Giant Robo: The Day the Earth Stood Still is extremely 90s, but also extremely good.

I think the recent Houseki no Kuni has some of the Lain/Eva appeal though its very different from both.

Golden Boy, the most 90s anime.

Madlax and Noir are early 00's but have a very 90's Anime feel to them. Kinda slow paced and wonky outside the fight sequences though.

I'm surprised nobody mentioned Haibane Renmei yet.

It's insanely messed up that people keep mentioning 00s series when they said they want something 90s as gently caress!

Why the gently caress is nobody suggesting Outlaw Star?

Giant Robo is the best suggestion because it started in the early 90s and ended in the late 90s. So you really get a taste for the entire 90s. Also giant robo is the best anime.

What could I try next? if you're okay with something that's not actually from the 90s, give MEGALOBOX a shot, it's consciously made to look like a show from the 1997-2003ish time period where digital ink and paint were just starting to cross over to anime. also, re: Bebop, my advice would actually be to start with episode 5 if you're broadly familiar with all the characters. the first four episodes are good but, being pretty much setup, they're not as good as where the show eventually goes, and it can be a little tough to get through if you already know all the setup from pop culture osmosis and don't quite know what you're anticipating.

There's actually a reason for that! Bebop was originally sponsored by Bandai's model division, and had a standing mandate of "give us ships we can sell as kits". Hence the heavy use of the fighters early on. Then they got four episodes into production. Bandai's model division saw what was made, went "uh... we can't market these ships...  ", and pulled funding. Watanabe got very lucky though, because the video division of Bandai heard about what happened and decided to front the bill instead with no "must sell kits" mandate attached. Hence the sudden and mostly-permanent shift to character-driven plots  .

honestly, it's less that (though you're not wrong that the general style of the show feels different) and more the amount of... table-setting, for lack of a better way of putting it. the first 4 episodes, aside from what you mentioned, are basically there to get the gang together and show the viewer who everyone is, and... if you already know who everyone is, that's not incredibly engaging. meanwhile, 5 is the first Vicious episode and one of the best in the entire series. like, I bought CB at Best Buy when I was like 14, and I already knew broadly what it was about and who everyone was from seeing bits on Adult Swim and being on /a/, and the first 4 episodes were kinda cool but not really grabbing me... and then Ballad of fuckin' Fallen Angels happened and I immediately fell in love with the show because that might be one of the best single episodes of an anime ever. e: holy gently caress, apparently when TV Tokyo first showed the series in 1998 they literally only showed half the series, and more or less a random assortment (apparently due to the show being too violent). they skipped Asteroid Blues (the first loving episode), Gateway Shuffle, Ballad of Fallen Angels, Sympathy for the Devil, Black Dog Serenade, Mushroom Samba, and every episode after Speak Like a Child, instead following that episode up with something called "Mish-Mash Blues" that was basically the production team's way of telling audiences the show got hosed over.

Nooo, this is direct from Watanabe himself. I know because I was actually there to hear him say it at his panel at the Madman Anime Expo. Episode 5 onwards was them slipping the leash and freely shifting the show away to what they wanted it to be, it wasn't all buildup leading to it. Again; "Must sell model kits". I also had my DVD boxset of Cowboy Bebop signed by Shinichiro Watanabe  .

Why do people think Megalobox looks even remotely like late-90s early 00s digipaint? I feel like people are confusing their nostalgia for Cowboy Bebop with reality

or looks like a bad dvdrip of a 90's show, though you can still tell it's being done digitally instead of on cels so

A lot of fantasy stuff is somewhat isekai generally, even stretching back into the early 80s. I guess it depends how strictly you define it, is someone who gets transported from our world to another world an isekai, in your view?
