Dominion

The new anime release format that appeared in the mid-80s brought new opportunities for studios and various works began to be released on videotapes. Some of them were frankly terrible, but some became classics with a recognizable style and aesthetics. I bring to your attention works worth viewing.

Some are franchises, so only one entry per franchise.

Series I hope will get added to future super robot wars games.

I remember going to the video store, browsing the shelves, and picking out a movie based on the box art alone. I'd look at the front, I'd look at the back, and more often than not I'd put it back on the shelf. Occasionally there'd be something like Ghost in the Shell or Ninja Scroll, and I knew I just had to rent it, or more accurately get my parents to rent it.

This isn't just a list of movies that were available on VHS at my local video store, this is also a list of movies that I would have rented had they been there. They have box art and synopsis appeal, regardless of the reality contained within.

This is my virtual VHS store, where we say Japanimation and we don't stock TV shows unless they're only a few episodes long. I hope you like violence and nudity. Things here also generally skew older, keeping with the VHS theme.

This is the good stuff list. If you want the bad stuff list, go here: https://xss.now.cc/stacks/9520

Do you like watching trashy 80/90s OVAs and movies that are violent, stupid, and nonsensical? Well this list is for you. Some of these are pretty famous in the community like Violence Jack and M.D. Geist, but I made sure to really dumpster dive for some obscure trash for all of you garbage connoisseurs out there.

A protagonist duo that watches each others backs or one of the duo providing support to the more able partner.

Through teamwork they are able to overcome dangerous situations and overcome their opponents, though some duos may start off incompatible but develop throughout the series as they get to know each other better.

1 title per series

> OVAs from 1983-1999.
> Doesn't include all OVAs from the 80s & 90s, but all high rated and high popularity OVAs.

> Except for a few, this list doesn't include OVAs that are sequels or side stories of a series, like the Ranma 1/2, Yuu Yuu Hakusho, Urusei Yatsura, Dragon Ball Z, Hunter x Hunter Pilot, Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, One Piece, Fushigi Yuugi, Slayers & Violence Jack OVAs. (Not enough slots)

> The only hanime OVA I'd include is 'A Kite'. There's a censored version, so it doesn't feel like an hanime.
> Dallos is the first OVA and was directed by Oshii Mamoru, the director of Ghost in the Shell. It was created in 1983.
> Oshii Mamoru also directed the OVAs: Tenshi no Tamago, Twilight Q, Kidou Keisatsu Patlabor and Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai!, all are from the 80s.
