I realize that my post yesterday about anime and manga from the 90's is really just a facet of my tastes and bias: I just really like weird, obscure, nifty sci fi stuff, especially when it's nothing I've ever really seen before. You can apply this to my tastes in movies, games, comics, novels, whatever. That's just me.
But I just wanted to further illustrate my point. I found this at work tonight, 5 minutes before closing:
Clearly, I had to have it. Also, I scanned this myself, DO NOT TRY GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH YOU WILL ONLY WANT TO CLAW YOUR EYES OUT WITH A SPOON.
No, I haven't watched it yet, and no, I know nothing about it aside from the fact that it's a 1984 OAV, it's sci fi, and and I am in love with those character and robot designs. I dig that package design too. I'm so excited about watching it later.
It could suck, I'm not sure, but I'm still stoked about owning some obscure anime.
(also, guy who commented on the previous post: I responded in my own comment already, BUT HOLY CRAP I'm glad I'm not the only person who watched RahXephon!)
