  I’ve heard of all of them and seen at least three: Locke (which I don’t remember at all, except that I think all that was translated was the last bit of an established universe, making it a bit difficult to follow), Night on the Galactic Railroad (an odd philosophical story about saying goodbye whose main characters are anthropomorphic cats), and Dagger of Kamui (an historical adventure taking place in the 19th century that I think the mangaka of Golden Kamui must have seen at some point, since the MC was Ainu if I recall correctly).

  Touch is a sports anime (basketball??) and so outside my area of interest. Area 88 is SF of some sort. I know nothing about the other two except the titles.

  Holy shit Sea Prince and the Fire Child. One of the few movies my dad had on the ol’ beta tape and the first anime I recall seeing as a young’n.

  I’d like to add Galaxy Expeess 999 to this list! It had a sequel but I don’t remember enjoying it as much… and I only saw it once decades ago. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

    The sequel was Adieu Galaxy Express, I believe. Been a long time since I saw either one, but if I recall correctly, the issue with the second movie was that the plot wasn’t all that different from the first one.
