Older anime recommendations?

Postby macchinainterna » Wed Apr 28, 2010 8:54 am

It's that time again where I cannot for the life of me find an anime that interests me. A lot of the newer series just don't appeal to me at all, or have left me completely disappointed. But I feel like this is an opportunity to catch up on some classic series I missed out on.

So I'm wondering what older animes some of you would recommend for me (I'm mainly looking for shows from between 1995 - 2005). I'm mostly looking for either action/adventure, mystery, comedy, or total mindfuck.

I am currently looking into - Samurai 7, Rurouni Kenshin (and Samurai X), Madlax, and The Twelve Kingdoms.

Thanks in advance!

Martian Successor Nadesico
Irresponsible Captain Tylor
Noir (better than Madlax IMO)
Evangelion
Samurai 7 is pretty good times
Cowboy Bebop obviously
Trigun obviously

I think Pani Poni Dash was 2005...
RahXephon
Yu-Yu-Hakusho
Descendants of Darkness

Higurashi no naku koro ni was made in 2006, but yeah, good mystery/horror if you haven't seen it

Seen Trigun, Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop. Was planning on looking into Noir after I finished Madlax (Grabbed Madlax over Noir, only because it was the cheaper set)

Adding Nadesico and Captain Tylor to the list. Thanks! ^^

Saw a little bit of Crest of the Stars on TechTV, back when it was still TechTV. Couldn't get passed the dub, but I could try it subtitled. Thanks, Kio
