Anime 1990's Anime Thread

[VampireLord1024VampireLord1024's icon]

Since I like some 1990's anime, I thought it'd be a great choice to make this forum & I'd like to mention some 1990's anime that are my favorite. I also do like the artstyle from the 1990's.

Recently, I've gone through the majority of this one. 1995. Definitely liking it, even if the format is a bit predictable.

Check out Yoshiaki Kawajiri's stuff. Peak grungy early action anime shit. It's awesome, man. Also Cowboy Bebop and Ghibli's stuff, cuz of course.

Zenki is dope for a random episodic series! I don't watch a lot of anime but I did watch this one maybe 3 years ago and liked it throughout. High energy, likeable enough cast, and the whole buddhist & shinto priests fighting demons in the modern world angle was fun. There were a few games made for this series at the time, the Game Gear game is the best one, surprisingly.

I'm only like 25 episodes in but I really love the visual style

I know you're all well-versed when it comes to absolute classics so I won't insult your intelligence with those.

Should be enough for now.

Trigun is the shit imo. I recommend Neon Genesis Evangelion. Along with Princess Mononoke. Those are great imo. Cowboy Bebop ofc. And not to mention, Sonic OVA is pretty dope. And, I have been trying some Yu Yu Hakusho recently. That's been fun.

 

[RageBurner]

Not sure if you're counting OVAs, but I like Bubblegum Crisis, A.D Police and Ghost in the Shell a lot.

A most of the obligatory big hits I like like HxH and YYH (and Berserk, obviously) have already been mentioned.

Also a minor mention to Shurato, since it it had cool armor designs and offered a window into Hindu deities and culture, even if the fights are predictable and formulaic.

 

[Zooey]

I never meet anyone who likes or watched Excel Saga. Whenever i meet an anime fan, they're either born in the 2000's and only know post 2010 anime, OR they're my age, but the only anime they watched was mainstream stuff like DBZ or Bleach. So its like i can never meet anyone who knows something like Excel Saga (or Gunsmith Cats), im sure they exist though.

I actually have watched Princess Mononoke once, a bit of Cowboy Bebop as well as Yu Yu Hakusho in the early 2000's. I also watched the Sonic OVA once and never watched Neon Genesis Evangelion before.

Duuude Kare Kano is so good, I'm just upset they took the anime in a 'less dark' direction.

Poor Pedro. he just wanted to get back to his sexy wife.

 

[Aeriththeflowergirl]

I think Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball Z was my first exposure to anime. As a kid I wasn't really interested in most cartoons let alone Japanese ones. But as an adult I have an appreciation towards anime since it's a bit nostalgic.

 

[DanCalibur]

This one is very nostalgic, it's a shame it was left unfinished.

[Don Patch]

Ah, anime in the 90's When it was, of course illegal to draw women with pants, lol.

Lot's of my favs have already been posted so I'm gonna grab a weird one and recommend "You're Under Arrest"

One part comedy, one part drama, one part thirst, and another part wholesome.
Tis a hoot.
