There used to be a trend back in the day to retell anime tv series into movies. These movies were complete remakes like "Macross: Do You Remember Love?" which essentially rearranged the core pieces of their shows to make a more condensed 2 hour experience. I've always thought these films were interesting because we get 2 versions of the same story, so I thought I'd make a list of them.

Anime in the "Leijiverse", mostly adapted from Leiji Matsumoto's mangas. Ranked from newest to oldest

In the dawn of the digital age, many creators have expressed their hopes and fears about technology and its influence on human society through science fiction anime, creating many interesting interepretations of what our future could be (or even what our present is) with regards to the ever accelerating integration of technology into our lives.

Some of these anime may explore technological revolution in a military or political context, some others in intimate personal dramas. Some are hard, realistic, grounded sci-fi with a lo of genuine scientific backing and others are bordering in fantasy. Some of these are true cyberpunk, and others are entirely opposed to it. Some of these works are pessimistic and fearful about tecnhology, whereas others present hopeful and idealistic possibilities, and some others simply present a grey future with as many advantages as disadvantages. But the main connecting aspect here is the exploration of sci-fi as a fundamental theme and the exploration of te philosophical, sociopolitical and/or psychological consequences of technology whether directly or indirectly, seriously or lightheartedly.

Common tropes & themes: artificial intelligence & meaning of being human, technological implants/bodily enhancements, virtual/augmented reality, social media & deep internet, space travel & space war, extreme capitalism and urbanism in the digital age, personal relationships between humans and androids, discrimination and opression between humans and androids, psychological/physical deterioration due to use of experimental technology

Notes:
- For Blame! read the manga instead
- For The Animatrix, watch The Matrix movies first
- For Blade Runner: Black Out 2022, watch the Blade Runner movies first

This part covers 1943-1983
Part 2 coming soon, whenever I finish it.

I'm not knowledgable about all of these, as the list wasn't originally made by me, so some entries are missing detailed descriptions. Sorry about that.

A list containing anime movies, OVAs, and shorter TV shows (episodes less than ~22 minutes) that lack fanservice. I did not include Ghibli movies on this list because they are often the go-to answer to fanservice-free anime.

The best anime you can find on Crunchyroll.

These are old anime on Crunchyroll, at least as far as MAL identifies them. The stack is ordered newest to oldest.

I started with the oldest anime on MAL: Winter 1917 (hard to believe but there are actually two entries). I scanned through the seasons and years, looking for anime with the Crunchyroll logo and stacked them here. The oldest is Lupin III from Fall 1971. I stopped stacking after Fall 1989. Sadly, it appears the link from the CR icon to the series on CR is broken. The links for HIDIVE and Funimation seem to work.

As to accuracy or completeness, there are no guarantees either way. MAL could be mistaken about a show being on CR and conversely, there are anime on CR that MAL doesn't flag. On top of that, the shows licensed by CR change over time so this stack will go out of date and I don't have firm plans to maintain it.

In passing, I noticed a few things:
-- there are no MAL entries for Fall 1918 through Summer 1926.
-- there are no MAL entries for Summer 1945 through Spring 1947
-- the first multi-season series was "Instant History" in Spring 1961
-- prior to Spring 1961, there were many seasons with no anime; after Spring 1961, there was at least one show each season

And here's something else I just discovered: click on the Anime menu on the left of the main menu bar, then click on Anime Search. Not only will you get a search box, you'll also see a bunch of links that will take you to lists of MAL entries based on the link title. The lists can be sorted by Title, Score, Start Date, and Members. In the Anime Seasons group, click the View More link to get the list of seasons going back to 1917. I'm impressed, MAL.

I don't have a good reason for doing this. I just thought it would be interesting.

Uchuu Kaizoku Captain Herlock aka Space Pirate Captain Harlock is one of the fruits that sprang from the mind of creator Leiji Matsumoto (1938-2023).
