To all of you who read my work whether following me long term or starting out this year, I wish to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for the support. I started CAM three years ago having never created a blog before and wanting so dearly to talk mostly about 80s anime… I never thought it would be were it is today back then. Whether you find my posts on Google, add me on Pinterest, Tumblr, or Twitter, or are a part of my WordPress family, you have brought me joy thee last few years in knowing I am not alone in being an old fashioned otaku of sorts.
As a final greeting for the year I have two questions for you all…
Question 1: What is your favorite Christmas themed episode, or movie that fits under the anime umbrella? I am interested to see if there are any I have not seen, or forgotten, or if you and I have similar tastes 😉
Question 2: Any requests for next year? I have a few series in process at the moment and I have stuff marked out on my shelf and my hard drive, but I wouldn’t mind a helping hand from you all to help me narrow down future entries. Also, I am always on the look out for any new releases both physical and fansub. My only rules are simple: has to be anime or animated in Japan and focused mostly on the 1980s, but you know I also have a groovy interest for the 1960s and 1970s too.
Have a great New Year, Christmas, Solstice, Hanukkah, Kwanza, Yule, or whatever you celebrate! See you again in 2020.
Josh

P.S. I want to give a final quick thank you to companies like Discotek, Rightstuf/Nozomi, Funimation, Sentai/Maiden Japan and all you fansubbers for keeping these old classics alive and available. Never in my wildest imagination as a kid would I have thought I could have watched so many titles of anime I only heard rumors on or read about in various sources throughout the years.
Merry Christmas Josh!

Hi Josh, hope you have a great holiday too 🙂
For a Christmas film I thought of ‘Tokyo Godfathers’ – but it’s not in the right time period. I was going to suggest ‘Mysterious Cities of Gold’ but I know you’ve got that awesome series covered, how about ‘Ronin Warriors/Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers’?

Thank You. Tokyo Godfathers totally counts for the Xmas question. As for Ronin Warriors/Legendary Armor Samurai Troopers nice choice. I have it on DVD, but never finished it so it would be good to revisit it. I’ll put it on my list 🙂

Awesome, looking forward to hearing what you think!
I’ve been hunting for a copy of the main series for a while as I’ve seen it mentioned here and there over the years, so I’m quite curious.

Samurai Troopers was put out in North America a couple years ago from Discotek, thats when I got it. I found the Ronin Warriors dub on youtube and watched a portion of ep. 1… pretty good interpretation.
