   In my opinion, the 90 was when anime was at its best. We had Evangelion, Cowboy Bebop, Digimon (01/02), Dragon Ball Z, Pokemon when it was good, Outlaw Star which I remember liking which I find is better than a lot of anime created today. Yes there are of course some good ones but there are more amazing ones in the past.

   Today's anime is all about fanservice. I like fanservice as much as the next guy, I like boobs. Yes I even liked Eiken because it gave a rare OVA about girls with insane boobs but I'd prefer watching the classic animes that seem more solid and truely amazing programs.

   Neon Genesis Evangelion is my all-time favourite anime and I name many anime from this generation that make my favourite list.

   Cowboy Bebop was released on DVD in 2000 in the US, airing in 2001 on Adult Swim. Outlaw Star was released on DVD in 2000 also and didn't air until 2001 on Toonami.

   Do I wish I can relive the 90's? No, since I wouldn't get to see those amazing shows until the 2000's

   Edit: Whoops, forgot about the VHS release of Outlaw Star coming out in 1999. Then again I doubt anyone here knew its existence until Toonami broadcasted it.

   My friend and I were discussing what should be considered the worst movie ever made, and I said Troll 2. He said some other movie (I can't remember what it was) that came out in the 90s. His defense: "Troll 2 is bad, but this movie is 90s bad."

   No, simply because I can watch 90's anime even now, plus a lot of other great stuff from 2000+

    90s was the best decade that ever happened to USA!

    - USA was above everything else technologically, economically & militarily (conventional warfare) and former communist/socialist waned and quickly adopted free enterprise.
    - USA (with minor help from allies) won the war against the 4th largest armed forces (Iraq) in just a couple of weeks. Good riddance to memories of Vietnam!
    - USA had some memorable cartoons too.

    Looks like you forgot to take off your nostalgia goggles.

    The 90's was great if you were a kid. There were a lot of great shows and tons of fun hobbies at that time (assuming your parents had the money to let you indulge on every new fad).

    and imagine going from...

    DOS and Windows 3.1 in early 90s to Windows 95 in the mid 90s to Windows 98 in just a few years... is surreal.

    I didn't think the topic was created solely for an anime related question. If all your thinking about wanting to live in the past just cuz of anime? wth. I didn't think anyone would be- (troll troll troll cuz I kinda mad)~~~~~~~

    Deal with it.

    As much as I love old anime, if you are referencing the Nineties as a "retro" period, sure. It is. But keep in mind you have a few decades before that which also fall into the retro period. And arguably, anything that came before the Nineties is even more retro than the Nineties was.

    The fact you liked Eiken is going to render your opinion a moot point with about 90% of the anime fandom populace, anyway. But think of it like this. Whatever recent decade you grew up in, you are going to have fond memories of the anime relating to that period.

    Especially the Nineties, which was arguably a breakthrough point for anime into the West. I'm just going to assume you're Western at this point since you mentioned Cowboy Bebop almost immediately.

    However, if you ask any nostalgia buff who was growing up in the Eighties if they liked Nineties anime, they'd immediately spit in your face and call you a Nineties Lover.

    Just saying. That's all.

    The 90s were good for reasons other then anime.
    Cheap gas a good selection of cars, the economy was healthy, Clinton was a competent president, the Music was good,everything did not fall apart 6 months after you bought it.
    The internet though slow was fun no RIAA and MPAA trolling it like they do now and Facebook did not exist.

    Now the 2000s has been called the decade from hell by Time and for good reason.

    2000 was a good year but 2001 was the worst year since the breakout of WWII.

    9-11,the failpatriot act,Apple becoming a douche bag company in 2006,shit from China,high gas prices,reality TV becoming too prevalent,and incompetent politicians including the worst president since Nixon.
    The decade esp the years 2001-2008 was pure shit except for a few gems I shall list.
    SS1 winning the X prize.

    MER Rovers.

    Shows like Azumanga,Lucky Star, Macross Frontier ,TTGL,Higurashi,American Dad "Not an Anime but still good.",Fire fly also not an anime but still good.

    The 2008 Dodge Challenger.

    If I had a time machine I might consider tampering with events of the past to erase the fail.

    It depends on others though considering I grew up in the 90's as a kid, it was pretty ok... when the Video Games were of better quality rather than just simply having fancy graphics.
