What Is Your Favourite Old School Manga/ Anime Series?
What are your top five old school anime or manga series?
To quality the series must be ‘over’ 15 years of age.
Therefore, people who state Naruto, Death Note or even One piece for that matter, will be shot on the spot ( No rhyme intended)
My personal top five:
1.Berserk(1989)- 20 years, and still going strong.
2.Lupin III(1967)- Possibly the best crime/ detective series ever made.
3.Fist of the North Star(1983)- A decent combat based series.
4.Black Magic(1983)- Cyberpunk/ mechanoid manga at its finest.
5.Blade of the immortal(1994)- A true samurai manga, only rivaled by Vagabond.
Kind Regards.
Yes, I know many of you will say Dragonball(1984) ._. or Sailor moon(1992) =D

sorry, i’m more into the newer ones. the older ones tend to have worse ..maybe not graphics but..how should i say..artistic style. It’s alot slopper or unproportionate. that’s just my opinion though ^.^’

I remember watching the anime early in the morning on Adult Swim, years ago.
EDIT:
Oh yes dear, Lupin is incredible.
Doreamon
Vampire hunter d

Cardcaptor Sakura was first written in 1996, It may not fit your criteria, but I think it counts.
I dont read that much manga, but Big-O was awesome.
EDIT:did i get thumbs down because of a troLL, or you didnt Like my answer?
I loved Lupin the 3rd and Cyborg 009
1. Dragon Ball — It’s a classic. Even though now if I see it again, I’ll be like what was I thinking? LOL
2. Sailor Moon — I’m a gal and a gal always have a Magical Girl phase when they’re younger and no I will not reveal my age!!! LOL
3. City Hunter — Hilarious! I remember LMAO everytime I read the manga. Not really a fan of the anime tho. It started at 1985 but I didn’t watch it that early. I’m not that old.
4. Mari Chan series by Kimiko Uehara– I was young and naive…I love ballet too so…LOL
5. Doraemon — My Sunday morning routine back home always started with Doraemon instead of church. LOL
^_^
NB: That brings back a lot of memories! Thanks
X/1999 (1992)- A classic CLAMP series. Slight shonen-ai, but the apocalyptic theme makes it bothe interesting and different.
Yu Yu Hakusho (1990)- Both hilarious and clever. It appeals to boys because of the awesome fight scenes, and girls because of the various pretty boys who pop up.
Vagabond- Classic samurai epic. ‘Nuff said there.
Cowboy Bebop- Clever, with a good blend of comedy, tragedy, sci-fi, and great character development.
Gundam- I’m not talking about the latest series, I mean THE original Gundam. Art is a bit shaky, but the plot and characters are interesting.
Tokyo Babylon- Prequel to X/1999. More pretty guys, and great art by CLAMP.
Descendants of Darkness- I know, I know, it’s kinda shonen-ai-ish, but the characters and plot are great, and the smatterings of comedy and tragedy make it interesting.
Black Jack- Classic. Absolutely classic.
Sailor Moon- The classic girl’s anime series. Trying watching it again, and I promise that it’s just as interesting as it was when we were only six
There are probably way more that I haven’t put on this list, but you get the point. If these hadn’t been created, a lot of the manga that we enjoy lately probably would be way different.
I also realize that there are more than five here, but it’s so HARD to narrow it down to only five.
