It's so difficult to find 70's-80's anime. For the entire month of October, I went on a search to find classic animes because I was in the mood to watch some. Unfortunately, I came out with nothing except maybe finding one luck.

In order to get older animes, I think the only way is by bootlegs. There are places where you can get bootlegs of the entire series of an old anime show...but with these, subtitling can be off or just plain terrible.

Also, older animes tend not to be transferred onto DVD form. So, you may have to resort to distribution of VHS. There are some forums where people trade tapes of old anime shows they've tape and whatnot. Unfortunately, one of the forums I found a few months back, I lost the address and can't find it again.

But, Panuru, I don't know what you're looking for, but I had luck with Amazon UK because un-friggin'-belivably they had put an old show that I love on DVD. Seriously, I've been searching for this series since, like, the beginning of time and I couldn't find it until now. Thank you Amazon UK! So, you may be able to find something there, I'm not sure...

Then, there's also Anime Vagabond which are downloaded series onto VHS, but I was able to find some classic stuff, like Akage no Anne and 3000 Leagues in Search of Mother.

Okay, then you might want to try Anime Art/Stand where it has bootleg DVDs from Hong Kong. But, this place may have many classic titles because I bought a series from them that I've been looking for (Tongari Boshi no Memoru/My Neighbor Memoru).

Finally, there's the ever popular Ebay. If you type in some of the titles you are thinking about, it may come up. Or you can type in "classic anime" and something might come up too; I tried this and I was able to find some old ones I used to watch, such as Sea Prince and Fire Child, Swan Lake, Daddy Long Legs, and even Unico.

Hope this helps Panuru...what titles are you looking for, just curious.
