Recently I have taken an interest in older anime. While I know they are legendary for good reason I'm not quite ready to tackle Gundam or Macross yet. I do plan to watch Galaxy Express as well but for right now I'm more into OVAs or 24 or less episodes. But If you think of a few longer titles that are too good to pass up feel free to share them.

Thanks!!

A few of you mentioned Gunnm so I will definitely be checking that one out. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, I've got a lot to research now.

I don't think Rose of Versailles is that known (1979-1980)

Although they are known I still recommend:
Ranma 1/2
Rurouni Kenshin
Trigun

Gunmm is really good, but incomplete. You'll need to read the manga to finish the story.

Look up "Top 25 Anime Openings (Songs) of the 80's - 2012 HD" or "Top 25 Anime Openings (Songs) of the 90's - 2012 HD" on Youtube.

You can also check out Red Jacket Lupin movies or media like "The Secret of Mamo", "Farewell to Nostradamus", "Dead or Alive", "Dragon of Doom", "The Mystery of Hemingway Papers", "Island of Assassins", "Crisis in Tokyo" or "Voyage to Danger". Speaking of movies, you can also watch "Golgo 13: The Professional". One more thing, check out some Black Jack media such as the 1996 movie or 1993 OVA series and don't forget to watch the "Ah! My Goddess" OVA series from 1993.
