Older anime titles, from the 80's back. What the actual amount of time that has to expire must be is unknown to me, but as a rule of thumb, a title should at least be 10-years old. Lupin III is an example of a classic title.
Action: Lots of shooting, explosions, and the like. Contains subcategories of more specific types such as Gun-Action, Martial Arts, and Swordplay; see also: Fighting.
