So yeah i've been going back and watching alotta older stuff ir stuff i've missed over the years, and these 2 caught me
Slam Dunk
Initial D

Slam Dunk was cute, Very Simple, and while I dislike watching basketball It held my attention

Initial D, Poorly Drawn, Great Music,  in general, very intriguing Can't wait for season 5.

so what are some of the older series you guys and gals like?

I haven't seen all of it, but I thought Bubblegum Crisis was good (including the original).

The two cosplayers from masquerade entry # 6 at Tekkoshocon 2005 may have said it best:

-See, that's the problem with kids these days, they don't know nothing about that good old school anime!
-Wait - good, old, anime?  Like what?
-Like... where were you at when the Bubblegum Crisis came out? I will tell you where you were at, you were still pooping in your pampers kid!

The sad thing is, what is the definition of 'retro' nowadays? There were a ton of kids at Ohayocon and Katsucon who didn't know who Carmen Sandiego was. T_T NOT ALUCARD.

I always considered retro something past generation, although in media, about 10 years maybe

Fist of the North Star [Hokuto no Ken]

Before Gackt came in and revampt the series into a miniseries and a couple of movies, this was <i>the</i> fighting series.

Take Dragon Ball for example: In Dragon Ball, a bad guy is introduced and isn't confronted until a million episodes later. In Fist of the North Star, there is a bad guy like that in each season but in every episode, a bad guy is found, his little story is told and he is BRUTALLY slain by the unstoppable Kenshiro who uses <b>hokuto no ken</b> a secret martial art, to make them explode from the inside out ... this took place in a post apocalyptic desert wasteland. The drawings were terrible [especially when one considers the source material: the now out-of-print and difficult-to-come-by comic series] and the blood/gore was all whited out [though there was a lot of it]  but it was still a bad ass series >.>
