Best Anime of the 90s – Top 10

10. Sailor Moon: First of all, it's impossible not to mention this wonderful work that was a huge success in the 90s. Even though it's more focused on a female audience, it still charmed many grown men. It's undoubtedly a unique work that will remain in the hearts of everyone who has watched this anime.

9. Pokémon: Now, here we have another great classic that was a worldwide success. We even had this incredible series on Brazilian open TV, which was undoubtedly one of the driving forces behind the otaku culture here. Furthermore, it's worth noting that Pokémon remains successful to this day, especially with its huge and varied game franchise.

8. Trigun: This one stopped the world in 1998. It featured epic scenes and a super engaging plot. Furthermore, Trigun gave us plenty of laughs and an unparalleled adventure. Without a doubt, it's the kind of work you'll never forget and deserves to be on this list.

7. Neon Genesis Evangelion: And who doesn't remember this acclaimed work for the psychological themes it explored? In fact, they made four feature films for this series, the last of which was recently released. This just shows how surreal Evangelion is, whether dealing with sensitive topics like depression or even the frenetic battles with robots!

6. Berserk: Here we have one of the best manga currently being published. But, unfortunately, the author of this work recently passed away, which has left the future of Berserk uncertain. In any case, whether it's the manga or the anime, it's undoubtedly a success and has created a legion of fans with its surreal story.

In any case, it's unique in bringing us a plot full of reflections and, above all, a story full of epic battles. Samurai X has certainly made history, and we also have to highlight its live-action adaptation, which is also very good.

4. Yu Yu Hakusho: Here, we see one of the best works by the great master Togashi. He brought us this wonderful anime. Whether it's the fights, the funny scenes, or the perfect characters, this work certainly marked an entire generation!

Here in the top 3, we have the best teacher of all! Because Onizuka gives us many reflections in comical and indirect ways. Therefore, even having a simple plot and seeming somewhat childish, it is certainly one of the best anime ever made. Incidentally, it's worth highlighting the manga, which is simply perfect!

02. Cowboy Bebop

Cowboy Bebop moved the entire world with its unexpected ending. Full of a special philosophy, the series offers a futuristic mix, packed with fights and memorable scenes. Released in 1998, it has 26 episodes, each one better than the last. I highly recommend watching it.
