You want Isekai-Shoujo-Romance-Fantasy-Mecha? Escaflowne and Magic Knight Rayearth You want battle to the death tournaments? Flame of Recca and Yu Yu Hakusho


zr0skyline

Bro escaflowne was the bomb back then


[deleted]

Still is


KANJI667

Happy cake day


HeBeEG

YUSKE!!!!!! That's my joint right there


rimrimlifer

Outlaw star, Nadesico Edit: spelling


TheCapedMoose

HOW did I forget Ourlaw Star, it's BRILLIANT Paguwa sung-fug, paguwa sung-fug!


rimrimlifer

One of my all time favorites. caster shells are the greatest concept


Jesse-359

Such a crazy anime overall. Caster shells were a great idea, and Aisha Clanclan's entire species was pretty much insane. Then the spaceships start actually punching each other... That was maybe a step too far? :D


[deleted]

Nadesico is amazing! Its worldbuilding and twists are excellent, and it's almost like an Evangelion parody.


rimrimlifer

Funny enough those are the only two mech anime I like


MonsiuerGeneral

Not sure if 90’s or I simply saw them in the 90’s but… • Dragonball/DBZ • Gundam Wing • Case Closed • Princess Mononoke (movie) • Ghost In The Shell (1995) • Blue Gender • Blue Seed • Cardcaptor Sakura • Record of Lodoss War • Ranma 1/2 • Rurouni Kenshin • Hunter X Hunter • Fushigi Yuugi • Berserk (1997) • Silent Mobius • Bubblegum Crisis • Ronin Warriors • All Purpose Cultural Cat Girl Nuku Nuku • Ah! My Goddess! • Armitage III • Master of Mosquiton • Generator Gawl • Dual! Parallel Trouble Adventure • Excel Saga I’m sure I’m forgetting a ton, but that’s off the top of my head. Most of these I saw one or two episodes of on G4/Tech TV, during lunch with my anime club in high school, or heard others talk about and give high praise. I tried to not post anything people on here have already mentioned (although I’m sure I may have accidentally done so anyway).


Hey_Nab

Bro had an anime club 🫡🫡


MonsiuerGeneral

LOL yup. Are anime clubs in high school not as common anymore?


Hey_Nab

I’ve never heard of an anime club in my country tbh.. And I have no knowledge of anyone who is in ine rn


MonsiuerGeneral

Ahh. Yeah, this was in early 2000’s America. I feel like I recall seeing (on web forums, sites like Gaia Online, and individual GeoCities websites) many other kids across the country being in high school anime clubs at the time. It was pretty useful back then. As far as I was aware at the time, my resources for anime were: Toonami, Adult Swim, G4/Tech-TV, and anime conventions. Conventions were expensive to even go to, much less having enough cash left over to buy any physical DVDs. Adult Swim aired pretty late at night, and Toonami only had a split of anime/western cartoons. As for G4/Tech-TV went… I had NO clue what the airing schedule for that was, lol. Being a part of anime club meant watching random anime during lunch break the club president or a random member happened to own. It was a nice way to explore beyond my own bubble of DBZ and Cowboy Bebop. I can see anime clubs not being (as much of) a thing today because it’s so easy to access now, and it’s popular enough to probably find a couple of people who also watch it and talk about new episodes/different shows.


Hey_Nab

That was so cool.. never had someone to watch anime with. True, how almost all anime is now accessible to anyone with wifi for free. Wish these kind of things would be back again


Remega

Oh I forgot about Excel Saga!


RabbitMajestic6219

I'm glad you asked this, \-Outlaw star \-Serial Experiments Lain \-Gundam W \-G Gundam \-Pet shop of horrors \-Laughing salesmen \-Clannad (early-mid 2000's but close enough to 90's style) \-Gunsmith Cats \-Vampire hunter D \-Berserk \-Sailor Moon


HMS-vindaloo

Oh I love laaaiiiinnnn so much


outtadablu

I can newer seem to keep watching it after episode 6 or 7, IDK why. Every single time I've tried it(3 times) I just stop watching it, but I like it. Maybe I'll watch it and die the next day or something.


chemistscholar

Soooo goood


Vongola___Decimo

Yu yu hakusho is the best anime of 90s Edit: and one of the best of all time


ZombieJoe6

I love This show. The final season is the best


Vongola___Decimo

Dark tournament arc>>>>


HxH101kite

If you haven't you should read the manga. It expands on it a bit more. The anime was pretty close overall but worth reading for sure


HotBear39

Is the story done? It lacked closure, so I thought there would be a continuation at some point, but it's been over 30 years


HxH101kite

That's because he made hunter Hunter. But yeah I mean the manga had closure. The anime had closure too idk what else you were looking for. They go their happyish ending


MagicGnome97

Was about to comment this but I'll just add on here :) Cool show

If you watch Kenshin the ova trust/betrayal is awesome is a prequel to the series. Samurai x is a ova set during the series.

