AKA Anime I knew before I knew what anime was

A personal curation of anime from the 1990s to the early 2000s that shaped the medium. These aren’t every classic, but they’re titles I consider essential—whether they defined genres, set new storytelling standards, or left a lasting impact on fans and creators alike. Each anime includes a short description highlighting why it matters. My choices are subjective, meant to capture the era’s spirit and influence rather than create a definitive canon.

Purpose: Celebrate the shows that made the era memorable. From mecha and shounen action to magical girls, psychological thrillers, and cinematic films, this stack represents the anime that influenced the industry, inspired audiences, and defined a generation. Scores and impressions are contextual, reflecting personal experience and the show’s place in its time.
