Really Old Anime
Filed Under Anime Notes | Leave a Comment
I’ve been compiling lists of the pre-war and pre-1970 animation from Japan:
• A list of short pre-war animation from Japan. These titles can be found on a recent DVD/DVD set. Link to Old Anime table (work in progress.) A few samples are also on crunchyroll.com/anime
• A page in the blog with a list of post-war anime, mainly movies: /WEBSITE/Old Anime (work in progress)
For the following AniDB links you need to use MS Internet Explorer, which displays the filter box properly.
• List of old TV anime series, from the 1960’s onwards: external link
or short URL (thanks Giovanni Wassen)
• List of Movies and OVAs: External link
This is a very full list with many titles for each year from 1917 onwards.

Attack no 1 – Italy
Filed Under Anime Notes | Leave a Comment
Was fiddling around with my satellite receiver and found that I could get Italia1 (a channel that broadcasts some Japanese animation) on 13 deg E which is one of the easiest satellites to pick up.

Also found via Google that the channel “RAI Gulp” on 13 deg. E. (FTA ) broadcasts anime, including Attack no 1 a.k.a “Mimi e la nazionale della pallavolo” on at 19.00 today.
Furthermore, I saw a feed for Italian Ebay which demonstrates that the whole series is available on Italian DVDs and you can buy them for reasonable sums of money. This is a classis sports anime series which I waatched several times in its German version “Mila Superstar”.

Additions to anime database
Filed Under Anime Notes | Leave a Comment
Just added entries on Aoi Hana, Toukyo Magnitudo 8, Bakemonogatari, Nyan Koi, Sasameki Koto, Kimi ni Todoke and Aoi Bungaku (Japanese titles) to my database (see link to left or via WEBSITE).
It took ages. I wonder why I still do this. Blogging is much less laborious.

A Complete Shoujo Anime List
Filed Under Anime Notes | 1 Comment
The Shoujo listing on this site has been revised as The Shoujo Anime Database (2004, 2005, 2006) and, by permission of Vince Ho, incorporates the entire Shoujo Anime List (1995).
Many entries are already in place. Entries based on or matching with the Shoujo Anime List 1995 are generally enhanced by additional data, synopses and comment, and, in some cases, screen grabs. Screen grabs are included purely for purposes of identification and review. (Most screen grabs are in the TV section).The Shoujo listing is extracted from the General database by activating the shoujo option. Read more

Satellite TV Anime
Filed Under Anime Notes | 2 Comments
I used to be interested in watching anime on European satellite TV, before the days of bittorrent and broadband. There was an astonishing amount of it (all dubbed in sundry European languages) something like 8 or 10 hours of anime a day. There isn’t so much now, and most of it is only of interest to small European kids, but some of the channels are still running should you have multi-satellite receiving equipment and want to check it out.
