In my humble opinion anime of long ago is way better than stuff today. I'm not really capable of making such a decision I really haven't seen many good new series except for Bebop and EVA (of what I'v seen). Fushigi Yugi and Kenshin are very good as well. Ranma 1/2 is an incredible show spanning most of the 90's. However looking back, the 80's to me is the "golden era for anime". Too much happened, Maison Ikkoku, Ranma 1/2 (at least season 1) not to mention Urusei Yatsura (Rumiko Takahashi was in the zone). Dragon Ball followed making for the start of an incredible franchise. Kimagure Orange Road drew many to watch it's intricate love triangle. More in the 70's series like Macross and Yamato certainly showed us a thing or two about space and it's wonders. Don't get me wrong anime from past to present is always going to be amazing however in the word's of my grandfather "they don't make 'em like they used too".
