| R.O.D Read or Die, from 2001, is one of my favorites and used to get mentioned fairly often but gradually less more recently. It has a sequel, R.O.D the TV, which is also pretty good if not quite as much so as the original, but as a 2003 release it's not quite outside the 20 year old window the OP had requested. |

| There's a neat 2 episode OVA called Otaku no Video which parodies Gainax's founding & provides some interviews with weebs back in the 80's/90's which I think is really cool. Doesn't get talked about at all. |

therefore-I-AM said: I am looking forward to watching the newer version of Spriggan. What are your thoughts on the modern version of the series? Do you strongly recommend watching the old version? Since you've just recommended Akira, you might enjoy the Spriggan movie as well. There are a lot of similarities for better or worse, including the insane animation and poor story structure. I've heard the original movie was a mix of various ideas taken from the source material, mixed together. Spriggan didn't aim to adapt the entire manga however, and it doesn't want to be more than a 90s action movie with some supernatural elements. I feel netflix is trying to ride the fame of the movie, but they're missing the point since it will be full cg. If you want a more complete story wait for the netflix one, but I think the movie is worth experiencing. |

Slimsith said: ColourWheel said: Ultimately I think Every Anime Fan should watch "Robot Carnival" at least once in their life so they can understand the beauty of traditional anime at its best before studios stopped using Cels. Robot Carnival is a musical masterpiece, with perfect animation to go alongside the visuals, the short stories and the theme of robots used. To this day, there's been nothing like it and remains one of my favorites, it just sucks that the video quality on "Uknow" sites is really low. I still wish I had the VHS copy. Anyway, people should check out The Guyver and the manga is still ongoing, but MAL won't tell you that. The Guyver  https://myanimelist.net/anime/6016/Kyoushoku_Soukou_Guyver_1989 and  https://myanimelist.net/anime/1336/Kyoushoku_Soukou_Guyver_II Just the OVA's from 1989-1991 It's your 1 man army versus a monster making corporation. The 2005 TV series granted is the same, but the OVA's had art closer to the manga. It's nothing special except that the it's better than the TV series which got only a small bit further than the OVA's. Anyway, that's my annoying contribution. Guyver design looks amazing.

It's not for everyone, but the nostalgic SoL elements always feel cathartic to me. It's from the same person who made Texhnolyze who it might have the sad feels in the end. Unlike Texhnolyze, Haibane Renmei is good. The only similarity is the art. |

| From all the old anime I've seen so far, I'd say Perfect Blue, Akira, and the berserk 1997. I know these three are popular but I think they need more attention. |
almightybismarck said: Galaxy Express 999 is something I have high expectation on. Yes!! It is my all time favorite anime series. The leijiverse in general is amazing. All of his works are loved in Japan but out here it isn't really the same which I understand since casual anime watchers arent going to look at old anime for fun etc but its the best decision i ever made. i originally watched it out of curiosity and now im still a hardcore fan :) |

I TRY to keep it real. I left out about 30 other titles, but that's what generally comes to mind right off the bat. Bloody shame that the modern anime fan (Usually) can't be arsed to watch anything that far back anymore, but in mid age I'm watching modern stuff as well as re-watching the old stuff and even watching a lot of old stuff for the first time I just couldn't get my hands on in a lot of cases. I mean heck, it took me until 2022 to get my hands on a properly English Subtitled box set of GRENDIZER, as all that had been available most of my life was the chopped up 26 episode "Grandizer" of Force Five.
