries/one-shots/films from the past decades would you recommend to those wanting to explore Japanese Animation's past as well as to those who are just new to the fanbase? For each title you recommend, indicate your reason(s) for the recommendation (can be about the type of story or artistsic quality, or any kind of reason you can think of).[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]For example, I recommend all 1970s and 1980s series and films of the "Space Battleship Yamato" (Star Blazers) franchise as they feature a well balanced mix of dramatic space adventure, WWII-styled battles and battleship designs, and epic/dramatic music composition.[/FONT]

Irresponsible Captain Tylor. Funny, action packed, and just all around amazing. Easily looked over, but I promise those who have seen it, love it.
