How's Princess Nine and Legend of Basara?

...

From that list I've only completed Cowboy Bebop and Trigun, I liked Trigun more but Cowboy Bebop is more critically acclaimed series. I know some Initial D too, but mostly due to eurobeat memes.

Lodoss-tou Senki is better as 13 episode OVA. I can't say much about the rest.

Wasn't that about the time DBZ started airing on RTL2?

Going by OP pic, it's Initial D. The rest doesn't even remotely come close.

I wonder

Cowboy Bebop and Trigun are both far better than Initial Dump.

What? Initial D isn't even good, it just got memed to hell.

Fake news. Everyone knows Gurren Lagann was the first anime ever made.

Bebop, Trigun second but not very close.

I don't give a shit about the memes, but it has been one of the most entertaining franchises to follow.

CCS

Trigun is one of the most boring action anime ever. It's Cowboy Bebop for contrarians and hipsters. AOTY 1998 is between Cardcaptor Sakura and Cowboy Bebop, which unironically deserves its praise and has one of the greatest original soundtracks in any medium. It may be for westaboos, but it is still a great series that passed the test of time. If I had to choose, then Cowboy Bebop is a chotto better for me.

It's Serial Experiments Lain.

This. I amend my previous post. Accidentally forgot that one was made in 1998. It wasn't in the image for some fucking reason... what was I expecting from a MAL screenshot, anyway.

Gekiganger 3

>Trigun is one of the most boring action anime ever.
Sup Forumsutists out in full force already

It's either that or Crayon Shinchan: Arashi o Yobu: Appare! Sengoku Daikassen for me.

...

It's Kare Kano. CCS is a pretty close second though.

The ORIGINAL Yugioh came out in 1998? Fucking hell.

>It's Kare Kano.
imagine being this fucking retarded and calling a show that does such pisspoor use of the audio visual medium the best anime of the year 1998.

Initial D

Kare Kano is Anno's best directoral work. And only an idiot would say it doesn't utilise the medium almost perfectly.

Kare Kano

Remember that time Toei all most held the Yugioh IP hostage but thank fucking god the show got picked up by a competent studio in time? I'm still glad the animation world survived the monopolies Ghibli and Toei had.

>Princess Nine
It was okay, though the more recent baseball girls anime does the concept much better.

Should try to give Initial D an honest shot. The first three stages are pretty good. I'm not into cars or racing whatsoever and i was on edge of my seat watching this show. Great characters and good pacing for the most part.

kare kano is a manga in colors. inner monologue is piss poor writing for an audio visual medium when its the job of the medium to express its emotions through visuals and other means that arent words. the show is an abomination that gains virtually nothing from being animated. only a complete mongoloid would consider this to be a proper adaptation.

The music brainwashes people into thinking it's good.

What about Bubblegum Crisis Tokyo 2040 or Outlaw Star?

>Outlaw QUALITY
ftfy

>Tokyo 2040
So many people hate this, but it was a good little reboot.

Objectively the best year,

>1998
>Kare Kano
>Lain
>Trigun
>Sakura
>Cowboy BeBop
>I was 13 and dreaming I could be a normal person with a good life in the future

I miss the past, guys.

And my vote goes to Lain.

1. Serial Experiments Lain
2. Cowboy Bebop
3. Perfect Blue
4. Kare Kano
5. Trigun
6. Getter Robo: Armageddon
7. Martian Successor Nadesico: The Prince of Darkness
8. Glassy Ocean
9. Neo Ranga
10. Outlaw Star

Trigun has better characters and story than Bebop, but Bebop has superior production values and direction

Kare Kano always has meaningful visuals and if you can't see that then you're blind or not paying attention.

Kare Kano

You're fucking retarded. Kare Kano uses an incredible amount of directing and animation techniques. It's clearly the junction point between NGE and FLCL.

To say that just because it uses inner monologue means it's a shit adaptation is utterly retarded. Especially since it uses its sound, music and
fantastic visuals to enhance everything about the story.

Oh it's you again.

Looking at 1998 releases reminds me of how far tv anime has fallen.

>dislikes Trigun and thinks it's comparable to CB thematically
>contrarians and hipsters
>uses 'unironically' for emphasis
Checks the fuck out

Grander Musashi is actually pretty good. It tickles my fishing autism the right way.

Trigun, by far. Cowboy can suck my dick

Inner monologue is not really a big deal to me. But I agree that Kare Kano is just a manga in color. It's not very well written, but not because it features inner monologue.

Legend of Basara sounds cool, is it any good?

The best thing to come out of 1998 was me

>Princess Nine
great
>Legend of Basara
I dont remember the anime but the manga was cool

>contrarianism

>Grander Musashi RV
Fuck, I loved this show. I only watched it on TV though, I can never find a torrent for this. Does anyone have it?

Bebop. Trigun was meh at best and the rest on that list were straight up garbage.

This.

The best thing to come in 1997 was my dick in ur mom lol

1998 was a good year. What is the best year of anime?

2007 or 2014 prolly.

Why in the fuck are 35 year olds browsing Sup Forums

>he thinks he's going to leave Sup Forums when he grows up

>He thinks the average Sup Forumsnon is younger than 25.
My sweet child

>He hasn't seen bnha threads.
Oh boy.

Those are an exception. Bnha threads are basically tumblr embassies.

...

What they should browse at 35? You will get old one day too.

Its cowboy bebop obviously. its one of the top five of the 90's

Oh shit forgot about lain.

still coyboy bebop with lain as second

resetERA

Do you have any advice for Anons about to hit their 30s?

I generally love birthdays, but this year it hurts.

Oh neat, I never thought to use MAL's seasonal anime page like that.
At least it justifies its miserable existence.

CCS and Trigun

it get worse from here on so strap in

CCS > Bebop >>> every other anime that year

This is Sup Forums's roster.

>What was the AOTY of 1998?

The answer should be obvious.

Hopefully it survives Kadokawa’s death grip on the industry.

Not even up for debate it was CCS. Fucking huge back in that time

>liking Bebop

...

>I was 13 and dreaming I could be a normal person with a good life in the future
fug

>unironically

It's really a no contest besides Trigun and Bebop. I guess Cardcaptor and Initial D would be a contest for 3rd.

bebop is the most Sup Forums thing ever
nice try though my fellow redditor

Just remembered Outlaw Star was 98 so that's 3rd.

Bebop > Sakura > Dagumi
iwannadance

i'd order top 5 differently and stick initial d for a top 6 but otherwise good
