Chronicles of the Heroic Knight is boring as hell. You're better off watching the first few episodes before the perspective shift then just watching Welcome to Lodoss Island. He rest doesn't exist!
oh lodoss war...
The opening to the Chronicles of the Heroic Knight series was amazing. I never watched it because someone told me my favorite character dies
also.. anyone watch GunBuster?
SIMEE-SUUUU
look here, upon a sig graveyard.

I keep meaning to watch gunbuster. I hear that it was on bluray for a while
GunBuster is an all-time classic. Gainax in their prime and Haruhiko Mikimoto providing the character designs? Yes please. One of the very few sci-fi series I've seen that tried to depict the theoretical effects of light speed travel and time dilation in a "realistic" manner. It makes for some seriously tense drama.
The giant robot anime coming out of that '83 to '95 sweet spot was spectacular.
One of my favorite bits of animation is from Golden Boy:
I think the first episode is the pilot, which takes place in between two later episodes and the quality is really good...
Then the series starts and it kind of looks way worse. It does build up to looking almost as good as the original episode near the end.
look here, upon a sig graveyard.
Orson goes out a hero, though
The Legend of Crystania Film and OVAs are pretty good, too. It's manga, but the Lady of Pharis is also excellent. I really want the Rune Soldier novels translated, too. They take place on the larger continent of Alecrast north of Lodoss. Seems like a certain Free Knight and his elven friend makes an appearance.
Back in the mid-90s my family had one of those old full-size satellite dishes with the satellites named stuff like G1, F4, etc. Every friday about the time x-files came on there's be a station on one of the obscure satellites called channel 1 that showed Streamline dubbed anime. Saw a lot of good stuff, like Castle of Cagliostro, 3x3 Eyes, Silent Mobius , etc. Showed the old Streamline ads, too.
