Out of all of these, Star Blazers was never mentioned. I think that is one of the fundamental anime's that opened the door for others to enter. That and Macross. Those are old schooled in my opinion.

Uchū Senkan Yamato (Star Blazers) was broadcast in 1974–75, while Chō Jikū Yōsai Macross was broadcast in 1982–83, so neither is appropriate to an article about the 1960s. |

I've some sort of B&W Astroboy VHS, I think, from Rightstuf in the corner, so maybe they still have it if ya ask them.
Though I preferred Voltes V, even over Voltron or Daimos. But then, I also preferred Blue Submarine Noah over Star Blazers, which would be blasphemy. |

They do have Prince Planet on YouTube otherwise, or is that blocked in your country too? But yes, too often I feel they should at least arrange the rights for these to be in both country from the start if it's possible to make it a joint North American effort. |

My country would be the US ... even after coming back from a decade in Oz. So I can't check for region blocking myself, but maybe TAS314 can? I think this is the series link. It is, in any event, good practice to check if a Hulu stream is also on YouTube. Hulu is built from the ground up to be US-only, because its a joint venture of primarily broadcast partners, and broadcast is one area where Canadian and US rights are normally fractured. Youtube has no such restriction, so if the streaming rights came as an all of R1 package deal, a YouTube stream can easily be set to allow streaming to Canada. |

I do too! As for you, Mr. Toole, you are my hero! Since I am old enough to be the mother or perhaps even grandmother of some of the posters, I shake my head sadly when people speak of the 90s as old school!!! So many thanks for this, Mike. |

Really, I'm old enough to have kids too and feel the same way. It's like your own mom gushing about the cartoons she saw in her youth she tries to press onto you (for me, it was Mr. Magoo and Gerald McBong-Boing since my mom grew up in the 50's). |

Thanks to being in South Korea a while back, I got a chance to experience Sally the Witch (color series). The Korean dub does have a better opening (more rockish). Anime sure has come a long way since the ancient days before we were all born.

Great to see ANN has stepped up their columns and added cool guys with sexy voices (like Mike Tool). I was getting kinda bored of the Shelf Life and RTO reviews since reviews is what we're a lot of nowadays. Keep it up, Mike I'm reading it!

This would've been a vastly different show, I think! |

I still miss the kiddie chorus in those theme tunes. I want that back!
If you're talking about the newer show CN bothered to air, you can forget it, it's not THE Gerald McBoing-Boing I knew. |

Logically the best organization may be "old school" (Atroboy), "new school" (Gatchaman), "golden age" (Cowboy Bebop), "technology age" - due to the reliance on computers and global teams- (current). Technically, the terms "new school" and "old school" stand for an era/style and not something's age or its age in relation to the speaker. In other words, "old school" does not simply mean "old."
Anyway you look at it, Azamanga/Cowboy Bebop are definitely not "old school." To younger fans they are "old" but do not warrant "old school" in any way. |

And from where. The last popular "wave" kinda ended when Cartoon Network lost interest in anime. Best as I can tell, the next one will need TV, too, and I don't know how that's going to happen. I've always thought less in terms of old/new school and more in terms of decades, but if we're going by birthdate, pretty much anything before Akira would count for me. |
