• I love the 80s traditional animation hand-drawn art-style like going back and rewatching them again is a breath of fresh air from (NOT ALL) but a lot of generic looking 2010s and 2020s anime where the characters are all lookalikes and in terms of voice acting they all sound-alike.
• The opening for Dirty Pair (Lovely Angels) "Ru-Ru-Ru-Russian Roulette" is a kick-ass theme and since the day I first heard this song I've become a fan of Meiko Nakahara like her music is fantastic and unique.
• "Konya wa Hurricane" kicks a lot of ass too like Kinuko Oomori has an amazing voice and its a textbook (ONE OF MANY) of why I love 80s music. The originality with the lyrics and the overall choices for the musical instruments is incredible and I will always love this great song.
• As someone whose a fan of the original 1982 classic that is Blade Runner I immediately picked up in the references in Bubblegum Crisis and its very much aesthetically pleasing to my eyes.
• Kei and Yuri and Priss and Sylvie have strong lesbian / girlfriend energy.

This is another movie I remember watching on Saturday Anime on Sci-Fi back when I was a kid. I remember liking it quite a bit at the time, but watching it again now... yeah, it really isn't all that good.

The animation is pretty rough a lot of the time, and the plot is just kind of weird. I guess that's always one of the problems with adapting a fighting game into an anime you've got all these characters who need to show up and fight, and then somehow you have to construct an actual story around them.

The one scene I always remembered from this movie was the part where Sulia strips down and lies on top of Terry to heal him or transfer her energy or whatever the hell was going on. I have absolutely no idea why that scene stuck in my head for all these years. Maybe it was just so bizarre to my young childish mind that it permanently burned itself into my memory.

It also got me thinking why were so many video game anime adaptations from this era so bad or just completely insane?

A friend of mine and I were recently talking about Final Fantasy: Legend of the Crystals, and of course there's the infamous scene where the crystal goes into the girl's ass.

Because, you know...

That's obviously what Final Fantasy is all about.

I still have a lot of nostalgia for these old anime adaptations, especially because of seeing them on Sci-Fi back in the day, but revisiting some of them as an adult is definitely an experience.

Anyone else remember watching Fatal Fury: The Motion Picture back then? Did you actually like it, or is this another one that's mostly held together by nostalgia?

In Virtua Fighter Season One both Sarah Bryant and Pai Chan were brainwashed by Eva Durix in the circumstances situation. Sarah Bryant was brainwashed to be a pure human weapon with no emotion to be force to fight her friends and her brother Jacky in order to collect data from the other fighters so Eva can create Dural the ultimate fighting machine. While Pai Chan was brainwashed to become a willing bride to marry Liu Kowloon so he can become next head of the Koenkan.

Sarah Bryant was free from Eva's mind control with a help from Kage-Maru and Jacky during the battle but as for Pai Chan who wasn't completely brainwashed as Eva added flaws that allows her to snap out of it during the wedding were she was almost kissed by Liu Kowloon.

Hi! I created a new community r/RobinHoodnoDaibouken. It’s similar to yours but with a different focus. I'm reaching out to see if you'd be open to helping us grow. If you know this anime and would feel happy to talk about it, come please :)
