im almost certain that the golden age started with akira and continues until this day.
top 5 (in order of importance)
1. akira - kick started the anime industry big style, internationly as well as in japan
2. ghost in the shell - the first anime to be "truely" appreciated outside of japan by the general public/provided alot to the matrix and modern american action movies
3. spirited away - the first anime to win an oscar, need i say more?
4. neon gensis evangelion - possibley the most popular anime tv series ever, eva sparked a huge amount of controversity with its religious elements and, lets be honest, shit endings. it still hasnt lost its buzz even over 8 years later
5. dragonball/z/gt - this show goes on forever and was probably the first anime tv series of this "golden era" to get played all over the world, even though there are hour long conversations before fights
guess i put in alot more effort than the rest of you guys
