I've been out of the anime game for about a decade and want to get back into it. I felt like shows I liked had stopped being made and the animation in general was really declining. I want to get into back into anime and was hoping for some suggestions. I feel like the 1980's and early to mid 90's will have what I want. I like a lot of different genres so feel free to suggest just about anything. Also should I watch JoJo?

Well...the BGC OVA lacks an ending and it just sort of stops. That always bugged me a little bit, after the fact. The TV series got weird, but I vaguely recall it did have some resolution. Don't remember any details (and not sure I want to). My answer to the initial question is Gundam 0080: War in the Pocket. It's great and you don't need to watch any Gundam beforehand.

How about shoujo? Glass Mask is an absolute classic, but not very popular in the US. There was an anime in '84, but it was only 23 episodes, so if it's not breaking the rules too much you might consider watching the 2005 remake instead which is still extremely "80s Style", but just with higher production values. Technically the Rose of Versailles anime went into the 80s, too, but I have no idea whether the anime is also good or just the manga. I feel like there was a bunch of classic shoujo in the 80s but I haven't seen a lot of it so it's not coming to mind, maybe someone else can chime in. Speaking of stuff from '79, do you like robots? The original Gundam series is another great. The original series had some big animation problems (not to mention being real long), but it later got reworked into three movies and they're a great digest. So try to find them. Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind is real cool. Well, all the Miyazaki stuff. edit: Honestly there's a lot of great stuff from '79, You might do well to include that year. For instance, the first Galaxy Express 999 movie. If you like it there's a ton of similar works by the author, Leiji Matsumoto, you may have seen that Daft Punk anime movie thing.

It might work out easier if you said what you liked and what you didn't like first. On the one hand, you like a lot of different genres. On the other hand, shows you liked stopped being made in sufficient quantities about a decade ago such that you mostly lost interest in anime. Generally speaking, the 1980s are "the golden age of SF anime," so I'm going to throw out a guess and say that perhaps one of the genres you want is space opera-y things? That's something for which there used to be lots of but now is somewhat of a rarity. Examples: Superdimensional Fortress Macross Captain Harlock: My Youth in Arcadia (which is in line with the Galaxy Express 999 films and the Space Battleship Yamato sequels, such as Be Forever Yamato) Space Adventure Cobra Crusher Joe (which dovetails with the Dirty Pair, of which Project E.D.E.N. is generally considered among the best installments) Rather than list more, I'll wait for some feedback in case I'm totally off-base in my assessment.

SF is fine with me. My problem with modern anime is the problem a lot of people have with modern anime. The style has definitely changed over time. I'm not prejudiced against everything new however. I hand't seen a lot of anime from the 80's but just felt like from what I had heard of it it would connect with me.
