I loooove this!! The first time I watched the movie was about 17 yrs ago when I was 6, and when the SciFi channel (cooler back then) showed Saturday morning Animes... it was the best thing ever!

watch?v=khj9jyNvhpQ - watch this while this s.o.s. band song is playing in the background. 80s overload.

This totally brings me back to the days when I was like 7 or 8 and my older brother and I were into Project A-Ko, Video Girl Ai, Ranma, Fushigi Yuugi, Riding Bean and Tank Police. I remember the Derive and the Two Robots shorts the most from this. I feel bad for those who grew up too late to catch these back in the day when Sci-Fi channel was cool.

Oh yes i remember that when i was 5 and that was a cool game plus i rented the anime when i was in high school when Streamline distributed it. I also remembered renting My Neighbor Totoro the same year i saw this and Vampire Hunter D on TBS after hearing great reviews and became a miyazaki fan and i rented Akira when i was 13 as it blew my mind and left an impression on me.

@Johnlindsey289 Unless they happened to play the Castle Of Cagliostro arcade game; Cliffhanger, 2 years prior.

The tune in the beginning sounded like the final fantasy theme, the park looked like Disneyland

This will always be my favorite from Robot Carnival.

@Johnlindsey289 Yes, that was my first anime. Many years later I finally watched the original with subtitles, thankfully.

@shincyriades

But you do remember Warriors of the Wind right? that 1985 New World chopjob of Nausicaa that had Hal Smith in it and the names were changed? every 80's child's introduction to Miyazaki

[shincyriades]

@Johnlindsey289 All but Last Unicorn and Unico, but Last Unicorn sounds familiar. When I knew what anime was, though, I started picking up vhs tapes when I could and watched the hecks out of Toonami.

@shincyriades

Did you ever watched Mysterious Cities of Gold, Voltron, Warriors of the Wind (the 1985 New World butchery of Nausicaa), Thundercats, Last Unicorn, Unico 1 & 2 etc.?
