What's Michael?

The criteria here is simple: Anime released in any year, with under 15,000 MAL Members, and which I've rated a 6 or higher.

Now that I'm including anime from any year, I've lowered the MAL member threshold. The rating threshold remains at a 6, because sixes are still pretty good.

It is perhaps worth noting that I rate things entirely on gut feeling. It's just, "I like that, that was good, it gets a 7.", that's the whole process. I can also find enjoyment in just about anything and there's very little that bothers me.

I can’t say these titles are good, but they are unforgettable.
This is a list to compile the odds and ends I recommend for no reason other than they exist.

Every cinema or direct to video anime film that came out in 1985.

All OVAs from 1983-1985 that I've found so far. This is the majority of them, but I'm probably still missing a few obscure ones, recaps, or miscellaneous releases. One notable OVA excluded from this period is Cream Lemon, on account of it being a hentai series.

Note: I've seen varying dates for Midori no Neko, which is sometimes listed as 1983. I'll leave it here for now.

This stack should include anime with manga-style scenes that could feature voiced dialogue, dynamic panning shots, and rapid cuts. Akin to the FLCT manga scene which was the outset for this interest stack.
Motion comics such as Ninja Bugei-chou and Golgo 13 Selection (1971) will be included until someone creates a separate list.

Feel free to refer me to an anime ad, miss. o(*≧▽≦)ツ
