| Hi all! Whats your favorite classic anime? I personally love Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell, but i don't think they can be called a classic by now. So there's just one of my three favorite animes left: Bubblegum Crisis also known as Bubblegum Crisis 2032 or 2033. Best 80's Cyberpunk with well designed characters and an OST which simply rocks. If you want to take a look at this 20 years old masterpiece: Stage6 Links |

| Hey there that's a nice topic! hm, I think I like Jin-Roh, Neon Genesis Evangelion; GTO and Ghost in the Shell the most! (Sorry for that list ;)) But Akira has more of a classic status! The funny thing about this is that that Anime is older than I am! But I guess there are some more :) |
 P.S.: Join The Classics Club ;) |
| slayers |
 |
| One of my favorites is Silver Fang (Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin). I've only seen nine episodes of it so far though. It's a little older than I am, but I like most of the older style of animation that they used. |
| Let's see... Neon Genesis Evangelion Great Teacher Onizuka Samurai X: Trust and Betrayal FLCL Meh, theres a lot of them, all with diffrent genres and so hard to pick. |

| Akira - this movie has all what a good anime must to have ^^ |
 |
| favorite classics....... Neon Genesis Evangelion Berserk Cowboy Bebop The Vision Of Escaflowne Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen those are the ones from the top of my head. they also happen to be one of the few titles I've given a 10. |
    |
| Well, I wish I could see all the great classics, but it's pretty hard. Everywhere's the new stuff, from the 90s and 2000s... For now Mirai Shounen Conan is my faveourite. Night on the Galactic Railroad and Wings of Honneamise are pretty good too. |
| I would have to say my favorite classics are: Akira Cowboy Bebop Neon Genesis Evangelion Rurouni Kenshin |
| My favorite classics: Neon Genesis Evangelion Serial Experiments Lain Cowboy Bebop Ghost in the Shell which also happen to be in my overall favorites. |
 |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion Rurouni Kenshin Tsuiokuhen Ghost in the shell Crest of the star |
 |
| hmm lots of good favorites mentioned I'm gonna go with Trigun and Gungrave |
| Well, Princess Mononoke,Akira & Ghost In The Shell are definitely my favourite ^_^ There are still a lot more classics to watch,so my opinion will change with time :] |
| Serial Experiments Lain mindfuck animes are the best :3 |
     |
| Neon Genesis Evangelion |
 |
| Akira forever. There's a lot out there, but for me Akira is the best. (Specially when it's the first anime that you watched in your life, and it was the first manga too) |
 |
| How "Classic" is Classic? (in age?) Anyways, My favorites are: - Chobits - Mobile Suit Gundam (original series) - Akira - Trigun - Rurouni Kenshin: Trust & Betrayel (the prequel... Tsuihoken or something like that) - Cowboy Bebop |

| Here's my list. Make of it what you will: Akira (simply for the fact it cracked the western market and pavedthe way for all the other movies and series). Ghost in the Shell - showed what anime and CG were truly capable of when combined. Giant Robo (original series) - If you haven't seen this, then you should. This is epic storytelling. Grave of the Fireflies - Much more powerful a tale than Barefoot Gen Vampire Hunter D - a cult classic and the reason why shows like Hellsing exist, which leads me to.... Blood: The Last Vampire - anyone who's watched the making of will understand why. Ai Yori Aoshi - possibly the sweetest anime love story to date Fruits Basket - I don't think I need to explain why Cowboy Bebop - again, no explanation should be needed Dragon Half - one of the best parodies in anime history Golden Boy - and again, I shouldn't need to explain Perfect Blue - and again Wolf's Rain - and again Urusei Yatsura (Lum)/Ranma/Inu Yasha - for spawning more manga, merchandise, and fanboys and fangirls than all other anime combined. Top wo Nerae (Gunbuster) - the superior big brother to Evangelion Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou (His & Her Circumstances) - One of Hideaki Anno's finest works Voices of a Distant Star - the ONLY anime that is truly one man's work Slayers - If you haven't watched it then you've missed out Sakura Taisen (Sakura Wars) - Saturn and Dreamcast owners will have fond memories of this one. Riding Bean - The ORIGINAL cool car anime Comic Party - One of the first and best parodies of the doujinshi world Chrno Crusade - In many ways this is darker and more compelling than FMA Jungle wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu - One of the greatest parody animes ever made Trigun - another that I shouldn't have to explain Mermaids Scar/Laughing Target/Fire Tripper - part of the original Rumik World series and also the best. Now and Then, Here and There - If you haven't watched it then you've missed out The Wings of Honneamise - a classic anime movie Ah! Megami-Sama (Original OVA) - much better than the revamped series There's a few more than that, but tis late and me tired. In case anyones wondering why Evangelion isn't on the list, read my review and you'll understand why. |
| What a day! What a lovely Day! |
| Oh, forgot to mention these: Laputa My Neighbour Totoro Princess Mononoke Porco Rosso The Cat Returns Nausicaa Kiki's Delivery Service Ghibli generally makes classics..... |

