What is objectively the best pre-2000s anime? Was that anime actually your favorite back then? Why/why not?

I've had a bit of fun watching slayers recently. Dubbed though no apologies.
Katsudo shashin
la blue girl
Madoka
Dragon Ball Z easily in the 90s due to spending each month purchasing the Funimation tapes to find out what happens next all the way til the end of Buu Saga.
Only got into a few of the episodes of GT but dropped it because I realized they skipped the first 3rd of the series to get to the more serious plotlines.
>>161052689
Fate/stay night. It counts because the universe it is in was created in 1998 (Kara no Kyoukai books).
>>161052689
>objectively
>>161052689
NGE definitely. My favorite at the time was Pokemon though.
Big O first aired in 1999 so thats my vote.
Ranma
Ranma
>>161052689
Urusei yatsura is pretty based as far as being genuinely engaging on a personal level (plus those 2 episodes of british dub are absolute gold)
Ruroni kenshin is some nice proto edgelord shonen
>>161052689
legend of the galactic heroes, followed by dragon ball (main series) and Trigun.
and if we are talking about movies, perfect blue, followed by ghost in the shell and ninja scroll
>>161052689
Urusei
Oniisama E

I still don't understand why Toei doesn't hire better animators for Dragon Ball Super.
I want to see blood and better fight choreography.
>>161052689
Anime has always been trash.
>>161052689
What's "objectively" the best as far as what the Japanese in general actually tuned into seems to be stuff like Dragon Ball, Detective Conan, Urusei Yatsura, and so on.
>>161052925
For real?

He is using earned money to hire teenage girls from Thailand to satisfy his sexual needs and asking untalented Saibamans to draw for him.
>>161052689
I just realized that before Super and GT, the last time the Pilaf Gang ever showed up was when they were launched off the ship by King Piccolo. It always that was the turning point for the actual series, like how people use Z as the line of demarcation to show that the series is not about panty jokes anymore and is more about fighting. Granted the tournament arcs didn't have the pilaf gang, and the Red Ribbon arc had Tao who was the first really evil villain, but the Pilaf Gang was always there to provide the series a bit of levity and act like the Team Rocket. It's just really weird that they're so unceremoniously written off of after that, I find that even weirder than Launch being written off the series actually.
i grew up watching dbz but my favorite is fist of the north star
Horus Prince of the Sun and no because that was before my time and not very popular
>>161052755
Nice dubs, and the dub of Slayers is good.
>>161052689

>perfect blue

EVA, not joking, love those utility poles.

DBZ up til Frieza saga
>>161052689
Pic related.
On a side note, I recently began watching Urusei Yatsura. At first I thought it wasn't that great but decided to keep going for the hell of it and so far it's gotten better. Honestly, it even seems kind of redpilled in some ways.
>>161065936
Also, I forgot to add pic related. THIS one is gold.
>>161052689
You are all kidding yourselves. Best is pic related because every reason - casting, story, quirks, music, action, etc
>>161066071
Only one close is the guy I forgot to Czech >>161065999
You forgot this.
Not the best but you know what's underrated?
Now and Then, Here and There
I would honestly love to see a remake of it and it would probably get the love it deserves in the age of information.
>>161066071
I wasn't a huge fan of the ending. Or rather, Spike's choices that lead to it made it seem like he had learned nothing.
There's only one true answer.
>>161066071
i hated how little story episodes there were, we should of got a few episodes with spike and viscous working together instead of some black and white flashbacks
>>161055802
what about akira? and you have a good taste in movies, whats perfect blue about?
>>161052689
>objectively
Can we even agree on a criteria for what's best?
Really liked Yu Yu Hakusho up until the end of the dark tournament arc.
After that was ok but you wouldn't be missing much if you stopped
Cowboy Bebop, FOTNS and Berserk
>Nobody says Lupin
???
>>161052689
My favorite was Slayers. Too fun
>>161052689
Cowboy bebop you fucking nerd.
>>161067431
There's a lot of folks on /a/ right now that have never seen anything Lupin III.
>>161069616
>>161067431
There's still Lupin new series coming out even now. There's even a live action movie. I think people maybe forget the series that were running back then.
Either way, The Woman Named Fujiko Mine was amazing even if it's offtopic for this thread since it only came out a few years ago.

Whats there to not understand? They put in minimum effort and it's still extremely popular.
>>161069863
I was talking specifically about /a/ though. Naturally, things are different outside of this bubble.
