Back when Kissanime was still around I would find some really obscure stuff, one of those was the original anime adaptation for Dororo from 1969 simply titled "Dororo to Hyakkimaru"


If you are a fan of the modern retelling I actually reccomend watching this version too

Boku no Pico


tries too hard to be edgy and is blocked by many because he acts rude towards others to feel better about himself.

if movies count, then Nausicaa of Wind Valley (1984). if not, then Dragon Ball (1986-1989)

the original lupin iii

Not sure I've seen every episode, but I definitely watched a lot of Speed Racer growing up.


The Mysterious Cities of Gold



I wasn't able to watch it as a kid because it aired outside my viewing hours, but it stuck in my brain as I'd rarely catch a glimpse of it being advertised. My child brain would sometimes mix it up with another anime from then I don't know the name of because it seemed only to ever air on Telemundo. That one had like a red 'n blue robot in it.


Aaanyway, I eventually rediscovered it and got the whole series through...means.

It's kinda shocking how much Avatar: The Last Airbender is in this show...or vice versa I suppose. It's a big journey anime that spends damn near the entirety of its something like 20+ episodes getting to the titular Cities of Gold and its shockingly dedicated to telling a serialized story at a time when there was no reason to and every reason not to. And it looks incredible! It's old school anime, so the animation's got rough patches, but the actual visual style and art direction puts it miles ahead of it contemporaries.


Commissions are now OPEN! C'mere to see the Dumb Dump!

Tom Swayer (yes it was made into an anime), it was made in 1980.

Either Astro Boy or Speed Racer, considering that they've been in syndication on Cartoon Network until well into the 90's/2000's. (Obviously they were whitewashed, but we didn't know any better, or even cared)


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

The OVA adaptation of Black Jack that started in 1993.

well i can't help it that my art teacher shown it to me when i was in high school


To completion? 100%? It's gotta be Gunbuster, though that's all OVAs. As for a more ''traditional'' format, the original Dragon Ball's the oldest I've watched. I've got plenty of old stuff on my backlog though. I'll get to it one day...
