Baoh the Caller, called Baoh the Visitor when I watched it back in the 90s, is a true classic of the era and the genre. It's a true memory of what used to be, as opposed to modern anime, and it really shows just what anime used to be. It's exciting and beautifully animated, and when you see the hero striking a pose before shooting lightning bolts from his hands...you know INSTANTLY where it came from. This isn't a spoiler, but unlike some other "screaming and shooting lasers" anime like DBZ, when Baoh roars it sounds less like a roar and more like a man in an echoing room howling! Absolute classic. 90s anime-cool designs and great fight scenes, especially the English Dub. Ah, the memories...
