Robot Carnival.. it fucks
Robot Carnival is an OVA anime-anthology style movie made in 1987, that saw some limited release in the US in 1991. Bootlegs were circulated, and you could find some unauthorized copies in shopping malls across the country with the segments mixed up.
Made in nine parts by nine animators with vastly different styles and vibes. The music is pure 80's chillwave cheese, and is as good today as it was then. Other anthology OVA's like this came later after Carnival's success: Neo Tokyo, Memories, Genius Party, and Short Peace to name a few.
This movie is absolutely stunning in every way. The themes range from serious and dramatic to sincere comedy. The high level of detail for its time, and the number of drawn frames is really a testament to the animators who put this together trying to show off their best stuff. Do yourself a favor and watch this classic before YouTube removes it for some reason.
Enjoy the show.
