With another year’s worth of Urusei Yatsura watched, it’s time for another selection of the anime shows that started airing in 1983. Another year packed with classic material.
Aesop’s Fables
Aishite Night
Aku Dai-Sakusen Srungle
Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland
Weird mix of Alice’s typical Nippon Animation heroine look and the attempts at wacky in the designs of the Wonderland characters.
Armoured Troopers VOTOMS
Captain
Captain Tsubasa
Cat’s Eye OP
Dorvack
Galactic Whirlwind Sasuraiger
Georgie
Ginga Hyoryu Vifam
Iga no Kabamaru
Warped tape alert! Trying to find a clip of this that isn’t dubbed into Greek is hard! Big in Greece it seems.
Mospeada
Kinnikuman
Surely a candidate for a Dragonball Kai style re-edit?
Kousoku Denjin Albegus
Crikey, there were a lot of Giant Robot shows this year. This is another one of those whose design seems inexplicably familiar. I see Matchbox released toys expecting it to be a third Voltron series, so that might be it. Also it got screened in Spain, so the toys from there may have made their way over here to the UK too.
Creamy Mami
Mimu, the Traveller of Many Dreams
Future Police Urashiman
Miyuki
Nanako SOS
Pa-man
Plawres Sanshiro
Is this the first “battling toys” anime/manga? I’m talking of the genre where the hero is clearly a stand in for the viewer/reader rather than something like Transformers.
Psycho Armor Govarian
Aura Battler Dunbine
Spoon Oba-san ala Mrs Pepperpot
Another sister show to Urusei Yatsura, based on the novels you may have read as a kid. I know I did. Another utterly charming Kohji Nantsuka animated opening.
Stop!! Hibari kun!
Super Dimension Century Orguss
The Alps Story: My Annette
