Patlabor OAV
I like this original precursor to the movies best. It had better stories, designs and overall production values than the following series, which probably had something to do with Oshii. Those angular, diamond-shaped eyes in the TV series designs freaked me out a bit.
I'm in a different camp of liking the TV series more than the OVAs, actually. Something just didn't mesh with the OVAs, while still highly enjoyable and a must see for Oshii fans, didn't capture the same charisma as the TV cast. Of course one could attribute this to 7 episodes versus 47 for the TV series, therefore allowing much greater depth. Although after watching them back to back, the OVA easily has much smoother animation (well it is an OVA after all, with higher production values) than the following series.

I do enjoy the original Gunbuster / Top Wo Nerae 6 episode series as well. It's being released this March by Honneamise, for the first time since the US Renditions on VHS.

Akira, despite being heavily truncated from the 2000 page / 6 tome manga, is still an exceptional film, boldly showing such fluid animation, that really makes me enjoy traditional hand drawn animation more than CGed animation that seems to be the current rage today.

I’m a pretty big Macross TV Series, as well as Macross: Do You Remember Love fan. Actually, to be more honest, I’m more into the mecha designs by Shoji Kawamori (which did the mecha designs for the recent Eureka 7), than the story itself. It’s difficult to say, but there are parts in Macross which I am a fan of, while there are some that I couldn’t care less, which surprisingly one of the points would be the variable fighters of a Valkyrie turning into a GERWALK and also into Battroid mode. This isn’t a huge issue, but it’s something I don’t actually care much for. The relationships between the characters is fun to watch, and isn’t too overly done. However Macross Plus easily remains as my top favorite of that particular universe.

Old anime I should check out because of their LEGENDARY status are:

Maison Ikkoku
Kimagure Orange Road
Star Blazers/Space Battleship Yamato
Pretty much anything 90’s/Pre-90’s Gundam, I’m very ignorant in this field ;__;
(for shame, I failed Keroro Gunsou)

Also, Angel of Light, so you did check out the SPACE CHANNEL - IMAGINATION STATION back in the days huh? Ever remember seeing Venus Wars? Yeah that's what got me hooked on. I was like, shit, this is from JAPAN?.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I remember watching anime such as venus wars, dominion tank police, and big wars on the space channel.
Big Wars? Ugh, don't remind me. That movie was just about as bad, if not worse, than MD GEIST I/II DEATH FORCE. How fucking corny can you get with animu titles. Also, I'm not too happy I have to be reminded of his craptastic american football type armor whenever I pop in one of my US MANGA CORPS Patlabor DVDs ;__;.

I have the Dominion Tank Police DVD, which I believe it's the first one of a two part OVA (I think), but haven't watched it yet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
