I just watched “Vampire Hunter D” for the first time. It rules, I can also see its influence in a lot of other anime, scifi, and other cool nerd shit. It’s really a shame I have never sat down and watched it until now. It fuckin’ rips!.

I need more animated films of that era that aren’t made for the selling of toys. Doesn’t have to be anime but really any sort of sleeper/underrated animated films from the 80s and 90s. I need more animated cinema.

    Some Eastern Bloc animation:

    The work of Karel Zeman (Czechoslovakia), like The Fabulous Baron Munchausen

    The work of Marcell Jankovics (Hungary), like Son of the White Mare

    Romania’s first feature-length animated film Delta Space Mission

      Hell yeah! This is what I’m talking about! I feel like animation outside of the US and Japan doesn’t get enough love. I’ll check these out for sure.
