My introduction to anime

[om3ga]

One of my favorite animated movies as a kid was a 1983 anime called Unico and the Island of Magic, I had no idea what anime was though and I wouldn't find out for quite some time. All I knew was that there was something "off" about the animation and that characters had unusually large eyes. I even hunted down a VHS copy of it on ebay a few years back (before I knew about torrents and youtube). It actually started (like most anime) in manga form, then it was a short lived tv series in Japan. Then two full length movies were made. The Island of Magic was actually the second of the two but I didn't know any of this back then. Someone has posted the entire film on youtube in 10 parts. It's worth a peek if you ask me because even though it is a kiddie movie there are some fairly dark and unsettling moments. Below I've posted a link to part 6 of 10 just for a taste. I picked a part that started off with a little action so you don't lose interest too quickly because I really do think it's a quality flick.
