I’ve only seen some of that, never even heard of many of them.
Steamboy the movie was visually stunning, and had a classic story. But it wasn’t up there with an an Akira or GitS.
I dimly rememebr bubblegum crisis and I take it they still play that neon genesis thing series on cartoon network.
Which has the best art? Which has the best story? The best of both?
Any compare favourably with GitS series?

Story and art, Gasaraki. Hands down. It was 23 episodes. Real deep military/politics and some Japanese mythology. The art was good/high quality but the story carried it overall.
People love it or hate it.
The AD police spinoff was midlin on art but the stories (3 about 20 min each) was not kid stuff. Hard Cyborg/police drama.
Gunparade March was another love or hate it with a solid story.
Fullmetal Panic split hard sci fi with Japanese teen comedy but was a lot more deep/good than the previews let on by far. Very philosophical.
If you can find any of them, especially Gasaraki, you will not likely be disappointed.
Bedtime for Bonzo ;)
