To the uninitiated viewer, the characters could have been a part of any military organization and it just so happens they’re living in a future with hovering cars. However, aside from a GoShogun model toy making an early cameo appearance, there’s no direct indication that this is a sequel to a mecha anime. Last I checked, there aren’t even fan translations of the GoShogun series, but feel free to correct me on that. Time Stranger seems like an oddball choice to recommend, given that 1) it’s out-of-print currently (though copies of the Central Park Media release aren’t hard to find as of the time of this writing) and 2) it’s a sequel to a TV series that never got an English release. We’re lucky to live in an era where companies like Discotek and Crunchyroll are making older anime more available for our viewing pleasure, but the big question remains: where do I start? If you’re looking for an anime that’s obscure, old, and unique, might I recommend GoShogun: The Time Etranger, released in the US under the name Time Stranger?
I’m talking mid-80s, when I didn’t even exist yet. I’m not talking about anime from the early 2000s or 90s. It’s hard to find old anime that’ll appeal to younger fans.
