Yes, retro anime is great and has its unique, awesome charm. Especially shows from 1980s and 1990s. I like to re-watch retro anime once in a while, or check out the titles I haven't seen yet that look cool enough for me to give them a try.

I was Kickstarted into Anime Fandom to begin with, long ago...
by a Series that actually came out the very year i was Born; SUPERDIMENSIONAL FORTRESS MACROSS (1982/1983)





My Very First "Proto-Moe" Waifu-Oriented Series...
the one the actually got me to look outside my singular Mecha-obesssion at the time, and truly Take Notice of all the Lovely Hunnies abound,
was Galaxy Fraulein Yuna (1995/1997)

Older anime were more hand drawn than using digital means, so they had a real unique charm to them. Grown up in Asia watching dubbed 80s-90s anime was a nice way of remembering my childhood. So many anime that hardly anyone know of.

Madou King Granzort
Chuuka Ichiban!
Bakusou Kyoudai Let's & Go
Wanwan Sanjuushi!!
Chou Tokkyuu Hikarian
Yadamon
Yoroiden Samurai Troopers
Sailor Moon
Digimon Adventure 01 and 02

Some of these I probably missed many episodes during the initial airing in dubbed version but I'm pretty sure I watched the finale at some stage. Only Digimon Adventure 01 and 02 I definitely remember finished everything.

Akira is from 1989 btw. As for 90s anime you can try Cyber City Oedo, Gunnm, Black Jack, Memories, Shin Cutey Honey, Lodoss-tou Senki, Excel Saga, Golden Boy, Trigun, Outlaw Star and Macross Plus.

Back then, animators poured their passion into every frame, taking years to craft something extraordinary. It wasn’t about rushing to meet deadlines or making quick cash grabs, it was about creating something truly memorable.

@OPperson No one seems to have mentioned any movies, other than Akira, which definitely is must see.
Anything by Miyazaki-san made before Ponyo. Even the stuff from the 2000's is done in the 90s aesthetic,
Satoshi Kon's movies are also wonderful, and edgier than Miyazaki's work.
Grave of the Fireflies is phenominal, but make sure you have a big box of tissues for that ending!

@joemaamah both Trigun and Outlaw Star came out in 1998 even. And can you tell me a bit about them including Excel Saga? I've also seen how people compare the other two to Cowboy Bebop (also 1998) which i loved.
