Aside from the thoroughly excellent Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury, I’ve been watching a handful of anime from across the decades for a project I’m working on with a couple of friends (the details of which will be revealed Soon tm).
The one that have stuck out to me most are Legend of the Galactic Heroes, a delightfully political and ideological space opera concerned with the idea of great men of history, and NANA, which is probably the best, most mature and complex romantic drama I have encountered in a very long time.
