=
Neon Genesis Evangelion is a Japanese anime television series produced by Gainax and Tatsunoko Production, directed by Hideaki Anno, and written by Anno and Khara. Set in a futuristic Tokyo fifteen years after a global catastrophe known as the Second Impact, the show focuses on teenager Shinji Ikari who is recruited by his father to pilot one of several monstrous biomechanical constructs called Evangelions in combat against monstrous beings called Angels that threaten humanity’s existence.
Neon Genesis Evangelion was first broadcast on TV Tokyo from October 4, and anime aired from 1995 to March 27, 1996. It was followed by two feature-length animated films: Death & Rebirth (1997) and The End of Evangelion (1997). A reboot series titled Rebuild of Evangelion began in 2007 with Shin Seiki Evangerion Gekijouban: Ha (Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone), which consists of four films that conclude with 3rd Impact being triggered at the end of 3rd Movie – You Can (Not) Redo(!).
The series takes place during 2071-2072 when mankind has colonized other planets after Earth became uninhabitable due to pollution and other manmade problems such as war between nations over resources like oil supplies caused global warming which led oceans rise up above ground level causing land masses all over planet Earth
Turn into desert wastelands where nothing could grow anymore except for cacti plants which were used for food source back then before technology advanced enough so we could build machines instead relying only on human labor alone without any help from nature whatsoever because there wasn’t anything left after decades upon decades fighting wars over land disputes etcetera…
Dragon Ball Z
Dragon Ball Z is a Japanese anime television series produced by Toei Animation. It is the sequel to the anime series Dragon Ball, and is based on the manga of the same name by Akira Toriyama.
The story follows Goku who trains hard after defeating Piccolo Jr. After training with his new power, he defeats Raditz (Goku’s brother) and then fights Vegeta who has come to Earth looking for a wish granting dragon called Shenron; however they are interrupted by his former teacher Master Roshi (who only appears in flashbacks).
The first two seasons were produced by Toei Animation; but season three onward were produced by Fuji Television at their studios in Japan instead of being outsourced like earlier seasons were made overseas due to budget constraints imposed upon them when producing anime domestically versus outsourcing it overseas which would cost less money per episode but also meant having limited control over what would happen next since company
Funimation or Viz Media don’t own any rights over intellectual property owned by another company such as Toei Animation’s rights over Dragon Ball Z so if they wanted something changed from its original form then they’d have no choice but accept whatever changes were made without any input from them whatsoever even though Viz Media does have some say over content featured within its own shows like One Piece where characters aren’t allowed kill each other off unless otherwise specified beforehand.”

The former was directed by Umanosuke Iida while the latter was helmed by Yasuhiro Nakura.
The main character of this story is Alucard who is portrayed as an extremely powerful vampire who serves as Hellsing’s most reliable soldier against their enemies; however, it seems that there is something more than meets the eye when it comes to this

The story follows a young prince who fights against an evil spirit that has taken over his country, while also trying to save a girl who has been cursed by it.
Princess Mononoke is one of those animated movies that’s really difficult to describe without giving away too much of its plot. It does have some fantasy elements involved, but at its core it’s about people: what makes them do what they do; how they react when faced with violence; why they choose one path over another; how we can overcome our differences (or not). It’s also visually stunning–the special effects have aged well over time and still look great today!

As Sakura captures each card with help from her friends Syaoran Li and Kero/Sparky (her guardian), she learns more about herself as well as her mother’s past when she was younger
The 1990s were a great decade for anime, and it’s easy to see why these shows are still popular today. They each have their own unique charm and appeal, but at their core, they all share some common themes: friendship, adventure and teamwork.
If you’re looking for something nostalgic that will bring back memories of childhood days spent watching anime with friends or family members then these series should definitely be on your list as its always loved by many anime fan and this an amazing magical girl series that has magical powers
