I like that the guy who tortures his kids and keeps his daughter in indefinite solitary confinement is not the worst dad in HxH

Technically its training and its the brothers who are more into it.  The daughter is pretty dangerous... but you could say poor parenting cause they don't really try.

On that note, what are some 80s anime worth watching?

Any specific genre in mind? The 80s were the golden age of mecha anime.

Doesn't matter what genre, beyond preferring not romantic comedies.

Trailer for Chaos Dragon is out. I'm a bit concerned that they might have modified Swallow's curse, but oh well, too soon to judge. Also the cgi makes the dragon look like a digimon.

Well, there's always Fist of the North Star, the inspiration for all super-violent kung-fu animes.  Honestly it's not "super" super violent since there's some censoring on Crunchyroll.  Still, it is pretty damn epic; the story isn't half-bad either, but it isn't amazing.

I am astonished the Knight Gundam is so popular.

I mean... He wasn't even the main character or secondary main character... he was the fourth most important character in the show that spawned him.

Trying to work something out about the Hellsing series.

Do Hellsing vampires need blood to survive? We see Seras months after being turned into a vampire having drunk only a single drop of blood with apparently no negative effects. After she drinks Pip's blood, it's highly suggested that she hasn't drunk anyone else's blood in the 20 years that Alucard is non-existent.

The evidence suggests that they do not - Seras drank blood exactly once that we know of, and the effect of every blood-drinking we see is to allow the vampire to absorb the victim's soul. So far as we see, Seras has only one -freely given- soul within her, whereas Alucard had a massive army of them (until he ate Schrodinger). The purpose of blood-drinking seems to be to gain more power, recover from injury, and pleasure rather than sustenance.

Are you ralking about Zero the Winged Knight, or the original Knight Gundam? The original comes from a 90s video game series and is the one that tends to be featured in stuff like this

Zero the Winged Knight

People told me that Zero was the Knight Gundam... and they have the same abilities.

Wasn't there one point where Seras drank some of Integra's blood? Not very much, of course, but I seem to remember reading about that.

Zero the Winged Knight

People told me that Zero was the Knight Gundam... and they have the same abilities.

Nope, Zero's based off the Wing Zero while Knight Gundam is loosely inspired by the RX-78-2. Their powers have the same theme since they're knights, but they're not quite the same. The Knight Gundam has a wider range of weaponry for one thing while Zero uses magic more. Most notably Zero's upgraded form gives him the Wing Zero Custom's angel wings while the Knight Gundam's power up form is based off the FA-78 Full Armor Gundam. The confusion probably comes from how the world Zero came from was directly based off the one Knight Gundam is from to the point of having the same name.

This is confusing since... the show ALREADY has a "Wing Zero" Gundam... and a Shogun Gundam.

[Furtuka]

If you're talking about the Feather dragon according to the wiki Zero fuses with it to become the Zero Custom.

For funfact, Captain Gundam was based off the GP-01 Zephyranthes and Bakunetsumaru was a musha version of the Shining Gundam.

Literally a single drop of blood. That's nowhere near enough to sustain a vampire assuming vampires needed blood for sustenance.
