I’m talking like, Bubblegum Crisis, an Anime that I am somehow aware of but have never watched.

I’ve seen bits and peaces of the stuff that was airing here in the 2000 like; Dragonball, Dragonball Z, Sailor Moon, Big O, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, Inuyasha, Full Metal Alchemist, Ranma 1/2, Gundam Wing. I have not even begun to touch 1 Peace. Basically, if it was on Toonami, I’ve probably seen some of it.

I feel like there is stuff from the late 80s through the 90s that were popular through the import scenes that I probably never heard of, that everyone who is in that scene knows and loves.

    Some older stuff that I didn’t see mentioned (and bulletpoints since everyone’s being so neat):

    Metal Skin Panic MADOX-01

    • A comedy about a schmuck trying to visit his girlfriend who accidentally gets stuck inside a suit of power armour. The suit design was blatantly ripped off by the rpg game RIFTS (among others).

    Cyber City Oedo 808

    • Three short cyberpunk films about some badass prisoners too goddamn cool to stay in space prison, given bomb collars, and suicide missions. Great intro theme. Perfect Shadowun inspiration.

    The Big O

    • Batman with a Giant Robot, basically, but gets rather bizarre later. In a domed post-post-apocalyptic city where everyone lost their memories 40 years ago, Bruce Wayne works as a high-stakes negotiator and moonlights as the pilot of a giant robot to punch the unusually large number of rogue giant robots that keep getting dug up (and seems to single-handedly keep the construction industry afloat with the pretty realistically massive damage the fights do to the scenery).

    Newer Stuff:

    Land of the Lustrous

    • I always recommend this. A post-post-post-post-apocalypse earth produces three successor races to humanity. One of those is a kind of animate gemstone coral, immortal, androgynous, photosynthetic, and hunted to make into jewellery by cruel things from the moon. One day the youngest, with a fragile body, decides that they want to change.
