"Next Move" 80's Montage (from California Crisis)

[@Filbi]

Man, 80s anime was a trip. I get the impression it was much easier to get out-there ideas and unusual styles animated during Japan's bubble economy than today.

[@VictorAHunter]

everything is easier with money huh

[@c.glazercrush3994]

Today people gotta fight the demand,how much do you got in you to keep that up.

[@FireBomberBassist]

This is more stylish and fresh than 90 percent of modern anime. What the hell.

I love the colors and art style so much, too bad the movie is just a bland story that doesnt really surprise....

[@Beast0fBurden]

Most anime pre cgi is god tier. The reason why we rarely see this type of animation anymore is because they take an immense amount of time to create and cost a lot of money. If I remember correctly, Akira took about three years to animate. These kinds of anime are beyond amazing but they require a ton of effort and cost a lot. Japan was also going through one of the greatest economic booms during the 80s which made spending tons of money in production possible. Computer software nowadays can create a full series in a matter of months, if not weeks for a fraction of the cost of traditional animation. The former will always be the more superior however. Nothing beats time and honest effort.

​@@MysticWolf1223 Akira took longer than 3 years, they started production in 1983 and it was only released I'm Japan I'm 1988 and in the US in 1989...so it probably took about 4 or 5 years and Katsuhira Otomu, the director, was still busy working on the Manga at the same time as producing the film... Hence why the story unfolds so differently in the movie

[@marvintn2128]

The thing about 80s anime is that the ratio of bad to good was just as tedious as it is today. The difference is that the bad stuff did not sell, and because it was before the internet, most of the bad stuff was lost to time. So we have the perception that all 80s anime was as good as Macross, Megazone 23, Space Cobra, Fist of the North Star and California Crisis. However, there were just as many stinkers back then as there are today.

I wish this OVA got another episode, it’s so cool that it deserved to at least have a real ending.

[@cruzgonzalez7061]

It was originally planned as a two part OVA.

[@Comkill117]

@@cruzgonzalez7061 Yeah, it’s too bad they went under before it could get made.

[@cyborgchicken3502]

​@@Comkill117 happened to a lot of old school anime sadly... AD Police files is another OVA that was supposed to be a 12 episode series but it got cancelled after 3 episodes, same with Battle Angel Alita anime... Cancelled after 2 OVAs only

0:48 I didn't realize until now that the couple they push aside are both guys. Must be San Francisco. That said, I love the animation for the band and singer. Even though the intensity of their movements don't _quite_ match the song, it's oddly charming.

No it's LA

Think its Venice

@@kooners6961 I was going to guess the sunset strip, right next to WeHo so that tracks.
