To my anime-loving American friends, let me share with you some animes I grew up with during the 90s [a thread]:

Yu Yu Hakusho (aka Ghost Fighter)
>>This is one of my favorites and I was obsessed with this as a kid!! Also I used to have a huge crush on Vincent.
Rurouni Kenshin (aka Samurai X)
>> They came out with a trilogy live action for this! While I'm not a huge anime person, I do appreciate some that really gets my attention. This is also a staple to Filipinos!
Rekka no Hono (aka Flame of Recca)
>> Idk how popular this is/was but I'm pretty sure a lot of 90s kids like me watched this every weekday afternoon. It's pretty good!
Fushigi Yûgi (aka The Mysterious Play or Curious Play)
>> I used to watch this on AXN channel. For some reason, this was associated to be "steamy" or "sexual" by viewers (at least for us who were in our puberty stage lol). A lot of girls back then were going gaga over Tamahome.
Kishin Doji Zenki (aka Zenki)
>> Every 90s kid knows who Apo Jukai is. That's the Filipino translation for "Ozunu Enno", one of the main characters in the show. Also, I was so into this my mom got mad at me for quoting demonic stuff from the show 😅😂
Shinseiki Evangerion (aka Neon Genesis Evangelion)
>> I never finished this but Rei Ayanami may be the first ever girl crush I had. I mean, blue short hair and very emotional being??? Sign me up lol
Bishojo Senshi Sera Mun (aka Sailor Moon)
>> I meannnnn.. I wanted to move to Japan so I can wear those short school uniforms and have a talking black cat. Classic 🌙
Chodenji Mashīn Borutesu Faibu (aka Voltes V [pronounced as "five"])
>> It's kinda like Power Rangers where there's 5 main characters and then they "volt in" to form this massive robot to fight a monster
Tosho Daimos (aka Daimos)
>> Similar to Voltes V, this animated series also have a robot but this show, if my memory serves me correctly, has deeper emotions and drama
Rupan Sansei (aka Lupin III or Lupin the Third)
>> one of my favorites! It's basically a story about a master thief and his adventures. It's really funny!
Ranma Nibun-no-Ichi (aka Ranma 1/2 [one half])
>> this one is a cute anime! It's about a teenage boy who was cursed to turn into a girl when splashed with cold water. Hot water changes him back. Haha
Dragon Ball Z
>> Everybody knows this. I know some of the characters but I didn't really watch it per se.
Akazukin Chacha
>> this is a red riding hood type of series where the main character transforms into this heroine that saves the day.
Kādokyaputā Sakura (aka Cardcaptor Sakura)
>> a story about a student who discovers magical powers that involves cards
Arupusu no Shojo Haiji (aka Heidi, Girl of the Alps)
>> this falls more on just drama and life. No super powers or heroes. But a real tearjerker. I miss Lolo Alps 😢
Shokoshi Sedi (Little Lord Fauntleroy/ Little Prince Cedie/ Cedie)
>> Another drama-centered Japanese animated series about a young boy who became the sole heir to a rich ass family but has a heart of gold. They even made a film adaptation in the Philippines
Purinsesu Sēra (aka Princess Sarah)
>> Just like Cedie, another story about a young wealthy girl who tragically lost her father in a mining accident & was treated very poorly by the boarding school mistress when they thought she is now poor. Miss Minchin is a bitch.
