A big "thank you" to my friend Lorissagg for helping me with some researches :D
Here's his profile if you're interested: https://myanimelist.net/profile/Lorissagg

Movies from 1990-1999
Other Movies: Spring and Chaos

This is a list detailing the in universe chronological order of the 1988 LoGH OVA, including the Gaiden series and related movies. Although all of the Gaiden series and movies are set before the main series, I strongly recommend finishing the series before proceeding to the other content. The in-universe chronological years are written in the description of each work. While the two Gaiden are two separate releases, these should be watched at the same time according to the chronological order, the arc watch order is included in the description of both series.

The Golden Wings movie adaptation is excluded from this list due to having a different director, voice cast and character design than the OVA.

Every cinema or direct to video anime film that came out in 1993.

Disclaimer: There are a few hentai movies, that could be counted as well:
- Dochinpira (1993)

A list of essential anime based in outer space.

A list of some notable anime from the 70's & 80's. Since many grew up with anime in the 90's or later, this list features some well known and culturally significant anime that are underappreciated due to their age and relative obscurity.

It's perfect for anyone that wants to dive into older anime but has no idea where to start.

Part 2: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/42282

It includes all kinds of sci-fi anime subgenres from dystopian, utopian, aliens, space operas, comedy, dark and psychological etc. A variety of selection to explore the world of my favourite genre which is sci-fi. It includes extremely serious nerve wrecking stories to absolutely light hearted fun ones.

2 Movies
108 / 160 Episodes

It's also recommended to skip the episode previews as these provide massive spoilers for future events
The prequels are optional to watch & unnecessary to understand the main story though fans shouldn't be disappointed

Every 1990-1999 anime on the MAL database with a score of 8.00 or higher. Listed chronologically.

This doesn't reflect my own opinion of the shows. Nor does it have every retro anime worth watching by any means. This is just a collection of anime that audiences in general rate highly

Part 1 (pre-1990): https://myanimelist.net/stacks/63716

Compiled in April 2025. Some ratings may change at the time of your viewing, but I'll only remove/add something if its rating changes substantially.
