Writes about obscure & forgotten anime/manga/games/media. Hopeless fan of all Masami Kurumada. As seen (once) on ANN. Living contradiction. He/him... Who again?

So, naturally, I wrote this tweet, which then made me wonder "Huh, I wonder if I could pick a single notable anime from each year of anime out there that has yet to be licensed for North American release?".
So I did just that... And it was hell, but an enlightening hell.
So I figure that maybe I'll just make a thread featuring each of these, from 1968 (because there isn't much point going further back than that) to 2019.
Also, I wound up cheating a lot, mainly during the 00s, because holy crap there's still a ton of cool stuff from that decade.

So today I looked up all of Shonen Jump's old covers that featured the various mangaka in person, which was done from 1979 to 1997, & found the four best reactions:
Akira Toriyama in 1982
Masami Kurumada in 1986
Hirohiko Araki in 1992
Tsunomaru in 1995 (he's eating an ink brush)
Of them all, my favorite has got to be Araki in 1992. Him holding a giant axe (it was a "Space Pirate" theme) while giving that kind of face for the photo makes me think too many things.
