Did you grow up on Speed Racer, Star Blazers or Robotech?

Then this might be for you.

Rules:

1> Vintage is in the eye of the beholder but probably pre 2000s is a safe bet.

2> Discussion of new release of old shows is welcome

3> Discussion of unofficial releases should be limited to shows that are not currently available outside of Japan otherwise.

4> Have fun!

I'd like to start a thread of what you think are your favorite odd-ball one-off or short OVA series (could even be VHS only) that others might not know about?

My favorite is Phantom Quest Corp. from 1994. A ridiculous action-comedy about an unlikely group of Spirit Hunters that includes drunk karaoke, a shy vampire who won't drink people's blood and a tube of lipstick that turns into a lightsaber.

I've not yet finished this one, but in my opinion Getter Robo: Armageddon should be more well known. When I saw the first 2 episodes, I was quite surprised that it's so obscure given how historically important Getter is.
