Older Anime Apprieciation Thread

[Azure Vermillion]

Lets hope I can get some input from some older member and some fellow Australians.

Alrighty I'd say the thread title is a little bit self explanitory but I'll ellaborate my motivations in creating it.
I grew up watching Anime on the Australian SBS channel, and basically everything I laid eyes upon was golden. While it might be some nostalgia lingering, I do indeed feel that a majority of ''today's'' anime is lacking compared to the older shows.
What I am hoping for to compile a small list of the 'gems' that were created in the last generation something like between 1989-1999. I'm also hoping to track down a few of the anime I remember watching yet can't remember the details.

I guess I'll start with the obligitory stuff - anyone who hasn't watched these series should seriously consider trying to obtain a copy.

Ghost in the Shell
Trigun
Bubblegum Crisis Toyko
Millenium Actress
Akira
Samurai X/Kenshin OVAs

Please feel free to add more to the list and discuss - I hope to see this list expanded upon

1989-1999 is not old. Not even remotely old.

Try...

Tetsuwan Atom/Astro Boy
Mach Go Go/Speed Racer
Ace wo Nerae
Rose of Versailles
Space Battleship Yamato/Starblazers
Gatchaman/Battle of the Planets
SDF Macross (the original, none of that plus, seven, zero, or frontier bullshit)
Megazone 23
Mospeada
Orgus
Southern Cross
Gundam (the original, accept no substitutions)
Touch
Miyuki
Maison Ikkoku
Kimagure Orange Road

Also Tokyo 2040 sucks. BGC original is where it's at.

It's considered old now. No use pretending we're not all getting old.
You oldie.

I remember walking into an Older Anime Appreciation club on MAL, thinking, "Whoohoo, now I can meet people who love all of the old stuff like Trigun, Millenium Actress and all that!"
Apparently they considered anything from the 90's to not be old. I never understood they're reasoning behind it. ._.

Anyways, lately I've been rewatching Trigun. Good stuff.

Why hasn't anyone mentioned Yawara!?!?!?

[Kionon]

Yawara is 1990, but I guess I'll consider it old. Maybe.

Koop, MD, Eka... GET OFF MY LAWN.

We don't consider 90s old because that would mean WE'RE old.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes

Yawara is 1990, but I guess I'll consider it old. Maybe.

The anime premiered in 1989! (one year, but hey, why not!) and the manga came out in 1986 I believe. Are you basing the oldness of an anime from the decade it was released? Because some of these titles could legally drink if they wanted to

I heard of this kawaii sugoi cartoon called Tatami Galaxy, but I think that was last season.