| What a day! What a lovely Day! |
| Gundam Zeta of course :D And Eva, but since it was released ten years later, I must go for the ebst Gundam ever. |
 In every age, in every place, the deeds of men remain the same. |
| rurouni kenshin/ samurai x and dragonball |
"im the son of rage and love, the jesus of suburbia" |
| I haven't watched Akira all the way through yet so that's a maybe. Furi Kuri is EPIC WINZ and Hokuto no Ken/Hokuto Shinken is the best "classic" I've seen so far. |
     |
| For me it is NGE (Neon Genesis Evangelion, for those who don't know). This is the greatest anime ever. The next ones are Kare Kano, Dragonball, Slayers and many others. I liked also Cat's Eye, but I saw only 7 episodes (I don't have more, but I want| |

Hat-N-Clogs said: I would have to say my favorite classics are: Akira Cowboy Bebop Neon Genesis Evangelion Rurouni Kenshin YES SIR! mine 2 |
| For me it would be The Mysterious Cities of Gold, Akira and Porco Rosso. All three gave me a wonderful introduction to the world of anime and convinced me that there was something better than trashy American cartoons |
bigjig said: For me it would be The Mysterious Cities of Gold<-YES!!!, Akira and Porco Rosso. All three gave me a wonderful introduction to the world of anime and convinced me that there was something better than trashy American cartoons Super win post. You win 1000 internets. Can I add Meiken Jolie to that list? |
| FLCL Cowboy Bebop Neon Genesis Evangelion Princess Mononoke Trigun |
 |
| My classics....they'd have to be the first anime I watched. Patlabor, Patlabor 2, Macross Plus, and Wings of Honneamise. Cowboy Bebop, FLCL and others were favs but nothing beats the memories of watching those first 4 shows on late night cable tv for the first time. |
 |
| Macross, Record of Lodos War, Cowboy Bebop one of my favourites ever. NGE off course. hmm Love Hina maybe... In my opinion classics are best just bcs they ARE classics. Thats all :] |
  |
| Bitterly disappointed that there's so many classic anime shows left out from the club's listing of classic anime. There are some titles in that list now that I would question them being classic. Anyway, that's off-topic for now. My favourite classic anime is Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu (Legend of the Galactic Heroes). Here are some of the other classic anime shows that I enjoy but are not in the club's list at this time of posting, listed in chronological order: Ashita no Joe (circa 1970-71) / Ashita no Joe 2 (circa 1981-82) Uchuu Senkan Yamato Space Pirate Captain Harlock Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (yes, I preferred this over the original series) Touch Top wo Nerae! (Gunbuster) |
| Akira FLCL Nausicaa Now and Then, Here and There Ranma 1/2 Slayers Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust They are movies/series/OVA's that had amazing characters, awesome plots, and were just all around kicka**!!!!!!! |
 |
| Saint Seiya Ronin Warriors Legend of the Galactic Heroes Captian Harlock Slayers YuYu Hakusho Vampire Hunter D Samurai X Soul Hunter etc.. |
         |
| Laputa |
| Vampire Hunter D For Me~ I Love It =3 -Spongee xx |
 |
| yeah, trigun, yu yu hakusho |
| I'm kinda of surprised no one has mentioned Robot Carnival or Video Girl Ai yet. At any rate, there you go. Robot Carnival has rightly been called the Fantasia of Anime. Unfortunately, its been out of print for quite some time now. Its a real pity, more folks need to see it. |
| As for me my fav Classics are all gits movies + series Of course Satoshi kon's works as well. Classic animes without miyazaki is impossible cowboy bebop, rurouni kenshin, whole gundam story is classic, macross either. and i consider Sentimental Journey as one of the best classical josei genre representative. |
| Vampire Hunter D - The Original I Loved It So Much I Got It On Dvd |
|
| Dragonball Z Although people will disagree with me DBZ was an inspiration to alot of Anime artists |

| GTO is my favorite anime of all time, so naturally it is my favorite classic, but Bubblegum Crisis (currently on episode 4), is holding a good strong second place. |
| I'm back. |
| My favourite classic would have to be Cowboy Bebop. Princess Mononoke, Trigun and Lain are pretty good as well. |
| Cowboy Bebop and Dragonball Z |
| [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/Masaaki&sclick=1][/ur |
| Mobile Suit Gundam and Kimagure |
 |
| This is my list, the short version. Dominion Tank Police, one of my first. M.D. Geist Outlanders, this one rocked. BGC Future Boy Conan |
 |
| Mobile Suit Gundam / Zeta Gundam (love them both <3) Vision of Escaflowne Neon Genesis Evangelion Rurouni Kenshin I still need to watch Cowboy Bebop and Trigun >< |
 |
| Capricorn Gunbuster Cowboy bebop is great. |
