Retro Anime
This is a subreddit for fans of older anime and manga. It doesn't matter if you're a classic Toonami kid, a Usenet hero, or someone simply interested in the history of anime, everyone is welcome here. The focus should be on series and titles that were broadcast, or published before 2000, where older fans can gather and discuss the Usenet/BBS days, old school conventions, fan clubs, or whatever, and new fans can ask about those days as well as discussing anime itself.
