danth Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 The only others I can think of are Voltron (giant combining Tigers are mecha too, I guess) and Dangaioh (which really needs an unbutchered US release). Quote
chrono Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Yeah that list has several holes in it. Even if you bias it by country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animated_tele...on_series#1980s Quote
CoryHolmes Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 There's Detonator Orgun. If you're including bio-mecha, can't forget about the first Guyver series and the OVA. Angel Cop features cyborgs and psychics, so I don't know if that fits your critera or not. Quote
Doryu2025 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Is it worth mentioning that while ostensibly Aura Battler Dunbine TV was released in its entirety, that the final two volumes (11 and 12) are for all practical intents and purposes impossible to find these days? If someone was out to finally purchase the series in English, they'd have a very hard time getting past Volume 10! Quote
Gui Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Main reason why I never began to purchase this series, and God knows how much I want to see it... Quote

Angel Cop features cyborgs and psychics, so I don't know if that fits your critera or not. Orgun was released in '91, so it's not technically eighties, but it's still old-school. I just looked up Angel Cop; you're right, its first episode was released in '89. I didn't know it was that old! Quote
