* [[Anime/{{Golgo13}} Golgo 13: The Professional]]

* Nostalgia Filter: As the name probably tipped you off this is their main selling point. Their primary target demographics are older anime fans who mostly grew up in the 80s and 90s on the more gritty, brutal and infamous [=OVAs=] and movies that were popular during the early days of the medium and fans of the often sillier and cheesier series that came out during this period. That being said they also tossed in a few more modern shows and titles aimed at younger audiences to cover all their bases.

* Manga/ViolenceJack (All 3 [=OVAs=].)

![=RetroCrush=] provides examples of:

** Cat's Eye Anime
* Manga/CryingFreeman

[[https://www.retrocrush.tv/ Retro Crush]] is an anime streaming site that primarily focuses on older and more obscure titles rather than the latest big hit to come out of Japan. Most of its hosted content ranges from "merely" a few decades to ''around half a century in age if not longer''. Needless to say it puts a strong emphasis on "the good old days of anime" where men were muscular and shirtless, women were cute and moe and giant robots and horrific monsters ruled the roster of most big name shows. Simply put, [=RetroCrush=] is an app for that classic nostalgic anime goodness that has been mostly lost to time.

While other major anime streaming platforms pull in numbers from their giant libraries of content and brand new releases [=RetroCrush=] prefers to keep things cheap, simple and easily accessible. Rather than prioritizing hot upcoming shonen series or generic isekai viewers can expect to find some of the rarer hidden gems from the early days of anime, including popular cult classics and the occasional SoBadItsGood schlockfest titles such as Franchise/{{Devilman}}, Manga/CryingFreeman or Anime/WickedCity just to name a few.

If ancient series from the first wave of anime to hit American shores isn't your thing don't despair, they also have many more modern (though still relatively old) shows both mainstream (like Anime/YuGiOh) and obscure (like Anime/PuppetPrincess) for your viewing pleasure as well. One last important thing to note however, is that while [=RetroCrush=] has many shows that are aimed at kids, families or teens the vast majority of their content is intended for people aged 13+ with no shortage of brutal violence, vulgar language and messed up scenes filling most of their more popular series. (To give you an idea of what to expect on this service both Manga/ViolenceJack and Anime/AngelCop are currently available to stream on the platform. Yes. YouHaveBeenWarned.)
