Best old school Anime / Manga which still holds up well if not perfectly today?

Ah, myself, I still sit down and re-watch Tenchi Miyo from time to time.
The character dynamics and story are like a finely woven tapestry. Full of mystery and chaos.

Some people I grew up with, who watched it, were more into the constant yelling of Dragon Ball

<shakes head> Brurururu

Don’t get me wrong, I like Dragon Ball, yes, but I always found myself more interested in Tenchi.
Of all the characters, I found myself liking Mihoshi the most.
Not from some odd waifu crush, we didn't call them that. I just felt sorry for the poor girl.

I always thought Kiyone was a FILTHY GOBLIN!!!! Though, she was awful to that poor little blonde girl... goblins are mean, awful... do horrible things to elf girls... make them eat goblin cheese...
<shakes head> Brurururur...

...goblins...
 
Old school? uhhhh damn I guess GTO. The manga is easily an 11/10 for me. The anime is great too but when they reneged on the message from the manga that soured it a bit for me.
Onizuka turning that class into a new generation of respectable adults through his unorthodox ways, earnestness, and the obstacles they go through is just a solid wholesome experience.

Granted in the beginning he was deadset on smashing a student but that sputters out pretty early and a knee slapping comedy full of warmth, hijinks, and absurdity is waiting for you to experience it.
other honorable mentions:
Samurai Champloo
Mobile Suit Gundam
G gundam
Macross Plus: The movie
Mysterious Girlfriend X
M.A.R
Eyeshield 21
 
I don't really count it as old skool as it came out post 2000s, but I gotta show some love for Cromartie High. Rewatching it right now and I find it as funny as when I first watched it, over 10 years ago.
Gotta love Freddie

i got into gundam a few months ago and i believe 0079 still holds up pretty well. im talking about the anime i didnt watch the movies im a grown man i can watch the whole 43 episodes idgaf.
if you want something that's not as old, 0083 startudst memory is REALLY good as a war drama imo plus the animation is great.


i actually enjoyed 0079 better than gundam zz and maybe even gundam z but idk i think z was really good too i think its a fair fight.
