.AniManga Nostalgia

Welcome to AniManga Nostalgia! Here we celebrate the Anime and Manga of yesteryear, primarily the '80s and '90s. These two eras were the birth place of many great titles that today's youth sadly did not grow up with. I'm talking about original concepts, great character designs, and beautiful cell-drawn animation. So, come along as we travel back in time, into the world of the Anime and Manga of the past!

I'm back!

I'm back from my month-long hiatus. Sorry, I've been going through so things. Anyway, today I'll be posting some random pictures here and there. I'll try and do some photo-sets, but Tumblr isn't really cooperating at the moment. Oh! Also, I must say hello to my many new followers!

Vampire Princess Miyu ad in the January 1989 issue of Newtype. The Miyu OVA is tight! The animation quality (AIC & Pony Canyon) and the music was on point. The English dub was a little off but I still do recommend this title. I think the other reason why I like this OVA so much is that Toshihiro Hirano directed this series. You know him, iconic character designer of Iczer 1, Dangaioh and Tobikage. He and his animator/mangaka wife Narumi Kakinouchi created the manga.
