Blood Reign: Curse of the Yoma (aka Curse of the Undead: Yoma)
Not sure how popular this one is but I always liked it. Haunting atmosphere, depressing story, gory, gritty animation.
Good taste, OP.
One that gets overshadowed but is seriously worth tracking down is Crusher Joe. Released in the early 80's, it pretty much laid the groundwork for every non-mech sci-fi adventure series of the 80's and 90's. Written and created by the author / creator of the Dirty Pair and directed by Yoshikazu Yasuhiko who did the character designs for the original Gundam and directed some of the best episodes. Total throwback to classic pulpy sci-fi adventures with space pirates, sexy girls, horny robots, tough talking cyborg co-pilots and danger around every corner. If you like Outlaw Star, Cowboy Bebop or heck, even Guardians of the Galaxy, Crusher Joe should be watched immediately.

I really like the magical girl transformations stuff, apart from sailor moon I also enjoyed the following shows:
Creamy Mami show and Tonde Boorin series.
I hope someday this will get a translation...
Cardcaptor sakura and Fushigu Yuugi are also huge favourites of mine.
Will Ulysses 31 also count as anime? It's a collaboration between french and japanese studios and also another show I am a big fan of.
Super Pig aired on Fox Kids (at least in Brazil, so I suppose it aired on the USA as well). The protagonist was really cute.I hope someday this will get a translation...
Moe-blobs.
You know, Kantai Collection. Strike (Pantsu) Witches.
In the 80's those would have been really cool ships. Now, they're just anthropomorphized into ... blobs. And they sell. Shows you where the market has gone. :-/
Nadia The Secret of Blue Water is on Hulu btw. Really good so far.
Incorrect. Modern anime looks better, has better characters and stories, better music, and is so much cuter!

Has anyone here watched Genocyber? Do so if you haven't. Quite the mindfuck.
In general, everybody should just check out everything Yoshiaki Kawajiri has made, he's directed pretty much everything that's awesome, like Wicked City, Demon City Shinjuku, Ninja Scroll, Cyber City Oedo, Goku Midnight Eye, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, etc. He's got such a great eye for sexy visuals. His segment The Running Man from Neo Tokyo is a short format masterpiece:

Aw man, back when anime was shorthand for adult animation, and not moe garbage.
I'd kill for something in the vein of Cybercity Oedo.

FUMESY~ OLD PAL O' ME 'EART, YOU~
But didn't the term moe originate in the 1990s? Your favorite era is responsible for what you hate, zomg!
yeah, really awful times, glad the industry has gotten good since then
As someone who prefers 80s/90s anime in general and who hadn't seen any Bubblegum Crisis until recently, I was actually pretty disappointed by it.
Saw this Dragon Ball scene on national TV here in Mexico... it was hilarious.
The golden age, when they drew their vehicles/mechs and it looked glorious
Legit surprised we're four pages in without a single mention of Evangelion.
Kill Me Baby did not exist in the 80s nor the 90s therefore neither can be considered the golden age.