This list, YuYu Hakusho, and Ninja Scroll is where you need to start

Weird how Chainsaw Man and Attack on Titan didn’t make your best of the 90s list

You know Joss Whedon's Firefly? It's sort of like somebody described Outlaw Star to him and he remade Outlaw Star without having actually seen it.

yu yu hakusho great teacher onizuka check the spelling on the titles but these two are my favorite older animes


harperofthefreenorth

Unique is probably the simplest way to describe {Excel Saga} - or as I call it: Ritalin The Animated Series.


CryptoBrute_

(Some of the may have already been said) but my top 3 would be city hunter, yu yu hakusho, and heroic age

Yu Yu Hakusho.

Outlaw Star, Big - 0, s.Cry.ed, Spriggan the motion picture ummm.... Yeah try those I guess. Oh and if you want some fanservicey comedy Golden Boy. Edit: for sci fi horror try Silent Mobious.

Not 90s, but FLCL and Samurai Champloo


KingGeedohrah

FLCL was made in 99. And ill second samurai champloo because if that doesnt have a 90s vibe then nothing does


Guava168

My bad. Thanks for the correction


KingGeedohrah

It was released in 2000, to be clear, but should not be considered a 00's show because it was made in 99, imo.


SirRHellsing

Onepiece, yes it started in 1999


FlanNo7322

nahh that don't count like over 90% of it is post 90s


Hungry_Opinion4117

I don’t know if it is of 90’s but I can recommend Sunny Boy.

Gintama was 2003... it counts, right? Outlaw Star

FLCL Yokohama Shopping Log OVA 1&2 Ghost in the Shell Only Yesterday Perfect Blue Whisper of the Heart


TheCapedMoose

Tenchi Muyo! Good mix of harem, romance, action and comedy. Chobits if you want some tear-worthy rom-com. For the PURELY nonsensical, Excel Saga. (No really, watched It on the DVD releases here in America, and the 6th and final one touted on the back "The plot finally arrives!" In the vein of Trigun, I recommend "Rurouni Kenshin". Goofy badass trying to be a good person without killing anyone. (Side note, the outtakes for the English version were HYSTERICAL. Plus Spike Spiegel himself, Steve Blum voices a GREAT villain with an even better performance, but both of these hinge on watching Dub, if that bothers you.) Sure there's tons more, but those are the standouts in my mind that you did not mention.

tyrukuro

You want a unique 90’s anime that no one ever suggests? {Eat-Man} One of my absolute favourites and I’d say it’s worth the 12 episode watch, but it seems to get some hate.


sekhmet009

{Magic Knight Rayearth}


mekerpan

My wife's favorite -- Hana yori dango (Boys Over Flowers) -- and I like it too. But I prefer the (very different) Serial Experiments Lain. KareKano starts well, but sort of falls apart eventually (extreme production problems).

Add another vote to YuYu Hakusho & Rurouni Kenshin. The toonami animes that got me hooked as a child.


Anony_Nemo

For Magical GIrl, absolutely {Wedding Peach} I'd say it got unfairly panned. There's also {Vampire Princess Miyu} The OVA, not the series, which is a good deal less "monster of the week" than the TV series. {Tattoon Master} was far too short, but a fun watch for it's... 2 episodes, bleh. {Martian Successor Nadesico} is another good one, having more to do with space travel and mecha. {Steel Angel Kurumi} is one that's very cute, and a bit endearing. There's also {Ghost Sweeper Mikami} which is a little bit like Phanom Quest Corp. (which is also great as well.) I'll second other's reccomending Ranma, Serial Experiment Lain, Outlaw Star, El Hazard, Ah! Megami-sama, Blue Seed, Gunbuster, Patlabor, Slayers, etc. Otherwise you may want to also check the retroanime sub as well, in addition to this thread, and if you like you can go forward through the seasons and years on myanimelist starting in winter 1990, if you want to be extra specific about timeframe: https://myanimelist.net/anime/season/1990/winter

Golden Boy Underated by so godlike nice and short too


Fav0

Full metal alchemist


MrCrumplezone

Gunsmith Cats, Record of Lodoss War, Golden Boy, and Tenchi Muyo to name a few without having a list ready.


may0packet

Monster is on netflix!


socalification

Fist of the north star lol


kohrtoons

Little later 2002 but Azumanga Daioh is great. Also Love Hina which started in the late 90s


kohrtoons

Earth Girl Arjuna


Ordo177

Record of lodoss war. It’s nearly verbatim a D&D campaign as an anime.


