Forgotten 80s Sci-fi Anime That Are Worth Seeking Out

July 2, 2021 by Red Stewart

Marvelous Videos presents underrated sci-fi anime from the 1980s…

Everyone knows about Akira. Katsuhiro Otomo’s cyberpunk classic sparked a wave of interest in Japanese animation or anime back when it was released in 1988. But what many anime fans may not know is that there were a ton more science fiction products being produced and released throughout the 80s: entertaining sci-fi anime that unfortunately didn’t quite garner the acclaim that Akira did.

Not to fear – they are finally getting some much deserved interest thanks to a video from Marvelous Videos. Check out their recommendations here…
