Favorite TV Anime 1980-1999

Stemming from some discussions regarding the overall perceived quality in anime today compared to the past.  I thought it would be interesting to put together a list of the TV shows I really enjoyed from between 1980-1999 and 2000-2014.   Here are the shows from 1980-1999.

Colorful (1999)
Cowboy Bebop (1997)
Excel Saga (1999)
Genesis Climber MOSPEADA (1984)
Gundam X (1996)
Kare Kano (1998)
Maison Ikkoku (1988)
Neon Genesis Evangelion (1995)
Orochubon Ebi-chu (1999)
Ranma 1/2 (1989)
Rurouni Kenshin (1995)
Serial Experiments Lain (1996)
Tenchi Universe (1995)
The Vision of Escaflowne (1996)

     That is 14 TV shows that I really enjoyed.  In this entire time period there was an estimated 550 or so TV anime produced and aired in Japan.  Out of those around 125 ever saw commercialization in North America in some for or other.
