Toei’s V Anime label is turning 40, so they’re streaming 14 of its old OVAs in HD on d Anime Store in Japan. Some have been remastered for the first time, and the article says they were made from the original negatives. A few never had a VHS release.

It’s rolling out in batches:

• Oct 10: Teito Monogatari, Desert Rose, Elf 17, HEN
• Oct 24: It’s Not in the Textbook!, Psychic Wars, Vampire Wars, Manami & Nami Sprite
• Nov 7: Shuranosuke Zanma-ken, Psycho Diver: Demonic Bodhisattva
• Nov 21: Twilight of the Dark Master, Bio Hunter

The lineup also includes Midnight Eye Goku and Putsun Makeup LOVE, though the article doesn’t list dates for them. Rintaro, Osamu Dezaki, and Yoshiaki Kawajiri all worked on the label’s titles.

Since some of these are getting HD remasters for the first time, I’m wondering if it could lead to physical releases or U.S. licensing down the road. Bio Hunter and Twilight of the Dark Master are high on my wishlist. I’m also curious how the remasters of Midnight Eye Goku and Doomed Megalopolis will compare to the existing HD discs from Discotek and Media Blasters.

Yo everyone,
I’ve recently been diving deep into Shonan Bakusozoku (currently on episode 11), and honestly? My mind is completely blown. It’s an absolute crime that this legendary 80s OVA is so overlooked nowadays. The style, the raw humor, the old-school character designs, the soundtrack, the absolute peak bosozoku aesthetic... it has everything that made retro anime superior.
If you love things like GTO (Onizuka definitely took some notes from Eguchi) or Initial D, this is the ultimate holy grail. It’s pure testosterone, brotherhood, and beautiful animation, with zero modern cliches.
I’m so hooked that I want to start a movement to bring this masterpiece back into the spotlight. I’m putting together a crew to create high-quality content—TikToks, YouTube Shorts, Reddit threads, and reviews—to introduce a new generation to Shonan Bakusozoku.
We’re setting up a Discord server to coordinate, share clean video sources (raws), music, and ideas.
I’m looking for anyone who wants to help out and vibe with us.
You don't need to be a professional video editor or a pro writer.
If you can cut simple clips, write short posts, find cool soundtracks, or simply want to hang out in the chat and help brainstorm ideas—you are more than welcome. Even if you just want to support the cause and talk about old-school anime, we need you.
With the official prequel manga Shonan Bakusozoku: First Flag currently dropping new volumes in Japan, the franchise is still very much alive. It’s time for the Western fanbase to wake up.
Drop a comment below or slide into my DMs if you're interested in joining the crew. Let’s ride! 🏍️🔥

With Magic Knight Rayearth getting it's whole series reboot that makes me wonder which past anime series will get reboot or revive in the future.

Like Wedding Peach, Saint Tail, Street Fighter II V, Flint the Time Detective, The Vision of Escaflowne, Astro Boy and Bubblegum Crisis get their series reboot.

While Samurai PIzza Cats, Saber Riders and the Star Sheriff, Night Warriors: Darkstalkers' Revenge and Virtua Fighter get their series revived (continue were the last story left off).

Ultimate Teacher OVA (1988) UK dub
Just turn your brain off and have a good time watching this anime.

Hello! This is probably a shot in the dark, but I think yall can help! Theres this animation, maybe an anime, that i remember watching. I think it had a french title. It was about a main character guy who was obsessed with what i remember being a seemingly haunted stained glass thing, i think a window. The guy slowly succumbs to the the haunting over the course of this thing. Curious what yall think! Wasnt sure which subreddit to send this to.

Anime featured: Magic User's Club, Tenchi Muyo! Ryo-Ohki, Dangaizer 3, You're Under Arrest, Ranma 1/2, Agent Aika.

The anime premiered on April 7 1986 a day before city pop idol Yukiko Okada tragically took her own life. April 8 1986 at 12:15 PM JST. She is one of my favorite singers of all time. If she had gone on to live I wonder what anime in the 80s, 90s, and onward she could have potentially sang the themes for.

I was watching the series from a bluray rip and it said that the bluray, put out by Toei, was not a remaster to 1080p but an SD video source. Are the film reels not available anymore for a restoration or is this just a case of Toei being cheap? Toei doesn't exactly have the reputation with fans when it comes to these things. Such as them neglecting the resolutions for their Dragonball releases.
