Favourite Decade in Anime

Okay so we have favourite anime, seiyuu, bishounen, bishoujo, mascot, attack, apparel etc...

But what about favourite decade of anime. It seems that each decade has had not only its own breakthroughs, but unique style, perceptions etc that reflect that time period.

It's important to look beyond "Oh my favourite anime was made then so I guess that decade is my favourite" sort of mindset. Each decade has had its own unique style, and you may be surprised how your tastes work.

(An incentive by SGI for fans to look at older or more recent anime and explore a bit and Co)
If I miss a significant decade please tell me.

Examples of Significant Anime from Each Decade:
70's: Rose of Versallis, Gundam
80's: Kimagure Orange Road, Aura Battler Dunbine, Marmalade Boy
90's: Evangelion, Ruroni Kenshin, Lain
00's: RahXephon, Full Metal Alchemist, Inuyasha

Can't say that I'm not fond of the older ones, back when the animation wasn't everything and the storylines were. There may be some overlapping of decades, though.

hmmmm it all depends on the story line to me.

That's a kinda difficult question for me; altought I belong to 80's generation (I'm 21 years old), every decade has its magic. E.x. I love Urusei Yatsura from 70's, Ninja Boy - Kabamaru Igano from 80's, Tenchi Muyo from 90's and Inuyasha from 00's.

Mine would have to be the current decade, they seems to be vringing out more titles now, and the variety to chose from is growing, but you still have to appreciate the old decades since they were the ones who paved the path for all these new ones evryone likes and loves, the greats that made all this possable such as ghost in the shell and akira two titles that anyone who if an anime fan would know, if you dont know them then your not fit to be an anime fan! the two that revolutionized the genre, im starting to bable but you get the picture!

thats all good'n'all but theres a j-pop/rock section for this stuff, sorry but this is unrelated to the topic at hand.

I'm kind of partial to the super robots of the 70's because they are the ones that started me on to anime. And I really enjoyed hearing those pilots shouting out their attacks. :D

you mean like, what was it called 'battle of the planets' and ..... argh i forgot the names!

I was thinking more of like Mazinger Z, UFO Grendizer, Daimos and the likes.

mazinger is one, hey they re-released a modern one now havnt they?

I guess the current decade since i'm starting to see different animes that are on t.v or DvD.

Yup, that's Mazinkaiser and he can really kick butt better than Mazinger Z ever did.

I want to have whatever it is you're smoking...

A TRIPLE POST omg omg omg!!! lol. Me too xD, maybe he had some lsd or mushrooms ^^

Nazura, ok then what anime do you like then?

I like any kind I'm only 13 going on 14 but my older sis loved anime and use to make me watch it with her.So I know more about old animes like G Gundam and the other Gundam series and the Tenchi Muyo series than most kids my age do.Although I like the more recent ones like Naruto and Inuyasha more than some of the old ones like Tenshi Muyo, but one of my all time favorite animes is Ruroni Kenshin.

I like the newer anime. I know the older ones are classics and there may be some good ones out there but I think they are gay....I'm sorry.

I say the 90's there is a lot of good animes in the decade.