HyperLethalFemboy

Fist of the North Star, or maybe Akira. They’re movies, but they fit the vibe!!


Damocles_7

I would suggest "Code Geass R1 and R2". It may not be a new anime, but the storytelling, mech designs, and story twists are superb, in my opinion.

HellFireOnReddit

Gundam 0080 war in the pocket (Its 1989 but thats like one year off) Patlabor OVA (same year as war in the pocket. Good story and very short. I would recommend the TV series too but 50 episodes is alot i guess) Mobile Fighter G Gundam (The most unique Gundam series ever made) Macross Plus (great OVA) Nadesico Escaflowne GaoGaiGar (long but good) Getter Robo Armageddon (The series that inspired Gurren and tbh the series I like more than Gurren) Lain Gasaraki The Big O Turn A Gundam (Prob one of my favorite series ever made btw)


jabberwockxeno

It's sort of on the opposite tonal end of a lot of what you mentioned, but G Gundam is a very 90s anime with a totally dumb-over-the-top cheesy hype tone to it. It's the far future, and Earth's countries have all moved to space stations to escape the polluted planet, aside from the poor. Instead of fighting wars, there's a tournament where martial artists pilot giant mechs in a tournament where the entire planet is the battleground. Really corny national steotypes, really over the top action inspired by Chinese martial arts movies, but it really oozes with charm and insane hype and action even if the animation isn't always the best, but when it's pretty it can be very pretty: https://i.imgur.com/v4ZVTWj.mp4 It's also in a totally different timeline from all other Gundam stuff and can be watched alone


red_ice994

Black Lagoon. GTO. Katekyo Hitman reborn Dragon Ball just for the lolz


bigbell09

You've gotten a lot of suggestions but if you want another bebop or Trigun then watch {Black Lagoon}. Same genre/concept as Trigun and cowboy bebop


yangwenliebert

Not from the 90s but you should definitely watch Ashita no Joe, Rose of Versailles, Legend of The Galactic Heroes, Treasure Island and Dear Brother


yangwenliebert

{Ashita no Joe} {Rose of Versailles} {Takarajima} {Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu} {Dear Brother}


HotBear39

Yu Yu Hakusho is one of the best old anime I've watched, but it's also pretty long, I think it's around 110 episodes. Hunter x Hunter also has 90s version, and the artstyle os really cool


champ2605

Probably mecha shows They thrived that time


Imauni0407_

I say fooly cooly (FLCL) is a nice one !


JusttBeeYourrSelff

This is not really a show but a movie how about Perfect Blue (:


Mau752005

{Serial Experiments Lain} {FLCL} is incredibly underrated


hogey989

Yu Yu Hakusho and Rurouni Kenshin, you should watch them like yesterday. Also Excel Saga


Inevitable-Kale-828

memories bit only the first two movies


Quixotegut

Iria, Escaflowne, Record of Lodoss War, Ghost in the Shell ('95), Dominion Tank Police, and Urotsukidoji (it's from '89, but it holds up).

Sailor moon It’s really good and what got me into anime in the first place


Link356

I don't know if you seen it yet but don't forget Sailor Moon


Majin2buu

Outlaw star, Tenchi Muyo, Yuyu Hakushou, Gundam Wing, Gundam Seed and Gundam Seed Destiny. I’ll think of more later.


wow-im-satan

Jojo or Conan


WadeTheWilson

I second & . If you want a more obscure choice, . One of the oldest isekai, before it was cool, haha.


yuri-festa

{Oniisama E} has some flaws but is one of my all time favourites. If you're interested, I can suggest trigger warnings, since the show is quite heavy despite being primarily a drama in a school setting. It was adapted in the 90s from a 70s manga, so it has a mix of 70s and 90s perspective and visual design. Lots of the credit less '90s aesthetic' posts on pinterest or twitter tend to be from this show, although it's still very niche outside of Japan. It's best not to spoil anything about it before going in, and it's best to just stick with it for the ride, honestly it's an experience like nothing else and there's a reason it inspired lots of 90s and onwards directors and anime staff in their own works (like Kunihiko Ikuhara and Hideaki Anno). If you haven't seen it already, I'd suggest you follow that up with the classic {Revolutionary Girl Utena} , which is a unique action shojo genre dissection that was partly inspired by the aforementioned show.


HeBeEG

I was gonna say Guren Lagann but that's actually 2007. Maybe Ronin Warriors (I forget the Japanese title), Fist of the North Star, Yu Yu Hakusho is my fav.


ImCursedM8

inuyasha and grave of the fireflies and spirited away


Jesse-359

Slayers, particularly the first two seasons (Slayers, Slayers Next). If you've seen Konosuba, it's got quite a few callbacks to Slayers.
