Over in Fireminer's thread about "prominent figures in early anime fandom" I mentioned that the C/FO Magazines of the early to mid 1980s might be a good place to see who was active. Here are some pages from C/FO Magazine volume 2 issue 3, published in the fall of 1983. Ann Nichols had just been elected President after Fred Patten stepped down, there are some interesting comments in the letters pages about the new look of the magazine and what exactly the focus of the C/FO should be, and there are some C/FO Chapter roundups that detail what was being shown at each chapter.
The Chapter Screening Roundups go show by show and there are abbreviations detailing what was screened where. There are six pages of this so I haven't scanned them all, but the anime series being watched at C/FO meetings in 1983 were: Acrobunch, Amazing 3, Bannertail the Squirrel, Baxinger, Bryger, Captain Harlock, Gatchaman II, Gatchaman F, God Mars, Gold Lightan, Golion, Great Mazinger, Gundam, Kimba The White Lion, King Arthur, Go Leo (in French), Lupin III, Macross, Muteking, Patarillo, Raideen, Rainbowman, Robotan, Srungle, SSX, Star Blazers, Technovoyager, Tetsujin-28 (1980), Tetsuwan Atom (1980), Urashiman, Urusei Yatsura, Votoms, Xabungle, Yamato III, Yatodetoman, Yattaman, and Zanbot 3.
Features included Adieu GE 999, Andromeda Stories, Be Forever Yamato, Lupin III Castle Of Cagliostro, Cyborg 009 (1966), Dr Slump Great Space Adventure, Galaxy Express 999 (dubbed), Gatchaman, Harmagedon, Heavy Metal, I Am A Cat, I Go Pogo, Jungle Emperor, Phoenix 2772 in Japanese and English-dubbed, Pinocchio In Outer Space, The Secret Of N.I.M.H., Starbirds (dubbed Daimos), The Talking Parcel, and Winds Of Change.
