Ok i need to check some of these out since our tastes appear similar. Thank you for sharing, and with a little write up for each too! Appreciate the "wall of text"
I want to reciprocate, but like i said i haven't seen many from that era. An exception is wolfs rain from 2003. Its probably my fav anime of all time actually, so if yu haven't seen it, it might be right up your alley.
