More '90s anime for your viewing pleasure

The '90s was an amazing time for Japanese anime fans the world over. Countless series came out year after year, helping create pop culture as we know it. Kids who didn’t even know Japanese sang along with the theme songs, and Japanese anime characters became as popular as those from Saturday morning cartoon shows in the U.S. Here are a few more of those beloved anime from the '90s.

Yu Yu Hakusho

Known in other countries as “Ghostfighter,” “Ghost Fighter,” or “Spirit Detective,” “Yu Yu Hakusho” follows the story of a Japanese teen who dies early on and is resurrected with the power to battle monsters from another dimension. Three other boys accompany him on his adventures. Rurouni 

Kenshin

“Rurouni Kenshin,” otherwise known as “Samurai X,” tells the tale of Kenshin Himura, an exceptional swordsman from the Meiji Era of Japan. The character development, as well as the unique cast against the backdrop of feudal Japan, is brought brilliantly to life in this anime.

Gundam Wing

Arguably the most popular Gundam series outside of the Universal Century Gundam canon, “Gundam Wing” has an approach that makes it almost like viewing a documentary on a historical war in space. Five Gundam pilots and a princess are the series’ main protagonists, and they all maneuver themselves expertly and compellingly in a war-torn future.
